    Bluetti Balco 260 balcony power station storage tested: supports AC charging

    In testing, the Bluetti Balco 260 balcony power station storage supports AC charging. The main unit has a built-in 2.56 kWh LiFePO4 battery; with the BC260 expansion battery, total capacity is 5.12 kWh, and up to five expansion batteries can be connected for 15.36 kWh. It features four independent MPPT inputs that together accept up to 2400 W of solar, and it supports AC surplus charging via the Shelly Pro 3EM, with prices starting at 649 euros. In testing, discharge efficiency at 800 W was good, but at a constant 200 W discharge the usable AC energy was slightly lower, and standby loss was about 20 W.

    Claude web and desktop now offer a Chinese interface, but mainland China is still not on the list of supported regions

    Claude web and desktop have added a language selector, and the interface now supports Chinese (Simplified) and Chinese (Traditional), among more than thirty languages; the mobile app has not yet followed suit. In the billing country drop-down menu on the checkout page, China appears, and both the $20 Pro and $200 Max plans are selectable, but the official list of supported regions still does not include mainland China, Hong Kong, or Macao. Anthropic has previously imposed account bans and identity verification restrictions on access from unsupported regions; this Chinese interface is mainly aimed at overseas Chinese users.

    NVIDIA Expands Nemotron Model Family with New Super VL and Two Bolt Models

    NVIDIA has added three models to the Nemotron open-source model family, covering enterprise workflows, local AI agents, and conversational applications across data centers, desktops, and edge devices. These include the 120-billion-parameter Nemotron 3.5 Super VL, which NVIDIA claims delivers up to 5x the throughput of the next-best comparable model, with accuracy approaching that of its largest reasoning model at roughly one-fifth the parameter count; there are also two small models in the Nemotron 3.5 Bolt series: 74B-A9B 24GB for everyday agent tasks on RTX and DGX Spark, and E4B 4GB for conversational and physical AI agents. Super VL and Bolt 74B-A9B are already available, and Bolt E4B is scheduled for release on October 23.

    The Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Science and Technology plan to revise the technology export catalog, adding 23 artificial intelligence technologies

    On October 16, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Science and Technology issued an announcement proposing to revise the Catalog of Technologies Prohibited or Restricted from Export in China, soliciting public comments on 40 technologies in three fields: artificial intelligence, biomedicine, and photovoltaics, while simultaneously implementing pre-export registration management. The artificial intelligence field involves 23 technologies related to large models, agents, computing power clusters, and information processing; the restricted export section lists specific indicators such as AI chip design, high-speed interconnection of computing power clusters, and fault tolerance in distributed training. The announcement specifies that technologies that have entered the public domain through open source, published academic papers, and other means are not included in the scope of management, and that enterprises using restricted large models to provide external API calls, APP or web interaction, SaaS applications, and local on-device lightweight deployment do not fall within the scope of large model technology export management.

    Hugging Face Releases Beam: A 501B Open Source Model Supporting 1M Context and Self-Hosting

    Hugging Face has released Beam, a 501B-parameter sparse MoE open source model aimed at long-text reasoning and agent tasks with 1M context, activating only about 23B parameters per token. The model uses 52 layers of hybrid attention, with 43 layers using a 512-token sliding window and 9 layers using global attention; the KV cache grows by 36 KiB per token, about one-sixth that of a full-attention approach. The official release provides three checkpoints—BF16, FP8, and NVFP4; NVFP4 can compress the weights from about 1 TB to about 280 GB, and day-0 support is already available in transformers, vLLM, and SGLang.

    Smartphone makers' shipments fell 20%, and AI cannot be blamed for this

    In the third quarter of 2026, global smartphone shipments fell by about 20% year-on-year, but this decline mainly came from manufacturers reducing shipments to channels, rather than a simultaneous decline in consumer purchases. Counterpoint data shows that during the 2026 618 promotion period, China's sell-through sales fell 13% year-on-year, and the global average replacement cycle has extended to about 43 months. Memory price increases hit low-end models hardest. In the second quarter of 2026, among smartphone shipments under 100 US dollars in Southeast Asia, Xiaomi fell 69%, vivo fell 88%, and OPPO fell 96%.
