Moonshot and ZAI are reportedly approaching the performance of models from OpenAI and Anthropic. The models can reportedly build passable websites at a cost 75% lower than Claude, highlighting potential advantages in cost-sensitive coding workflows.
Anthropic plans to let business customers retain data for its most capable AI models on their own cloud infrastructure. The planned safety system, expected later this year, would still require a 30-day retention period while moving storage control to customers.
Ramp has launched Router, an AI model routing service that allows users and companies to access and switch between multiple large language models. The service is available through an API.
Tactile robotics is expanding from sensor hardware into datasets, foundation models, and evaluation benchmarks. Research shows touch improves physical reasoning and robot success, but inconsistent sensor formats create major cross-device transfer challenges.
Kuaishou’s Kling AI raised nearly $3 billion at a post-money valuation of $18 billion, with Kuaishou’s stake falling to 68.33% and a potential Hong Kong IPO targeted by 2031. Despite strong revenue growth, Kling faces slowing momentum, talent departures, and intense competition from ByteDance’s Seedance and open-source video models.
Callosum has raised $100 million in early financing to develop software that matches specific AI tasks with suitable models and chips. Backers include the UK’s public AI fund.
MiniMax Design uses an Agent to orchestrate multiple models for professional content production. Its positioning reflects a broader shift in AI video competition from model capabilities alone toward integrated products and measurable commercial value.
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 stabilized in Q2 2026 while expanding its AI strategy across models, chips, and robotics. Its MiMo-V2.5 model led OpenRouter call charts, the Xuanjie chip passed mass verification, and a humanoid robot began factory operations with a reported 98% success rate.
OpenAI says it has temporarily slowed scaling, paused reinforcement learning for two weeks, and placed its largest planned frontier RL run on hold while it strengthens safety evaluations. It will also offer zero data retention to eligible API customers starting in September.
