AIFrancois Chollet says ARC-AGI-2 scores on Kaggle are now very good. The ARC Prize 2026 high score is 88.06%, set by Tufa Labs, and teams scoring over 85% share a $150K bonus prize.

AISyren Video, a new agentic video tool, learns preferred graphics, motion, and editing rhythm from a user's library and generates new videos from a prompt. Users refine the results through chat, and the tool is free to try in a browser or through Claude MCP, per the company's announcement. The post's author says the education sector is exploring it.

AISabi has raised $50 million from Khosla Ventures, Accel, Initialized, Kevin Weil, and DST Global to build a wearable brain-computer interface. The company says its TSMC-fabricated chip reads brain signals without touching the scalp, with custom sensors collecting data and its own AI model decoding it into text. The device is a cap rather than an implant.

AISabi has raised $50M from Khosla Ventures, Accel, Initialized, Kevin Weil, and DST Global to build a wearable brain-computer interface cap. The cap carries 100,000 sensors and aims to let people talk to AI agents by thinking. The post's author says improved hardware could unlock new research and personal agentic applications.

AISyren Video, a tool that learns from a library of existing videos, generates new videos matching their style, pacing, rhythm, and overall feeling. The post says this addresses a weakness of other models, which can only use one or two reference videos.

AISabi has raised $50 million from Khosla Ventures, Accel, Initialized, Kevin Weil, and DST Global to build what it calls the world's most wearable brain-computer interface cap. The company's announcement links to a Forbes article about the startup, which is backed by Vinod Khosla.

AITian Keyu, the Peking University PhD student known as the "ByteDance poisoning intern," has a 10-person world-model lab valued at $200 million after $30 million from Fivesource Capital and IDG, according to Leiphone. The lab plans to train a foundation model on about 100 million hours of video using a 200,000-symbol visual vocabulary, with a 2027 release targeted. Tian says the approach could cut the cost of generating one second of video by at least an order of magnitude.

AIAether AI, founded by UCSD assistant professor Biwei Huang, has released official demos of its CRIS-0 causal intelligence system for robots. In tests, the robot recovered from external disturbances in 9 of 10 random trials, typically within about 2 seconds, and stopped within 0.2 seconds when a human hand entered the workspace during a microwave-door task.

AIOpenBMB reports that its MiniCPM5-2B model runs at 37 tokens per second on an iPhone Air. The post presents this as evidence that small open multimodal models can run on mobile devices without a cloud GPU, with NobodyWho noting the model is available in its Chat app.

AIUnderdog has released Saluki 27B under Apache 2.0, a 2-bit GGUF of Qwen3.8-27B that fits in 7.89 GB, versus 54 GB for the full BF16 model. On Underdog Bench, Saluki scores 88 against 84 for the full model, and it raises parallel tool-call accuracy to 42 from 35. It runs on stock llama.cpp, but math and reasoning drop sharply, with AIME 2025 at 79.2 versus 96.7.

AIThe vLLM Semantic Router team has released Decision 2.0, which answers multiple questions about one input in a single forward pass and outputs per-option probabilities. The post presents this as useful for routing and classification. A quoted post from Xunzhuo Liu says Decision 2.0 includes six open decision models ranging from 0.6B to 27B parameters, each topping same-size open models on the Jev Decision Index 0.3.

AIGeekPark reports that Krinwave, a Shenzhen company, has completed a new 400 million yuan round with XVC and Sequoia China as new investors. The company says its low-frequency ultrasound captures brain structures through the skull, which conventional high-frequency devices cannot, and it aims to supply hardware and its kOS software platform to brain-computer interface and NeuroAI groups.

AISharpa launched D01, a fully self-developed humanoid robot with electronic skin covering the whole body and tactile coverage of the upper body, sensing forces from 0.1 to 20N at 100Hz. It also unveiled the W02 dexterous hand, which has 21 active degrees of freedom, about 30% smaller than the W01, and the AE01 exoskeleton data glove with 22 encoders for teleoperation and data collection.

AIopenJiuwen, an open-source AI Agent platform built by Huawei teams with universities and enterprises, released and open-sourced an enterprise-grade AgentOS. It integrates multi-agent collaboration, self-evolution, compute affinity, multi-tenant isolation and security sandboxing, and a plugin architecture with the Agentic Hub ecosystem.

AIThreatBook has acquired CyberStrikeAI, an open-source AI pentesting agent, after reports that attackers had used it in real intrusions. The company says it added guardrails to limit misuse but will put new capability enhancements into its commercial edition, and it argues defenders should control such tools. It also corrects an earlier threat intelligence report that linked the developer, a security engineer at Alipay, to government agencies, calling that attribution a false positive.

AIOpenClaw says it has added many new features and quality-of-life improvements over the past few months. A video covers new models, multiplayer, interactive dashboards, memory and skills, meetings and voice, and easier Mac setup. It also previews plans for the coming months.

AIMicbot says a procurement dispute with a Zhejiang customer over four wheeled-quadruped robots has been settled through negotiation, after reports of late P2 deliveries, a balance fault in a Curiosity S01 and a disagreement over secondary-development rights. The buyer, which ordered two P2 units for 580,000 yuan and later two S01 units at 160,000 yuan each, had refused research-only terms for software access. Micbot's October 6 statement said it supports customer secondary development but requires clear authorization and protection of core technology.

AINaive AI, a Tsinghua-linked company founded seven months ago, has raised $400 million across three rounds at a post-money valuation of $1.42 billion.
