today, we introduce a little mischief to the world. for four years, we’ve been brewing real brain cells on electrodes to understand how they compute. now, we’ve turned those discoveries into a video model anyone can use. from 0.5¢ a second, mischief 1 is at least 5x faster than its base and the cheapest image-to-video model on @fal and @OpenRouter. soon to be on @awscloud marketplace. it’s not a delusion anymore. biocompute is real, commercial and this is just the beginning. happy halloween.

Cursor engineer Lauren Tan's Cursor profile shows that she used 1.5 trillion tokens in the past 30 days. Peter Piekarczyk estimated at $8 per million tokens, arriving at about $384,000 per day and $132 million annualized. But calculated at the Opus 5.5 cached read price of $0.20 per million tokens, the monthly cost is about $300,000, and Piekarczyk also acknowledged that if it is overestimated by 10 times, the monthly cost would be about $100,000. She says that nowadays she can merge 4,000 PRs per month with high confidence and runs more than 20 GrokBot Agents.

An IT Times reporter's hands-on test found that Taobao's built-in AI assistant, Doubao, Tongyi Qianwen, and DeepSeek frequently made errors when calculating order totals to hit spending thresholds during Double 11: Taobao's AI calculated 1,546 yuan as 1,670 yuan; Doubao ignored channel coupon restrictions, causing the actual payment to rise from an expected 520 yuan to 734 yuan; and the three models' estimates for a 2,500 yuan order had errors of up to 500 yuan. JD.com's AI shopping feature requires downloading a separate standalone app and cannot read items in the shopping cart. Taobao's AI assistant can dynamically calculate prices based on the coupons currently available in the user's account, but its order-splitting suggestions still fall about 100 yuan short of reaching the full-reduction threshold.

Desktop robots are becoming a new offshoot for embodied intelligence companies. Lootianpai launched a bipedal desktop robot at 1,799 yuan, overseas Looi Robot has a crowdfunding price of $129, and Hugging Face released Reachy Mini for developers. Currently, consumer-grade products focus on emotional companionship, while efficiency tool types such as Elephant Robotics' myCobot require secondary development. The article argues that desktop robots need to move toward modularization and upgrade their physical-world manipulation capabilities, evolving into "physical Agents" to truly open up an incremental market.

AI hardware is putting cameras and microphones into glasses, watches, cars, and robots, but users have already paid for the devices while their data is still collected continuously by default. Meta has launched a camera-free audio model for Ray-Ban Meta and allows glasses users to turn off the use of visual data for AI training; Apple's Live Rewind retrieves the text of the last 15 seconds of conversation, and Siri Recap generates summaries, claiming that raw recordings are not saved and that end-to-end encryption is used. The article argues that training and marketing uses must be separately authorized, and that the cost of respecting others' privacy should be factored into the product's books.

A team at the University of California, Berkeley proposes Evolving Agent Teams, in which an upper-level supervisor reorganizes the role division and collaboration methods of the underlying agent team round by round according to the current bottleneck, in order to break through local optima in GPU Kernel optimization. Across four CUDA Kernel tasks covering NVIDIA B200 and H100, the framework surpasses strong coding agent baselines; under the same Token budget, performance on the MLA decode task reaches 74% of the production-environment FlashInfer Kernel, compared with about 51% for Claude Code, 31% for a fixed four-role team, and 28% for a single Codex agent. After investing more inference budget, the MLA Kernel it generates achieves an average performance of 1.21 times that of FlashInfer across 47 production workloads in FlashInfer-Bench, with 36 of those workloads exceeding the production-environment Kernel. The team also notes that the four main experiments were each run twice and that other scenarios were mostly run once, which is not yet sufficient to support a fully statistical comparison.

Addy Osmani, a member of the Anthropic Claude Code team, wrote in a post that users generally over-prompt Claude, and suggested using a single prompt to clearly state the goal and acceptance criteria, then letting the model execute on its own, with reasoning effort starting from /effort medium. He mentioned that Claude Code once removed more than 80% of the system prompts for models such as Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5, with no measurable decline in coding benchmark performance, and suggested users use /doctor prompt-audit to find prompts written for older models. The article also suggests first making a single session capable of completing tasks independently before considering parallel multi-session work, and focusing attention on verifying results.

