GPT-5.6 series launched—Sol, Terra, and Luna models debut with tiered safety controls and U.S. government access review. NVIDIA tops global data center Ethernet switch market (21.5% share, +193% YoY), advancing its shift to full-stack AI infrastructure.
The GPT-5.6 series—comprising three models—has officially launched, yet the entire suite has been designated a 'high-risk AI system' by the U.S. government and placed under the 'White House Safety Lock'; meanwhile, surging demand for high-end compute and memory chips has driven electronics industry profits up 103.9% year-on-year [3][5].
AI agents are rapidly evolving from tools into organization-wide productivity engines; DeepSeek, OpenAI, and Meitu are intensifying investment in agent infrastructure and end-to-end delivery. Meanwhile, physical AI foundation models, seamless edge hardware, and real-world energy storage validation are key breakthroughs for domestic AI adoption.
AI agents are evolving from tools into 'digital workers': over 90% of OpenAI's internal coding is now handled by Codex. Meitu, VolcEngine, and Tencent Hunyuan are rolling out unified policy frameworks, delivery-first AI, and full-stack inference optimization—signaling a full industry shift toward agent-native architecture and outcome-driven delivery.
AI is rapidly evolving from tool-like assistants into autonomous, outcome-delivering Agents: over 90% of OpenAI's internal workload is now handled by Codex [1]; Meitu is redefining imaging productivity through 'delivery-first AI'; and Ant Group's Afu Health AI anchors its health services to quantifiable, 'jin'-level (Chinese unit of weight, ~0.5 kg) KPIs [2][3].
OpenAI Codex and Claude Code simultaneously launch Record & Replay and Artifact features—ushering AI coding into a new visual collaboration era: recordable, reusable, and shareable.
