Two new lines at Onsan lift semiconductor-grade sulfuric acid capacity from 280,000 to 320,000 tonnes a year. One smelter supplies over 60% of Korean demand, and 95% of its output goes to Korean chipmakers.

Fifty-seven per cent of the headline round is a General Catalyst credit facility, which is lending capital to be pushed out as loans and dilutes nobody. The unicorn label is an inference from an undisclosed multiple.

Houston and San Diego were reported as robotaxi expansion on the same day Waymo opened three cities to paying riders. What arrives in Zoox's new cities is retrofitted SUVs with human safety drivers, building maps.

LM-SPT's code is Apache-2.0 and its weights are CC BY-NC 4.0. Kakao did not choose that split — the restriction is inherited from the Emilia training corpus, whose own Hugging Face tag is more permissive than its terms.

Facet-0 predicts the force and torque its next move will produce rather than the pixels it will see. On five sub-millimetre assembly tasks the strongest vision-led baseline reached 15%.

Trenton City Council demanded 820 petition signatures by counting registered voters. The statutory threshold was 128, the board certified 336, and the court found clear and convincing evidence the council disregarded the law.

The reported price is the closing cash. Maximum consideration is $2.6bn once a $1.15bn EBITDA earnout is counted, at roughly 13x expected 2027 EBITDA for a company whose revenue Vertiv does not disclose.

The contracted number is 396 MW, not the roughly 1 GW being reported. The remaining 600 MW is an option exercisable by June 2030, and the load it is meant to serve is described in the release as a potential data centre.

Two mechanisms shipped on 1 September, not one. An advisory assessment appears in every review and counts for nothing; a binding approval, off by default, counts toward the required-approvals rule that teams show auditors.

CVE-2026-72649 turns a trained model artifact into remote code execution at CVSS 8.8. Unlike almost every other AI advisory published this week, Elastic names the versions that fix it.

CERT/CC published VU#456290 on 1 September, four weeks after notifying Hugging Face. There is no vendor statement, no patch, and the ordering is unchanged in the current release — eight versions past the stated ceiling.

Three of the four fixes merged in mid-May and were disclosed on 1 September. None of the four records carries a CVSS score, an affected version range, or a patched version to upgrade to.

A Frontiers in Science lead review from Imperial, Stanford, Yale and Harvard Law makes a deflationary case: the AI actually cleared for clinical use is old-fashioned deep-learning diagnostics, and generative AI has not entered routine practice.

Seven of the largest US health systems connected their Epic environments to ChatGPT. The entire safety case is a physician rating exercise OpenAI ran itself, with no published methodology and no peer review.

Agentic video understanding lets Gemini choose which moments to fetch instead of sampling frames at a fixed rate. That is selective attention, not compression — and the saving collapses when the evidence is spread thinly.

Enterprise Frontier Safeguards is presented as a product launch. The sequence says it is a reversal: Anthropic removed zero data retention at Fable 5, imposed a 30-day window, and bank CISOs pushed back.

The first OpenAI model to meet the Critical cybersecurity threshold refuses 91.5% of disallowed cyber requests. The complement is the story, and every figure is OpenAI grading its own work.

Anthropic's list price did not move: input stays at $10 per million tokens and output at $50. The entire saving comes from cache reads falling 75% to $0.25, which only materialises for workloads that reuse a prefix.

Thirteen affirmative defences filed in Boston on 1 September. The fair-use claim is the one being reported; the copyright-misuse defence, which asks the court to hold the majors' copyrights unenforceable, is the one that matters.
16h ago
A 20-page Statement of Interest under 28 U.S.C. § 517, filed into roughly twenty member cases at once, asks Judge Stein to reject the argument that training on copyrighted texts infringes — and attacks a sitting judge's reasoning by name.

SoftBank's power and data centre arm filed publicly for a Nasdaq listing with an 8.8 GW-IT contracted portfolio and a $439bn backlog. The prospectus states the operating figure in one sentence.

Broadcom's private-AI-cloud release names Nemotron 3, Gemma 4, cotomi, Qwen 3.7-Max and GLM 5.2 as tested. Two of the five are Chinese, running on customer-owned hardware.

Andreessen Horowitz expanded its fifth Growth fund from the $6.75bn it launched with in January. The new money is roughly $1.75bn, and the fund is not AI-specific.

The Beijing company began trading on the HKEX main board with a HK$12.71bn valuation at the offer price. Its product is 3D vision and motion planning for other people's arms.

A paper accepted to EMNLP 2026 Findings argues that a single attack-success-rate number measured in a default configuration says almost nothing about a deployed system.

A multi-agent framework with 70,000 stars picked up a command-injection and a path-traversal advisory. The vulnerable code is still in the default branch, and severity is listed as unknown.

CVE-2026-82217 let the model choose any file path and Agent Mode wrote it without a confirmation dialog. The commit that closed it is titled 'add Memory prompt capability'.

AB 2575 was refused passage in the Senate on 28 August, granted reconsideration 40-0, and cleared three days later by the bare minimum. It also changes who carries the liability.

SB 951 cleared the Senate 29-10 on the legislature's final day. It extends Cal/WARN to AI-driven layoffs and requires the notice to identify the system and its vendor.

The two companies deepened a partnership across AI infrastructure, local compute and cars. The investment instrument is debt with a conversion right, and MediaTek joins NVLink Fusion.
