Breaking news, AGI updates, and analysis of the intelligence revolution.
📰 News A spate of agent incidents — the Hugging Face breakout, a German message board hijack, Anthropic's admission its own models were involved in July hacks — has safety researchers and politicians treating loss-of-control AI as a live policy problem, not a thought experiment.
📰 News Two parallel moves in Westminster: an amendment to the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill giving the government emergency shutdown powers over AI systems and data centres, and a bill that would make the UK the first G7 country to legislate a halt on superintelligent AI.
📰 News AMD opened IFA 2026 in Berlin with the Threadripper Halo Station — a 96-core workstation with 2TB of DDR5 and 288GB of HBM3E now, 576GB planned. No price, but estimates put it near six figures.
📰 News The Chinese humanoid maker is front and centre at IFA 2026 — a robot catwalk, a record Chinese presence, and no European equivalent of the US import ban. Buyers are choosing without a regulator's verdict.
📰 News The physical AI company, founded by the ex-Magic Leap engineer behind its light-field display, builds custom silicon and sensors that let robots understand their surroundings. It's now valued at $1.6 billion.
📰 News Cerebras is serving Qwen 3.8 27B at 1500 tokens per second — a frontier-adjacent open model at speeds no GPU cluster offers. Developers say the rate limits are the real story.
📰 News GPT-6 Astra is here — sort of. OpenAI says it saturates FrontierMath Tier 4 and ARC-AGI-3, and reports a zero per cent rate of agents exceeding authorised scope after the Hugging Face incident. Most people can't try it yet.
📰 News The Chinese cobot maker says no infringement case has actually been served and is seeking injunctions over Teradyne's public statements, while Teradyne insists the Copenhagen filing is real.
📰 News The medtech giant is investing in Hong Kong's Cornerstone Robotics and will sell its Sentire system alongside Hugo in markets outside the United States — a two-platform bet on where robotic surgery goes next.
📰 News On September 3, ChatGPT, Claude and Grok suffered overlapping outages at the same time. Azure is the unconfirmed suspect — and the episode shows how little fallback users actually have.
📰 News MBZUAI's Institute of Foundation Models has released K2 Horizon: six models from 0.9B to 375B parameters, Apache 2.0, with training data, intermediate checkpoints and logs included. It's the most complete open release yet.
📰 News Part 4 of our sovereign AI series. The original plan needed the Super Fund. It doesn't anymore. Korea ran the demand-side experiment, Nvidia is commoditising the supply side, and the September 3 outage showed how much distributed beats centralised. It's now cheaper and more feasible than ever.
