Highlights

• Moonshot AI launches Kimi Linear, shrinking 1M-token KV cache by 75% and bringing ultra-long reasoning back into deployable range.
• OpenAI unveils Aardvark, a GPT-5-powered security agent that inspects codebases, reproduces exploits, and ships patches automatically.
• Figma Weave and Canva Grow show how AI is turning the creative stack into orchestrated nodes.
• Baidu World focuses on embodied intelligence + Kunlun chips—capital and policy keep betting on “physical AI.”

Product / Feature Updates

• Kimi Linear mixes Kimi Delta Attention (linear attention + gated memory). On million-token inputs, decoding throughput jumps up to 6×, perfect for news aggregation, legal review, or compliance archives.
• Aardvark Security Agent uses GPT-5 + Codex with multi-agent routing to validate exploits in sandboxes, propose fixes, and create merge requests—moving from “manual detection” to “model patrols.”
• Figma Weave & Canva Grow bring node-based creation and “creative OS” concepts to life, connecting models, workflows, and brand assets so teams can go from explore → generate → launch on a single canvas.

Research Watch

• DARTS drone sensing shows lightweight models + thermal imaging can detect accidents 12 minutes earlier—actionable for smart cities.
• BasicAVSR bundles flow-guided propagation, second-order motion compensation, and Laplacian priors into a “video Swiss army knife” for watermark removal, super-resolution, and restoration.

Industry & Capital

• Steve Zhou (Unitree) predicts a physical-intelligence inflection post GPT-6; chip+robot combos aim to bridge “model to embodiment.”
• LiblibAI raises USD 130M Series B, evolving from model community to creative studio; Google × Jio AI Pro shows how 5G + Gemini packages can blanket emerging markets.

Open Source / Tools

• claude-relay-service (⭐4.6k) abstracts multiple LLM subscriptions into one relay layer, slashing API costs and key management.
• BettaFish offers multi-agent sentiment tracking for non-tech users; ai-engineering-hub curates full LLM/RAG/Agent curricula for self-taught engineers.

Community Signals

• Amazon’s USD 125B compute plan highlights the “expansion speed = monetisation speed” equation and shows clouds no longer fear capex.
• Cursor Composer’s Chinese aside, Andrew Ng’s “idea → implementation” record lows, Codex credit billing, and “GPUs cheaper than payroll” debates all point to AI rewriting language, pricing, and job structures simultaneously.