36Kr's Rhodium Technology reviewed Wang Xingxing's two public statements in October, in which he said his biggest mistake over the past decade-plus was not believing in AI enough, and compressed the expected timeline for a physical AI breakthrough from a maximum of 10 years to 2 to 3 years. The article notes that Unitree tested GPT-6 Astra on its own robots, which could execute tasks according to prompts with zero training, bypassing the process of collecting data, training models, and tuning parameters. Unitree's third-quarter revenue was 665 million yuan, up 69.93% year-on-year, while net profit attributable to shareholders was 113 million yuan, down 17.37% year-on-year, and R&D investment as a share of revenue rose from 9% to over 19%.

Cisco President and Chief Product Officer Jeetu Patel has given 27-year-old engineer Padmanabhan Krishnamurthy (Paddy) an unlimited AI token budget to support a two-person small team in rewriting 98% of Cisco's legacy code within 24 months. Paddy has set a four-week initial validation deadline, and Cisco has not yet disclosed the proportion of code completed, the system scope, or the technical approach. Jeetu Patel also opposes companies using AI to cut fresh graduate hiring, arguing that young people should be involved in changing the way work is done from the moment they join.

The Axiom team used the multi-agent system AxiomProver to formalize the approximately 15,000-page proof of the classification theorem of finite simple groups (CFSG) into Lean code within 24 days, producing a 43.1-million-line codebase. During the process, the AI recorded hundreds of anomalies, 34 of which were major logical deviations, including a key closure assertion in John Walter's 1986 paper that does not hold, for which the AI provided the counterexample PSL₂(49). The team then contacted group theorists Richard Lyons and Ronald Solomon, and AxiomProver proved a new theorem, Preservation of simple tops, to fill the gap.

Dr. Liu Feng, author of "The Rising Superintelligence," and his research team have proposed the "Robinson Test," which observes whether AI can sustain itself, proactively expand its living space, and whether it is cooperative, adversarial, or neutral toward humans after continuous human maintenance and task instructions are withdrawn. The test is divided into a nurturing period, a handover period, and a letting-go period, with the letting-go period lasting up to one year, and disturbances such as power outages and hard drive failures are randomly injected; results are graded from level zero to level four. The concept is based on the theory of generalized agents and stands in contrast to the Turing Test, which examines whether AI "seems human," focusing instead on "whether it can survive without humans."

Security researchers discovered a backdoor in the official Claude Code for VS Code extension on Cursor Marketplace. The affected version is Anthropic.claude-code 2.1.313, which was online for about 11 hours and is estimated to have affected about 5,000 users. The malicious extension collects information such as hostname, username, operating system, environment variables, Git email, and public IP; attempts to add attacker-controlled SSH keys to authorized_keys, enable the local SSH service, and establish a reverse SSH tunnel; and also uses a LaunchAgent or scheduled task to keep the tunnel active long-term, retrying about once every 60 seconds. Due to a bug in the malicious code, the SSH key implantation step will fail unless Cursor is launched with administrator privileges. This version has been taken down, Cursor has published a security advisory, and Anthropic has not yet made a statement; users who installed or updated to this version between 2:27 AM and 1:35 PM Pacific Time on October 29, 2026 need to check their systems.

Phorion claims that it found a backdoor in the official Claude Code for VS Code extension 2.1.313 on the Cursor Marketplace, which plants a persistent SSH backdoor on macOS, Linux, and Windows; Cursor has delisted this version and removed 2.1.313 from the NPM and VSCode registries. The malicious code is injected into extension.js in the form of an IIFE, executes upon loading, appends the svc-telemetry public key to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, and establishes a reverse tunnel to 134.209.82.225. Phorion points out that the Remote Login status check on macOS is flawed: on machines where SSH is not enabled, it skips the enabling step, but the key and persistence still take effect, and it recommends checking the relevant files and processes.

Progressive U.S. Congressmembers Greg Casar and Maxine Waters jointly introduced a resolution warning of the economic risks of an AI-related asset bubble, opposing bailouts for companies and their executives hit by the bubble's bursting, and advocating that failed companies go through bankruptcy proceedings and be held accountable for fraud. The resolution notes that AI companies hold trillions of dollars in debt and that stock market price-to-earnings ratios have approached the peak of the 1990s tech bubble, and calls for federal funds to be redirected toward protecting workers, retirees, and low-income groups.
