Baidu's biocomputing research results were published in Nature
In the early morning of May 2, Nature, a top international academic journal, published the breakthrough results of Baidu and its partners in the field of biocomputing, and proposed the mRNA sequence optimization algorithm LinearDesign. mRNA vaccines are considered a viable tool to contain COVID-19, but mRNA vaccines and drugs still face some challenges. Among them, how to efficiently design stable and better druggable mRNA sequences is one of the difficulties. Baidu uses Lattice Parsing technology in natural language processing to optimize the mRNA vaccine sequence and improve the stability and effectiveness of the vaccine. The LinearDesign algorithm simplifies the massive computation of sequence design to a classic problem in natural language processing, turning "finding a needle in a haystack" into "following a diagram".

On May 3, Ctrip released the "2023 May Day Travel Data Report", showing that the average travel radius of users during the May Day period increased by 25% compared with the same period last year, of which the average distance traveled by air was 1,638km, which was about the distance from Shanghai to Hohhot, reaching a four-year peak and basically recovering to the same period in 2019. In addition, the number of domestic package tour orders during the May Day Golden Week increased by 11 times compared with last year.
Samsung Electronics banned employees from using generative AI such as ChatGPT and proposed to launch internal tools
For security reasons, Samsung Electronics has banned employees from using popular generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, Google Bard and Bing, and is preparing to launch internal tools. According to internal company memos, Samsung Electronics is concerned that data transmitted to the generative AI platform is stored on external servers, making it difficult to recover and delete, and may end up being leaked to other users. Samsung Electronics' new rules prohibit the use of generative AI systems on the company's computers, tablets, phones and intranets, but do not affect devices sold to consumers, at the discretion of the user. Previously, major Wall Street banks such as JPMorgan, Bank of America and Citi have banned or restricted the use of ChatGPT.
Apple and Google have developed industry specifications to reduce unnecessary device tracking
On May 2, local time, Apple announced that it and Google jointly submitted a proposed industry specification to help combat the abuse of Bluetooth location tracking. The specification will allow Bluetooth location tracking devices to be compatible with unauthorized tracking detection and alerts on iOS and Android platforms. Samsung, Tile, Chipolo, eufy Security and Pebblebee expressed support for the draft specification.
Microsoft plans to launch a version of ChatGPT that runs on dedicated cloud servers and costs ten times more than the regular version
On May 2, it was reported that later this quarter, Microsoft's Azure cloud server division plans to sell a version of ChatGPT running on dedicated cloud servers, and the data of this version will be kept separately from other customers' data. It is understood that this was done to reassure customers that their secrets would not be leaked to ChatGPT's main system. But the product could cost up to 10 times more than customers currently use the regular version of ChatGPT.
