    WarTalk: Kofman on Starshield rate limiting and the lessons Ukraine offers the US military

    On the WarTalk podcast, Michael Kofman pointed out that SpaceX has imposed rate limiting on Ukraine's Starshield network, capping drone connection speeds at roughly 160 km/h and making them unstable, which has caused heavy losses of Ukrainian light and heavy medium-range strike drones operating at depths of 50–300 kilometers and has hindered the mass production of its jet-powered interceptor drones. He believes that the United States still holds leverage over the war, that Europe cannot replace the United States' role in NATO, and that procuring drones is meaningless without accompanying drone platoons and companies.

    Peng Wensheng: Industrial capital dominates AI innovation financing, US private credit plays an important role

    Peng Wensheng pointed out that the dominant players in financing this round of AI large-model innovation have shifted from independent venture capital to industrial capital (CVC), with large tech companies leveraging their first-mover advantages in computing power and cash flow to bear the vast majority of AI capital expenditure. US private credit has provided important debt financing for data center construction and small and medium-sized tech startups, while China has a structural mismatch of debt in the guise of equity. He also noted that angel and seed-stage projects account for 41% of all venture capital deals in the US, compared with only 9% in China.

    The Foldable iPhone and Touchscreen MacBook Pro Have Arrived—How Much Pressure Are Developers Under to Adapt?

    Leitech analyzes Apple's recently launched foldable phone iPhone Duo and first touchscreen MacBook Pro, arguing that the new interaction rules bring significant adaptation pressure to developers. iPhone Duo moves the navigation bar and toolbar to the side of the screen and, based on iOS 27, designs an equal-ratio split-screen mode for two apps, but after launch, many third-party apps still display only a small window with black bars on both sides when unfolded. The article cites developer feedback saying that adapting a native app may take only one to three hours, while an app developed with .NET MAUI took 19 hours and still had not completed all adjustments; another developer used AI Coding to complete adjustments to more than 50 interfaces in three days.

    Musk Tightens Grok Bot Usage Limits Due to Excessive Costs

    Musk confirmed on X that the tightening of Grok Bot's weekly usage limits was not a malfunction, but rather because the cost of the service was too high relative to revenue. Some users reported that weekend usage jumped directly from as low as 50% to 100%. SpaceX's filing last month stated that AI already accounted for 52% of the company's revenue, and its renamed Super Intelligence division achieved a profit of $431 million.

    ElevenLabs releases SFX v3 API: supports multi-segment prompts to generate sound effects

    ElevenLabs has released the SFX v3 sound effects model in the Sound Effects API, with the model ID eleven_text_to_sound_v3. Compared with SFX v2, it follows multi-instruction prompts more strictly and handles vocals and music better. The new model automatically determines sound effect duration based on the prompt, and duration_seconds can be used to specify the duration. prompt_influence defaults to 0.3, and increasing it can make the output more closely match the prompt. Loop generation currently only supports eleven_text_to_sound_v2.

    Tomasz Tunguz proposes four economic questions for the four-layer AI stack

    Tomasz Tunguz divides the AI stack into four layers: applications, harness and context, models, and data centers, and argues that each layer faces an unresolved economic question. He notes that in the same week, OpenAI and Anthropic models scored higher in Cursor than in their respective native harnesses; input context can account for up to 98% of all tokens; and a better harness can reduce the cost of the same answer by 71% and raise gross margin from 38% to 75%. At the data center layer, AI will require $4 trillion in new debt within five years, the Ornn B300 index has risen to $12.29 per GPU hour, and it has been growing at a compound monthly rate of about 20% since June.

    Anthropic Updates IPO Filing: Third-Quarter Operating Loss of $567 Million

    Anthropic updated its IPO filing, disclosing third-quarter results for the first time, with operating profit swinging from $974 million in the second quarter to an operating loss of $567 million. The main reasons are $5 billion in higher-cost short-term computing power and $2 billion in non-cash expenses for employee charitable matching gifts; computing power as a share of revenue rose to 58%, adjusted operating profit rose from $2.2 billion to $2.5 billion, but the adjusted profit margin fell from 19% to 15%. The filing shows total computing power commitments of $895 billion, of which $447 billion is expected by the end of 2030 and $70 billion is due within 12 months; Google's minimum commitment rose to $121 billion (through July 2033).

    Sam Altman: AI Intelligence Has Surpassed Top Scientists

    Sam Altman said at the opening ceremony of ADIPEC in Abu Dhabi that at the beginning of this year, AI was mostly less capable than the smartest scientists, and now it is mostly smarter than them; previously, AI was mostly unable to take on white-collar work, and now it can complete many parts of it. He also emphasized that this statement is rough, that performance is unstable, and that it does not hold true in all respects.

    China Tech Weekly: CXMT Trial-Produces HBM3E, Brain-Computer Interface Restores Vision

    ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) plans to start limited mass production of HBM3E within two months, with a yield of only 20–30%, compared with about 70% for SK Hynix, while performance remains close to the previous generation, HBM3. Chinese doctors implanted a brain-computer interface in a 66-year-old woman blinded by retinitis pigmentosa, bypassing the damaged retina to directly stimulate the visual cortex; her vision recovered to about 0.125 (about 20/160), and she can walk independently, recognize characters, and identify her grandson. Henan accounts for about 80% of China's synthetic diamond output and is shifting high-thermal-conductivity diamond toward AI chip cooling and semiconductor packaging.

    Terence Tao criticizes the way AI proves mathematics: automated, predatory mining

    In a recent interview, Terence Tao criticized the way AI proves mathematics, describing the chaos surrounding the Navier-Stokes equations as a kind of automated, predatory exploitation and mining. He believes mathematicians want AI to serve as an on-call supercalculator, not as a competitor fighting over results; the value of humans solving difficult problems lies in refining conceptual systems and theoretical tools through long-term derivation, whereas AI, relying on computing power and black-box logic to directly take the answer, leaves behind theoretical ruins that are hard to understand and impossible to build on. He emphasized that a correct answer does not equal scientific progress.
