President Trump flew to Beijing, brought Jensen Huang along at the last minute, and left two days later, telling reporters that "something could happen" on chip exports. Nothing did. Not a single Nvidia H200 has shipped to China since Trump first authorised the sales in December 2025, and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told Bloomberg that semiconductor controls were not even on the bilateral agenda.
An experiment comparing AI-generated text with and without a voice profile shows that structural patterns—not just vocabulary or tone—define writing style. The profile-trained version opens with more personality and contrarian framing, demonstrating that voice is how you structure arguments.
Owlish turns your website, FAQs, docs, and PDFs into an AI customer support agent that answers common questions, cites sources, uses approved replies, and hands off to a human when needed. It helps businesses reduce repetitive support volume, reply faster outside business hours, and give support teams the context they need to resolve harder conversations.
The article discusses that AI-driven development is a spectrum with no one-size-fits-all solution. The author shares personal experiences, comparing the current AI tool boom to the editor customization wave of 2014-2018, and notes the overwhelming number of tools and workflows. They announce a series of posts on how to stay sane.
The inbox designed for humans and agents.
In the midst of the relentless acceleration of AI, the author attended the SIM Conference in Porto and discovered that in-person conversations with trusted peers provide clarity and concrete opportunities far beyond what the timeline offers. The article argues that while booths are useful for newcomers, the real value lies in serendipitous encounters and honest discussions away from screens. Speed without offline input is just circling; serious builders don't panic—they share real challenges and collaborate on actual problems.
The Economist is testing AI-readable content structures for marketing and B2B materials, while internally adopting a 'vibe coding' culture that uses AI to accelerate product development. The publisher is preparing for a two-track web, optimizing for both human readers and AI agents.
Kept is an open-source tool that automatically saves AI chats from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and Kimi as local Markdown files with full-text search, knowledge graph, and MCP server, no cloud required.
Standard Chartered has announced plans to cut over 7,000 jobs over the next four years as it increases its use of artificial intelligence. The bank aims to reduce back-office roles and shift some workers to new positions, becoming one of the first major global banks to cite AI as a driver for large-scale job cuts.
The article outlines three generations of AI applications: conversational (ChatGPT-era), delegative (agent-based with tool use), and collaborative (like Claude Design with shared workspaces). It details the evolution of human-AI interaction, engineering challenges for each, and how Ably's AI Transport and LiveObjects address issues of persistent connections and real-time shared state.
In 2026, enterprise agentic AI has moved from pilots to production. This guide ranks the top 10 platforms — Salesforce Agentforce, Microsoft Copilot Studio, ServiceNow, LangGraph, and more — with verified pricing, real adoption data, and honest constraints to help enterprise teams make the right platform decision.
Aiball is a local daemon that holds a shared backlog for Claude Code and you, enabling seamless task queuing and autonomous processing without interruption. It uses MCP and an SSE event bus for low-latency notifications, and stores all data locally with no telemetry.
Viberia is an isometric map-based AI agent harness where agents are grouped into customizable 'buildings' running in sequence or loops. It's a lightweight Tauri app with ~8x less energy consumption than competitors, currently macOS-only.

A quiet day before Google I/O lets us amplify a notable blogpost by Vlad Feinberg on job preparation for pretraining roles at frontier AI labs, alongside major model releases (Cursor Composer 2.5, Qwen3.7), local inference speedups via MTP in llama.cpp, and research on MoEs, RL, and agent evaluation.
Lawmakers propose amending Korea's AI law to require embedded watermarks on AI content and criminalize removal, with penalties up to two years in prison or 20 million won fine.
An AI world model called Agora-1 now powers a multiplayer first-person shooter without any game engine. Everything you see is generated in real time by the model.
Linus Torvalds discusses the problem of AI companies aggressively scraping websites, causing downtime, and introduces Anubis, a proof-of-work system to deter mass scraping while minimizing impact on legitimate users.
Moore Threads launches MT Lambda, China's first full-stack domestic embodied intelligence simulation platform. Integrating physics, rendering, and AI engines, it achieves a complete sim-to-real pipeline. A robot dog demonstration showed seamless transfer of training from simulation to the real world, marking a milestone for domestic GPU in physical AI infrastructure.
The so-called 'AI Cold War' is a meticulously crafted marketing narrative by Silicon Valley tech giants, designed to leverage the 'China threat' to evade regulation, secure government subsidies, and mask their own legal and financial troubles. The article contrasts US and Chinese AI development paths: the US pursues a 'god-like' AGI to rescue a bubble economy, while China treats AI as a practical tool to address a demographic crisis. It exposes logical contradictions and data manipulation in reports from companies like Anthropic, and warns against fear-driven policy decisions.
