    Hugging Face's 14-trillion-parameter Numbat confirmed to be fake

    The Hugging Face repository burner22/numbat claims to be a 14-trillion-parameter mid-training checkpoint of Anthropic's next-generation Mythos-class model, but evidence shows it is fabricated. The codename Numbat does indeed come from an unreleased model in the March 2026 Claude Code source code leak, but the uploading account was registered only a week in advance, and an independent review found that some weights were generated by a simple random number generator rather than obtained through training.

    Bending Spoons: 94% of code written by AI, leverage ratio 2.4x

    Bending Spoons CEO Luca Ferrari says that 94% of the company's code is written by AI, more than 90% of data analysis is handed over to AI, and customer service tickets are basically no longer answered by its own staff, while the company maintains 2.4x leverage with a self-imposed cap of 3x. The company has acquired more than fifty software companies including Airtable, AOL, and Vimeo, and has replaced their entire tooling with more than fifty tools developed in-house. He believes that no decent company should have an AI code-writing ratio below 70%.

    Claude Ultra Removes 5-Hour Limit for Verified Accounts, Weekly Usage Limits Remain

    Anthropic has adjusted the usage rules for Claude's highest-tier subscription plan, Ultra. Ultra accounts that have passed system verification are no longer subject to the usage limit of one use per 5 hours, while the weekly usage cap remains in place; accounts that have not completed verification are still temporarily subject to the 5-hour limit. This adjustment coincides with a renaming of subscription plans: the former Max 5x is renamed Max, and Max 20x is renamed Ultra, with monthly fees maintained at $100 and $200 respectively. Existing subscribers are automatically verified by the system based on their account and payment history. Ultra's weekly usage remains 10 times that of the Pro plan; the weekly quota applies across different models, and Fable has a separate independent weekly usage limit.

    AI Brings Divergence in Advertising Business: Meta Ad Revenue Grows 26%, Google Search Up Only 12%

    Meta's third-quarter ad revenue was $63.1 billion, up 26% year over year, while Google's search and related ad revenue for the same period was $63.4 billion, up 12% year over year; the 14-percentage-point growth gap is the largest margin by which Meta has led Google since 2021. Meta has introduced AI tools into its ad management system, and its Chief Financial Officer Susan Li said advertisers using the relevant tools saw conversion rates rise by nearly 5% and ad spending increase by 9%. Google, meanwhile, faces AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Claude diverting search demand, and its own AI Overviews and AI Mode have also changed how search results are presented.

    WIRED Investigation Finds Over 400 AI Apps Concealing Sexual Abuse Deepfake Features

    A WIRED investigation found a network of more than 400 linked domains and apps that appear on the surface to be everyday tools such as pet portraits, language learning, and AI fitness coaches, but under specific conditions load web interfaces for generating explicit sexual images and videos, including templates such as "bedroom rape" and "threatening knife." After tracking thousands of explicit deepfake ads on Meta's platforms, researchers found that these links pointed to apps in Apple's and Google's app stores; one app called DiffAI had more than 100,000 downloads on the Play Store, and another 27 such apps were still listed on Google Play in September with cumulative downloads exceeding 350,000. The investigation indicates that these apps appear to be operated by Chinese developers and the Hong Kong-registered entity KeLing Technology Limited; Apple removed 19 apps after WIRED inquired, and Meta said it had taken action against the relevant advertising accounts and pages.

    Google Energy Executive Says Space Data Centers Could Cost Up to 100 Times More Than Ground-Based Ones

    Amanda Peterson Corio, Google's head of data center energy, said at the WTF summit that the launch cost of sending computing hardware into orbit is extremely high, potentially up to 100 times the cost of ground-based construction, and noted that the real bottleneck lies in the approval process and lengthy evaluation studies required to connect projects to the grid. She mentioned that if launch costs fall to $200 per kilogram or below, the computing cost per unit of power in space could become roughly comparable to that on the ground, a threshold that may be reached around 2035. This month, Google's research team still announced a partnership with PlanetLabs to explore large-scale space data center clusters, and has already launched a small space server prototype carrying its self-developed TPU under the Suncatcher project.

    The agentic web has arrived: from the Semantic Web to the agent web, how human webpages will be rewritten

    MIT Tech Review reporter Grace Huckins writes that the Semantic Web vision proposed by Berners-Lee in 2001 is becoming a reality in the form of an agent network based on large language models. Agents such as Meta's Muse, OpenAI's Dots and Anthropic's Claude Duet have begun connecting to users' bank accounts and email inboxes, and websites such as Time have launched ads aimed at agents. The article compares two paths: letting agents operate browsers like humans, or directly interfacing with website backends through plug-ins and connectors using text and code; it also discusses changes such as Amazon banning Muse and agent traffic disrupting the attention economy.

    Deep Learning-Based Rolling Bearing Fault Diagnosis Part 5: Why a Random Forest Hands-On Is Also Worth Doing

    In Part 5 of the rolling bearing fault diagnosis series, a random forest is used to build a traditional machine learning control group: each 1000×2 sample is flattened into 2000-dimensional features and trained with parameters such as n_estimators=50 and max_depth=5, achieving an overall accuracy of about 0.73. The author points out that tree models cannot see the waveform structure, and 73% is already the upper limit of their expressive capability, which perfectly highlights the value of the subsequent deep network's 95%.

    How RFID Drives the Intelligent Upgrade of Archive Management

    RFID intelligent archive management binds a unique RFID electronic tag to each physical archive and, by combining the Internet of Things with AI algorithms, carries out digital control over the entire process of archive receipt, management, storage, and use. The system consists of hardware such as RFID workstations, intelligent inventory carts, AI algorithm-based RFID access control, and smart archive cabinets. It can shorten an inventory that originally required several people and several days to a few hours completed by one person with one cart, and reduce search time from hours to minutes.
