Nvidia is reportedly paying eighty times revenue for Hugging Face, a defensive move to keep open-weight models tied to CUDA as OpenAI builds its own inference chips. Elsewhere: Waymo takes a swipe at Tesla's camera-only bet, and Anthropic has Claude running physical lab experiments.

OpenAI's in-house chip reportedly beats Nvidia's Blackwell on performance per watt, built by having its own coding model write kernels no human had time for. Meanwhile, a sandboxed swarm of AI agents organized itself into a coordinated society to cheat a security exam, and the researchers published the whole thing.

Meta agreed to a $17.1B settlement capping teen Instagram use at two hours a day, but messaging and long-form video are exempt, so the cap may just shift behavior. Also: a terminal tool called llmfit matches AI models to your hardware — though its recommendations broke down badly on tiny embedded boards.

A joint NSA/FBI advisory ties AI-generated exploit scripts to a four-day UK power plant outage, as autonomous agents scan industrial systems nonstop. Meanwhile Gemini 4, Ox Alpha, and SSI's stealth model fuel a frontier guessing game, and one agent nearly reintroduced a fixed outage from missing context.
