JAKARTA, INDONESIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 January 2025 – Alibaba Cloud, the digital technology and intelligence backbone of Alibaba Group, has unveiled an expanded suite of large language models and AI development tools, upgraded infrastructure offerings, and new support programs for global developers at its annual developer summit today. These advancements aim to empower developers worldwide to build innovative AI applications more cost-effectively and drive a thriving global generative AI community. “Alibaba Cloud is committed to delivering real value to global developers through cutting-edge AI models, enhanced cloud infrastructure, and accessible support programs,” said Dongliang Guo, Vice President of International Business, Head of International Products and Solutions, Alibaba Cloud Intelligence. “Together, we aim to spark more AI-driven innovations, benefiting startups, enterprises, and industries altogether across the globe.” More Foundation Models and Development Tools for Developers The latest Qwen models, Alibaba Cloud’s proprietary large language model family, including Qwen2.5 series with sizes ranging from 7billion to 72billion parameters, are now accessible via APIs on its generative AI development platform, Model Studio, for global developers to use. Additionally, multimodal AI models including vision understanding models such as Qwen-VL series, visual generation model Wanx2.1 (also known as Tongyi Wanxiang), and audio language model Qwen-Audio are also available for developers to access. Developers can also leverage Tongyi Lingma, Alibaba Cloud’s proprietary AI coding assistant powered by the Qwen 2.5-coder model. The AI Programmer offers features such as code completion and optimization, debugging assistance, code snippet search and batch unit test generation. It provides developers with an efficient and seamless coding experience, significantly enhancing productivity and creativity. In addition to a broader range of models, a slew of new AI development tools is also accessible by global developers on Model Studio. These tools include Workflow, which breaks down complex tasks into subtasks to enhance workflow control, and Agent, which supports multi-agent collaboration for planning and execution tasks. Other tools such as RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), which helps enhance the accuracy and reliability of generative AI models with external sources; Batch Reasoning, which generates responses simultaneously with multiple prompt inputs; AutoEval (Automated Model Evaluation), as well as model deployment and application observability services will be available by end of this month. Upgraded Infrastructure for AI Development In order to provide robust computing to facilitate AI and other critical workloads, Alibaba Cloud revealed that its 9th Generation Enterprise Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance will be available in global markets starting April this year.

The cloud pioneer has also announced its innovative Alibaba Cloud Container Compute Service (ACS) is now available for international customers starting from January 2025. Designed for simplified and optimized workload deployment using container technology, the ACS integrates container services with underlying cloud computing resources, significantly reducing costs and technical complexity and enabling developers to focus on innovation rather than infrastructure management.

