MUMBAI, India, July 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Fitterfly, a leading healthtech company in India, has partnered with Google Cloud to launch its latest AI feature – Fitterfly Klik, which will enable people with diabetes and other NCDs (Non-Communicable Diseases) to track and analyze their meals effortlessly. Nutrition planning remains the most important bulwark for managing type 2 diabetes as well as for weight loss and heart disease. However, traditional meal tracking methods – be it through manual journaling or entering in a text format in an app is cumbersome and discouraging for many. Fitterfly’s latest feature, Klik, changes all this by leveraging the power of Gemini 1.5 Flash on Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform to transform meal tracking into a quick, enjoyable, and insightful experience.

Fitterfly Klik uses state-of-the-art AI computer vision paired with the Fitterfly Nutrition Database, comprising 37,000+ Indian foods, to recognize, analyze, and break down food. Using Klik is easy. Within the Fitterfly app, users can access Klik within the meal-tracking food diary by clicking on the camera icon. A user can Klik while having a meal or upload images from the picture gallery in one go in the evening. It will instantly provide feedback on that food item, its portion size and give detailed nutritional breakdowns like calorie count, macronutrient and micronutrient distribution. So, whether it’s a bowl of pasta, biryani, or the regular thali, Klik can identify both Indian and international dishes on one’s plate.

Fitterfly Klik has been intuitively designed, and features like Focus Guidelines help users take the perfect photo for optimal food recognition. Klik’s advanced algorithms analyze the food’s image and its nutritional data and directly sync it to the user’s Meal Diary on the Fitterfly App. Users can also add additional items from the same plate if all dishes aren’t visible in the initial photo.

Ammar Jagirdar, Head of Fitterfly X-Labs, said, “With Gemini 1.5 Flash on Vertex AI connected with the Fitterfly Food Database, Klik makes meal logging possible in a few seconds, even with multiple dishes on a plate. Multimodal models today are surpassing traditional image classification methods in accuracy, even on a complex problem like food. Klik will reduce friction and help our users take another step in building healthier lifestyles.”

Dr. Arbinder Singal, Fitterfly’s Co-Founder and CEO, stated, “Indians eat more than 32 cuisines and a food cam AI was difficult to develop for both identification and serving size estimation. Paired with our industry leading food database, Klik is a step towards helping millions of people in making better choices and enabling better health outcomes. We will be making Klik available for our app users as well as via API to our insurance partners and the pharmaceutical industry.”

Bikram Singh Bedi, Vice President and Country MD at Google Cloud India, added, “Combined with Fitterfly’s dataset and Gemini’s multimodal capabilities, both teams collaborated to  identify the right model to help bring this powerful idea to life in an extremely short duration. Leveraging Gemini Flash, Fiiterfly’s Kilk is able to deliver exceptional quality, an expansive context window, and cutting-edge multimodal capabilities which will be very helpful for their users.”

The initial outcomes from the Fitterfly Klik beta phase are encouraging: users save significant time and effort logging meals, as evidenced by a 90% reduction in clicks. Validation tests confirm that Klik can precisely identify a wide range of food items and their portion sizes, ensuring that users have the most accurate nutritional information at their fingertips.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — NAVER, Brookfield and NVIDIA announced an expansion of Korea’s sovereign AI factory infrastructure. New investments will increase the initial NVIDIA DSX™ AI factory deployment from 55 megawatts to 200 megawatts.

Announced during Korea President Jae Myung Lee’s AI Summit visit to San Francisco, the planned 200-megawatt expansion will be built with the NVIDIA DSX platform at NAVER’s GAK Sejong hyperscale data center in Sejong, South Korea. The expanded infrastructure will provide Korea- and U.S.- based AI innovators with access to production-scale AI compute for building next-generation models, agents and AI-powered services.

Under the terms of the agreements, Brookfield will fund up to $9 billion as the exclusive capital partner, NVIDIA will invest $1 billion and NAVER will fund the remaining amount to finance the $10 billion project.

