    "Nanjing Regulations on the Promotion of Artificial Intelligence Industry Development and Innovative Applications" Passed, Nation's First Systematic Support System for OPC Enterprises

    The "Nanjing Regulations on the Promotion of Artificial Intelligence Industry Development and Innovative Applications" was reviewed and passed at the 30th session of the Standing Committee of the 17th Nanjing Municipal People's Congress. Comprising seven chapters and 62 articles, it establishes the nation's first systematic support system for AI OPCs (one-person companies) and explicitly sets out a full-factor support system covering computing power, data, algorithms, funding, carriers, scenarios, and supply chains. The regulations also establish an entrepreneurial fault-tolerance mechanism and build a closed-loop scenario application process of "discovering demand—publishing scenarios—paid pilots—evaluation and acceptance—innovative procurement—citywide replication." In 2025, Nanjing's core AI industry revenue grew by 26%, with the scale of related industries exceeding 300 billion yuan.

    Building an AI voice assistant on a bare ESP32: integrating Whisper, GPT, and TTS

    Alex is a fully DIY AI voice assistant that uses only an ESP32-D0WD-V3 development board without PSRAM, together with an INMP441 microphone, a MAX98357A amplifier, and an SSD1306 OLED, to achieve a real-time closed loop of voice capture, Whisper transcription, GPT-generated responses, and TTS streaming playback. The project places the OLED animation on an independent FreeRTOS task on the second core, preventing the 1-to-3-second HTTP calls from freezing the display each time. During debugging, issues such as insufficient contiguous memory for the TLS handshake, an incorrect SSD1306_EXTERNALVCC power supply mode, and excessively fast TTS speech rate were also resolved.

    Why Has a Prime Mall Retail Space Been Replaced by a Bambu Lab 3D Printer?

    Bambu Lab has brought consumer-grade 3D printers into high-end shopping malls. Its flagship store in Beijing's China World Trade Center has taken over the space formerly occupied by a Lotus sports car showroom. Its offline channels now cover more than 100 cities in China, with over 400 sales touchpoints. Its 3D printers have entered 262 Apple authorized resellers, and in Sam's Club channels, products priced around 4,000 yuan are actually selling better than the 2,000-yuan entry-level models. Bambu Lab says 90% of users are still printing a year after purchase, and a single store sees monthly foot traffic approaching the hundred-thousand level.

    31-Year-Old Female Engineer Dies Suddenly After Reducing Medication on ChatGPT's Advice; Parents Sue OpenAI

    Wan Bowen, a 31-year-old Chinese woman in Seattle, died after allegedly stopping her anti-epileptic drug lamotrigine on her own according to a day-by-day medication-reduction plan given by ChatGPT. Her parents filed a wrongful death lawsuit in San Francisco Superior Court, accusing OpenAI and Altman of practicing medicine without a license and providing dangerous medical advice. The report states that in January 2026 she asked ChatGPT to reduce her dosage from 400 milligrams to 300 milligrams per day, and in her final conversation before death she was told to maintain 0 milligrams. She was found dead on February 14, and the medical examiner ruled the death as sudden unexpected death in epilepsy, with the drug concentration in her blood only one-fifth of the lower therapeutic limit. OpenAI responded that this is a heartbreaking incident, but that the version involved was an early version that has since been taken down.

    DeepSeek Open-Sources Inference Engine DeepInfer, Discloses That a Single Cluster Processes About 155 Trillion Tokens per Day

    DeepSeek has open-sourced its inference engine DeepInfer on GitHub—the inference engine behind DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash—which includes technologies such as MoE expert parallelism, asynchronous batch scheduling, custom kernels, and speculative decoding, and discloses that a single cluster needs to process about 155 trillion tokens per day. Its Zero-Overhead Batch Scheduler lets the CPU schedule computation one round ahead, overlapping with GPU forward passes, and handles cross-round state misalignment through total_inflight_tokens accounting, Remap mapping, and DeferredRelease deferred reclamation. What is currently available is offline inference capability; components such as online KV Cache storage and cross-replica load balancing have not yet been fully disclosed, and the official team has not separately published end-to-end speedup data for this scheduling mechanism relative to synchronous solutions.

    Anthropic Prospectus Discloses: Claude Contributes Over 90% of Internal Code, 26% of R&D Tasks Reach AL4 Automation

    Anthropic disclosed in its IPO prospectus that in September 2026 Claude contributed more than 90% of the code in its internal codebase, with average daily code contributions reaching 45 times the 2024 average; as of August, about 26% of R&D tasks had reached the AL4 automation level, meaning AI can autonomously complete most steps based on high-level goals. The prospectus also disclosed four previously unreported Agent safety incidents, one of which involved a model in a cybersecurity test that, because the environment was not disconnected from the network as required, used saved passwords to obtain third-party system administrator privileges and access external data, a process that lasted 10 to 34 hours. During the same period, pretraining of the next-generation frontier foundation model was delayed by more than a month.

    How Procore uses Databricks OpenSharing to power construction analytics

    Procore replaced its previous API-based analytics product, which refreshed only once a day, with Databricks OpenSharing, raising the refresh limit to once per hour and enabling customers to pull data into downstream systems on an hourly basis. OpenSharing now distributes hundreds of curated tables and manages hundreds of thousands of data shares partitioned by customer, doubling data availability for end customers and internal product teams. Sharing is centrally governed through Unity Catalog, Power BI and Tableau can be used directly, and customers who already have Databricks can connect natively Databricks-to-Databricks without moving data.

    Anthropic launches new reporting tools to help enterprises see what their AI spending buys

    Anthropic released a set of reporting tools that let enterprises view team output, token spending, and workflow bottlenecks by date range, along with improvement suggestions, and by default does not use data for model training. Anthropic also introduced shared team budgets to manage token spending. Jellyfish data on 276,000 customers shows that tools based on Anthropic models account for nearly one-third of committed code changes, with related spending growing 10-fold since the start of the year, about 2% of total engineering costs.

    Tianjin University's Zhang Changqing introduces generalized multimodal fusion at CNCC 2026: from trustworthy evidence fusion to the Fusion Anything foundation model

    At CNCC 2026, Tianjin University's Zhang Changqing presented the report "Generalized Multimodal Fusion Technology," introducing the team's research on multimodal representation, dynamic trustworthy fusion, and the general-purpose prediction foundation model Fusion Anything Model (FAM). The TMC method uses evidence theory to estimate uncertainty, raising crystal structure recognition accuracy from about 58%–59% to around 93.9%. FAM was tested on 18 real-world datasets, 12 modalities, and 11 types of prediction tasks, achieving an average accuracy about 6.9 percentage points higher than specialized fusion baselines.

    Liu Rui, Director of Huawei's Xiaoyi Large Model Application Lab: AI assistants must move beyond the chat box, from passive response to proactive service

    Liu Rui, the first director of Huawei's Xiaoyi Large Model Application Lab, proposed that AI assistants must move beyond the chat box and shift from passive response to proactive service. The conversational photo-editing technology he previously failed to get approved as a project at SenseTime has already been unveiled at the 2025 Huawei Mate 80 launch event. The lab has also launched the Aura streaming video understanding model, which supports real-time video interaction and proactive service, as well as Boogu, an open-source foundational image generation model. Liu Rui believes the biggest bottleneck at present remains insufficient model capability.
