    Amazon, Intel, and Alphabet earnings miss expectations, global tech stocks fall collectively

    Earnings from Amazon, Intel, and Alphabet successively missed expectations, triggering a collective slump in global tech stocks. Nasdaq 100 index futures extended losses to 2%, and South Korea's KOSPI index fell 4.5% and triggered the SIDECAR mechanism to suspend program selling. Intel plunged 23% after hours, Amazon fell about 7.3% after hours, and Alphabet tumbled 13% in the previous trading session, its largest single-day drop. Market attention is focused on capital expenditures: Amazon's third-quarter spending on equipment and property exceeded $77 billion, and free cash flow over the past 12 months was negative $42.4 billion. CEO Andy Jassy said capital expenditures will increase significantly in 2027.

    Iluvatar CoreX Tianyao 300 Benchmarked Against H200: Training Throughput Reaches 1.33x That of H100

    Iluvatar CoreX held its first live demonstration of the Tianyao 300 at a media open day on October 28, claiming that in comparative tests on large language models such as GLM-5.3 as well as text-to-image and text-to-video scenarios, it outperformed the H200 overall. On the training side, in an 8-GPU full-system FP8-precision demonstration based on Qwen3-32B, the Tianyao 300 achieved per-GPU effective throughput 1.33 times that of the H100. The Tianyao 300 was unveiled at this year's World Artificial Intelligence Conference in July, features 144GB of memory, and its IXL144 supernode integrates 144 GPUs with roughly 10.1TB of memory in a single standard rack, reducing the cost per million effective tokens by about 40% compared with mainstream international solutions.

    Google Shuts Down AI Coding Agent Jules, Folds Lessons into Antigravity

    Google will gradually shut down Jules, the AI coding agent launched in December 2024, and fold the lessons accumulated from the tool into its AI coding platform Antigravity. According to Jules' official X account, Jules began as an experiment exploring how asynchronous coding agents could help developers ship faster, and its lessons have already influenced multiple Google products. The integrated direction is to let users both autonomously execute background tasks in remote environments and use an agent-centric development environment.

    Zhiyuan's revenue in the first half of 2026 was nearly 2 billion yuan; Peng Zhihui proposes five leaps of physical AI

    Zhiyuan co-founder, president and CTO Peng Zhihui revealed at the 2026 Zhiyuan Innovation Day launch event that in the first half of this year, cumulative off-line output of Zhiyuan general-purpose AI robots reached 20,000 units, revenue approached 2 billion yuan, and the company captured a 43% share of the global humanoid robot market. Peng Zhihui also released the physical AI value metric Worken (effective intelligent work hours), with a formula of the number of active robots × autonomous working hours × output efficiency ratio, which has already been deployed in scenarios such as visitor services in Chengdu's Kuanzhai Alley, loading and unloading on Longqi production lines, and subway security-check guidance. He also proposed that physical AI will undergo five leaps from usable to general-purpose, from a usable body, deployment in segmented scenarios, a generalized embodied foundation model, and swarm intelligence, ultimately moving toward intelligence self-bootstrapping.

    Zhiyuan's Peng Zhihui: Physical AI Still in Early Stage, Proposes Worken Effective Intelligent Work-Hour Framework

    At the 2026 Zhiyuan Innovation Day, Peng Zhihui, co-founder, president and CTO of Zhiyuan, said that physical AI is still in an early stage; Zhiyuan has passed the first stage of possessing a stable, low-cost robot body and is advancing the second stage of deployment in vertical segmented scenarios. He proposed the Worken (effective intelligent work-hour) measurement framework, with the formula: number of active robots × autonomous working hours × output efficiency ratio, hoping to bill by work-hours in the future. In the first half of 2026, Zhiyuan's revenue was close to 2 billion yuan and it delivered 9,700 robots; in September, its cumulative output of general-purpose AI robots reached 20,000 units.

    US investigates Chinese espionage targeting Nvidia CEO

    According to The New York Times, citing anonymous sources, an executive at Singapore-based AI cloud company Megaspeed, Alice Huang (Huang Le), who is accused of illegally selling Nvidia chips to China, may also be a Chinese spy. US intelligence agencies have surveilled her for about a year, focusing on whether her close relationship with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was used to obtain information about Nvidia's shipment plans to China. An Nvidia spokesperson denied this claim to TechCrunch, saying that Jensen Huang's interactions with the executive were no different from those with other regional customers, and that regional cloud customers only receive ordinary commercial information, not sensitive trade secrets or national security information. In 2025, The New York Times reported that the US Department of Commerce had opened an investigation into Megaspeed for helping Chinese companies circumvent AI chip export controls.

    US Media Exposes Pentagon Security Incident: Banned Claude Agent Ran on US Military Network for Two Months

    Wired reported that an Accenture employee handed login credentials to a Claude agent, giving it administrator privileges and allowing it to run for about two months on the US Department of Defense's unclassified network NIPRNet, during which it allegedly sent credentials, passwords, and network structure information to third-party websites flagged as high-risk by NIST. Claude is currently banned for use by Department of Defense personnel; Accenture denies the allegations are valid and says an independent investigation found the claims to be unfounded, while the Pentagon declined to comment on network conditions. The report found no evidence that hackers entered classified systems, but experts worry that the leaked credentials could be used to plant backdoors in test environments.