This builds on NAVER’s June announcement to extend its GAK Sejong data center with NVIDIA DSX, with a long-term path to gigawatt-scale sovereign AI infrastructure serving Korea’s enterprises, industries, government organizations and global AI cloud customers. Combining Brookfield’s capital with NVIDIA’s computing platform, the investment supports NAVER’s AI factory deployment.

“NVIDIA’s strategic investment and our infrastructure supply agreement with Brookfield have propelled NAVER’s vision for the AI Factory business into a robust execution phase,” said Haejin Lee, Founder and Chairman of NAVER. “Leveraging the solid partnerships with our global partners, we will drive technological innovation, foster a sovereign AI ecosystem, and spearhead efforts to strengthen South Korea’s AI competitiveness.” 

AI Factory Expansion and Open Model Collaboration to Fuel AI Innovators

NAVER, as an NVIDIA Cloud Partner, provides deep expertise in operating hyperscale infrastructure powered by the full-stack NVIDIA AI platform. The 200-megawatt AI factory, featuring NVIDIA Vera Rubin and Blackwell platforms, will establish a dedicated resource pool for emerging AI companies, providing the compute, software and support needed to develop and deploy competitive AI models and applications at scale.

This expanded infrastructure also builds on NAVER and NVIDIA’s collaboration on open model development for agentic and physical AI. NAVER is advancing its HyperCLOVA X models to be based on NVIDIA Nemotron™ 3 Ultra open models with its proprietary data and training expertise. NAVER is also the first Korean company to join the NVIDIA Nemotron Coalition, contributing to open model development across pretraining, post-training and reinforcement learning.

NAVER plans to launch an AI agent platform in Korea in the second half of the year, powered by NVIDIA Agent Toolkit software including NVIDIA NemoClaw™ blueprints. NAVER is also developing a Seoul World Model using proprietary urban street-view and spatial modeling data, built on NVIDIA Cosmos™ world foundation models.

Beijing Review: Walking Through Time: China and U.S. Youths Explore Dali’s Past and Future

BEIJING, July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On July 17, a China-U.S. youth delegation came to Dali of Yunnan Province. By examining how Dali’s rich history intersects with modern development, the delegates explored new pathways for rural development.

They visited Dali Old Town, tried their hand at making the Bai people’s Three-Course Tea and also explored the ancient town of Xizhou, where they learned how modern tourism and indigenous life coexist.

In Yunnanyi Village, they explored its history as a stop along the Tea Horse Road and learned about the role it played during the Second World War (WWII).

Tyler James Smith

“I think it’s a very underappreciated part of World War II history. Hearing these stories of different countries working together despite cultural differences is incredibly inspiring.

I also think there are many stories like these that haven’t been widely told, simply because World War II is such a complex period in history. That’s why I think it’s so meaningful to visit museums like this and experience these stories firsthand.”

At Xiangyun Economic and Technological Development Zone, they visited a local new energy company to see how green, low-carbon development is driving regional growth.

Valerie Marie

“I recently started studying energy transitions. I know China has been really big in the renewable energy sector. So actually getting to hear more about [China’s] 2060 [pledge], learning more about carbon neutrality [goals], as well as other zero-carbon goals, was cool.”

During their stay in Dali, they also strolled along the Erhai Lake Ecological Corridor.

Bai Yiwen

“I’d describe this journey as “to be continued,” because my own connection with Yunnan is far from over. For the U.S. delegates, this was only their first visit, so they’ve only had a glimpse of what Yunnan has to offer. I hope they will have more opportunities to come back to China, explore other cities in Yunnan, and discover even more of its people, culture and traditions.”

After Dali, the delegates will visit Beijing for more tours and exchanges. The event was co-hosted by China International Communications Group (CICG) Center for the Americas and the U.S.-based International Student Conferences.
