    Google CEO Pichai says new computing power leasing demand in 2027 will be extremely difficult to meet, and the industry is entering a high-prosperity period worth hundreds of billions

    In a podcast interview, Google CEO Pichai said that even if customers now want computing power for 2027, it would be extremely difficult for Google to meet the demand, and that Google briefly leased external computing power last year to serve some customers. He also discussed agent commercialization, the Apple partnership and space data centers around the new model Gemini 4 Argon, and acknowledged that supply chain bottlenecks and macroeconomic shocks could lead to overbuilding. The article cites data from the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology saying the computing power leasing market is expected to exceed 260 billion yuan in 2026, while CITIC Securities, Shanxi Securities and Kailuan Securities gave assessments respectively on rising volume and prices, supply-demand mismatch, and the shift of business models toward Token revenue sharing.

    First AI Supercreator Plagiarism Dispute: Creator of "Trust Tracker" Accuses "Blood Oath" of Idea Appropriation

    AI supercreator Magic Xiaomi accused Angel on Douyin on October 14 of plagiarizing her work "Trust Tracker" in Angel's comic drama "Blood Oath." On October 16, she listed 13 sets of comparative evidence, and Angel publicly rebutted each point with 28 images and texts. The two sides each stick to their own account of whether they had access to each other's works. The article points out that both sides use AI models and agents to produce visuals and claim original scripts, and that the boundaries of originality among such supercreators are blank at both the judicial and moral levels; in early October 2026, the Heping District Court of Tianjin concluded the first case of adapting a written work into an AI comic drama, ruling that importing another person's complete written work into AI for secondary generation without authorization constitutes an act of adaptation.

Tesla also plans to raise its training compute to 400 megawatts by the end of the year.

    Canadian publisher Boréal ends partnership with novelist Thélyson Orélien over suspected AI writing

    Canadian publisher Les Éditions du Boréal has confirmed that novelist Thélyson Orélien used artificial intelligence while writing his novel C'était ça ou mourir, and announced that it is ending its partnership with him. The publisher said it collected all working versions of the novel and hired an outside party to analyze the drafts, and the results showed that AI markers were present in the metadata of some documents, though it said it was unclear to what extent AI was involved. The book had been slated for translation and publication in more than 20 countries; it was previously withdrawn from the French Prix Goncourt list after the AI detection tool Pangram gave a 100% probability judgment. Orélien denies that any sentences were machine-generated, saying he used AI only for historical research.

    DeepSeek reportedly raises about $15 billion, with CATL and Tencent as major investors

    Bloomberg reports that DeepSeek has completed a funding round of about $15 billion, one of the largest private financings in China. During negotiations, its funding target was raised at least twice, from about $7.5 billion to $12 billion; CATL and Tencent are the largest investors, with CATL reportedly contributing about $1.5 billion, twice that of the first round. Chinese media put the pre-money valuation at about $74.8 billion, unchanged even as the funding size doubled, meaning the new capital obtained a larger stake at the same price. Together with the first round of more than $7.5 billion completed in June, DeepSeek has raised a total of about $22.5 billion in roughly six months.

    WSJ Reports Musk Plans to Merge SpaceX and Tesla Around AI

    The Wall Street Journal reports that Musk wants to merge the $2 trillion rocket company SpaceX with the $1.5 trillion automaker Tesla around AI. SpaceX's AI business has become its largest business, with third-quarter revenue of $7.56 billion, up from $813 million in the same period last year; of the quarter's $19.6 billion in capital expenditure, more than $16.4 billion went to AI. This growth turned SpaceX's $1.05 billion loss in the quarter into a $4.4 billion profit, giving it the financial scale to absorb Tesla. The AI logic behind the merger is to use Tesla's robotaxi and Optimus robots as the front end, with SpaceX's data centers and satellite links as the infrastructure they depend on.

    The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and seven other departments have issued the "15th Five-Year Plan for Enhancing Industrial Foundation Capabilities," proposing to strengthen R&D deployment of general-purpose and industry-specific large models in the industrial foundation field, promote the integration of industrial mechanisms with agent decision models, and cultivate new business forms such as model-as-a-service and agent-as-a-service. The plan requires accelerating the implementation and application of artificial intelligence across all links including product R&D, design simulation, pilot testing, and production operations, and by 2030 bringing industrial foundation capabilities overall into the international advanced ranks. The plan also proposes forward-looking deployment in frontier fields such as quantum technology, biomanufacturing, hydrogen and nuclear fusion energy, brain-computer interfaces, embodied intelligence, and 6G.

    AWS says PHP2Shell vulnerability was exploited four days before patch release

    AWS research shows that at least one attacker began attempting to exploit two critical PHP vulnerabilities, PHP2Shell, as early as October 17, four days before the public fix on Wednesday. AWS Chief Information Security Officer CJ Moses said the attempt came from an IP associated with a commercial anonymization network, and it is not yet clear how the attacker obtained vulnerability information in advance. He noted that AI-assisted analysis has lowered the cost of turning a patch diff or advisory into a usable exploit, enabling more attackers to act within hours or even minutes after vulnerability details are made public.

    ora, together with Vercel, Stripe, Auth0, Mintlify, Tavily, Google, Elementor and MIT, has launched the AgentReady specification, open-sourced under the MIT license, which defines the extent to which websites must be built so that AI agents can find, understand and operate them. Its research team ran agents on real tasks more than 250,000 times; controlled experiments using 19 configurations and 190 probes in total found that only hiding answers in JavaScript and returning 403 to agents caused failures, while llms.txt, JSON-LD, sitemaps and Markdown mirrors did not change the results. The specification sets out MUST, SHOULD and MAY requirements across the three steps of find, read and operate, with the operate layer requiring at least one of an MCP server or a CLI.

So we partnered with the leading companies in the agentic web such as Vercel, Stripe, Auth0, Mintlify, Tavily and Elementor. Our research lab ran agents on real tasks more than 250,000 times to measure what actually decides whether an agent succeeds, and every requirement traces back to that data.
