Zhongji Innolight’s buy-back plan – worth as much as 8 billion yuan (US$1.2 billion) in the run-up to its offshore listing in Hong Kong – may give global investors an anchor for pricing, as the Chinese supplier of US hyperscalers seeks to pre-empt a shaky start to trading in the city. The Chinese maker of optical transceivers used in artificial intelligence (AI) data centres said it would repurchase its Shenzhen-listed shares for between 4 billion and 8 billion yuan, through its own or borrowed.

Rules aimed only at downstream applications can make AI products less safe. Policymakers should hold both model makers and the companies building on them accountable.

In June, the U.S. government required Anthropic to restrict access to its two newest models by foreign nationals, citing national security and cybersecurity concerns. Unable to verify users’ nationality in real time, Anthropic temporarily withdrew access to the models for all users. A few weeks later, the Chinese company Moonshot AI released its Kimi K3 model, and then published its full model weights . Together, these episodes have reignited a familiar debate: How far can governments go in requ

This article presents a defense-in-depth approach for securing Model Context Protocol (MCP) deployments in production. It outlines four architectural control layers: safe execution, management infrastructure, outbound trust, and semantic integrity, arguing that production security requires enforcement beyond the gateway at the earliest trustworthy control points.

But that’s exactly what the company 1X promised when it showed off a pair of new, impressively dexterous (and, to some,…

My first startup was a textbook-buyback service I founded along with several data nerd friends while at Johns Hopkins. Each week, we’d cram $10,000 of cash in a backpack (in retrospect, a terrible idea in urban Baltimore), put out a table on campus, buy textbooks from our fellow students using a pricing algorithm we built, and resell them for a profit online. Being nerds, we constantly tried to refine our algorithm. One day, we locked ourselves in a dorm room with lots of Cheetos, Mountain Dew,

As LLMs compete for doctors' attention, some developers say the science of benchmarking their AI tools for safety and accuracy is flawed.

On June 22, the United States announced that it had signed a nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia. This type of agreement broadly authorizes trade in nuclear technology, equipment, and materials, but only if the agreement and the country in question meet defined nonproliferation requirements. They are called Section 123 agreements for the section of the 1957 U.S. Atomic Energy Act that lays out the specific conditions for them. But the legal terms of Section 123 are only the minimum r
