    Cloudflare Discloses GLM-5.3 Cross-Tenant Session Leak Affecting 155 Responses

    On October 26, 2026, Cloudflare published an incident report disclosing that GLM-5.3 on Workers AI had a cross-request KV cache leak, in which data from other customers' sessions was mixed into the responses to 155 extremely long prompts. The prompts of the affected requests all exceeded 681,280 tokens; the cause was a mismatch between the 1,048,576-token context window and a prefill KV pool of only 681,280 tokens, compounded by a flaw in SGLang's handling of extremely long requests in disaggregated prefill/decode mode, which caused clients to receive HTTP 200 instead of 400. Cloudflare completed the fix and restored the model on September 9, and the relevant fixes have been merged into SGLang v0.5.20 through v0.5.22; the official recommendation is to upgrade to v0.5.22 or later.

    Chinese tech stocks see sharp correction; AI stocks account for 40% of market value, dragging the broader market down as $2.4 trillion evaporates

    Amid concerns over AI prospects, the STAR 50 index, which tracks Shanghai technology and innovation companies, has fallen 40% since June, and Chinese stock markets have lost $2.4 trillion in market value since May. Goldman Sachs data shows that AI stocks account for more than 40% of the market value of mainland China and Hong Kong stock markets, and Unitree Robotics' share price has halved since its August listing. Analysts attribute the sell-off to corporate profits falling short of expectations, US interest rate hikes, weak domestic demand, and the threat of US restrictions on Chinese robot and data center components.

    Microsoft sends voluntary departure offers to about 60,000 employees, with departures on December 31

    Microsoft has sent voluntary departure offers to about 60,000 employees at level 70 and below in the United States, Canada, India, and the United Kingdom, accounting for 27% of its 223,000 employees worldwide. Decisions are made in the first week of December, with departures on December 31. Compensation is a lump-sum payment of 8 to 39 weeks' wages, but because these are voluntary departures, recipients cannot claim unemployment benefits. This is Microsoft's third round of layoffs this year. In April, the first buyout was aimed at employees whose age plus years of service was ≥70; 8,750 Americans were eligible, and 30% took voluntary departure. In July, there were 4,800 routine layoffs. The original text mentions that Microsoft's capital expenditure this year was $115.9 billion, up 79.6% year on year, accounting for 35% of revenue, while revenue per employee rose from $1.235 million to $1.488 million.

    OpenAI announces three breakthroughs by its model in mathematics, computer science, and physics

    OpenAI announced that its AI model has achieved three breakthroughs in the fields of mathematics, computer science, and physics, claiming that the model can independently discover and prove complex scientific theories. The mathematics and computer science results have been formally verified through Lean, and the proof materials and natural-language proofs have been uploaded to a public GitHub repository; the physics result is being reviewed by experts including Nobel laureates in physics. In mathematics, the model provided a proof of the local smoothing conjecture in all dimensions, and thereby solved the Kakeya conjecture and the Stein restriction conjecture in all dimensions; in computer science, the model provided a proof that the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH) is false. OpenAI stated that the relevant results still require further independent confirmation by the academic community.

    OpenAI announces three discoveries in mathematics, computer science, and physics, and brings in external experts to vet them

    OpenAI announced three "major" discoveries in mathematics, computer science, and physics. In computer science, it claims to have proven that ETH (the Exponential Time Hypothesis), long widely believed to be true, is in fact false, and the related AI output and Lean proof have been published on GitHub. The physics result has not yet been fully disclosed; OpenAI describes it as a rigorous existence proof for an interacting quantum field theory in four dimensions containing gauge fields and fermions, covering a unified completion of QCD and the Standard Model, and says David Gross and others will lead the vetting. In mathematics, its model produced a proof of the local smoothness conjecture in arbitrary dimensions, and thereby resolved the Kakeya conjecture and the Stein restriction conjecture in all dimensions; OpenAI also published an open letter soliciting opinions on how to test these conclusions.

    Anthropic Files IPO Prospectus; US Media Say Its Listing Will Test the Entire AI Industry

    Anthropic has filed its IPO prospectus, disclosing rapid revenue growth and plans to invest up to $807 billion over the next decade in data centers, chips, and cloud computing. The prospectus does not include third-quarter results; the company told investors this month that third-quarter revenue was $16.8 billion, up 45% quarter-over-quarter, below the 141% quarter-over-quarter growth rate in the second quarter. US media believe this listing will, for the first time, give the outside world a look at the operating conditions of the key companies underpinning the AI boom, and will test whether demand behind the massive investments in chips, data centers, and other areas can be sustained.

    OpenAI announces three mathematics and physics results, inviting external experts to lead interpretation

    OpenAI announced three scientific results, concerning respectively a local smoothing conjecture in harmonic analysis, the refutation of the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH), and a proof of the existence of a four-dimensional quantum field theory containing gauge fields and fermions, among which the mathematics and physics results have been formalized in Lean. Regarding the release strategy, the computer science and physics results were interpreted by teams organized under the leadership of external experts, while the mathematics results were released directly as AI output for researchers to interpret themselves; OpenAI says it does not yet know which approach is most useful. The physics working group is led by David Gross, and the computer science working group is responsible for verification by Russell Impagliazzo, Ramamohan Paturi, and Ryan Williams; OpenAI also put forward four principles: transparency, not seeking academic credit, acknowledging contributions, and independence.
