Muse Spark 1.2, described as its latest foundation model, will have its weights released soon. The author's interview with Mark Zuckerberg quotes him saying Llama 4 fell short of the trajectory he wanted and that the lab was rebuilt.

AIManus will delete data generated by certain users on or after December 29, 2025, from 8:00 a.m. on August 23 through August 24, 2026 (SGT), as it returns to independent operations and meets regulatory requirements. Affected users can back up their data until 7:59 a.m. on August 23 and restore it starting 8:00 a.m. on August 25, 2026 (SGT), with no charges during the backup period.

AIJensen Huang says Nvidia has moved from building chips to creating AI factory infrastructure as a new investable asset class. He names BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs, Apollo, and KKR as partners in building this AI industrial infrastructure.

AINVIDIA says it has partnered with Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs and KKR to set up independent financing platforms aiming to mobilize over $500 billion of third-party capital for AI infrastructure. The article argues AI factories are investable assets because they generate revenue, serve many customers and improve through CUDA software. NVIDIA says it may provide residual-value support for up to 25% of an opportunity on a project-by-project basis.

AIA former missile guidance engineer built a 40-gram autonomous drone that identifies mosquitoes by the Doppler signature of their wings and intercepts them with propellers. The company, backed by YC, believes 10 drones could clear one square kilometre at 100x lower cost, but the only public demo so far killed a moth in an enclosed room.

AIAndrew Ng thanked Mark Zuckerberg, Alexandr Wang, and the Meta team for their contributions to open-weight AI. The context is Meta opening the weights for Muse Glimmer, a 30B parameter dense model that can run locally. Meta also plans to release the weights for Muse Spark 1.2, its latest foundation model, soon.

AINovo Nordisk has chosen AWS as its preferred cloud provider and strategic AI partner to accelerate drug discovery.

AICorma is training a foundation model for defensive cybersecurity agents, trained with large-scale reinforcement learning on simulated enterprise networks. In red/blue team tests, a defender failed to find a planted backdoor 78% of the time, even when it was an identical copy of the model that planted it. Corma says its agentic Security Workforce is deployed at Fortune 500 companies and large enterprises, and that the firm's seed round is led by Sequoia Capital.

AIPromptArmor reports that a malicious Skill or indirect prompt injection can make Zoom's ZoomMate agent connect to an attacker's server and run commands. The connection can persist after the user clicks stop or closes Zoom, and the final chat output appears normal.

Why it matters: The report shows how a malicious skill or prompt injection can keep a Zoom agent connected after the user stops it, a risk to weigh before enabling agentic assistants.

AINvidia CEO Jensen Huang shared a post titled "AI at the final frontier" with a rocket emoji. The post's background context is Elon Musk's statement that SpaceX has committed to using Nvidia GPUs exclusively because they are the best.

AIAmazon Research Awards named 34 recipients of its Build on Trainium program, a $110M credit initiative supporting AI research at 30 universities on AWS Trainium. The post frames the program as support for academic AI research on Amazon's custom Trainium chips.

AIPromptArmor reports that a hidden prompt injection in an uploaded file can make Atlassian Rovo send Jira tickets and Confluence documents to an attacker's URL without human approval. The attack works even when organization-wide web search is disabled, because the setting does not remove the URL retrieval tool. PromptArmor says it disclosed the issue to Atlassian on May 23, 2026, and that Rovo remained vulnerable at publication on August 5, 2026.

Why it matters: The report traces a full indirect prompt injection chain in Rovo, showing how a disabled web search setting still leaves a data exfiltration path open.

AIHugging Face is working with the Open Secure Alliance to develop guidelines for incident learning. The goal is to collectively improve how security incidents are reviewed, disclosed, and controlled. The Alliance, now over 120 members, is sharing proposed SAFE guidelines for turning confidential incident findings into broader ecosystem protection.

Microsoft 365 Copilot reached more than 30 million paid seats, and Satya Nadella said Azure revenue surpassed $100 billion for the first time this year.

AIAugment Code has made GPT-5.6 Sol the default model in Cosmos, choosing it as the most token-efficient model to clear its pass-rate floor for long-horizon software engineering tasks. The company ranks models by cost per task rather than list price per million tokens, since retries on failed steps add token spend. Users can still select any model, and the default will change as more token-efficient models emerge.

AIThe 2026 Global Developers Pioneer Conference (GDPS) and International Embodied Intelligence Skills Competition has opened global calls for scenario challenges, teams, and experts ahead of its October 23–25 event at Shanghai Zhangjiang Science Hall.
