    DeepSeek plans to raise about 100 billion yuan in a new funding round, with Tencent and CATL as the main investors

    According to a report by Shanghai Securities News, market sources say DeepSeek plans to raise about 100 billion yuan (about 15 billion US dollars) in its latest funding round, with Tencent and CATL as the largest investors in this round, and the deal is expected to be officially completed within the next few days. Sources said the fundraising target was initially 50 billion yuan, then raised through multiple rounds to about 100 billion yuan; it has not yet been officially announced, and the final amount is still not fully determined. The funds will continue to be used for model training, computing power construction, and talent recruitment, and some sources believe this funding round will pave the way for the company's planned IPO on the STAR Market.

    Meta Reopens Sharing After Fixing Muse Share Link Issue

    Meta has reopened Muse's sharing feature after security researchers pointed out that public Muse conversation links were easy to find. Claroc researchers reported this week that the URLs of shared Muse conversations were named after the conversation titles and written into public DNS, which they used to find a marketing company's internal revenue assessments and a small business owner's loan application. Meta's David Singleton said on X that the underlying issue has been fixed, and that the problem lay in the URLs of shared artifacts rather than in chat sharing itself; artifacts shared before the fix have been given new links, and visiting old links now prompts users to ask the sharer for a new link.

    Legal experts say Meta's revised terms may still allow scraping of news websites

    Meta revised its terms for business accounts, removing language about using scraped content to "train" products, but legal experts believe the changes are still insufficient to restrict its scraping of news websites. Cornell Law School professor James Grimmelmann noted that the phrase "related to your product or service" in the terms could still allow Meta to scrape an entire website; lawyer Matt Topic said the scope of "develop" in "develop any commercial product" is broad enough to cover "training." Meta spokesperson Daniel Roberts responded that content owners can express their preferences via robots.txt, that this update was not aimed at scraping news websites, and that it does not grant Meta new rights beyond those preferences.

    OpenAI Nears Completion of Up to $30 Billion Funding Round at a $1.25 Trillion Valuation

    OpenAI is nearing completion of a funding round of up to $30 billion at a valuation of $1.25 trillion, led by UAE investors and Coatue, with the valuation excluding the newly raised funds. The round is positioned as an opportunistic bridge ahead of a potential IPO, and OpenAI is also in talks with the UAE to secure more computing power. The company confidentially filed its prospectus with the SEC in June, and CFO Sarah Friar has said OpenAI will become a public company in 2027.

    Anthropic, OpenAI, and Musk's charitable donations exceed the Gates Foundation by more than three times

    The combined charitable donation pledges of Anthropic, OpenAI, and Musk have exceeded the Gates Foundation by more than three times, but the three have adopted different models: a corporate fund, a nonprofit foundation, and directly distributing shares to children. About 20% of Anthropic's shares are set aside for public benefit, comparable in scale to the OpenAI Foundation, and its co-founders have each pledged to donate 80% of their equity. Musk plans to distribute 1 share of SpaceX stock to each of approximately 72 million American children.

    SpaceX and Tesla Form Special Committee to Discuss Merger

    SpaceX and Tesla have formed a special committee to discuss a merger. On SpaceX's earnings call, Musk said a merger of the two companies would have "many benefits," citing the rationale of collaborating on superintelligent software. SpaceX's third-quarter AI-related revenue reached $7.56 billion, of which Cursor contributed $608 million, most of it from renting out compute to Anthropic and Google; Tesla's profit fell for a second consecutive quarter over the same period. The article also examines the merger's impact on Musk's voting rights, compensation milestones, and the shareholder litigation environment.

    Meta's Muse agent surpasses 10 million users; Zuckerberg says it will charge merchants per transaction

    Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said on the October 21 earnings call that since its launch on September 8, more than 10 million users in Canada and the United States have created Muse agents, a quarter of whom use it daily; the most common use case is shopping, with an average spend of over $200 per transaction. Because first-week transaction volume exceeded expectations, Meta worked with Stripe to raise its credit limit. Zuckerberg said Meta plans to charge merchants when Muse facilitates a transaction, while consumer use will be free unless they need more tokens or more advanced models; Meta is also working with Shopify, Walmart and others to develop the Personal Agent Protocol.

    Former OpenAI science lead founds Warp Sciences, raising $215 million to build robotic drug lab

    Former OpenAI science lead Wei Er and three co-founders founded Warp Sciences, raising $215 million and planning to establish a chemistry contract research organization in the United States to provide molecule synthesis and testing services for drug discovery teams. In its first phase, the company will focus on synthesizing analogs for lead compound optimization; clients decide which molecules to study and retain control of their drug programs, and Warp will not develop its own drug pipeline. To train the robots, chemistry researchers will wear camera equipment and sensor gloves to demonstrate and record experimental operations, and the data from each round of experiments will then be used to improve the AI models and subsequent experimental protocols.

    Anthropic Donates Agent Skills Standard to Agentic AI Foundation

    Anthropic announced that it is donating the Agent Skills standard to the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) under the Linux Foundation, in order to keep it open, community-driven, and vendor-neutral.

Simon Willison noted that he had predicted this development last December, and used the MCP plugin on simonwillison.net to retrieve that prediction of his from that time.

Zuckerberg said that due to compute costs it has not yet launched globally, and that the company plans to improve compute cost-effectiveness by 10 times next year; Meta plans to spend $135 billion to $145 billion in 2026.

    Major US banks including Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan restrict AI agents from logging into customer accounts

    Major US banks including Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan, Bank of America and Wells Fargo are restricting external AI agents from accessing customer accounts, because such agents log in using credentials provided by customers, violating bank policies that require account holders to log in themselves. Morgan Stanley has completely banned AI agents, and JPMorgan, Bank of America and Citi are taking the same approach; Morgan Stanley said it has not yet found any "rogue AI agents" on its platform. Most banks want to limit agents to read-only access, and say customers have demand for the service but the current security risks are too high; many banks also cannot determine whether an agent is acting on behalf of the user or accessing the account on its own.
