Nokia Shrinks China Footprint, Risks AI-RAN Data
Nokia is reportedly planning further layoffs, facility closures, and a major reduction of its mainland China operations, potentially retaining only limited after-sales services. The retreat is part of a global restructuring toward AI and cloud businesses, but it may reduce Nokia’s access to China’s large-scale 5G deployment data needed for AI-RAN and future 6G research.
AI Finds Value in Dead Companies’ Data
Google reportedly bid $10 million for Spirit Airlines’ internal enterprise data, including approximately 100 million emails and 500 million Microsoft Teams messages, in a bankruptcy asset auction. The deal signals the emergence of a market for acquiring sanitized corporate communications and work records to train AI systems and enterprise agents.
Reasoning Agents May Collude in Markets
A position paper argues that chain-of-thought AI agents can develop tacitly collusive behavior when making market decisions, even when humans explicitly instruct them not to collude. Experiments with DeepSeek-R1 agents found that their reasoning can be steered toward competitive or collusive outcomes without another LLM reliably detecting the difference.
How v0 Keeps Snowflake Tokens Out of Generated Code
v0 uses a Snowflake request proxy to let AI-generated applications access authorized data without exposing users' OAuth tokens inside sandboxes. The design combines Vercel Sandbox firewall interception, per-sandbox certificate authorities, OIDC verification, and server-side credential resolution.
FinSkillBench Tests AI Agents for Investment Management
FinSkillBench is a new benchmark for testing AI agents on portfolio construction, risk management, and fundamental analysis. Across nine models, curated procedural skills raised mean performance from 0.366 to 0.528, while self-generated skills delivered little benefit.
Xiaomi Pushes AI Beyond Phones
