DeepSeek's new Search and Fetch APIs cost $0.75 per 1,000 successful calls. Developers praise the price, but early tests put it behind Exa and Parallel, and Hacker News commenters flag empty results on sensitive queries, no zero data retention, and a data path to China.
SemiAnalysis says more than 24GW across 40 campuses is in advanced construction, most of it due in 2027, and calls for +50GW in a single year. The same week, the FT counted 47+ stalled US projects. The two numbers measure different stages of the pipeline.
OpenAI sells four GPT-6 models. What GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6.1 Sol, GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna cost ($50, $10, $10 and $0.50 per million output tokens), where Sol and Luna work in ChatGPT, how OpenAI says to choose, and when the older GPT-6 Sol still makes sense.
Fourteen real AI tools for game developers, grouped by job: engine assistants for Unity, Roblox and Godot, coding agents, 2D art, 3D models, animation, audio, NPCs and QA. What each does, who it suits, its main limit, and prices only where we verified them on the vendor's page.
Meta's Muse, OpenAI's Dots, Grok and Instinct keep hitting walls at Amazon, Delta, Yelp, Chase and Schwab, and 150+ Chinese apps bar ByteDance's Doubao. Who blocks agents, why, which blocks are accidents, and what it means if you use one.
DHS published FASCSA Exclusion and Removal Order #2026-01 requiring civilian agencies to exclude DeepSeek and affiliates from procurements and remove DeepSeek products and third-party DeepSeek-based services from agency IT, citing PRC data-transfer and threat-vector concerns.
Microsoft announced controls in Microsoft 365 E7 and Project Perception that score each AI agent's risk and can make it read-only, require human approval, or shut it down. It now detects 60 agent types, up from 25. E7 costs $99 per user per month.
Anthropic says junior roles fell from 27% to 9% of its technical hires as agent hours grew. What the report found, what other labor data shows for young workers, what hiring managers now screen for, and practical steps for anyone trying to land a first job in AI.
The Verge reports Democrats could bring new scrutiny to AI companies if they win a chamber. What committee control allows under House and Senate rules, which lawmakers are named, and why Meta, OpenAI and Anthropic are in focus.
DeepSeek priced Search and Fetch at $0.75 per 1,000 successful requests, put them on the same API key as its models, and made server-side Search and Fetch calls through Claude Code and Codex free for DeepSeek API users until November 1. That is how agent search becomes a commodity.
ElevenLabs Instant Soundtracks scores an uploaded video with original music and timed sound effects. Available in ElevenCreative, ElevenMusic, and the Studio API with add_sfx, separate_tracks, and use_audio_as_reference. Limits: 10 videos, 200 MB, 10 minutes.
A Chinese-speaking hacker used Cairn AI agents to try more than 1,200 websites and break into the sites of 100+ companies, including Deere, SharkNinja and Cummins, Reuters reported. NorForge's researcher estimates the tokens cost about $5,000, or roughly $50 per successful hack.
Google's Gemini agent works inside Gmail, Docs and Sheets, runs tasks for hours or days, and can join your team as a coworker agent with its own email. It is in private preview. Google says it comes at no extra charge with Gemini Enterprise; Workspace plans list from $7 to $35 per user per month.
Santander's AI Lab says smaller, specialized models cut serving costs from around €5 to about €0.03 per interaction in selected experiments. Here is what it built with NVIDIA, what the three-year deal covers, and what the numbers do not show.
doubleAI's Maxwell sits inside running Python and PyTorch code, swaps in faster machine code, and attaches a formal proof that it behaves the same. Here are its published speedups, how it compares with Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, the $220M company behind it, and what is still unknown.
EdenLive lets a game engine or coding agent run the world while a 5B or 14B open model repaints its rough proxy video in real time. VAST reports 29.8 FPS at 1280 x 704 on one H100 and about 24.7 FPS on an RTX 5090. Here is how it works, what it needs, and what the license allows.
Ant Group's inclusionAI has published Ling-3.1-flash, a 560B MoE with 25B active parameters, under an MIT tag. Its own charts put it behind Claude Opus 5 on SWE-bench Pro but ahead on HealthBench Professional. Self-hosting needs about 574 GB of FP8 weights and eight H200s.
Black Forest Labs' FLUX 3 Image lets you place elements with bounding boxes, edit one part of an image, use up to 10 references and render in 4K. Klein, the 5.6B open-weights version, starts at $0.008 per image, and its INT8 build runs on RTX GPUs with 8 GB of VRAM.
MiniMax says Space Bunny, the stealth model that topped OpenRouter and OpenCode, was an early M3.1 Flash. Testers praise its speed and visual coding, others report loops and four-hour tasks, and early prices online were wrong. Official: $0.15 in, $0.60 out.
Jim Keller's RISC-V AI chip company closed a $1.5B Series E led by Trace Capital and Innovation X, more than doubling its value. It will deploy Galaxy servers at scale and expand the CPU and AI IP it licenses to Samsung and LG.
