    The General Office of the State Council issues the "Opinions on Adapting to the Development of Artificial Intelligence Technology and Helping to Build an Employment-Friendly Development Model"

    The General Office of the State Council issued the "Opinions on Adapting to the Development of Artificial Intelligence Technology and Helping to Build an Employment-Friendly Development Model", deploying 18 major tasks in 6 areas. The document proposes strengthening AI's employment creation effect, building an employment-friendly path for AI upgrading, and establishing an employment risk assessment mechanism for AI applications, requiring that for application scenario projects that may cause a relatively large employment impact, employment risk assessments be carried out simultaneously during review. The document also requires implementing a special AI training plan, improving the social security system for flexible employment and workers in new forms of employment, and improving the employment monitoring, early warning, and risk response system for AI applications.

    OpenAI plans to raise up to $30 billion, with a pre-money valuation of $1.25 trillion

    According to CNBC, OpenAI is about to complete a funding round of up to $30 billion, with a pre-money valuation of $1.25 trillion, co-led by UAE investors and Coatue, positioned as a bridge ahead of a potential IPO. OpenAI told investors the goal is to secure signatures before the end of next week, and the final size is still being determined. OpenAI confidentially submitted a prospectus to the SEC in June; CFO Sarah Friar told employees in August that the company would become a public company in 2027, while CEO Sam Altman said the following month that going public now is not a wise time.

    Axios says multiple major US banks have discovered unauthorized third-party AI Agents appearing in customer accounts

    Axios reported that U.S. banks such as Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Citi found unauthorized third-party AI Agents in customer accounts, some of which attempted to initiate operations on their own without user instructions. Morgan Stanley has blocked third-party Agent access interfaces, the others are tightening permissions to read-only status, and some banks are also preparing contingency plans for account freezes and fund backstops. Bank executives said it is difficult to distinguish human users from AI Agents, and difficult to determine whether an agent has obtained customer authorization.

    SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios. The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios. Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said. Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior.

    OpenAI lowers target valuation for about $30 billion funding to $1.25 trillion

    According to Bloomberg, OpenAI has lowered the target valuation for a funding round of about $30 billion to $1.25 trillion, $150 billion below the previous $1.4 trillion. Even after the cut, the valuation is still about 47% higher than the $852 billion (including newly injected funds) at the time of a $122 billion funding round in March. Coatue Management is in talks to co-lead the round, and OpenAI has also had contact with several UAE investment funds and BlackRock; the cut comes amid a tech stock selloff, with investors worried that AI spending has outpaced returns, after mixed earnings from Meta Platforms and Tesla.

    WSJ says OpenAI fired 3 safety researchers over Signal chat investigation

    According to a WSJ report, OpenAI fired 3 safety researchers after safety personnel discovered disappearing Signal chats between the 3 safety researchers and an outside safety researcher. The phone checks began with a September news report stating that OpenAI's latest model Astra uses a new approach that makes it smarter but writes down less of its thought process, so humans can see less of the reasoning. OpenAI treated the report as a leak of its secret model design and began tracing the source of the information; investigators listed Ryan Greenblatt, who had helped METR analyze logs from the July Hugging Face hack, as a suspected leaker, and he denies it.

    WSJ says U.S. public pensions are deeply reliant on AI stocks, while regulators are turning against them

    WSJ reports that since late 2022, 13 large U.S. public pensions have gained $138 billion in paper gains from AI stocks. These 15 stocks include hyperscale cloud providers and chipmakers, and in June accounted for 27% of these funds' U.S. domestic stocks, up from 12% when ChatGPT was released, contributing about 57% of U.S. equity returns, and excluding AI exposure in overseas stocks, private equity, or private debt. The report also cites cases such as New York pausing new data center construction, Pennsylvania's treasurer opposing data center expansion, and California unions demanding pension managers assess AI's impact on workers, noting that these regulators simultaneously oversee funds profiting from AI companies.

    Musk says superintelligent compute capacity will be in long-term shortage, SpaceX plans to expand compute to 13 gigawatts by end of 2027

    At SpaceX's Q3 2026 earnings call, Musk said superintelligent compute capacity will face a long-term shortage, with power, cooling and infrastructure constraining supply more than chips. SpaceX's superintelligence business revenue for the quarter was $7.56 billion, surpassing the connectivity business led by Starlink; compute scale rose from 0.6 gigawatts a year earlier to 1.7 gigawatts, with plans to reach 13 gigawatts by the end of 2027. Musk said paid weekly active users of Grok Bot reached 800,000 in early October, and the company also plans to build its own gas turbine blade casting and chip factories to ease bottlenecks.

    A PHP high-severity vulnerability triggers global panic; volunteer Ondřej Surý single-handedly completes the critical packaging work

    Two PHP remote code execution vulnerabilities with a CVSS score of 9.2 were disclosed; information leaked before the patch was released, and Cloudflare observed hundreds of thousands of attack attempts within two hours. Germany, Finland, France, Belgium and other countries took protective measures for public sector websites, and the U.S. CISA, the EU CERT-EU, and the UK NCSC issued urgent warnings in succession. Czech volunteer Ondřej Surý, through volunteer work, packaged the PHP source code into installable software packages, enabling millions of servers to be patched quickly; the donations he received in these 24 hours were roughly equal to those of the past year.

    Cloudflare acquires Rust-based TypeScript compiler tsrs

    Cloudflare and its acquired VoidZero announced they are taking over the open-source project tsrs, a TypeScript compiler rewritten in Rust that has been merged into the Oxc toolchain. Cloudflare claims that at the same thread count, tsrs type checking is up to 8 times faster than TypeScript 7.0 with about 70% less memory usage, while the project founder's own tests show 2.5 to 5 times faster with about one-third the memory. The current version 0.18 is still experimental, uses the Apache 2.0 license, provides native binaries for macOS ARM and Linux, and has no Windows version yet.
