OpenAI’s chief scientist, Yakub Pashchenko, stated that its unannounced Astra model is referred to as “AI research intern” and is expected to reach the standards of general artificial intelligence (AGI) in September 2026. In a TIME interview, Sama further estimated that OpenAI would internally announce the achievement of AGI by December 2026. Meanwhile, Hugging Face and Pollen Robotics jointly launched the open-source bipedal robot Microduck for $399, equipped with 15 actuators and comprehensive sensors, supporting simulation training and hardware deployment. The initial sales rate of Microduck was one unit per hour, with cumulative sales exceeding $1 million. Additionally, Z.ai/Zhipu confirmed that their GLM-5.3-Flash model is the mysterious Ox Alpha model, featuring 320B parameters, 18B active parameters, and 1M context windows; after Unslo…
OpenAI’s chief scientist Yakov Pachuchov referred to the unpublicized Astra model as “AI research intern,” stating that it is expected to meet AGI standards by September 2026. In a TIME interview, Sama further estimated that OpenAI would internally announce the achievement of AGI by December 2026. Hugging Face and Pollen Robotics jointly launched the open-source bipedal robot Microduck for $399, equipped with 15 actuators and comprehensive sensors, supporting simulation training and hardware deployment. The first day’s sales reached one unit per hour, with cumulative sales exceeding $1 million. Z.ai/Zhipu confirmed that its GLM-5.3-Flash model is the mysterious Ox Alpha model, featuring 320B parameters, 18B active parameters, and 1M context windows. After optimization by Unsloth, this model can operate on 128GB of memory using 3-bit GGUF…
