According to Bloomberg, OpenAI has raised $11 billion in a new, as-yet-unclosed round at a $1.25 trillion valuation. With this round, the total target is expected to reach approximately $20 billion.

Users can create custom interfaces within Meta's Muse app, such as a shopping mall or a school bulletin board. These spaces automatically pull data from connected external applications to keep information up to date.

The newly developed open-source CheMeleon, pre-trained on data from one million molecules, accelerates drug and material discovery even with a small amount of experimental data. The model demonstrates superiority over other methods in 58 test cases, reducing experimental costs.

Glyph (1) is an artificial intelligence assistant concept with a transparent polycarbonate body that activates the function corresponding to whichever face of the device is facing upward. The design aims to manage digital functions through simple physical movements, freeing the user from infinite scrolling loops.

NVIDIA's open-source 5G/6G software enables the development of AI-based network systems that shorten robots' response times and reduce energy consumption. Researchers can test next-generation connectivity solutions faster by shortening simulation times and improving signal reception with these tools.

At the Fal.Con Europe conference, CrowdStrike introduced this tool, which enables security teams to immediately halt autonomous AI agents exhibiting unexpected behavior and sever their network connections. This feature addresses the need for companies to keep these autonomous software agents under control in the face of increasing AI agent adoption.

The new model detected 1,724 critical security vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel and 81 in Firefox, generating exploit code. OpenAI reported the findings to the project maintainers, proposed fixes, and restricted access to authorized researchers.

At its summit on November 5, Huawei launched the Qingyun HM650 series, composed entirely of domestic components. The company announced that sales of its HarmonyOS-based computers have exceeded one million units and that more than 21,000 compatible applications are available.

Dropbox is acquiring Tigris Data to strengthen its artificial intelligence infrastructure and support the DBX Agent Cloud platform. The transaction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Baidu released this MoE AI model, which has 14 billion active parameters, as open source. The company plans to launch an enhanced ERNIE 5.5 Flash version shortly after this base model.

ToyBlocks offers a controlled virtual environment to examine robot performance in tasks such as pushing, rotating, and stacking blocks. This open-source tool accelerates robotic learning processes by enabling researchers to perform automatic task generation and model evaluation.

These robots, developed with UBTECH Robotics, will be integrated with the Xinhua Yudian AI agent to take on supporting roles such as multilingual content presentation and audience interaction. The agency emphasized that the robots will not act as independent news writers and that human reporters will retain a central role in the editorial process.
