    Communities Across the U.S. Oppose Data Center Construction, Adding Uncertainty to Midterm Elections

    Twenty U.S. communities will vote on pausing or banning local data center construction, 13 of which are located in Republican-dominated districts. A POLITICO poll shows that 36% of Republican voters and 65% of Democratic voters oppose building data centers within 3 miles of their homes. Oracle's $165 billion Jupiter project in New Mexico faces delays, and an executive order in New York State pausing environmental permit approvals for large facilities has already delayed nearly 1GW of data center construction.

    South Korea's exports approach $1 trillion, with the AI memory chip boom as the biggest driver

    South Korea's exports are approaching the $1 trillion mark, with semiconductors as the biggest driver. In October, semiconductor exports reached $56.44 billion, up 259.4% year-on-year, accounting for 49% of total exports that month. Amid the AI infrastructure construction boom, demand from data centers for advanced memory products has risen, and Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix have continued to benefit; over the same period, computer equipment exports grew 496.6% year-on-year. However, the semiconductor boom has not fully transmitted to South Korea's domestic economy: third-quarter retail sales fell 0.5% year-on-year, and SMEs face weak sales and operating pressure.

    AI backlash enters the ballot box: about 20 communities vote on data center bans, OpenAI plans to rename them "AI compute campuses"

    The U.S. midterm elections have pushed data centers onto the ballot, with about 20 communities voting on banning or pausing new data center construction, and OpenAI is reportedly preparing to rebrand data centers as "AI compute campuses" after the election. Democrats are expected to flip the House, with some candidates advocating a federal freeze on new data centers; OpenAI policy chief Chris Lehane called the debate "a manifestation of democracy," and the company hopes state legislation will give local residents a say over new projects.

    Behind 145 camera feeds sits AI, scoring the CIIE kitchens in real time

    The "Food Safety AI Doctor" independently developed by the Shanghai market regulation authorities was fully upgraded ahead of the 9th China International Import Expo. The AI inspector has been connected to 145 surveillance camera feeds, scoring in real time the kitchens of 55 catering units and 4 group meal supply enterprises within the venue, and handling them by classification into low, medium and high risk levels. The system closely monitors more than 30 operational details across three major aspects—environmental hygiene, process hygiene and personnel hygiene—and its initial recognition accuracy has risen to 90.5%. Regulators can also take photos with the "snap and verify" function on their phones, and the AI automatically picks out problems.

    The Download: The arrival of the agentic web, and efforts to make roads safer

    MIT Tech Review's The Download notes that AI agents are making Tim Berners-Lee's vision of an "internet navigated by autonomous software agents" a reality; this new era is called the agentic web, and agents can already organize inboxes, buy groceries, and even access bank accounts. More than 1 million people die in traffic accidents worldwide each year, and some cities are advancing road safety by investing in public transit, extending curbs, and using cameras to identify dangerous road sections. This issue also mentions that a $1 trillion tech stock selloff has deepened concerns about an AI bubble, and that OpenAI has lowered its fundraising target by $10 billion.

    Stop Counting Tokens, Start Counting Deliverables: HPE on How to Measure AI Coding Costs

    HPE proposes replacing token consumption with "cost per merged PR" to measure AI coding investment, and says its hybrid AI platform cut token costs by 30% to 50% after routing routine workloads from more than 150 internal applications to locally hosted open-weight models. The article notes that a single agentic coding task can consume 10 to 50 times the tokens of an ordinary chat prompt, that Uber reportedly exhausted its entire 2026 AI budget in April, and that GitHub Copilot has also shifted from flat-rate pricing to usage-based billing. HPE recommends leaving difficult planning to frontier models, handing repetitive work such as code generation and testing to self-hosted open-weight models, and tracking both cost per active developer and cost per merged PR.

    Li Jiaqi Sells Alibaba Cloud Tokens in Double 11 Livestream, 300,000 Units Sold Out

    Li Jiaqi began selling Alibaba Cloud Tokens in his Double 11 livestream, and 300,000 units sold out that night, with Alibaba's 1992-born vice president Chen Yusen personally appearing on stage with Qwen Office. The author believes this marks compute power moving from the developer back end and enterprise annual framework agreements to a mass consumer product, helping ordinary users develop the mindset of paying for a single invocation. Their judgment is that future competition will no longer be about parameter scale, but about who can drive compute costs down to cabbage-level prices.

    SemiAnalysis releases the GDPx benchmark, testing agents on expert work across 11 domains

    SemiAnalysis releases the GDPx benchmark, testing AI agents with expert tasks across 11 domains; the top-scoring Claude Opus 5.5 averages only 12%, followed by Gemini 4 Carbon at 10.9%. The tasks span chip design, cybersecurity, finance, and law, among others, and come from 14 specialized data partners; unlike OpenAI's GDPval, which provides context directly in the prompt, GDPx requires agents to find information themselves in workspaces such as a replica of a real acquisition case made up of 3,983 documents. On financial and legal tasks, all models scored 0 under pass/fail grading, so partial credit was used instead; of 111 attempts to improve existing trading strategies, 70 saw the model perform worse than the original strategy, often simply by increasing risk.
