Meta and Fourier developed the humanoid robot prototype Max in three months of collaboration

The Information, citing people familiar with the matter, reported that Meta has collaborated with the Shanghai robotics company Fourier to develop, in just three months, a humanoid robot prototype internally codenamed Max, approximately 1.5 meters tall and about 48 kilograms in weight, with a computing platform equipped with NVIDIA Jetson Thor. The two parties, building on Fourier's hardware accumulated over its first three generations, adjusted the body proportions, head structure, and cameras, and added a robotic hand and shoe structures; in September they also launched the Max 2 project, planning to redesign the torso, strengthen the robotic hand's manipulation, and add sensors to support going up and down stairs. Meta stated that the collaboration mainly focuses on internal research and experimentation, and that there are currently no plans to sell these prototypes.

White House National Economic Council Director Hassett responds to AI stock sell-off: the industry has ample cash, and there is no risk of a broad sell-off

White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, responding to the recent plunge in technology stocks, said that this adjustment does not mean the AI industry faces the risk of a broad sell-off, and that capital within the industry ecosystem remains ample. He acknowledged that some companies may carry huge debts that warrant attention, but said that financially strong companies in the industry hold equity and debt in the relevant companies and can step in to acquire them or provide funding support when enterprises run into trouble. The article also points out that AI industry financing is increasingly reliant on debt, with AI-related debt issuance expected to exceed $600 billion by 2026, about 10 times that of 2024, and that yields on some data center- and chip manufacturing-related bonds and loans have risen to double digits.

Investors suggest Anthropic set IPO valuation at $1.5 trillion to $1.6 trillion

People familiar with the matter said institutional investors planning to participate in Anthropic's IPO have told the company and its advisers that the valuation should be set at around $1.5 trillion to $1.6 trillion, far below the nearly $2 trillion previously rumored in the market. Investors' concerns include heightened market volatility, overly concentrated investment in the AI sector, political resistance to data center construction, and uncertainty over when hyperscalers such as Amazon and Meta will realize AI profits. Anthropic disclosed in an updated filing that revenue for the three months ended September 30 was $17 billion, up from $11.6 billion in the previous quarter, but it recorded an operating loss of $567 million in the quarter, after posting its first operating profit of $974 million in the prior quarter.

Altman Previews Next-Generation GPT: 10,000 Agents Collaborate to Crack the Navier–Stokes Problem

At the ADIPEC 2026 energy conference in Abu Dhabi, Sam Altman disclosed that the Navier–Stokes mathematical breakthrough previously announced by OpenAI was accomplished by 10,000 Agents driven by the upcoming next-generation GPT, which worked collaboratively for about 4 consecutive days with no hierarchy and no unified leader. OpenAI said the experiment started on September 1, with the Agent scale eventually reaching about 10,000; in about 88 hours they exchanged 2.7 million messages and generated about 130 billion Tokens, after which GPT-6 Astra used 17 hours to complete the formalization and verification through Lean. Altman said the research cost about $10 million, and he expects it could be redone at about one percent of the cost by September 2027, but he did not disclose the model name or release date of the next-generation GPT.

Beijing News investigation: AI used to mass-forge celebrity family members for product sales of Wuhai powder

A Beijing News Shell Finance investigation found that a batch of AI-generated videos on social platforms, in which people claim to be Feng Gong's ex-wife, Liu Huan's partner Lu Lu, or Zhao Lirong's son Sheng Fuchun, are actually promoting Huangjing Wuhai powder. The product's factory price is about 5 to 6 yuan per box, while the sales links price it at about 30 yuan. One account operator said that after paying 998 yuan to join, the team teaches members to mass-generate AI videos, and claimed that working part-time for half a month earned more than 1,800 yuan, with commissions reaching 68%. Lawyers said consumers can assert their rights by naming the AI video producers, operators, product suppliers and platforms as co-defendants.

OpenAI launches Grid Protectors program, data centers reduce power when the grid is overloaded

OpenAI says its future data centers will reduce electricity use when the local grid is overloaded, with the first project landing in Georgia under a program called Grid Protectors. Under the first agreement, Georgia Power can cut up to 1,000MW from OpenAI's planned Effingham County campus during peak demand periods such as heat waves, and the company estimates this amount of power could serve the daily electricity needs of about 700,000 households. Even at the maximum reduction, the data center will still consume about 2,200MW, because the reduction covers only 1,000MW of its roughly 3,200MW demand. OpenAI believes large, stable customers help spread the fixed costs of power lines.

Anthropic Updates Prospectus: Admits It Previously Failed to Timely Identify AI R&D Acceleration, and Bans Claude from Fully Autonomously Designing Next-Generation Models

Anthropic submitted an updated prospectus (S-1/A) to the U.S. SEC, changing the first version's "may be unable to identify before R&D significantly accelerates" to "has previously failed to identify," acknowledging that AI R&D acceleration has already genuinely occurred internally. The filing discloses that by September of this year, more than 90% of code in the internal codebase was generated by Claude, the average daily code commits per engineer rose from 35 times the 2024 average to more than 45 times, and internal spending on calling Claude, at public list prices, grew more than 250-fold from January to September. Page 188 explicitly states that Claude will not be allowed to fully autonomously design and build next-generation frontier models without human oversight, and that it is considering requiring key decisions to be reviewed and signed off by humans.

WSJ: Large investors want Anthropic IPO priced at $1.5 trillion to $1.6 trillion

WSJ reports that large investors want Anthropic's IPO priced at $1.5 trillion to $1.6 trillion, below the nearly $2 trillion discussed in previous months. The revised prospectus shows that Anthropic's third-quarter revenue rose from $1.16 billion to $1.7 billion, but spending grew faster, with an operating profit of $974 million turning into an operating loss, mainly due to higher costs for $5 billion in compute purchased under short-term terms. Its total long-term commitments amount to about $895.4 billion, almost all for compute and infrastructure, of which $447.5 billion is expected to be spent before 2031.

42AI launches with a $62.5 million seed round, using behavioral world models to predict trader decisions

Israeli AI startup 42AI has launched with a $62.5 million seed round to build what it calls behavioral world models, with its first customers being brokerages that want to anticipate how traders will act during market volatility. Its software converts personal characteristics into mathematical representations, and a Transformer-based world model calculates the probabilities of various choices, while a separate language model explains the basis for the predictions; brokerages can see which instruments, in which direction, and in what quantity a client is likely to trade over the next 24 hours. The company says it already works with ten large brokerages, has reached seven-figure revenue, and says one brokerage gained about $30 million in additional value through dynamic hedging, with its 98% accuracy rate measuring whether trading flow falls within the predicted range.
