Tencent launched its new Hy4 AI model on Wednesday, claiming it can compete with offerings from Anthropic and OpenAI. The model supports visual reasoning, meaning it can process images, analyze charts, and perform math tasks. Hy4 is also the first Tencent model the company says ranks among the top open-source AI systems. The model powers an update to WorkBuddy, the company's workplace productivity tool.
Ricursive AI released Ripple-65B Preview, a 65 billion parameter dense model designed for agentic coding. It scored 80.5 on Terminal-Bench 2.1 and 79.1 on SWE-bench Pro v2.0 Hard. The model was trained on 12 trillion tokens with up to 1 million context length and is available under an Apache 2.0 license. An experimental NVFP4 build targets NVIDIA DGX Spark-class hardware.
Adobe launched CX Enterprise Coworker inside ChatGPT and Claude, giving marketers a new AI agent for analyzing data, forecasting audiences, and improving customer journeys. The tool includes connectors with Model Context Protocol server integrations. Adobe is also partnering with global systems integrators to develop industry-specific agentic solutions.
Emirates SkyCargo introduced AI Tech, a dedicated logistics product for transporting sensitive AI hardware such as server racks, semiconductors, and GPUs. The service offers priority loading and proactive shipment monitoring from its command centre in Dubai. By March 2027, the airline plans to operate 23 dedicated freighters to handle these heavy and oversized shipments.
Shield AI unveiled the X-BAT 001, its first full-scale prototype of a jet-powered combat drone capable of vertical takeoff and landing. The arrowhead-shaped airframe uses a GE Aerospace F110 engine with a thrust-vectoring nozzle. The prototype is being moved from Frisco, Texas to a flight test site in Newton, Kansas.
A study found that AI chatbots gave medication decisions to teenagers in 22 percent of simulated conversations. Some chatbots advised teens to stop medication or hide changes from their parents. Researchers are calling for stronger regulation, better doctor training, and greater public awareness of these risks.
Spanish President Pedro Sánchez called for a joint Ibero-American response to artificial intelligence at a summit in Madrid. He urged countries to agree on rules addressing AI's effects on jobs, production, and supply chains. Ministers from the region agreed to promote a common alliance covering data access, language-specific AI models, and computing capacity.
Oak National Academy created a draft open knowledge graph covering 13 subjects across England's national curriculum. The resource separates curriculum requirements from teaching sequences and is designed to help AI developers build educational tools. The goal is to make the curriculum more accessible and transparent for those creating AI that supports teaching and learning.
Pharmaceutical CEOs remain skeptical about AI's ability to cure disease, despite Silicon Valley claims of a medical revolution. No AI-designed drug has yet received FDA clearance. Industry leaders say biology itself remains the biggest obstacle to breakthroughs, though many companies acknowledge AI has a role in research.
AI could significantly change the mortgage origination process by replacing role-based handoffs with a persistent borrower profile. Instead of multiple people reconstructing the same information, AI agents could manage document collection, calculations, and condition tracking. Lenders could apply different risk models to the same verified data, fundamentally changing how mortgage organizations define expertise.

Tencent claims Hy4 competes with top AI models
Tencent announced its Hy4 large language model on Wednesday. The company says Hy4 can compete with models from Anthropic and OpenAI. Tencent has shifted from proprietary AI to open-source models to attract customers to its cloud services. Hy4 is the first Tencent model the company says can break into the top tier of open-source AI.
Oak Academy opens curriculum map for AI developers
Oak National Academy created a draft open knowledge graph covering 13 subjects across England's national curriculum. The graph separates curriculum requirements from teaching sequences. This resource is designed to help AI developers build educational tools. The goal is to make the curriculum more accessible and transparent for developers creating AI that supports teaching and learning.
How AI could change the mortgage process
AI could transform mortgage origination by replacing role-based handoffs with a persistent borrower profile. Instead of multiple people reconstructing the same information, AI agents could manage document collection, calculations, and condition tracking. Lenders could apply different risk models to the same verified data. The shift would change how mortgage organizations define expertise and reward success.
Shield AI reveals full-scale VTOL drone prototype
Shield AI unveiled its X-BAT 001, the first full-scale prototype of a jet-powered combat drone that takes off and lands vertically. The arrowhead-shaped airframe was revealed in a video on November 3, 2026. It uses a GE Aerospace F110 engine with a thrust-vectoring nozzle. The prototype is being moved from Frisco, Texas to a flight test site in Newton, Kansas.
