In old games (shooters, sports, chess ...) that had computer-vs-player matches, they used word "AI" instead of "CPU player". AI wasn't implemented in old software (before 2010).
    Today, we have software that can learn from his user.
    That is REAL artificial intelligence, and it is a code, that can adapt to his user. It can learn and improve itself while taking interactions, with users help.
    Your websites that solves Rubik's cube, are fake AI. That is code written once. They will solve a cube, same way every time. Huawei can learn and reduce number of moves after every solved cube. This is real feature.

    Best example of machine learning (real AI) is Google Translate. It is improving as time pass. It learns from its users. Users can confirm if translation is correct, or submit a correction.

      Imperator Neubaticus, 26 Oct 2018That's stupid.Childhood trauma experienced with Rubik cube?

          HugoSteger, 26 Oct 2018And having an AI that can solve a rubik's cube an important... moreYeah! They should program it to do more things. Like maybe a calculator app, or a way to play flappy bird! Who would buy a device that only solves Rubik's Cubes and nothing else? Maybe even add a way to communicate with other people! Wouldn't that be a novelty!

              2 questions:
              1 - Does the ai unit require the 'boost' feature to fully utilize how quick the low quality 980 chip?
              2 - Would it be faster and more efficient with an SD845 running at full power all the time?

                  Okay, but it is possible to solve a Rubik's cube through a regular algorithm that does not necessarily require the use of any so-called artificial intelligence.

                          Huawei should make a free app that uses the phone's NPU to help us solve our own regular rubik's cubes.

                          Simply point the phone's camera to the cube, and the app shows us the right moves to make.

                          It would be a nice gimmickry feature & free advertisement for Huawei. :D

                            i can solve it faster

                              any cpu can do it,its not complicated than chess

                                Fake News. There are a hundred web sites that solve the Rubik's Cube with math; no AI required. So sick of EVERYTHING being called AI now..
