I. Generative AI: DeepSeek R1 Status Remains, Claude Sonnet 4 and Cursor Push AI Programming Forward

In Time Magazine's 2025 list of the best inventions of the year, China's deep-seekingDeepSeek-R1The top big models such as Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 4 and Anysphere's Cursor platform and Google's DeepMind world model Genie 3 and many more andAI Programming ToolsBoarding List.

DeepSeek came out of nowhere earlier this year, achieving strength comparable to the world's top models at a fraction of the cost, this Chinese-basedAI macromodelA "blow to the head" to the world.

The appearance of Claude Sonnet 4 and Cursor on the list is a sidebar to the fact that AI is gaining momentum in the field of automated programming at the moment.

1、DeepSeek R1: Chinese AI that shook the world

At the beginning of the year, the DeepSeek R1 advanced inference model came out of nowhere and was considered the AI field's"The First Shot to Shock the World".. While tech giants have poured tens of billions of dollars into generative AI projects in recent years, the Chinese startup has spent justseveral monthsJust build a system that rivaled OpenAI in industry benchmarking and at the timestate-of-the-art productmodel and claims that the training cost is only$6 million(approximately Rs. 42.688 million). The model's arithmetic consumption is only as low as that of its U.S. competitors'odd, which to this day is still available to subscribersfree and open.

2. Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4: The Developer's First Choice

When Anthropic released the Claude Sonnet 4 model in May, the general-purpose large-language model quickly gained favor with users, and within a week of the model's release there were75%of API users to complete the migration. According to research by Menlo Ventures, this version is quickly becoming the first choice for programming developers, with a share of the enterprise developer market ofMore than twice as many as OpenAI.

Upon release Anthropic significantly expanded Sonnet's context window, allowing it to process up to75,000 lines of codeof extra-long tips, with capacities up to competing products including the GPT-5more than twice as much. The company's Sonnet version 4.5, introduced in September, further enables even faster and more accurate computing capabilities.

4、Google DeepMind World Model Genie 3: Dialog with AI to Generate a 3D World

For most AI models, users can only get static responses after entering prompts. Instead, Genie 3, a world model launched by Google DeepMind in August, is capable ofTransforming textual cues into interactive digital worlds.

Simply let Genie 3 generate a river and instruct it to add a boat or sea creature, and the system instantly delivers stunning visual effects and supports users tominutesin a scenariofree exploration.

Google says the tool, which is currently only available to some academics and creators, has application potential that spans the education sector (e.g., simulating ancient Roman expeditions) and AI intelligences training for high-risk scenarios.

Second, the robot: Yu tree R1, Figure 03 debut, general-purpose humanoid robot into a hotspot

Today, humanoid robots are a hotspot in the robotics industry, and Figure AI CEO Brett Adcock has estimated that the market size for this track will reach40 trillion dollars(about 284.6 trillion yuan).

Figure 03, which is positioned for the home market, and Yu Shu R1, which is aimed at researchers, are two of the more iconic products, and the differentiated development paths of these two companies show two development paths for the humanoid robotics industry: home service and scientific research and development.

In addition to humanoid robots, consumer-grade products such as floor sweepers and drones are also pushing the envelope.

1. Yushu R1: Bipedal Programmable Robot

From drones to self-driving cars, most of today's robots are not the humanoid forms envisioned in science fiction, with the exception of the R1 robot developed by China's Yushu Technology.

This bipedal programmable robot released in JulyStarting at just $5,900(about Rs. 42,000), which is aimed at researchers, educators and software developers testing AI and robotics programs.

R1 weightOnly 55 lbs.with support for speech recognition and image processingBuilt-in AI systemPossesses26 joints(the number of human joints is about 300), wowing the audience with complex moves such as boxing, running and even cartwheels.

2. Figure 03: Humanoid robots for home scenes

Figure 03 is a humanoid robot made by Figure AI, and the model is positioned as a FigureFirst mass-producible humanoid robotThe company will eventually be able to participate in its own production line operations.

When it came out in October of this year, Figure 03 was already able to perform chores such as folding laundry and loading the dishwasher, but it still required human assistance, such as starting the dishwasher program or picking up dropped items. The company is currently working onLarge-scale data collection, by training the Helix neural network to enhance the robot's ability to perform diverse tasks.

CEO Brett Adcock argues that robotics is going through a similar development curve to digital AI, heralding theA major capability breakthrough is on the horizon. He plans onnext yearIntroducing Figure 03 to selected pilot homes.

The dilemma of recording life's moments is that the user must be removed from the moment in order to capture it, and the HOVERAir X1 PROMAX breaks this limitation.

This sports camera is small enough to easily fit in a pocket. The device flies autonomously to follow users as they speed down ski slopes or across ridgelines, capturing 8K video and continuously tracking the subject via AI technology. Built-in sensors effectively avoid the risk of collision, and its aerospace-grade, flexible material is tough enough to withstand the impact of an accidental fall.

5, Shadow Stone Shadow Plume Antigravity A1: immersive 360-degree drone camera

Shadow Rock Shadow Plume Antigravity is not the first company to put a 360-degree camera on a drone, but claims to be the first brand to design a drone around such a camera from the start.

The A1 comes with a pair of head-tracking glasses and a controller that has been redesigned for one-handed use. This means flyers can get a view of the drone in any direction they like, creating a more immersive experience. Because the A1 weighs only 249 grams, buyers in the U.S. and most other markets can fly it without a drone operator's license.

Third, the chip: quantum computing ushered in the "Cambrian explosion", focusing on reducing the threshold of arithmetic and power consumption

As the scale of big AI models continues to expand and the application of AI in various industries continues to expand, the AI infrastructure iterates along with it.
