Tencent Hy’s pace of evolution is getting wild.
Three major releases in just six months — basically a big move every two months.
The new Hy4 preview brings major upgrades in model size, context length, and training data. With both pre-training and post-training getting serious attention, it’s clearly pushing into the top tier of open-source models.
What I like most is the “preview first, iterate fast” approach, with real-world feedback directly driving development.
Very curious to see what comes next. @TencentAI_News\n\nQT @TencentAI_News: Introducing Hy4 preview
◆ Open weights: 770B MoE, 49B active, 1M context ◆ Built for real work: code, docs and analysis, scientific research ◆ Hy4 preview helped optimize its own training pipeline, kernels included ◆ We ship upgrades, not price hikes

SITUATION EXPLAINED: The Trump administration is closing the loophole that lets Chinese labs rent US chips.
• A small group inside Commerce is building a slimmed-down replacement for the Biden-era AI Diffusion Rule, which the administration scrapped in 2025 • The target is Chinese AI firms accessing advanced chips remotely through data centers abroad, in countries including Thailand and Singapore • The current regime is upside down: the US now permits H200 sales to China while Beijing forbids its own firms from buying them • Nvidia's share of China's AI chip market fell from 95% in 2023 to 8% in 2026, while Huawei climbed to roughly 50-60%

Today, a16z is announcing the Machine Age Fund, a new $1.1 billion fund for founders rebuilding what intelligence runs on: chips, memory, networking, systems software, power, and the machines that bring AI into the physical world.
Ben Horowitz, Martin Casado, and Raghu Raghuram see a new economic law. A thousand engineers cannot erase a two-year software lead, but a massive GPU cluster can turn capital directly into capability. Models are improving faster than the memory, interconnect, power, and cooling beneath them.
The founder map is changing with it. Some of the strongest teams are moving from pure software into complex hardware because every constraint in the stack is now a company-building opportunity.
In this conversation with Erik Torenberg, they explain what founders can build, why the opportunity reaches all the way down to the physical stack, and why a16z created a fund for it.

RT @patrick_oshag: Neil Movva (@neilmovva) started his career at Nvidia, working on GPUs and kernels, and has an unusually deep understanding of inference, from software to chips to power.
We spend a lot of time on each of those layers, how they connect, and where the important tradeoffs are.
What makes this conversation special is how detailed it is (like a 401-level class), yet Neil makes it remarkably clear and easy to follow.
Today he runs Sail Research, a company building infrastructure for agents to make tokens as cheap as possible.
We discuss:
- Latency versus throughput
- Why there are no bad chips, only bad pricing
- The end of kernel engineering
- Buying chips and power no one else wants
- New chip architectures
- Nvidia lore + his contrarian view of the company
- Open source and the frontier labs

SpaceXAI has built an entire Grok Bot Guides library showing how people are actually using AI agents as real teammates
These are practical playbooks from people already running Grok Bot for:
• Mobile app development • Product management • Design • Enterprise GTM • Managing multiple teams of agents
And these are not just chatbot workflows
Each Grok Bot can have its own role, memory, cloud computer, connected tools, recurring routines and learned skills, then hand work directly to other specialized bots
One example runs a six-bot mobile game studio across analytics, creative, engineering, infrastructure and bug fixing
Another has a PM running a Chief of Staff, engineering manager, five engineering agents, data analyst, product agent and recruiter
There are even setups where entire projects get their own channel, roster of bots and Notion board, basically organizing AI agents like a human team
This is probably one of the most useful resources SpaceXAI has published for understanding what working with a real team of AI agents actually looks like

RT @rohanpaul_ai: The AI detector industry should be very uncomfortable reading this MIT report.
The strongest institutional rejections yet, direct from MIT.
"we recommend against relying on AI detectors. "
"As it risks an arms race in which students respond to automated detection by using increasingly powerful “AI humanizers” to remove signals that AI detectors are cued to catch. The result: a lot of effort on both sides that in the end serves no one."
The report argues that mixed human/AI writing is difficult to detect, detectors can be evaded by “AI humanizers,” false positives can harm students, and heavy policing creates distrust.
AI detection systems may also mistake the writing of non-native English speakers or neurodivergent students for text generated by AI. Even low rates of false positives can put students on edge and cause serious individual consequences."

