In the Friday, July 17th, edition of Olhar Digital News, various technological achievements and global events were presented.
Gabriel Sales, a 25-year-old developer from Rio de Janeiro, independently created the Aprenda Libras application. This digital platform is based on artificial intelligence and aims to improve interaction between deaf and hearing people. The system uses a smartphone camera to recognize body movements and subsequently translate them.
Following an unsuccessful launch attempt of the Starship rocket last Thursday (the 16th), SpaceX announced a new test flight for next Monday (the 20th). This flight is planned to maintain the goal of testing the V3 versions of the Starship and Super Heavy vehicles, as well as presenting an unprecedented opportunity to transport new Starlink V3 satellites.
During the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) held in Shanghai, Chinese President Xi Jinping presented Beijing's official strategy aimed at increasing the country's competitiveness in the global technology race. The Chinese government emphasizes the development of open models, international cooperation, and the involvement of developing countries in decisions about the sector's future.
The Chinese startup Moonshot announced the launch of Kimi K3, setting a world record as the largest open AI model, reaching 2.8 trillion parameters. This model is designed to perform tasks requiring advanced reasoning, long-term programming, and high knowledge density.
Olhar Digital News presented various significant events in science and technology. Among them is the upcoming launch of the most powerful telescope from NASA, which is capable of mapping billions of galaxies and is in the final stages of preparation.
DeepSeek is developing its own chip that could potentially elevate the Chinese startup to a new level in the artificial intelligence race. This hardware is intended not for training new AI models, but for the inference stage, meaning generating answers after system training is complete.
As elections approach, new rules are emerging regarding the use of artificial intelligence during election campaigns. Exclusive material has been provided clarifying what actions are permissible and what are prohibited this year.
A small nuclear satellite launched by SpaceX could be a turning point in space exploration. The BOHR satellite, developed by City Labs, was sent into space aboard a Falcon 9 rocket. The launch took place this Tuesday from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, USA.
For a long time, scientists have studied the difference between the temperature of the Sun's surface, which is about 6000°C, and the temperature of its outer atmosphere, which reaches millions of degrees. This mystery may soon be solved.
