    Meituan Releases LongCat-2.5: A 1.6-Trillion-Parameter Native Multimodal Model Strengthening Long-Horizon Agent Capabilities

    The Meituan LongCat team has released LongCat-2.5, a native multimodal model with a total parameter count of 1.6 trillion and approximately 48 billion parameters activated per Token. Building on LongCat-2.0, it strengthens native visual understanding and agentic coding capabilities. In benchmarks published by Meituan such as AutomationBench and LongCatClawBench, LongCat-2.5 leads Claude-Opus-5 and GPT-5.6-Sol, but on Terminal Bench v4.0 it scores 38.5, surpassing GPT-5.6-Sol while still trailing Claude-Opus-5. In response to domestic accelerators having less than 80GB of memory per card, the team reorganized parallel strategies around supernodes, claiming that single-card throughput on long-sequence SFT tasks improved by 86% over the DDP baseline.

    Hume AI releases the Hume Decision API, using an audio-native model to answer questions about recordings

    Hume AI launches the Hume Decision API, an audio-native model that can directly analyze the recording itself to answer questions about the recording. Users can customize questions and options, for example, determining whether a caller appears frustrated, and obtain an estimate of how human listeners would answer. In preliminary tests, the model's agreement rate with the review panel's average answers was 70.7%, compared with 56.5% for an individual human listener.

    Introducing the Hume Audio Decision API. Ask anything: How many speakers? Is anyone laughing? Is the caller frustrated? What used to take 10+ models is now one call. Trained on 10M+ human judgments, so it answers the way human listeners would. Realtime, or across hours of recordings. Request access below.

    Author announces abandonment of Ubuntu due to delayed patching of critical kernel vulnerability

    The blogger decided to migrate all servers away from Ubuntu because Ubuntu was slow to patch CVE-2026-98432 (CVSS 9.8) in the Linux kernel TCP code. The vulnerability has existed since 2016 and can be exploited remotely to gain root privileges; Anthropic stated it had built working exploit code; Debian completed patching on October 16, while all supported Ubuntu versions (including LTS) were still marked as vulnerable nine days after the vulnerability was rated. The author points out that volunteer-maintained distributions such as Debian, Arch, and Alpine have all released fixes, while Canonical, which sells security subscription services, has not yet provided a patch, so he took the affected servers offline.

    Sam Altman: Energy is AI's biggest challenge; atoms are still atoms

    Speaking at the opening ceremony of ADIPEC in Abu Dhabi, Sam Altman said that energy is AI's biggest challenge, because "atoms are still atoms." He believes that more efficient models, robots that can boost chip fab efficiency and assemble racks will drive major progress in other areas, but the physical world on which power supply depends is hard to change, and this will become the dominant factor determining AI's cost, abundance, and the scale of what can be created.

    Anthropic Tightens Claude Code Rules, Prohibits Cloning Existing Games

    Anthropic added two instructions to its coding assistant Claude Code targeting Opus 5.5, preventing it from cloning specific existing games, while allowing original development based on known genres or the user's own assets. An Anthropic spokesperson confirmed the change to Game Developer, citing developer Addy Osmani's explanation on X, saying the basis is the terms of use prohibiting infringement of others' intellectual property. The report also mentioned that some developers report Claude Code wrongly blocking their own projects involving game mechanics, anti-cheat software, and reverse engineering, and Anthropic said it will continue to adjust the rule based on feedback.

    German Chancellor Merz: Google Cloud is sufficiently sovereign for intelligence agencies

    At a digital summit, German Chancellor Merz said that Google Cloud is sufficiently sovereign for German intelligence agencies, and that European sovereignty can also be achieved through U.S. suppliers investing in Germany and Europe. He said the offline cloud to be used by the intelligence agencies is not a fully integrated infrastructure, but "European infrastructure," and expressed high confidence in its data security. Previously, German and European institutions had been pushing to replace U.S. hyperscale cloud providers with local vendors.
