CHINA

Xi’s AI Ambitions Signal Tech Showdown with the U.S.

China is accelerating its push to outpace the U.S. in artificial intelligence, turning the tech frontier into a superpower battleground. According to The Economist, Chinese leaders see AI dominance as a strategic imperative, while U.S. officials increasingly frame the competition as an “arms race.”

Key details:

• U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance warned of becoming “enslaved to PRC-mediated AI” if America slows down for safety concerns.

• President Trump signed a deal with the UAE to “ensure American dominance” in AI.

• Tech giants like OpenAI, AMD, CoreWeave, and Microsoft are lobbying for fewer restrictions.

• The U.S. is set to invest $1 trillion in AI data centers by 2030.

Why it matters: With Xi Jinping betting on centralized control and long-term planning, China aims to outmaneuver American capital and open innovation. The AI race is no longer just about tech—it’s about who shapes the future of global power.

ANTHROPIC

Claude 4 Launches with Advanced AI Agent Tools

Anthropic has released Claude Opus 4 and Claude Sonnet 4, boasting major upgrades in coding, reasoning, and tool use.

Key details:

• Claude Opus 4: Touted as the top coding model, built for long, complex tasks.

• Claude Sonnet 4: A sharper, smarter upgrade to Sonnet 3.7 with better instruction following.

• New tool use beta allows Claude to reason and use tools in tandem.

• With file access, Claude can now create persistent “memory files.”

• API additions include code execution, MCP connector, Files API, and prompt caching (1 hour).

• Priority Tier available for devs needing high-demand reliability.

Why it matters: Anthropic is moving fast into the AI agent space, positioning Claude as a serious rival to GPT-4 for tool-driven, intelligent workflows.

Google Launches LMEval to Standardize AI Model Testing

Google has released LMEval, an open-source tool to compare large language and multimodal models across platforms like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta.

Key details:

• Supports GPT-4o, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, Gemini 2.0 Flash, Llama 3.1-405B, and more

• Evaluates text, code, and images using a unified benchmark process

• Detects evasive (“punting”) responses in safety-critical tests

• Built on LiteLLM, so it runs across APIs (OpenAI, Google, Hugging Face, Ollama, etc.)

• Stores test results locally with self-encrypting SQLite

• Includes LMEvalboard, a visual dashboard with radar charts and drill-downs

Why it matters: With AI model performance now a key battleground, LMEval could become the industry’s go-to for fair, reproducible comparisons — helping both researchers and developers make smarter, safer choices.

AI BYTES

Lyria RealTime: AI-Powered Music Creation at Your Fingertips

Google has launched Lyria RealTime, an interactive AI music model that lets users create, control, and perform music in real time. Available via the Gemini API and Google AI Studio, it enables genre blending, instrument changes, and dynamic mood shifts, making AI-driven music composition more accessible than ever.

Nvidia’s Budget AI Chip for China Arrives in June

Nvidia is set to launch a lower-cost AI chip for China in June, following U.S. export restrictions on high-end models. The new Blackwell-based RTX Pro 6000D GPU, priced between $6,500 and $8,000, is designed to bypass TSMC’s advanced packaging and use standard GDDR7 memory, making production more efficient. This move aims to maintain Nvidia’s presence in China’s AI market, which has been impacted by U.S. trade policies, according to Reuters

AI CREATIVITY

Master Omni-Reference in Midjourney V7

Want precise control in your AI art? Omni-Reference in Midjourney V7 lets you anchor a specific object or character in your generation—like a rubber duck, glass fish, or anything you upload.

Quick how-to:

• Upload your reference image

• Add --oref [image URL] to your prompt

• Adjust --ow to control how closely the AI sticks to your image
  → 100 = light influence, 400+ = strong fidelity

Try this:
/imagine a bright yellow rubber duck on a pepperoni pizza, melted cheese and basil, playful and surreal —oref [image URL] —ow 400

Pro Tip: Play with settings and styles to create quirky, cinematic, or surreal scenes anchored by your chosen reference. Perfect for characters, products, or storytelling assets.
