AI won't become a real coworker until it stops answering and starts finishing tasks
A survey paper by Tencent and several Chinese universities traces the path from chatbot to "digital colleague." AI systems won't become reliable coworkers, the researchers argue, until they finish entire tasks in persistent work environments instead of just generating answers. The key lies in combining persistent workspaces with reusable skills. The article AI won't become a real coworker until it stops answering and starts finishing tasks appeared first on The Decoder .
Coinbase joins the rush to Chinese AI models as Western labs face a pricing stress test
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong is switching his company to Chinese AI models like GLM 5.2 and Kimi 2.7. An automated routing system picks the best model for each request based on task and price, and better caching pushed the hit rate from 5 to 60 percent. Coinbase has cut its AI spending in half even as token usage keeps climbing.

Nest’s quest to fix your thermostat
The founding story of Nest is pretty much a perfect tech myth. A legendary product maker (in this case, Tony Fadell) helps create one of the most successful products ever (the iPhone) and then rides off into the sunset to enjoy the rest of his life, only to have an experience that drags him back […]

Only three AI models finished above starting capital in a 500-day startup survival test
Researchers at Princeton University built CEO-Bench, a test where AI agents have to run a fictional software company for 500 simulated days. Most current models go broke, and a simple rule-based heuristic with no AI beats nearly all of them.

Chinese cybersecurity firm builds AI tools to rival Mythos and frames the race as cyber-nuclear deterrence
360 founder Zhou Hongyi presents two AI security tools designed to compete with Anthropic's Mythos. One has already flagged 3,432 vulnerabilities. Zhou admits Chinese models trail Western ones by 20 to 30 percent, but compares Mythos to "cyber nuclear weapons" and calls for China to build its own strategic deterrent.

The generic headline and the lazy slogan
If you can swap your slogan with a competitor’s without changing the meaning of either brand, then your slogan is meaningless. For example, “You belong here” is not a positioning statement for a college seeking new students. It’s just noise. It also doesn’t help to mix weasel words with more weasel words and then add […]
Sina's open model VibeThinker-3B aims to show reasoning compresses well but factual knowledge doesn't
Sina Weibo's VibeThinker-3B has just three billion parameters but matches models like DeepSeek V3.2 and Kimi K2.5 on math and coding benchmarks. Those models are up to 333 times larger. The secret isn't size but multi-stage post-training. The researchers propose a hypothesis based on their findings: logical reasoning compresses well into small models, but broad world knowledge does not.

TMD’s keyless bike lock is a $280 solution to a $60 problem
I've seen lots of so-called "smart" bike locks over the years, but none so far could justify the added cost. A newcomer that got its start securing ATMs for banks is trying to change that. There's nothing wholly unique about the TMD Chain Lock, but the combination of materials, performance, and insurance-friendly ART-2 certification makes […]