Participants in the program can gain support including free cloud credits, training workshops, invitation to tech shows and demo days, as well as product co-marketing opportunities.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 January 2025 – The Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA) will be setting aside up to $6 million in associated costs and subsidies to launch the Polytechnic Pathway Programme (PPP), specially curated for all local polytechnic graduates who embark on the Singapore Chartered Accountant Qualification (SCAQ) programme after completing their diplomas. The newly-minted programme is in line with recommendations by the Accountancy Workforce Review Committee, announced in May 2023, to ensure a sustainable pipeline of high-quality accountancy talent. Under the PPP, polytechnic graduates from full-time Pre-Employment Training Diplomas who sign up for the SCAQ Foundation Programme (FP) will receive a sponsorship of SCAQ-related fees and learning support from ISCA for a period of two years after graduation. The PPP will also allow polytechnic students to enrol as ISCA student members and gain access to SCAQ learning resources. Students from all local polytechnics in Singapore are eligible for the programme regardless of the diploma they hold, and ISCA aims to attract students across various non-accountancy disciplines, such as business, information technology, and even design and media. This initiative builds on the success of ISCA’s Accelerated Pathway Programme (APP), which was launched in April 2024 to offer university students studying accountancy a dedicated route to becoming a Chartered Accountant of Singapore. Since the expansion of the SCAQ in November 2023 to include non-accountancy diploma holders, ISCA has seen a twofold increase in the number of polytechnic graduates enrolling for the SCAQ, including graduates who held non-accountancy diplomas. Presently, ISCA has over 110 polytechnic graduates currently enrolled in the SCAQ FP, which comprises around 11% of the total SCAQ FP candidature pool. This number is projected to increase, especially with the launch of the PPP and other student outreach efforts that ISCA will scale up over the next few years. In addition, ISCA will be establishing Campus Enterprise Hubs across six polytechnics and universities by end-January 2025. These hubs are dedicated spaces which aim to provide an avenue for students to engage with ISCA and ISCA’s wide network of Accredited Training Organisations and Professional Accountancy Hub member organisations[1], collectively bringing together over 520 employers and 3.6 million members to connect with students. ISCA will also facilitate engagement sessions between students and employers, with the objective of cultivating a strong pool of talent for employers to tap on, and conversely helping students pursue internship and job opportunities. Earlier today, Member of Parliament and Chair of the Government Parliamentary Committee (GPC) for Finance, Trade and Industry Mr Liang Eng Hwa and ISCA President Mr Teo Ser Luck opened ISCA’s first Campus Enterprise Hub in Ngee Ann Polytechnic (NP). ISCA President, Mr Teo Ser Luck, said: “All our diploma holders who completed the SCAQ are fully employed. This speaks volumes for both the SCAQ and the value of polytechnic education in Singapore. We are pleased to expand our SCAQ support to polytechnic graduates on their journey to become a Chartered Accountant and cultivate accountancy as a study of choice here in Singapore.” Mr Lim Kok Kiang, Principal & CEO of Ngee Ann Polytechnic, said: “We are pleased to welcome the launch of ISCA’s Polytechnic Pathway Programme and the opening of ISCA’s Campus Enterprise Hub in NP. Besides enhancing the education and career opportunities for polytechnic students in the accountancy field, these initiatives will encourage more students trained in different fields to explore a career in this sector.” [1] ISCA’s Professional Accountancy Hub consists of 23 organisations from a wide variety of fields, such as the Singapore Business Federation, Singapore Computer Society, and the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SCCCI).

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 January 2025 – Arlo Technologies, a leader in smart home security solutions, is proud to announce the launch of its innovative fire detection feature, empowering users to safeguard their homes with the most cutting-edge technology. The new feature will immediately alert users when a flame is detected, allowing for faster contact with emergency services and giving users valuable time to protect their homes. Smart Fire Detection: Stay Ahead of the Danger Arlo’s fire detection system offers smart notifications that alert users to the presence of flames before smoke becomes a concern. This groundbreaking feature is designed to provide an extra layer of protection by detecting fires early, giving users time to react from anywhere in the world. Key Benefits to Users: Instant Fire Alerts: Receive a notification on your smartphone when flames are detected, even before the smoke is visible. Remote Action: Whether you’re at work, on holidays, or just outside the house, you can react quickly and contact emergency services. Comprehensive Coverage: Arlo’s cameras can cover large areas, allowing for enhanced protection in kitchens, living rooms, or any area of the home. Preemptive Safety: Early detection of fire allows users to avoid disaster by taking preventive measures before a small fire grows into a major hazard. How It Works Arlo uses AI technology to detect flames, unlike traditional smoke detectors that require smoke to trigger an alert. This means that with a Secure 5 Plus subscription, Arlo cameras can identify a fire in its earliest stages – when flames are visible but smoke has yet to spread – providing a faster response time.This proactive approach allows users to react faster and more effectively, potentially preventing significant damage to their home and belongings. Arlo’s fire detection technology is compatible with its existing suite of indoor and outdoor security cameras, meaning customers don’t have to purchase additional devices to take advantage of this feature. Arlo’s video-based fire detection feature is a supplementary tool and should not replace standard fire detection systems such as smoke detectors, conventional alarms, or proper safety measures.​ Availability The fire detection feature is now available as part of the latest update to Arlo Secure 5 Plus. Customers with an Arlo Secure 5 Plus subscription will be able to activate this feature. To find out more, visit https://www.arlo.com/hk/.
