AI models

Seven leading AI models were tested on the challenging 2025 Beijing Junior High School Entrance Examination, focusing on mathematics, Chinese essay, and English essay. While models excelled in essay writing, particularly in Chinese, and showed strong mathematical reasoning, particularly with LaTeX input, challenges remained in image interpretation for math problems. iFlytek Spark and Baidu Wenxin Yiyan performed particularly well across subjects, demonstrating AI’s growing capabilities in academic assessments.

Google launched the AI Edge Gallery, an app enabling on-device AI on smartphones. Sourced from Hugging Face, it allows users to run AI models offline with features like image-based question answering and text manipulation via a “Prompt Lab.” Performance varies based on device hardware and model size. The app is an experimental Alpha version, open-source under Apache 2.0, and encourages user feedback.
