Taiwan's prosecutors have detained an Nvidia employee in connection with the alleged illegal export of Super Micro AI servers to China, according to Bloomberg and Reuters. The article Taiwan detains Nvidia employee in widening China chip smuggling probe appeared first on The Decoder.
Read original →Nvidia is investing a substantial sum into Safe Superintelligence (SSI), the AI lab founded by former OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, shifting the company away from Google TPU chips. This investment signals competitive consolidation in AI compute infrastructure and demonstrates Nvidia's strategy to secure relationships with leading AI research labs beyond OpenAI.
Read original →Microsoft's Windows 11 Insider builds are featuring new settings and capabilities in 2026, allowing early preview of upcoming operating system features. Operating system updates drive adoption of new hardware capabilities and software frameworks across enterprise and consumer segments.
Read original →The Delhi High Court has handed OpenAI a major win in its copyright fight with news agency ANI. For the first time, a court has classified AI training as private use. ANI undermined its own case by citing articles published after the models were trained. The main trial is still pending. The article Delhi High Court hands OpenAI a win by rejecting major Indian news agency's copyright injunction appeared first on The Decoder.

Read original →METR introduced the "expenditure horizon" metric to quantify the cost-effectiveness threshold at which AI agents become more expensive than human labor. This metric is critical for investors and technologists evaluating whether deployed AI systems offer genuine economic returns versus continued reliance on human workers.
Read original →A former NASA robotics chief explains that space-based AI data centers would operate by collecting electricity in space and ejecting waste heat into space, with only data transmitted to Earth. This concept addresses earthbound datacenter constraints around power and cooling, potentially enabling unprecedented computational scale for AI infrastructure.
Read original →Cursor asked its upgraded agent swarm and its predecessor to rebuild SQLite in Rust using only the documentation, with no source code or internet access. Every configuration of the new system, which separates planners from workers, eventually scored 100 percent on the test suite. The old swarm choked on merge conflicts of its own making. The article Cursor's agent swarm suggests cheaper models can handle most coding when frontier models plan the work appeared first on The Decoder.
Read original →Anthropic's Claude Opus 5 scored 30.2 percent on ARC-AGI-3, nearly quadrupling GPT-5.6 Sol's previous record of 7.8 percent. The benchmark's developers say the model independently formulated reflection equations, a behavior they had never seen from another model, and attribute to stronger logical reasoning. The article Anthropic's Opus 5 blows past Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol on the benchmark designed to measure real intelligence appeared first on The Decoder.
Read original →In summer 2025, OpenAI internally flagged GPT-5 as high-risk because it helped users create biological hazards, but downgraded the model's risk rating that fall. According to the Wall Street Journal, some users got step-by-step instructions for making poisons and biological weapons. Hundreds asked for that kind of information. The article Hundreds asked ChatGPT for poison and bioweapon recipes and some got step-by-step high school level guides appeared first on The Decoder.
Read original →The Trump administration is planning targeted bans on Chinese AI models rather than a blanket ban. After public pressure, OpenAI and Google DeepMind signed an open letter opposing regulation of open-weight models, yet OpenAI and Anthropic continue to lobby privately for those same restrictions amid security concerns and powerful business interests. The article US reportedly favors selective bans over blanket restrictions on Chinese open weight models citing security concerns appeared first on The Decoder.
Read original →An ACM survey of 763 computer science educators from 49 countries shows that 68 percent have already changed their exams because of AI, shifting toward oral exams, proctored tests, and project-based work. Teaching is moving from writing code to understanding it. But nearly half of respondents say they lack proven examples for integrating AI into their courses. The article The AI coding tutor paradox grows as educators scramble to rethink how they test real skills appeared first on The Decoder.
