China is being urged to take the lead in creating global AI rules, with a Beijing-based start-up, Moonshot AI, recently releasing the core components of its AI model, Kimi K3, on the internet. This move has sparked interest in the US, with some business leaders attracted to the freedom and lower cost of open-weight models like Kimi K3.
Nvidia, a key player in the AI industry, has seen its stock surge in recent months, with its market value over $500 billion. However, billionaire Mark Cuban and hedge fund manager Michael Burry are warning that the AI boom is dangerously reliant on Nvidia, comparing the current situation to the dot-com bubble.
In funding news, AI security startup Onyx has raised $113 million in a Series B funding round, valuing the company at $640 million. Onyx develops a platform that enables enterprises to deploy AI agents securely and at scale, working with several Fortune 500 customers and partnering with Anthropic. UK-based Monorale AI has also completed an initial £250,000 SEIS phase of its £4 million investment round.
Researchers have introduced Messier, a unified corpus of 957,253 records that span 30 benchmarks, 714 agents, 11,891 tasks, and 74,205 verifiers. This aims to provide a standardized framework for evaluating AI agents and benchmarking their capabilities.

A Chinese institute suggests that China should take the lead in creating global AI rules. This comes after a Beijing-based start-up, Moonshot AI, released the core components of its AI model, Kimi K3, on the internet. The institute believes that China should fill the global 'vacuum' in AI regulations. AI governance has become a new area of competition between China and the US.
What is open-weight AI?
Open-weight AI is a type of AI model where the parameters that guide the AI's answers are made public. This allows users to download, tweak, and customize the model for their own purposes. China's latest high-powered AI model, Kimi K3, has made its weights public, turning heads in Silicon Valley. The freedom and lower cost of open-weight models are attracting business leaders in the west.
Mark Cuban and Michael Burry warn on AI boom
Billionaire Mark Cuban and hedge fund manager Michael Burry are warning that the AI boom is dangerously reliant on Nvidia. They compare the current situation to the dot-com bubble, saying that Nvidia is 'funding everyone and anyone' like IPOs during that time. The two are not alone in their skepticism, with other investors and experts also raising concerns about the AI boom.

Silicon Valley benefits from cheap Chinese AI
Chinese President Xi Jinping is promoting an open approach to AI, which could benefit American tech companies. Cheap Chinese AI may be the best thing to happen to Silicon Valley, according to Alistair Barr.
AI and elderly scams
Senators Rick Scott and Kirsten Gillibrand discuss how AI is impacting the senior community and the rise of AI fraud and scams targeting the elderly. They also talk about The CLEAR LABELS Act.
Bitcoin is the only AI trade AI can't destroy
Wall Street veteran Jordi Visser says Michael Saylor was the first to recognize that Bitcoin is the only AI trade that artificial intelligence can't kill. Visser believes that AI will destroy competitive 'moats' and allow for the near-instant replication of products and business models.
GlobalFoundries reaches agreement with US Department of Commerce
GlobalFoundries has signed an agreement with the US Department of Commerce to boost research on silicon photonics, a light-based technology that moves data more efficiently inside AI systems. The Commerce Department will award GlobalFoundries $300 million to advance manufacturing.
HOBA: Hierarchical On-Policy Bidding Agents
Researchers have proposed HOBA, a hierarchical reinforcement learning framework for adaptive online advertising. HOBA decouples strategic reasoning, model selection, and bid execution across three time scales.
