On the morning of April 24th, "Fujiu" spit for a while, and then circled.

    At 18: 15 on June 9th, the female Yangtze finless porpoise (hereinafter referred to as finless porpoise) "Fujiu" reared in Baiji Dolphin Museum, Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences gave birth successfully, giving birth to a male finless porpoise with a body length of about 70cm and a weight of about 5kg, numbered F9C24, adding a new member to the artificially bred Yangtze finless porpoise family. For more than 10 days, the finless porpoise has been growing well and is currently undergoing a unique "molting" process.

    The dolphin mother "Fujiu" was introduced from Poyang Lake to Wuhan Baiji Dolphin Museum in 2011. She is 15 years old and is in her prime.

    At the beginning of June last year, during the most frequent period of finless porpoise breeding activities, Baibo Dolphin Museum began to monitor Fujiu by B-ultrasound. From June 12, 2023, the staff monitored the discharge of fertilized eggs, the growth and development of finless porpoise embryos, and the birth of finless porpoise. The 362 days of "Fujiu" pregnancy were completely recorded through B-ultrasound monitoring.

    After 12 months of pregnancy, on the morning of June 9 this year, the nursing staff noticed that "Fujiu" began to jump violently and returned to calm after one and a half minutes. Subsequently, it is accompanied by intermittent fast swimming and jumping behavior.

    Through these abnormal movements, the nursing staff judged that "Fujiu" was about to have a baby!

    Accompanied by researchers and nurses, Fujiu successfully gave birth to the finless porpoise F9C24.

    According to Wang Chaoqun, the training director of Baiji Dolphin Museum, after the baby dolphin is born, its umbilical cord connected with its mother’s blood is automatically disconnected due to pulling; Then the dolphin mother "Fujiu" quickly found the child, accompanied her intimately, and quickly started parent-child interaction; On the day of birth, the finless porpoise F9C24 sucked its first breast milk.

    "Fujiu" takes special care of the newborn finless porpoise. At the time of birth, "F9C24" almost hit the wall of the breeding pond several times because of the lack of swimming skills and strength. In order to protect the children, "Fujiu" intimately accompanied the small finless porpoise on the outside, blocking it with his body until it could swim normally.

    The finless porpoise is going through the process of molting. It began to shed its fetal skin a week after birth, and then put on a smoother "coat" to adapt to the changes in the environment.

    This is the second child of Fujiu. On June 27th, 2022, Fujiu successfully gave birth to her first little princess-Jiujiu. In order to let more people know more about the finless porpoise and better participate in the finless porpoise protection, in 2022, Wuhan Agriculture and Rural Bureau, together with Hubei Branch of Xinhua News Agency and Institute of Aquatic Biology of Chinese Academy of Sciences, planned and launched the popular science public welfare action of "witnessing the delivery of the Yangtze finless porpoise". This is the first live webcast of the whole process of finless porpoise delivery in the world, attracting 220 million people to accompany the delivery online. Enthusiastic netizens named the little finless porpoise "Jiujiu" on the spot.

    Hao Yujiang, an associate researcher at the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that Jiujiu, who is about to celebrate his second birthday, is lively and healthy, weighing 42 kilograms and 1.27 meters long. He is the star finless porpoise in the Baibo Dolphin Museum.

    The fathers of two small finless porpoises are both Taotao, who were born in Wuhan Baiji Dolphin Museum on July 5, 2005. They are the first finless porpoises in the world to reproduce naturally in an artificial environment. These small finless porpoises have become the "second generation" finless porpoises naturally propagated in artificial environment, which has important scientific research value.

    Wang Chaoqun told reporters that the pregnancy cycle of finless porpoise is 12 months. Generally speaking, a female dolphin may breed 7-12 small finless porpoises in her lifetime. Wang Ding, a researcher at the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that the finless porpoise’s own reproductive ability is still relatively strong, and it can give birth to two babies in three years. In Tianezhou finless porpoise reserve, researchers have observed that some finless porpoises are pregnant again during breastfeeding.

    ■ Taotao Accompanying Diary

    Hello, everyone! I am Taotao, the world’s first Yangtze finless porpoise successfully bred in artificial environment.

    Tell everyone a good news! At 18: 15 on June 9, 2024, my third child was born.

    The Baiji Dolphin Museum has arranged a bright and spacious single room and intimate partners for Fujiu during pregnancy.

    Our Yangtze finless porpoise is the only aquatic mammal in the Yangtze River, and it is also a national first-class protected animal. It is known as the "smiling angel", and artificial breeding is one of the important ways to protect us. Now, the river has become clear, and the Yangtze River has gradually recovered its vitality. By 2023, the number of dolphins in our family had risen to 1,249.

