Xtra Muse Portable Camera Hits Record Low of $329, Undercutting DJI Osmo Pocket 3

·4 views

The Xtra Muse, a portable vlogging camera widely considered near-identical to the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, has dropped to $329 on Amazon — its lowest price to date and roughly $100 less than it cost three months ago. By comparison, the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is currently selling for $378, down from its usual $500 price point. DJI has not commented on any involvement with Xtra, though a previous report described the Muse as virtually the same product in most measurable ways. A firmware update released in February resolved an earlier limitation, enabling the Muse to connect wirelessly to various microphones including DJI's own Mic 2, Mini, and Mic 3. The camera is suited for vlogging and general video recording where users want higher quality footage than a smartphone typically offers.

Alibaba's AI Models Win Developer Fans but Struggle to Generate Revenue

Alibaba has gained significant recognition in the artificial intelligence space, with its AI models attracting developers across the globe.

US AI Firms Accuse Chinese Rivals of Copying Models via Distillation

American artificial intelligence companies have raised concerns that Chinese competitors are replicating their AI systems using a technique known as distillation.

The controversy has brought renewed attention to the competitive and geopolitical tensions surrounding AI development between the two countries.
