He revealed that GPT-6 has achieved zero-training deployment onto Unitree robots and can complete tasks such as autonomous drawing, playing chess, and finding kitchen tools. This year Unitree is conducting preliminary research on Physical AI Robot Self-Evolution V1.0, relying on stronger foundation models, multi-source data, more real-machine deployments, and skill ecosystem expansion to form a loop from perception to evolution. Unitree's new humanoid robot H2-X, released online yesterday, made its first appearance today; the company says its maximum battery life is about 8 hours; since its release in May 2024, the Unitree G1 has cumulatively rolled off the production line at about 10,000 to 20,000 units.

PHP Exposed Two 14-Year-Old Vulnerabilities, GPT-5.6 Sol Participated in Discovery
PHP has been found to contain two critical vulnerabilities rated 9.2, CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619. OpenAI confirmed that the security firm Calif used GPT-5.6 Sol to discover the related vulnerabilities, and Wiz Research also independently discovered and reported the issues. Vulnerability details leaked before the patch was released; an attack demonstration video mistakenly sent by the security firm Calif was circulated, and Chainguard released build images containing the fix ahead of time. The PHP Foundation stated that clues for CVE-2026-109618 first appeared in an external security audit in 2024, and that remediation was delayed due to costs such as compatibility and coordination with third-party extensions.

Wang Xingxing's Speech at Unitree's 10th Anniversary: Urging People to Believe in AI, the Embodied Intelligence Window Narrows to 1 to 2 Years
At the 2026 Unitree Technology World Physical AI Conference, founder Wang Xingxing used a 36-minute speech to urge people to believe in AI, saying that the information world has been completely breached by current model capabilities. He compressed the expected ChatGPT moment for embodied intelligence from the 2 to 3 years and 5 to 10 years he cited in August down to 1 to 2 years, and said that if things go fast, next year a robot will be able to tidy up an unfamiliar room on a single command. He mentioned that cumulative G1 units off the line reached about 10,000 to 20,000, that H2-X battery life increased from about 3 hours to about 8 hours, that Unitree will develop its own models while also cooperating with large-model companies at home and abroad, and that it ranks large-scale hardware manufacturing first, believing that widespread adoption requires at least an annual production of ten million units.
