- Astra can natively read and write neural-network weights, performing better than expected from humans or conventional algorithms. The approach was used to improve Qwen. ([story](https://aidr.today/f9ecf66c?lang=en))
- Oracle plans to raise $20B through $10B of stock and $10B of unsecured bonds to fund AI data centers for customers including OpenAI and repay debt. Its shares fell over 6% after the plan.
- LongCat-2.5 is a 1.6T-parameter model with native multimodality for agentic tasks. Its training used domestic chips throughout, highlighting China’s push for local AI infrastructure.
- Deep Principle released Hydrogen-1.0, a 753B open-weight scientific model post-trained from GLM-5.3. It scored 38.3% on FrontierScience-Research for scientific discovery. ([story](https://aidr.today/48acfc78?lang=en))
- Momentic launched Mo, an AI QA engineer that tests apps in plain English and maintains those tests. It says the agent has found 117,010 bugs, with reproduction steps and evidence. ([story](https://aidr.today/570f5e1e?lang=en))
- Investors are urging Anthropic to price its IPO at $1.5T-$1.6T, below the previously discussed $2T, citing a tech-stock selloff and room for a first-day gain. Google could buy up to $10B in shares. ([story](https://aidr.today/f511415a?lang=en))
- OpenAI’s next GPT will be based on the internal model that solved the Navier-Stokes equations. It deployed 10,000 agents for about four days, and Sam Altman said the model will be public soon.
- The BAAJA’s ratepayer protections would make data centers pay over $50B for power transmission over 10 years. State rules requiring them to fund generation could add $100B or more.
- Anthropic warned it is very close to recursive self-improvement, or RSI, when AI becomes capable of training itself and rapidly accelerating its capabilities. The prospect concerns AI doomers. ([story](https://aidr.today/ca204e1c?lang=en))
- Sources told the New York Times that Anthropic expects more than 3.5GW of compute capacity in 2026. The company is expanding direct hardware procurement to include Nvidia and AMD.
