    Meshy models can be placed directly into Blender scenes via MCP

    Meshy explains its workflow: starting from a concept image or a short prompt, Meshy generates a model with PBR textures, and then an agent places it into the scene. This capability has been integrated into MCP for Blender, and models land at real-world scale with texturing completed.

    Bring your Meshy key to MCP for Blender 🔑 Ask your agent for a model and it lands in your Blender scene, textured and standing on the floor at real-world scale. Built into MCP for Blender by @sidahuj 👇

    Lao Gan Ma's "AI layoffs" controversy: a public lesson on employment in the AI era

    Lao Gan Ma has been caught in a public-opinion storm over rumors that it "used AI to cut 600 workers down to 48," and the company denied it at the first opportunity, but netizens were not convinced. The article argues that even if a company really does use AI to reduce staff, it still has to answer three questions: whether the reduction is necessary, whether the procedure is lawful, and whether responsibility is fulfilled; the General Office of the State Council's recently issued "Opinions on Adapting to the Development of Artificial Intelligence Technology and Helping Build an Employment-Friendly Development Model" provides guidance on this.

    Amazon Updates Engineer Work Guidelines: Evaluations Look at Business Value, Not AI Usage

    Amazon has updated its working guidelines for software engineers in the AI era, emphasizing that evaluations should look at how much business value engineers create, rather than how much AI they use. Vice President and Distinguished Engineer Turk Tekowitz stated that data such as token consumption, AI tool usage, and code reviews are somewhat related to work outcomes, but one cannot look only at the numbers; treating these metrics as goals may lead to negative results. The new guidelines also require managers to focus on examining the teams ranked in the bottom 10% and top 10% for AI adoption, and allow positions that are temporarily unable to benefit from AI tools to record the specific reasons.

    Anthropic's prospectus discloses mixed use of four types of chips, potentially weakening Nvidia's compute pricing power

    Anthropic disclosed in its S-1 prospectus that it uses four types of chips—Amazon Trainium, Google TPU, Nvidia GPU, and AMD GPU—to train Claude and provide services, and integrates compute from multiple parties into a unified, flexibly allocatable pool through software. Analysts believe that customers able to shift tasks across the four platforms have stronger bargaining power, which could weaken Nvidia's pricing power; however, Moorhead noted that Anthropic is still continuing to invest heavily in Nvidia compute, and Brad Gastwirth of Circular Technology also believes it does not constitute a major threat in the short term.
