Vibe Coding能否赋予屏幕阅读器开发者“编程超能力”？
编者按：生成式人工智能的持续发展正在改变人与数字系统交互、执行任务及协同工作的模式。在众多领域中，软件开发无疑是变革最为显著的一个。AI 编程工具大大提升了编码效率，尤其对依赖屏幕阅读器的视力受损开发者而言，新兴的“Vibe Coding（氛围编程）”模式更是带来了前所未有的可能。 然而，屏幕阅读器用户如何与 AI 编程工具协作？这些工具又将如何赋能他们？他们在使用 AI 编程工具时是否会遇到新的...
VibeVoice实现90分钟、多角色播客生成，拓展语音合成新边界
编者按：AI 自动生成播客早已不是新鲜事，但常见的 AI 播客只局限于几分钟的双人对话，这是因为传统语音生成模型大多基于离散化方法，更擅长生成短句、单一音色、结构规整的语音内容。近日，微软亚洲研究院提出了一种全新的语音生成模型 VibeVoice。该模型采用 next-token diffusion 机制，实现了长达90分钟、支持最多4人自然对话的高质量语音生成。更重要的是，VibeVoice 生...
