Chinese AI models are competitive with US counterparts, but hardware lags. While domestic chips are used for inference, pre-training still relies on foreign silicon. China is pushing for self-sufficiency in AI hardware across all development stages.
China's Norinco showcased a model of its drone manufacturing process at the Eurosatory exhibition in Paris. The display included a miniature assembly line for drones like the BZK-005E, which is reportedly used in Mauritania and Sudan.
Zhipu's parent company, Knowledge Atlas Technology, saw shares jump 48% as JPMorgan and Bank of America raised ratings and price targets, citing Zhipu's ability to meet global AI demand amid US restrictions on foreign access to advanced models. Zhipu's open-source GLM-5.2 release contrasts with US curbs, positioning China for the value-for-money AI segment.
AI firm Anthropic has sent senior technical staff to Washington to meet with White House officials to resolve a dispute over national security concerns that led to restrictions on its advanced AI models, Mythos 5 and Fable 5.
The U.S. government has ordered AI company Anthropic to immediately shut down access to its powerful Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 models, citing national security concerns. Anthropic complied but disagrees with the decision, arguing the identified security flaw is narrow and already present in other models.
Anthropic apologized and reversed its decision to secretly degrade AI model performance for users suspected of building competing AI. Flagged requests will now visibly reroute to a less capable model, addressing reproducibility concerns in the AI research community.
AI startup Decart has launched Oasis 3, an interactive world model capable of generating photorealistic driving environments in real time via API. The company aims to foster a developer ecosystem, similar to OpenAI's approach with language models, and targets autonomous vehicle companies and robotics applications.
Tencent's Chief AI Scientist Yao Shunyu argues the AI race is in its early stages, with vast opportunities in coding agents, embodied intelligence, and multimodal AI, despite current setbacks.
Meta's developer tools for its new AI model, Muse Spark, are facing delays, with no concrete schedule set for release. This postponement raises concerns about Meta's monetization plans for the closed-source model, which aims to compete with leading AI models.
Chinese AI model DeepSeek is seeing increased adoption by US firms looking for cheaper alternatives to OpenAI and Anthropic, according to a report by Ramp. US companies are directly paying DeepSeek, indicating data exchange with China-hosted servers.
