AIStar Motion Era's VPP2, a world action model, ranked first on the RoboDojo simulation leaderboard with a 32.26% average success rate and 39.26 average score. The article attributes gains to staged training that separates video prediction from action learning, and reports a 58.5% zero-shot success rate on a real ALOHA dual-arm robot versus 40% for π0.5. The code is open source on GitHub.

AIXPENG has named its robotaxi business XPENG YOYO and launched a ride-hailing mini program that lets invited members of the public test the service. The company says its first production robotaxi, based on the flagship GX model, rolled off the line in May 2026, and it has completed more than 2,000 internal test rides in Guangzhou. XPENG says YOYO uses four in-house Turing AI chips delivering 3,000 TOPS, a second-generation VLA model, and a vision-based approach without high-definition maps or LiDAR.

AIAnthropic has paused the Claude Team plan and $1,000 API credit offers for its Claude Startups program after underestimating demand, with hundreds of thousands of applicants. Claimed offers will remain in accounts, but some approved applicants who had not yet claimed their offers will lose access as applications are re-reviewed. Startup Stack and Applied AI office hours remain available to accepted members.

AIOpenAI's most senior Asia-Pacific public policy executive is leaving after six months in the role, according to a person familiar with the matter. The departure comes as the ChatGPT maker faces regulatory scrutiny in the region.

AIByteDance Seed researchers found that language models compressing their KV cache in fixed-size chunks retrieve the same information unevenly depending on token position. In a 128K-token needle-in-a-haystack test, base DeepSeek-V4 checkpoints differed by up to 40.2 percentage points by phase, and post-training narrowed but did not eliminate the gaps. The authors urge evaluating such models across positional phases, since high average accuracy can hide systematic failures.

AIHuawei has opened its DevEco Studio for HarmonyOS PCs to public beta, alongside first public betas of the AI tool DevEco Code and the agent toolkit DevEco CLI. The beta requires HarmonyOS 7.0.0.107 or later, at least 16 GB of memory and 100 GB of storage, and runs on several MateBook models and the MatePad Edge. DevEco Code ships with Zhipu AI's GLM-5.3 and GLM-5.1 models and supports third-party model connections.

AITencent Hunyuan, with Fudan and Tsinghua researchers, released ExplorationBench, a benchmark testing how AI systems explore through verifiable "Alien Worlds" with executable rules that conflict with familiar knowledge. Across 10 frontier systems, feedback mattered most: the best AlienCode run reached 89.0% after four rounds of probing, versus 0.5–11.0% without feedback. Answers are graded by an interpreter or proof checker rather than an LLM judge.

AICoreWeave is layering managed services over its infrastructure to address AI inference bottlenecks, including a preview capability called CoreWeave RL Rollouts that improved model reload latency by 15x versus a baseline configuration in testing. The capability is built on Nvidia's Dynamo framework, and the features are packaged into CoreWeave Forge, a platform that is free to start with paid tiers offering additional capabilities.

AIOpenAI expects to reach or exceed $70 billion in annualized revenue by the end of 2026, according to people familiar with the matter. The growth is driven largely by its enterprise business.

AITeknium called a Hermes Desktop demo "pretty sick" after Jonathan Bylos reported that Hermes Agent produced an intelligent UI embed during a design discussion without being asked. Bylos said the feature has been running in Hermes Desktop for a few days.

AIOpenAI published 719 AI-generated math proofs covering 372 result families, after withdrawing 3 for a symbol error. Reports say the release falls short of the AGMAI advisory group's standards, since it uses proprietary models, includes reasoning chains for only 10 manuscripts, and leaves about 42% unformalized. Terence Tao argues that rapidly solving famous problems harms the mathematical community's understanding and collaboration.

AIGoogle Cloud introduced the Gemini agent, a general office agent that can search, write emails, build slides, analyze data, run code, and coordinate sub-agents. It can take on an enterprise identity with email, calendar, and account, and it selects underlying models automatically, including Anthropic's Claude. The article presents this alongside OpenAI's Dots and Meta's Muse as competing office and personal agents.

AIJeremy Howard says Jasmine Wang accessed an executive's email that OpenAI had given her access to, despite her request that the access be removed and IT's failure to remove it. He implies she was fired because of that IT failure, not misconduct on her part.

AISnyk moved its internal support agent, Snyk Assist, into the core Snyk product in September 2026, giving every paying customer access. Built on LangChain and LangGraph with observability in LangSmith, the agent answers questions in plain language and can open support cases or log feature requests. It runs as a single agent behind Slack, web and API surfaces, with tools attached per user permissions.

AIAnthropic has barred users from exhibiting "sustained and needless abusive or cruel behavior" toward its models, according to a policy change first reported by The Verge. The San Francisco-based company says the ban does not apply to common user frustrations, model testing, or "dark creative themes." The change follows an August feature that lets Claude end conversations when a user is persistently harmful, which Anthropic framed as a safeguard for AI welfare.

AIAustralian AI data center operator Firmus, backed by Nvidia, has withdrawn its planned initial public offering, citing market volatility and conditions. Its board concluded the proposed terms did not adequately reflect the company's business strength and long-term growth outlook. Firmus said it will now pursue private market capital and consider other public and private options.
