## AI;DR

- OpenAI acquired Pierre Computer to bring specialized code storage into Codex and compete with GitHub. Pierre will keep its open-source projects, while the deal builds on OpenAI’s faster Pando backend. ([story](https://aidr.today/1a06ea0d?lang=en))
- Tencent released Hy4, an open-weight foundation model it says reaches the top tier of China’s open AI systems. The company also plans a faster Flash version to broaden its model offering. ([story](https://aidr.today/17a9a46d?lang=en))
- Nvidia RTX 5090 street prices reportedly topped $9,000 in the US, up 370% from launch. A memory shortage is pushing prices higher across the RTX 50 lineup and squeezing buyers. ([story](https://aidr.today/c23be745?lang=en))
- Google researchers are demanding greater freedom to tell the public what they know about AI. The push highlights tensions between internal research, transparency and the industry’s wider accountability. ([story](https://aidr.today/500d4820?lang=en))
- US voters and markets are turning against rapid AI infrastructure expansion, especially in Texas. Election results raised the prospect of tougher scrutiny or a moratorium, putting 13.3 GW of planned data centers at risk. ([story](https://aidr.today/2f6d48c3?lang=en))
- Nvidia improved MoE inference on a single DGX Spark through three optimizations, lifting Ant Group’s 124B Ling-3.0-flash decode throughput by 42.5%. Accuracy showed no detectable decline in testing. ([story](https://aidr.today/c170fbdb?lang=en))
- Investors have pulled $4 trillion from the Magnificent 7 since October 15 as crowded AI trades lost favor. Falling semiconductor stocks and rising corporate debt reflect growing doubts about AI buildout returns. ([story](https://aidr.today/f7735096?lang=en))
- The UK’s claim that AI could add £400 billion to the economy was largely based on Google’s estimate, and the AI minister now says the figure is under one-third as large. Slow adoption is blamed. ([story](https://aidr.today/0718a13b?lang=en))
- MIT researchers say GPT-6 Astra can inspect and rewrite another model’s weights directly, raising Qwen’s math accuracy from 7.9% to 48.1% by changing 0.016% of them. The method could simplify optimization but remains limited. ([story](https://aidr.today/da6bff43?lang=en))
- OpenAI is negotiating with Samsung and SK Hynix for more HBM to support Stargate, as demand already exceeds available supply by more than twofold. SK Hynix shares rose on hopes for additional orders. ([story](https://aidr.today/a95215d9?lang=en))
- Ai2 and Google are developing NeuralGCM+, an open-source climate model combining physics with AI to simulate the atmosphere and ocean together. The goal is faster, more reliable long-term projections. ([story](https://aidr.today/a9272d99?lang=en))
- TeraWulf secured a credit backstop from Google for its Anthropic-linked Kentucky data center. The support should help finance the power-intensive project, which is scheduled to come online in the second half of 2027. ([story](https://aidr.today/ca5c9414?lang=en))
