China has made a significant breakthrough in artificial intelligence with the launch of its world’s first brain-like supercomputer, dubbed “Darwin Monkey”. The device boasts over 2 billion artificial neurons and is designed to mimic the human brain. Developed by researchers at Zhejiang University, Darwin Monkey features a dedicated neuromorphic chip that enables it to process complex tasks such as content generation, logical reasoning, and mathematics.
The system, which consists of 960 Darwin 3 brain-inspired computing chips, creates over 100 billion synapses. According to the university, this marks a major step towards achieving more advanced brain-like intelligence. By leveraging China’s AI company DeepSeek’s brain-like large model, Darwin Monkey has successfully completed tasks that typically require human-level cognitive abilities.
This groundbreaking innovation has far-reaching implications for the future of artificial intelligence and could potentially revolutionize various industries such as healthcare, finance, and education.
