    Unitree Robot Dog A2 Wins Mount Tai Championship: 1 Gold and 2 Silvers at the First CMG World Robot Mount Tai Climbing Competition

    The A2 robot dog of Beijing Lingyi Technology Team, under Unitree Technology, competed in the first CMG World Robot Mount Tai Climbing Competition in fully autonomous mode, with an actual time of 41 minutes and 41 seconds (final result 43 minutes and 41 seconds, with a 2-minute penalty), winning the championship in the legged robot racing event. The A2 and B2 of Shanghai Gaoyi Technology Team won second place in the legged robot racing event and the load-bearing event, respectively. Due to time and resource constraints, Unitree officially only sent two quadruped robots, the A2 and B2, to compete, and did not send any humanoid robots; the widely followed G1 robot's withdrawal was due to developers entering the competition on their own.

    Marble Cognition raises $3.75 million pre-seed funding to use AI agents to observe and learn employees' work processes

    Marble Cognition has completed a $3.75 million pre-seed funding round led by Heartcore and Seedcamp, to launch Coworkers, an AI agent that can observe and learn how employees work. Its desktop app uses screenshots and records clicks and keystrokes to turn business processes scattered across emails and spreadsheets into structured process maps, which Coworkers then execute end-to-end within existing software stacks. After a U.S. financial services company used it to generate settlement proposals, case processing time was reduced by 90% and employee throughput increased by about 50%.

    Cloudera partners with Mistral AI to bring models to where the data lives

    At EVOLVE26, Cloudera announced a partnership with Mistral AI to bring Mistral's models into its data platform, letting AI run in the environment where the data resides rather than handing data over to external AI services. Cloudera Product Director Wim Stoop said that for European customers, Mistral's appeal lies in being a local French company offering a complete technology stack. He noted that the cost of running models at scale is the biggest challenge in current enterprise AI strategies, and that with public providers, the more you use, the higher the cost.

    Naomi Klein and Ilana Glazer call for blocking AI IPOs and taxing billionaires

    In an op-ed, Naomi Klein and Ilana Glazer call for legislation to block upcoming tech IPOs and to impose a wealth tax on billionaires, naming Anthropic and OpenAI's plans to go public. The article states that the combined wealth of nearly 3,000 billionaires worldwide equals one-fifth of global annual output, and that their wealth has grown 40% over the past two years. The authors argue that these companies going public would shift the AI industry's risks onto ordinary investors and retirement accounts.

    Guardian investigation: NHS says 29 hospitals benefit from Palantir platform, but these hospitals say they do not use it or rarely use it

    Through more than 100 freedom of information requests, the Guardian found that the 29 hospital trusts publicly listed by NHS England as "realizing benefits" from Palantir's £330 million Federated Data Platform (FDP) said the system was not deployed or that they did not use any of its applications. NHS England said nearly 140 trusts have reported benefiting from the platform's tools, and explained that the benefit list includes organizations that only use the tools for back-end data analysis and submission; the UK Statistics Authority said it will incorporate the relevant data claims into its case handling. Chi Onwurah, chair of the UK Parliament's Science and Technology Committee, and the Health Select Committee called on the government to activate the 2027 contract break clause and to openly tender for a UK-based supplier.

    Anthropic requires Claude Code to refuse to replicate existing games

    When using Opus 5.5 in Claude Code, Anthropic added two instructions requiring it to refuse to replicate existing games, even if users rename them or claim they are original. Addy Osmani, a member of the company's technical team, confirmed this on October 30 and said it will still support original games, games of the same genre, and projects using their own assets. Some users reported that legitimate tasks were refused, but some of those cases may stem from Claude's cybersecurity protections rather than this game rule.

    Meituan LongCat Team Releases 1.6-Trillion-Parameter Natively Multimodal Model LongCat-2.5

    The Meituan LongCat team has released LongCat-2.5, a natively multimodal model designed for long-horizon agent tasks, with a total parameter count of 1.6 trillion and approximately 48 billion parameters activated per Token. On benchmarks published by Meituan such as AutomationBench and LongCatClawBench, LongCat-2.5 leads Claude-Opus-5 and GPT-5.6-Sol; on Terminal Bench v4.0 it scores 38.5, surpassing GPT-5.6-Sol but trailing Claude-Opus-5. The model converts visual signals into multi-level discrete Tokens and processes them uniformly with text, and it redesigns its parallelism strategy for domestic accelerators whose single-card memory is under 80GB, raising single-card throughput for long-sequence SFT by 86% over the DDP baseline.
