    Embodied intelligence funding cools, Ant Group leads Juqiao Industrial's hundred-million-yuan Series A to bet on robotic electronic skin

    Shandong-based flexible fabric tactile sensing company Juqiao Industrial has completed a hundred-million-yuan Series A funding round led by Ant Group, marking Ant's second move in the tactile sensing track within two months. In October 2026, the embodied intelligence track saw 33 funding deals totaling 10.105 billion yuan, a marked cooling from September's 60 deals and 11.028 billion yuan; upstream components such as dexterous hands, tactile sensors, and electronic skin became one of the few segments to buck the trend and attract capital. In September 2025, Juqiao Industrial rolled off its 1,000th set of fabric electronic skin for humanoid robots, with customers including Unitree, Songyan Power, and Lingcifang.

    OpenAI's funding target shrinks from $30 billion; Anthropic reportedly unlikely to obtain investment-grade rating after IPO

    According to The Wall Street Journal, in OpenAI's new funding round, which originally targeted $30 billion, investors were willing to provide only $11 billion, cutting the funding target by one-third; Sam Altman said he will continue reaching out to family offices and high-net-worth individuals in the coming weeks. Blackstone, a major investor in fellow AI company Anthropic, changed its tune and said that Anthropic will likely be unable to obtain an investment-grade rating after going public, which would affect its arrangements to borrow at low cost for its plan to build more than $800 billion in computing infrastructure by 2045. On the day the news emerged, the Nasdaq 100 index closed down 3.5%, bringing its cumulative decline for the entire month of October to about 5.3%.

    2026 CAD Drawing AI Intelligent Recognition: How to Achieve Automatic Legend Statistics and Integrated Parameter Control?

    In 2026, intelligent recognition of CAD drawings relies on native vector parsing and visual AI large models to achieve automatic legend extraction and statistics, with accuracy as high as 95% or above, and one-click generation of structured lists. Implementation is divided into four steps: multi-format drawing access and semantic parsing, intelligent recognition of legend symbols, global unified setting of layer attribute parameters, and intelligent verification and version difference comparison. The system can convert drawings into structured data such as JSON/Excel, connecting the links from design to cost estimation and construction.

    19-year-old no-code developer makes $11,200 a month with an AI video editing app

    A 19-year-old student and independent no-code developer used AI programming tools to build an AI video editing app, reaching $11,200 in MRR (about 80,000 RMB) over the past 4 weeks, with about 400 paying users. The product offers automatic highlight detection, segment cutting, burned-in subtitles, viral-potential scoring, and one-click distribution; subscriptions come in three tiers at $9/$39/$99, and customer acquisition relies on spending 45 minutes a day replicating proven viral formats, at a monthly cost of about $15. Competitors in its space have raised about 360 million RMB and have teams of over a hundred people.

    Ethan Mollick: Why AI Agents Are Hard to Isolate

    Robocurve PBC had two isolated copies of the same AI exchange a secret code using only a robot and a camera. They succeeded using air-writing, Morse code, flag semaphore, and a 5-bit binary alphabet, without agreeing on a protocol beforehand. Ethan Mollick commented that this is both ingenious and shows why isolating agents is so difficult: they share the same "brain," so recognizing creative communication schemes generated by other AIs is not hard for them; he also wonders whether it would work across model families.

    Sanan Optoelectronics Uses Low-Resistance SiC Substrates and S²I-ARCP Soft Switching to Redefine the Energy-Efficiency Boundaries of AIDC Power Supplies

    Hunan Sanan, a subsidiary of Sanan Optoelectronics, has reduced the average resistivity of its SiC substrates to 11mΩ·cm, halving the 20mΩ·cm of conventional mass production, while maintaining metrics such as stacking faults and dislocations at levels benchmarked against mass-production standards. An 800V/15kW prototype based on Sanan SiC MOSFETs adopts the S²I-ARCP topology, achieving wide-load efficiency above 99.6%, supporting natural convection cooling, and reducing device temperature by about 50°C under 30kHz/10kW operating conditions. Its SiC MOSFET matrix covers 2300V/35mΩ, 1200V 14–40mΩ, and 750V 9–50mΩ, and has already been delivered in volume to leading server power supply companies at home and abroad.

    Panic selling sweeps the US stock market—is a turbulent start to November on the cards?

    US stocks fell early this week before recovering; gains driven by Anthropic's IPO announcement and the Fed's decision to hold rates steady were erased by concerns over financing and returns on the AI investment theme. Both the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 posted a third consecutive weekly decline, with the Nasdaq down 7.8% since its record closing high on October 6. US equity funds saw net outflows of $6.65 billion last week, and the communication services sector fell 8.5%, recording its largest weekly outflow since records began in 2018. Fed funds rate futures show expectations of a December rate hike falling from 91% to 78%.

    From cables to backup power: computing power's "power purchase" reshapes the growth logic of power equipment companies

    The rigid "power purchase" demand brought by AI computing power expansion is shifting the value logic of the power equipment industry chain from single grid investment to the realization of computing power orders. Yangtze Optical Fibre's Q3 net profit attributable to shareholders was 3.203 billion yuan, up 1741.52% year on year; TGOOD's computing power center-related equipment winning bids exceeded 1.5 billion yuan, up more than 300% year on year; Weichai Power's data center power generation product sales exceeded 2,700 units, up nearly 200% year on year.

    AI computing power demand drives PCB third-quarter results, with Shengyi Technology and WUS Printed Circuit seeing sharp profit increases

    The 2026 third-quarter reports show that orders for AI servers, high-speed switches, optical modules and IC substrates surged, driving a collective rise in PCB sector performance: Shengyi Technology's net profit attributable to shareholders for the first three quarters was 6.727 billion yuan, up 175.36% year on year, while WUS Printed Circuit's rose 106.87% year on year to 5.622 billion yuan. A Citigroup research report estimates that the global AI PCB market will reach 152 billion yuan in 2026, up 86% year on year, but supplies of raw materials such as copper-clad laminates remain tight, and new capacity from several companies will not come on stream until 2027.

    White House Science and Technology Advisor Council Chairman Sachs Comments on Anthropic S-1: May Become the Greatest Company in the History of Capitalism

    David Sachs, Chairman of the U.S. White House Science and Technology Advisory Council, analyzed Anthropic's S-1 registration filing on the All-In podcast, saying that this artificial intelligence company is likely to become the greatest company in the history of capitalism. The filing shows that Anthropic had revenue of $16.3 billion in the first half of 2026 and cash on its books of $112 billion, with projected 2026 annual recurring revenue reaching $100 billion, and seven founders holding 50.1% of voting rights through Class F shares. Sachs believes that its abundant cash makes its IPO financing needs lower than outside expectations, thereby giving it stronger pricing power.

    SenseTime Open-Sources SenseNova Loop-9B-Preview, Claiming It Rivals 27B-Parameter Models

    SenseTime announced on October 30 the open-sourcing of SenseNova Loop-9B-Preview. The model adopts a Looped Transformer architecture and expands effective computational depth through recurrent computation; the company claims that at only 9B parameters it can rival 27B-parameter models. The model retains the original decoder modules of 4 layers each at the beginning and end, converts the middle layers into parameter-sharing recurrent computation modules, and introduces mHC (Manifold-Constrained Hyper-Connections) to enhance feature interaction. The company claims that it surpasses Qwen3.5-27B on evaluations such as WorkBuddy Bench, RaccoonPPT Bench, and AutomationBench, and that in ablation experiments GPQA Diamond and TeamBench improved by 4.42 points and 13.34 points, respectively.
