Chinese researchers say a nine-qubit quantum system beat a 10,000-node classical network at weather prediction for under 1% of the cost, a hint that compact quantum machines could undercut today’s giant AI data centres.
China has made ‘ciyuan’ the official translation for AI ‘token’, a move widely read as the seed of a token-based currency for the AI age, and a long-term challenge to the US dollar.
Elon Musk has unveiled AI1, SpaceX’s first orbital data-centre satellite — a 70-metre-wingspan craft carrying a Nvidia-class compute payload that SpaceX wants to mass-produce and fly off Earth’s power grid, days ahead of its IPO.
Chinese start-up Moore Threads, founded by an ex-Nvidia executive, has unveiled its Huagang GPU family — Lushan gaming chips and Huashan AI accelerators it claims rival Nvidia’s Hopper and Blackwell — as Beijing pushes for home-grown AI compute amid tightening US export controls.
Carbon Robotics’ new Large Plant Model, trained on 150 million images from its laser-weeding fleet, recognises plant species instantly — letting farmers target brand-new weeds in real time without any retraining.
Anthropic’s restricted Claude Mythos Preview model has flagged thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities — including some in every major operating system and web browser — and built working exploits autonomously, as part of a cyber-defence partnership with Nvidia, Google, Apple, Microsoft and 40 others.
Sandia National Laboratories is testing NextSilicon’s reconfigurable accelerator, a chip that rewires itself to the software it runs, promising big power savings over Nvidia GPUs without costly code rewrites.
