On September 12, during Tosda’s global open day event, the company officially launched its first wheeled humanoid robot, marking an important step in the field of domestic embodied intelligence. This robot is equipped with the Zhipu AIlarge model, aimed at addressing long-standing industry pain points such as slow debugging and difficult adaptation in flexible production. This initiative not only enriches the AI robotproduct line but also provides new ideas for the intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry. Zhipu AI Empowerment: The Technological Support Behind the Robot The most striking feature of this wheeled humanoid robot is its incorporation of the…
Good Morning! In the latest shake-up since President Trump’s takeover of the Kennedy Center, two more key staffers have been laid off. Canadian artist Armand Vaillancourt is demanding San Francisco officials cease and desist from deaccessioning and potentially destroying the 1971 city fountain that bears his name. Two Nazi-looted still life paintings by 17th-century Dutch artist Abrosius Bosschaert are believed to have surfaced from an abandoned safety deposit box. The Headlines MORE KENNEDY CENTER CUTS. The Kennedy Center has fired the head of its jazz programming, as well as the last member of its social impact team, reports the Washington Post. Kevin Struthers, senior…
The emergence of long-context language models with context windows extending to millions of tokens has created new opportunities for sophisticated code understanding and software development evaluation. We propose LoCoBench, a comprehensive benchmark specifically designed to evaluate long-context LLMs in realistic, complex software development scenarios. Unlike existing code evaluation benchmarks that focus on single-function completion or short-context tasks, LoCoBench addresses the critical evaluation gap for long-context capabilities that require understanding entire codebases, reasoning across multiple files, and maintaining architectural consistency across large-scale software systems. Our benchmark provides 8,000 evaluation scenarios systematically generated across 10 programming languages, with context lengths spanning 10K…
This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) just lit up the tape, surging over 7% in Hong Kong after a flurry of AI-driven moves repositioned the tech giant at the center of China’s machine-learning arms race.

AI-powered search platforms are growing fast, but still account for less than 1% of referral traffic, according to new data from enterprise SEO platform BrightEdge. By the numbers. From January to August, AI-driven search referrals accounted for less than 1% of traffic. Organic search remains the primary driver of conversions across industries. AI search usage is still growing fast – with some platforms showing triple-digit month-over-month gains – but traffic isn’t translating into transactions. Why we care. There’s been a lot of pressure to chase shiny new AI platforms. However, these numbers highlight the massive difference between hype and impact.…
In a study published in Nature Chemistry, the team demonstrated a solid-state electrolyte that breaks down in simple organic solvents, causing the battery to come apart for easier recovery of components. The material belongs to a class of molecules known as aramid amphiphiles (AAs), which “that self-assemble in water” and mimic the chemical stability of Kevlar.Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) modified the AAs with polyethylene glycol to conduct lithium ions. In water, the molecules self-assemble into nanoribbons with robust, Kevlar-like backbones and ion-conducting surfaces. Hot-pressing these nanoribbons yields a solid-state electrolyte that is mechanically stable.Tests showed the…
(Image source: Nuclearn) US-based Nuclearn, an AI platform designed specifically for nuclear operations, has raised $10.5m in Series A funding to accelerate product development and market expansion. The round was led by Blue Bear Capital, with participation from SJF Ventures and follow-on investments from existing investors AZ-VC and Nucleation Capital. The new funding will be used to advance development of Nuclearn’s domain-specific AI solutions, expanding features that support operations, engineering, and regulatory compliance. Nuclearn’s platform, which is deployed in more than 65 reactors globally, combines advanced AI with deep nuclear domain knowledge to automate complex workflows that typically require weeks…
A few years ago, I began advising a startup developing physical infrastructure for smart cities, with an AI layer on top. I vividly recall conversations with investors who told me, “We don’t touch anything hardware related.” They said it was too slow, too capital-intensive, too risky. Fast-forward to today, that same company has rolled out its solution across dozens of U.S. cities and now employs hundreds of people. The very hardware once deemed “too heavy” has become the immovable foundation of its market leadership. And yet this isn’t an isolated story. Some of the most valuable companies in the world…
