With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, general large models (GLMs) have become a significant research focus in the AI field. GLMs typically possess an extensive number of parameters, are trained on massive datasets and exhibit robust learning and reasoning capabilities. These models demonstrate outstanding performance in various tasks, including natural language processing, image recognition, and code generation. This paper reviews the evolution of GLMs and the key technology nodes, from the early rule-based systems and traditional machine learning models to the rise of deep learning, the introduction of the Transformer architecture, and the advancements in the GPT series and other GLMS over the world. Despite the significant progress, GLMs face numerous challenges, such as high computational resource demands, data bias, ethical issues, and model interpretability and transparency. This paper analyzes these challenges and explores five key future development directions for GLMs: model optimization, multimodal learning, emotionally intelligent models, data and knowledge dual-driven models, and ethical and societal impacts. By adopting these strategies, GLMs are expected to achieve broader and deeper applications, driving continuous progress in AI technology.

Dynamic disease risk prediction models are essential for precision prevention strategies. Over the last twenty years, there has been a surge in research focused on these models for precision prevention. However, widely used models（static models） often overlook the impact of changes in predictors over time on disease risk, leading to inevitable calibration drift. This paper reviewed modeling methods for dynamic risk prediction models and provided reference for their development. The conclusions are as follows: As healthcare big data becomes more interconnected and shared, and new methods of statistics and artificial intelligence emerge, the challenge lies in discovering richer predictors, in identifying more accurate modes of action, and in creating interpretable disease risk prediction models which align with biomedical contexts and practical scenarios, to enhance common prevention of common diseases and co-prevention of heterogeneous diseases and to achieve precision and personalized prevention across a spectrum of diseases. This will be a crucial focus for future research on predictive modeling methodologies.

With the development and utilization of renewable energy, lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries has been regarded as one of the most important energy storage technologies by virtue of their high energy density, long cycle life and low self-discharge. However, the frequent occurrence of fire or explosion caused by thermal runaway of lithium-ion batteries makes it urgent to improve their safety performance. Because of the battery external abuse, Li-ion batteries thermal runaway occurs, resulting in the growth of lithium dendrites inside the battery which will cause short circuits, electrode decomposition and gas precipitation, flammable electrolyte decomposition, leading to combustion and explosion.
