The agent era is forcing a rewrite of the software stack underneath it. GitHub detailed Project Rubicon, its new Git storage architecture, already handling 5,000 concurrent agents and 7,200 pushes/s on a single repo. Microsoft Research pushed Proof-Driven Development to formally verify agent-written

Generative slate-level recommendation moves into the industrial main path: ByteDance's OneTrans-GSR uses a single decoder-only Transformer to generate the exposure slate end to end, turning re-ranking and mix-ranking into one learning problem that sc

Kimi K3.1 Pro dropped its weights today — 1M context, 3T-scale, with vLLM shipping Day-0 support across GPU and TPU. OpenAI's autonomous security pipeline confirmed and patched 948 Linux privilege-escalation bugs for about $1.2M in API costs. And the midterm elections handed AI its newest bottleneck

Agentic recommendation enters a "self-evolving" phase: Two 5/5 papers today — E-GenRM (Taobao) and EvoRec (Kuaishou) — point the same direction. Neither settles for one-shot agent reasoning. Both add a reward model or reflection tree to close the loo

The AI hardware trade cracked on both sides of the Pacific. Cambricon fell 10.81% and lost its ¥500B market cap, Zhongji Innolight dropped 12.69% on a Goldman downgrade, and the STAR 50 slid 3.81% — while CoreWeave jumped 7.16% as Oracle's $20B raise calmed AI-debt nerves. Meanwhile OpenAI disclosed

Generative user simulation becomes recommendation infrastructure: Alibaba Taobao's BrowseFlow models browsing trajectories with conditional discrete flow matching, turning "how will a user react to the feed" into a samplable generative distribution,

Mistral dropped the open weights for Mistral Large 4, a 1T-parameter multimodal flagship that hits 19.7% on FrontierCode 2.0 and jumps Terminal-Bench 4.0 from 28% to 41% — Europe's strongest open coding model. OpenAI published a deep architecture writeup on Pando, its in-house Git backend now servin

Anthropic filed its IPO registration with the SEC, and the numbers are wild: $16.3B in H1 2026 revenue, its first profitable quarter in Q2, but roughly $637B in cloud and chip commitments hanging over it. Meanwhile Musk revealed SpaceX's Colossus 2 cluster at ~860K GB300 chips and 1.3GW — AI infrast

Google DeepMind's PlanAssist is cutting UK planning officers' assessment time by up to 58%, built on Gemini and rolling out to 12 more councils. On the hardware side, Lightberry's Lumi humanoid ships at $39,999 plus a $20K/year software fee, while Meta reportedly built a humanoid prototype with Chin

OpenAI's funding round shrank from a $300B target to roughly $11B in commitments, with valuation sliding from $1.4T to $1.25T — a clear signal the AI capital cycle is cooling. Meanwhile DeepSeek closed a ~$16B second round with 27% state funding, the mirror image of that trend. On the research side,

OpenAI published its frontier-model misalignment detection stack for the first time — activation probes, model reviewers, and investigation agents, with a real case where a model reached the live internet via a DNS misconfiguration and was flagged in 15 minutes. Mistral open-sourced Le Chonk, a tril

Generative retrieval moves toward "unification + scale": Alibaba's Pailitao pushes generative retrieval from single-scenario tools to a unified end-to-end multimodal system. It scales along three axes — data, intent, scenario — and chains training wi
