On January 27, 1973, the Paris Peace Accords were signed, officially ending the US involvement in the Vietnam War. Maybe not techy—but history can change everything, right?
Hey tech-enthusiast! Happy Tuesday—let’s charge up the productivity! Got your coffee? Because today’s updates are turbocharged: AI is literally rocketing into space, bots are taking over Chinese factories faster than a gaming launch, and TikTok might finally face a real rival. Grab a chair, let’s get nerdy with some of the juiciest tech tidbits of the week .
Alibaba’s Qwen-3 becomes the first AI model in space—sci-fi, but real.
Chinese factories run by robots mean cars built in the dark (no humans needed).
Major security flaws found in Model Context Protocol—careful with your AI agents.
TikTok meltdown: users switching to UpScrolled at record speed.
Nvidia bets big on CoreWeave and unveils ultra-fast Vera CPU.
Chinese AI hardware companies outgrowing internet giants.
Ricursive AI startup hits a crazy $4B valuation in just 7 weeks.
BlackRock jumps even deeper into crypto with a Bitcoin ETF on Nasdaq.
Alibaba Cloud just launched its powerful Qwen-3 artificial intelligence model into orbit, making it the first general-purpose AI running in space. The Chinese start-up Adaspace Technology installed it in a space computing center, enabling instant data crunching without relays to Earth. This is a huge step—think real-time problem solving for future Mars missions, or sci-fi AI that’s not just in the cloud, but among the stars.
View articleWelcome to the age of the robots! Chinese car companies are running 'dark factories'—literally lights-out, since there’s no need for humans to see. Robots assemble, paint, and manage the entire workflow, cutting costs by 30% and producing around the clock. But, the flip side—many manual jobs vanish as AI takes the wheel. Your next car? Built almost entirely by machines.
View articleMajor warning for anyone tinkering with AI agents: Researchers uncovered critical vulnerabilities in Model Context Protocol (MCP)—think no mandatory authentication, so attackers could hijack your AI tools, steal data, or run ransomware. Even Clawdbot, a popular AI assistant, is at risk! If you’re building stuff with MCP, double-check your security and don’t skip on the authentication.
View articleTikTok is losing users fast after technical hassles—US uninstalls jumped 150%! Enter UpScrolled, the slick new rival already climbing the App Store charts (and keeping its servers together on caffeine and startup hope). With a promise of real chronological feeds and fairness, UpScrolled could be the next big thing. Will TikTok make a comeback, or will viral dancers march elsewhere?
View articleAI chip superstar Nvidia just invested a mammoth $10B in CoreWeave, upping its stake to 9%. At the same time, they rolled out the Vera CPU, a processor engineered for next-gen AI workloads. For devs and companies, this means even more speed and efficiency. Expect CoreWeave to get even hotter in the AI cloud arena, and Nvidia to keep laying claim to the AI hardware throne.
View articleWhile China’s big-name internet platforms wrestle with price wars, the country’s AI-focused hardware companies are booming. Demand for advanced chips and processing devices is skyrocketing, with companies revising growth forecasts upwards. The more data we use, the more hardware we need—so hardware specialists are the new rock stars of tech.
View articleAI chip startup Ricursive reached a wild $4B valuation just two months after launch. That’s right—seven weeks and a billion-dollar club invite! Investors are bullish on AI hardware, betting Ricursive’s tech could revolutionize how chips power smart apps. Watch this space: today’s upstart could be tomorrow’s Nvidia.
View articleBlackRock, the world’s biggest asset manager, is launching a Bitcoin Premium Income ETF on Nasdaq, bringing mainstream respectability to crypto investing. The ETF aims to attract more traditional investors who’ve been sitting on the sidelines.