RT @mardehaym: A PE operating partner asked us to build production AI agents inside a portfolio company's billing system, processing real healthcare claims under HIPAA.
Two people hand-wrote every rule in their claims engine across 300+ denial codes and payer logic that changes quarterly.
Four months later, seven production agents handle it with zero patient data exposure.
First month, we didn't touch a model. We mapped their data: where it sits and what's missing, so agents reason from structured facts instead of guessing.
I've watched teams skip this step across dozens of engagements. They bolt a model onto the product, watch it hallucinate over unstructured inputs, and decide AI isn't ready for their industry. The data work is what makes it ready.
We built an enrichment layer that assembles 34 dynamic variables per claim before any LLM sees it, pre-computed and versioned so the agent receives ranked facts instead of searching for context.
Every agent follows one pattern: pre-compute context, strip all patient data before the model sees it, validate output against a strict schema, let deterministic code accept or reject the action. If the output falls outside the allowlist, the system fails closed.
Seven agents, each locked to a single workflow like denied claim follow-up or billing reconciliation, each running its own enrichment payload.
Then we built the eval harness.
Every agent runs against a curated test suite before any update reaches production. When a model provider ships a new version or payer logic changes, the harness catches regression before a single live claim is affected. The flagship agent reconciles denials to the penny: 59 out of 60 on the eval set.
Most teams launch an agent and hope it keeps working. We launch one and prove it does on every deployment.
We route calls across two model providers. Swapping one changes nothing in the output because the eval harness verifies it.
Model integration was the shortest line item in the four-month build.
The operating partner now benchmarks the rest of the portfolio against this system.
That's the line between a portfolio company running AI and one still running demos.

Jensen Huang just admitted the biggest AI labs can't borrow money like normal companies.
So Nvidia signs for them, and they spend it on Nvidia chips.
Nvidia reported Wednesday and the numbers are absurd:
Revenue of 59.7 billion, the most profitable quarter any public company has EVER posted.
And Huang just told Fox Business that every chip Nvidia can make next year is already sold.
Here's why this matters the most:
Huang wrote this himself about his own customers: "Frontier AI labs have extraordinary demand for training and inference compute, but many are growing faster than their balance sheets and long-term credit profiles can support."
Then: They "still lack the decades-long infrastructure contracts and investment-grade financing capacity needed to secure the AI factory infrastructure independently."
Put simply: His customers can't get the loans.
So Nvidia signs for them.
There's a compute campus going up in Ohio with OpenAI as the tenant. Nvidia has tied roughly $105 billion in commitments to it. OpenAI's existing and planned commitments now come to about 12 gigawatts of Nvidia compute.
CFO Colette Kress told analysts Nvidia will also provide selective credit enhancement for nearly 2 gigawatts of compute at a second frontier lab. She wouldn't say which one.
Nvidia put up to 350 billion, and Anthropic agreed to buy up to a gigawatt of Grace Blackwell and Vera Rubin systems in the same deal.
And Nvidia isn't only guaranteeing these companies. It OWNS pieces of them.
This week's filing shows 47.9 billion already sitting in private companies as of late July.
Now here's where it gets really insane:
Last week, Huang sat on a CNBC set surrounded by six of Wall Street's biggest firms. Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs and KKR. They signed a memorandum to mobilise up to $500 billion in outside capital for AI data centres.
Nvidia kept the option to backstop up to a quarter of those deals.
And Huang used that stage to announce that Nvidia GPUs are now an asset class. Pension and credit funds can now lend against graphics cards the way they lend against office towers.
Kress saw the accusation coming and got ahead of it on the earnings call: "We recognise the scale of this support, and we know some will call this circular financing. We see it differently."
But look at the two things Huang says about the same companies.
On the earnings call he said AI has hit its inflection point, that the tokens are productive and profitable, and that compute is now revenue.
But he also said those same labs can't secure investment-grade financing on their own.
A business that's inflecting into profit is exactly the business a bank lends to. Banks lend against cash flow every day. But Nvidia‘s guarantee exists because something in that first story isn't landing with the people whose job is pricing risk.
Kress does have a real answer to this though. She said the second lab's credit support only complements capacity it already secured on its own, without Nvidia backing it. Vendor financing is also old and legal. Cisco did it and GE built a finance arm on it.
Huang's case is that Nvidia understands these businesses better than any lender could, and he says the risk is low and his only regret is not investing more and sooner.
He may be completely right.
But one thing is certain:
Nvidia guarantees the paper. The paper buys the chips. Nvidia books the sale. Then Nvidia tells you the order book is full for a year.
That order book is the entire argument for a $5 trillion company.
And Jensen Huang just explained, in his own words, that his customers couldn't have written those orders without him.
Isn’t this suspicious?
