    Amazon Q3 Earnings: AWS Growth of 39.3% Misses Buy-Side Expectations, Advertising Growth Plummets to 12%

    In the third quarter, Amazon's AWS revenue reached $45.984 billion, with year-over-year growth rising to 39.3%, slightly beating the Wall Street consensus of 38% but falling short of the buy-side threshold of over 42%; advertising business growth plunged from 26% to 12%, far below the 18% expectation, dragging the stock down 7% in after-hours trading. CEO Andy Jassy expects AWS to achieve growth of over 40% in both 2027 and 2028, and is expected to reach a scale of $1 trillion within five to ten years, while also planning to sell Trainium chips to customers outside AWS starting at the end of 2027. Jefferies and Goldman Sachs still maintain Buy ratings, with target prices of $330 and $375, respectively.

    Alphabet and Amazon Earnings Under Pressure as Market Stops Rewarding AI Spending

    Alphabet and Amazon released disappointing quarterly reports in succession this week, and both companies are still maintaining a combined capital expenditure plan of more than $400 billion for the full year. Alphabet's search advertising growth slowed to 12%, the lowest in five quarters, with its stock falling more than 11% in a single day and about $500 billion in market value wiped out; Amazon's free cash flow for the quarter was -$33.5 billion, more than four times the negative figure expected by the market. A Goldman Sachs trader pointed out that the market is shifting from rewarding capital expenditure growth to demanding evidence of returns.

    NVIDIA and MIT teams' Open-H3-Regenerate-2K, an open-source video enhancement solution based on MiniMax H3…

    The Efficient-Large-Model team, composed of researchers from NVIDIA and MIT, has released the model weights for the video enhancement project Open-H3-Regenerate-2K on Hugging Face, with the accompanying inference code now available in the NVlabs/Sana repository. Based on MiniMax H3, the solution regenerates low-resolution video drafts into high-resolution video, supports 2K output at 2560×1440, and can achieve native 4K regeneration at up to 3840×2160. The team kept the H3 Transformer backbone and video VAE parameters unchanged, training only the newly added refinement LoRA; at inference time it is merged with community adapters such as LightX2V FL2VA Turbo and LMS Sharp, regenerating image details through three-step denoising. On a single NVIDIA B200 GPU, the combined time for latent-space upscaling, three-step refinement, and 2K decoding of an approximately 5-second video dropped from 87.26 seconds to 22.45 seconds, about 3.9 times faster than before; on RefinerBench-150, UniPercept averaged 60.0, compared with 53.4 for the official H3-Regenerate-2K API.

    Axel Scheffler, illustrator of "The Gruffalo," considers suing AI companies

    Axel Scheffler, illustrator of "The Gruffalo," said he has contacted German lawyers and is seriously assessing whether to file a lawsuit over AI reproducing his characters and style, but has not yet disclosed the name of the company he plans to sue. He believes EU regulations are friendlier to creators, and is therefore considering suing in Germany; lawyer Nick Buckland noted that Germany already has a precedent in which a music copyright collective management organization won its case, but generative AI defends itself on the grounds that it trains on works rather than directly copying them, so proving the case remains difficult. OpenAI has already been sued in Germany by Penguin Random House and illustrator Ingo Siegner, and the Munich Regional Court will rule in spring 2027.

    Zhiyuan's Yao Maoqing Says General Large Models Struggle with Physical Operations; Embodied Foundation Models Will Move Toward Layered Architecture

    Yao Maoqing, co-founder of Zhiyuan, said in an interview with Securities Times that general large models have obvious shortcomings in physical robot operations, and future systems will move toward a layered architecture: general large models handle high-level long-horizon planning, world models and VLA output mid-level skills, and the low level is handled by a 100–1000Hz high-frequency motor real-time control layer. He pointed out that a general large model may need 1–2 hours to complete a physical operation and consume a large number of tokens, and that in real-world tests its success rate on tasks involving highly dynamic motion and force/tactile feedback is almost zero. At the 2026 Zhiyuan Innovation Day, Zhiyuan released its new-generation embodied foundation model GO-3 Preview, which adopts the WRAM native architecture and is planned for full open source by the end of 2026; on 100 tasks across 20 skill categories, the model's average zero-shot success rate rose from 13.4% to 56.4%.

    Zhiyuan's Peng Zhihui: 10,000 Humanoid Robots Rolling Off the Line Is Only a Manufacturing Victory; 10,000 Robots Truly "On the Job" Is the Victory of Physical AI

    Peng Zhihui, co-founder, president and CTO of Zhiyuan, said at the 2026 Zhiyuan Innovation Day that 10,000 humanoid robots rolling off the production line is only a victory for manufacturing, and that 10,000 robots truly "on the job" is the victory of physical AI. Zhiyuan also released a measurement unit, Worken (effective intelligent work hours), to measure the actual output of robots autonomously and continuously completing valuable work, and hopes to bill by Worken work hours in the future. Peng Zhihui divided the development of physical AI into five stages, believing that Zhiyuan has passed the first stage and is moving toward deployment in vertical-domain scenarios, while the home is the endpoint rather than the starting point.

    UBS's Fang Jincong: Market Overprices AI Spending Burden, Underestimates Potential Upside Opportunities

    Fang Jincong, Head of China Internet Research at UBS, pointed out that the current market has overpriced the burden of AI spending while underestimating potential upside opportunities. He believes that hyperscale cloud vendors will invest about one year of core cash flow into infrastructure, while application-driven platforms invest through R&D expenses and are more flexible; valuation discussions should distinguish between temporary investments, recurring participation costs, and permanent business changes. Three structural changes—capital, efficiency, and ecosystem—will shape the landscape of the AI era, benefiting leading internet platforms with ample capital, full-stack capabilities, and mature customer touchpoints.

    Early-stage financing logic in hot sectors is being restructured: angel rounds start at the hundred-million level, two rounds run in parallel, and pricing is based on the endgame

    A Huxiu article points out that angel rounds for top projects in hot sectors generally start at the hundred-million level, with cases such as Moqi Intelligence's over 1 billion yuan, Yuyong Technology's $220 million, and Huihuo Intelligence's over $200 million setting new records. Star projects start their next round before the previous one has closed, due diligence is compressed, and pricing has shifted from fundamentals to a reverse-engineered valuation benchmarked against the sector's endgame. However, the median size of a single early-stage financing deal in Q3 was only 20 million yuan; ordinary projects still face financing difficulties, and signs of a flat-round correction have already appeared, with an angel-round valuation of 2 billion yuan and a Series A of only 1.8 billion yuan.

The post by Thariq that was cited talks about how, when using coding agents, one can fall into a kind of manic state: feeling like you're working efficiently all the time while not actually making real progress, which he believes is often an avoidance of other things in life.

    There’s 100% a kind of mania you can get into with coding agents, where it feels like you’re getting a lot done and working all the time but nothing is really happening. I think it's often a form of avoidance of something else in life.
