On March 11, Fotile officially launched the world’s first robotic kitchen at its Eco Conference. It is equipped with the industry’s first “growth-oriented” embodied AI system for kitchens, consisting of a heterogeneous robot matrix: a high-precision robotic arm handles cup positioning, water dispensing, and even the precise placement of tableware in the dishwasher; a humanoid robot carries out complex cooking operations such as pouring oil, stir-frying, and plating dishes. At this conference, Fotile also released the first Global White Paper on the Innovative Development of Smart Kitchens and established a classification system for smart kitchen capability levels (L1-L5).

Meta on Wednesday unveiled four in-house chips customized specifically for artificial intelligence-related tasks, as part of the company's large-scale data center expansion plan. The first new chip, MTIA 300, was deployed several weeks ago and is intended to help train relatively small artificial intelligence models that support Meta's core ranking and recommendation tasks. The upcoming MTIA 400, MTIA 450, and MTIA 500 chips are intended to handle more advanced inference tasks related to generative artificial intelligence, such as generating images and videos based on users' text prompts.

Technology reporter Gurman wrote that Apple’s (AAPL.O) foldable iPhone, which is expected to launch this fall, will update the iOS operating system to enable an iPad-like interface layout for the first time. According to people familiar with the matter, the product will be equipped with a built-in foldable display roughly the size of an iPad mini. It will also be equipped with an external screen comparable in size to the display of a smaller iPhone. Its internal display will adopt a widescreen aspect ratio, differing from the narrow-screen format of foldable phones currently on the market. People familiar with the matter said this will be a key selling point. Apple’s design is intended to make the device more appealing for watching videos. At the same time, developers will also be able to redesign iPhone applications more easily, bringing them closer to the operating experience of iPad software.
