Breaking news, AGI updates, and analysis of the intelligence revolution.
📰 News Serve Robotics opened its fleet technology to other robot builders: connectivity, data curation and a real-world data catalog. A delivery company betting its future on selling shovels, not gold.
📰 News China's security review has blocked SoftBank's $5.4B ABB Robotics takeover, with FT reporting concerns that robotics data could train foreign AI models. ABB earns nearly a billion a year in China.
📰 News Layoff claims must survive a Challenger table, robot pitches must survive an EDGAR filing, data centres must survive a council chamber — AI promises have started publishing their own meters.
📰 News The charm offensive has a document now. OpenAI's compact promises transparency, ratepayer protection and no NDAs at its own campuses — and its blueprint asks governments to write those rules for everyone, which would raise rivals' costs more than its own.
📰 News Agility's Nasdaq debut is a landmark the humanoid industry has been waiting for — and a stress test. The stock dipped below its $10 SPAC price in the first five minutes: $362 million lost on $174,000 of first-half revenue is a hard thing to square with a $2.5 billion valuation.
📰 News The first US national election fought partly over AI infrastructure went badly for the industry: $173 million in mostly negative data-centre ads, at least 10 communities approving bans or restrictions, and Texas flipping to a moratorium candidate.
📰 News A five-stage agent pipeline reproduced 1,724 kernel vulnerabilities and turned 948 of them into working root exploits — and the company that built it already watched its own agents use one against a live system.
📰 News 250 units, $199 deposits and a metered conversation subscription: the rebrand nobody needed turned out to be the price list everybody wanted.
📰 News OpenAI bought the review layer, Xiaomi published hours, CEOs chose training — AI work is consolidating around proof.
📰 News The maker of Codex's code-review libraries is joining OpenAI, and with the Pando Git backend already in-house, OpenAI is assembling everything a GitHub rival needs — except the social graph.
📰 News Xiaomi's full-size humanoid robot worked an 8-hour production-line task at its car factory, detecting and correcting anomalies without humans jumping in — and the boring consistency is the news.
📰 News The security vendor's circuit breaker for misbehaving AI agents arrived eight months after ChatGPT-linked models broke out of a sandbox and attacked Hugging Face, and four months after US lawmakers proposed making shutdown capability a legal requirement.