    I have lived in Wuhan Baiji Dolphin Museum for 19 years. In 2020 and 2022, I had my son "Hanbao" and my daughter "Jiujiu" respectively. The children’s names imply that the dolphin born in Wuhan is happy and long-lasting.

    Last June, my daughter-in-law, the finless porpoise "Fujiu", was pregnant. During the delivery, I would like to thank the researchers of Baiji Dolphin Museum, Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences for taking good care of her.

    Today, I will expose this visual diary exclusively for everyone and share my joy with everyone who loves finless porpoises.

    Thanks to all the people who care about the finless porpoise! Everyone calls finless porpoises "smiling angels". May there be more and more "smiles" in this world.

At present, mobile phone manufacturers including Samsung, Glory, Xiaomi, OV and Meizu have successively entered the field of AI mobile phones, and a new round of demand for mobile phone hardware is being set off, especially for related chips.

On March 18th, Qualcomm, an American chip manufacturer, held a new Snapdragon flagship product launch conference in Beijing, announcing the launch of the third generation Snapdragon 8s mobile platform. National business daily reporter noticed on the spot that in terms of basic performance architecture, Snapdragon 8sGen3 is still equipped with Qualcomm KryoCPU, which inherits the same CPU architecture as Snapdragon 8Gen3, including a super core with a main frequency of 3.0GHz, four performance cores with a main frequency of 2.8GHz and three efficiency cores with a main frequency of 2.0GHz.

However, from the positioning point of view, Snapdragon’s 8sGen3 is slightly lower than Snapdragon’s 8Gen3 released in October last year, which means that in addition to high-end flagship products, some mid-range mobile phones will also have AI functions this year.

Ma Xiaomin, Senior Director of Product Market of Qualcomm Technology Company, introduced that in terms of generative AI, Snapdragon 8sGen3 supports the multi-modal generative AI model running on the end side, and the model parameters are up to 10 billion. The person in chMetarge of Qualcomm also said that the chip supports a wide range of AI models, including Baichuan-7B, Google GeminiNano, Llama2, and ChatGLM of Zhipu AI. In terms of images, Snapdragon 8sGen3 supports real-time semantic segmentation of photos and videos, and it is more accurate to identify and segment objects and scenes.

Referring to the parameters of the end-side model, Guo Tianxiang, a senior analyst of IDC China, said to the reporter of national business daily through online analysis: "At present, the 10 billion end-side model (for consumers) will not be improved and upgraded in a subversive way. Next, more applications will need to use the model of cloud measuring 100 billion or even more parameters. However, the improvement of model parameters will become part of the competition of AI mobile phones in the future, but more importantly, it is necessary to actually improve the consumer’s experience from the usage scenario. "

Traditionally, every time Qualcomm releases its flagship chip, it will be favored by major Android phone manufacturers. At the press conference, mobile phone manufacturers including Glory, iQOO, realme Realme, Redmi and Xiaomi indicated that they would adopt Snapdragon 8sGen3, and commercial terminals are expected to be available in the next few months.

In recent years, it has become the biggest goal of Qualcomm to promote the production AI to reach all kinds of terminals, including a wide range of consumer electronic products. In January of this year, Qualcomm CEO An Meng shared how AI will profoundly affect the way people interact with terminals. "The revolutionary significance of generative AI is that the information on the terminal can help AI become a ubiquitous personal assistant, promote the integration of mobile phones and the cloud, and bring new ways of interaction to smart phones. There are also many amazing AI use cases in major mobile phone brands. Will be deployed in mobile phones in 2024; Let the car become a new computing space and support users to really talk to the car. "

According to him, the Snapdragon platform has now supported more than 40 different models, and the generative AI application will become a reality in the new terminal products launched this year.

In addition to Qualcomm, another mobile phone chip manufacturer, MediaTek, has also launched a mobile phone SOC chip with AI computing power-Tianji 9300, which provides the underlying performance and technical support for end-to-end generative AI. For example, the SDXLTurbo engine of Wenshengtu can generate images in real time according to the text input by users; The video generation capability of Diffusion can generate continuous videos according to the text or pictures input by users, and supports various animation styles.

On the terminal side, major mobile phone manufacturers have announced artificial intelligence plans, introduced customized versions of operating systems, and developed self-generated AI models to seize the wave of AI mobile phones. IDC predicts that in 2024, the global shipment of a new generation of AI mobile phones will reach 170 million units, accounting for about 15% of the total smartphone shipments. Among them, in the China market, with the rapid iteration of new chips and user usage scenarios, the share of the new generation of AI mobile phones will rise rapidly after 2024, reaching 150 million in 2027, with a market share of over 50%.

In the view of Guolian Securities, with the release of a number of new AI mobile phone models and the improvement of user experience brought by AI, smartphone sales are expected to return to the rising cycle.
