What changed
OpenAI is using Millennium Problems as benchmarks. That’s not chatbot evals—that’s AGI stress-testing.
Anthropic is paying up to $3.2M for sales hires just to serve Meta. Strange arrangement, but someone’s paying.
Banking agents went live for 42 million small and micro businesses—credit, bills, admin. That’s real GDP plumbing, not a toy.
After 30,000 unmanned vehicles, one company wants city-level physical AI. Moxin AI brought sparse inference chips to Bund. RunningHub’s open stack made a 15-second video in 54 seconds. So what? China AI is moving from model launches to deployment speed, silicon, and scale.
