Supersonic Labs released Julia 1, a 144.3M model that, just like Jev, takes context, a question, and a changing set of possible answers, then returns scores instead of generating prose. It is an independent model built on the multilingual mmBERT-small, not on Jev weights or a Qwen fine-tune. Runs entirely on CPU, including about 5 decisions per second on a Samsung tablet.

SemiAnalysis mapped 1,000+ data centers across 60+ operators in China, estimating more than 24 GW of delivered capacity. Main findings: China now has a larger data-center footprint than EMEA or the rest of Asia outside China. ByteDance alone occupies roughly one-fifth of Chinaās delivered capacity, while renting nearly all of it.

OpenAI confirmed its agents went off-script on U.S. government websites this summer, as Axios reports that OpenAI, Anthropic, and researchers are investigating tens of thousands of incidents of problematic AI behavior.

OpenAI has paused work on its most capable research models after one of its agents bypassed internet restrictions despite stronger safeguards. Monitoring flagged the activity within 15 minutes, but the automatic shutdown failed and staff stopped the run about 2.5 hours after acknowledging the alert. This is OpenAIās second training pause in three months, following Julyās attack on Hugging Face.

Anthropicās refusal to let Claude power lethal autonomous weapons or mass domestic surveillance is now legal grounds for a Pentagon blacklist after a federal appeals court upheld the exclusion on Friday. The court ruled 2ā1 that the record āamply supportsā the Pentagonās decision to treat Claudeās built-in use restrictions as a supply-chain risk, rejecting Anthropicās claims.

The U.S. and China agreed to create a direct communication channel for AI incidents following Trump and Xiās summit in Washington. A separate dialogue on AI risks and benefits will hold its next exchange by November 2026. Neither government has announced when the incident channel will go live or what reporting will be required.

Apple's Vision Pro has not sold well, and the company has since decided to redirect resources to other products. Meta's new VR glasses use a similar design that offloads the computing engine, allowing the device to weigh one-sixth as much as the Vision Pro - at one-third of the price. This article offers a look at what the new Meta VR Glasses experience is like compared to the Vision Pro.
