Midjourney Unveils Full-Body Scanner for Health Spas
The Rundown AIhigh confidence
Why it matters
- →Midjourney's pivot could revolutionize health diagnostics with AI-driven body scans.
- →The scanner offers a faster alternative to traditional MRI scans, potentially increasing accessibility.
- →This move expands AI applications from creative to medical fields, showcasing versatility.
Midjourney, traditionally focused on AI image generation, has announced a new venture into medical hardware with a full-body scanner. This innovative device uses underwater ultrasonic sensors to complete a detailed body scan in just 60 seconds, aiming to match the detail of an MRI. The first Midjourney Spa, which will house these scanners, is planned to open in San Francisco in 2027. This development represents a bold new direction for Midjourney, potentially transforming routine health diagnostics with AI technology.

llama.cpp b10955 release addresses heap corruption
The latest release of llama.cpp, b10955, tackles a critical issue of heap corruption by disabling the ggml-cpu precompiled header and fixing CACHE_LINE_SIZE ambiguity. This update ensures consistent CACHE_LINE_SIZE values across C++ kernels and C work-buffer sizing code, preventing heap-buffer-overflow and subsequent crashes. By restoring the natural include order and removing the std::hardware_destructive_interference_size branch, the update makes the value deterministic and include-order independent. This release is a technical fix that stabilizes the runtime environment for developers using llama.cpp.

llama.cpp b10956 release enhances SYCL backend
The latest llama.cpp release, b10956, introduces significant improvements to the SYCL backend, particularly for handling large k values in TOP_K operations. By implementing a radix select method, the update allows for efficient GPU-resident processing, avoiding previous limitations that forced operations to fall back to the CPU. This change enhances performance, especially in scenarios requiring large k values, such as qwen4exp's sparse-attention indexer. The update ensures that operations are more efficient and scalable, providing a notable boost in processing speed without regressing any measured shapes.
