OpenAI reportedly plans to purchase TPU chips from Google, further reshaping the AI computing supply chain.

On October 28, reports indicated that OpenAI intends to procure artificial intelligence chips from Google. For a long time, OpenAI has been a major purchaser of NVIDIA GPUs, relying on them for training and inference of large-scale models. As demand for computing power surges, companies are seeking more cost-effective alternatives suitable for running AI models. Google’s self-developed TPU has gradually gained prominence in recent years, emerging as a potential option. This move may reflect a trend toward diversification in AI chip procurement.

DouBao’s PR team responds to the “150,000 extras fed into a model” rumor: The claim is seriously inaccurate.

Liu Xing, head of DouBao’s PR department, issued a statement debunking the rumor, stating that the claim “Hengdian has partnered with ByteDance to feed the portraits and voices of 150,000 extras into ByteDance’s large AI model” is seriously false. He explained that the real “Hengdian Film & TV AI Service Platform” aims to build public digital infrastructure, organizing on-site assets such as film studio locations into high-quality datasets. This helps production crews efficiently scout locations, prepare for shoots, and streamline filming, while also lowering the barrier for small and medium-sized film and TV companies to adopt AI, enabling more creators to produce quality work.

Chelsea Troy proposes a new paradigm for cultivating software engineering skills in the AI era: slowing down is essential for genuine advancement.

According to InfoQ, during her talk at the Craft Conference, Chelsea Troy pointed out that while generative AI accelerates output, it cannot replace the deep learning process. Effective skill development requires returning to the principles of cognitive science, emphasizing a slower pace, confronting discomfort, spaced repetition, outcome prediction, and diversified formats.

Why it mattersThis report is based on an authoritative interview and transcript of her speech published by InfoQ on October 28, 2026. It focuses on the essence of software engineering education, systematically integrating cognitive science with frontline development practices, offering clear guidance and timely relevance for talent cultivation amid the current proliferation of AI tools.

Ant Group launches Lingguang 2.0, enabling tasks to continue even after the user exits the conversation

On October 27, Ant Group unveiled Lingguang 2.0, shifting its product positioning from a “task executor” to a “personal AI assistant capable of handling tasks.” The core change lies in how tasks are executed. Powered by an independent cloud server, Lingguang 2.0 breaks free from the limitations of single-session conversations: once a user exits the dialogue, related tasks keep running in the background and dynamically adapt based on new information and changing conditions. This capability is underpinned by three key upgrades—cross-session memory, long-term task scheduling, and enhanced tool integration. Moreover, the point at which the AI becomes involved has been moved earlier in the process: previously, users had to first identify issues and articulate their needs before the AI could act. With Lingguang 2.0, once authorized by the user, the system can proactively detect potential needs by leveraging connected data and services, initiate analysis, monitoring, and follow-up actions, and issue timely reminders when user attention is required. Officially demonstrated use cases focus on continuously managing everyday tasks, such as tracking price fluctuations after booking airline tickets or identifying potentially idle items from Alipay statements...

Foreign blogger uses AI earphones as a medical translation tool: “Just listen and translate—communication becomes much smoother.”

Foreign blogger “Carlo Wu (Carlo)” shared his experience of visiting a traditional Chinese medicine doctor on social media. He wore the Qwen AI clip-on earphones—one for himself and one for the doctor—and used face-to-face translation to facilitate communication. Carlo said he finds traditional medicine very interesting, but language has always been an obstacle. During the consultation, when the doctor asked where he was feeling discomfort, he could only gesture while saying, “Everything hurts.” After putting on the earphones, the two were able to communicate more effectively. He remarked that this was the first time he truly understood what the doctor was saying.

The number of CVE vulnerabilities has risen almost vertically, with AI acting as an “amplifier” for security research.

According to tech media gigazine, developer @0x_Osprey has launched a web-based CVE Tracker that visualizes changes in the number of vulnerabilities assigned CVE IDs, showing a nearly vertical upward trend since 2026. CVE is the globally standardized vulnerability numbering system, relied upon by security researchers, vendors, and enterprises to track, report, and remediate flaws. This tool compiles publicly available records into trend charts and overlays them with the release dates of mainstream AI models, enabling users to intuitively compare vulnerability growth with AI releases.
