Grok V9-Medium 1.5T Base Model Training Complete, Public Release in 2-3 Weeks
Elon Musk announced that xAI’s Grok base model V9-Medium (1.5T parameters) has completed training with good evaluation results. The model incorporated a large amount of Cursor data during supplementary training, with more data to be added. Fine-tuning is currently underway, and reinforcement learning will start in a few days, with a public release expected in 2-3 weeks. Musk stated that this will be a significant upgrade over the 0.5T V8-Small that currently handles all Grok production traffic, especially in complex coding tasks. Additionally, Grok Build (programming tool) continues to iterate, with the latest version v0.1.220-alpha.1 released.

Huawei Officially Unveils ‘Tao (τ) Law’ at Shanghai Semiconductor Symposium
The 2026 International Symposium on Circuits and Systems was held in Shanghai on May 25. He Tingbo, Huawei board member and president of the Semiconductor Business Division, officially unveiled the ‘Tao (τ) Law’ in a keynote speech. The law proposes replacing ‘geometric scaling’ with ‘temporal scaling,’ using innovative technologies like logic folding to continuously compress signal propagation delays and increase transistor density. According to public information, Huawei has designed and mass-produced 381 chips based on this law over the past six years, and expects high-end chip transistor density to reach the equivalent of a 1.4nm process by 2031. This autumn, Huawei will release a new Kirin mobile chip using full logic folding technology. This marks the first time China has proposed a new principle to guide industry development in the global semiconductor field, against the backdrop of Moore’s Law facing both physical limits and economic challenges.

X Officially Begins Cracking Down on Programmatic Content Scraping
X product lead Nikita Bier announced that over the past month, multiple large accounts have been identified programmatically scraping content from smaller accounts, extracting revenue shares, and evading original attribution. These posts are now being flagged, and exposure revenue will be redistributed to original creators. Gui Zang noted that this policy change will directly impact Chinese-language accounts that rely on scraping. Several bloggers shared and discussed this, believing that platform-level content originality protection mechanisms are tightening.

Chinese AI Community ‘Gui Zang Incident’ Sparks Discussion
The controversy surrounding Gui Zang (@op7418) blocking scrapers continues to ferment in the AI community. Gui Zang clearly stated: using screenshots without permission is wrong; when the original owner confronts you, you should apologize, delete the post, and issue a clarification; blocking is a personal choice. Several bloggers, including Xiangyang Qiaomu, voiced support for original creators, criticizing scrapers for ‘not only refusing to admit but also biting back.’ Gu Yi, community manager of VSC, published a long statement calling for ‘learning, paying tribute, and creating derivative works, but not stealing, pretending, or erasing the original author.’ MaxForAI wrote a detailed account of the incident. Kuai Dao Qing Yi commented, ‘If you’re wrong, admit it. It’s no big deal.’ This incident reflects the ongoing concern in the Chinese X community about content scraping and original content protection.

Claude to Launch File Memory System Upgrade
According to testingcatalog, Anthropic is testing a new file memory feature for Claude, allowing users to choose between ‘Memory Files’ and ‘Classic Memory.’ Memory Files are notes automatically compiled by Claude during conversations, which users can browse and edit at any time. This feature is considered a new iteration of the previous ‘Knowledge Base’ function, closer to the memory working method in always-on agents like OpenClaw.

Feishu Docs Adds Markdown Download Feature
Several bloggers discovered that Feishu Docs has added a Markdown download feature, with images in documents still hosted on Feishu servers. Xiangyang Qiaomu commented, ‘Actively embracing AI and providing infrastructure for AI agents is the right approach.’ This feature directly helps AI agents read and write Feishu documents, reducing the conversion cost of document content in AI workflows.

‘Vertical Agent Is Over’ Sparks Industry Discussion
Wesley proposed in a group chat that ‘vertical agents are over’ and expressed basic agreement, believing that small teams have limited opportunities in the agent space. Baoyu responded that building an Agent Harness indeed has little value, but developing vertical solutions based on a mature Agent Harness holds great potential—including redesigning AI-native agent workflows for legacy workflows, redesigning human-in-the-loop UI/UX interactions, and curating high-quality vertical data. Baoyu believes that agents are the future operating system, with a few model companies providing models and harnesses, and others building applications on top.

Lenny Rachitsky Podcast: Predictions for Work in the AI Era
Lenny Rachitsky released a new podcast episode, inviting Dan Shapper (founder of Every) to discuss the future direction of AI. Core predictions include: Codex and Claude Code will become the new operating system for knowledge work; automation will not lead to mass unemployment because ‘AI models make yesterday’s human capabilities cheap, but humans will use those frozen capabilities to create new things’; PMs and designers will thrive in the AI era; SaaS will not die but will grow because agents will heavily use SaaS products; every company will have a ‘super agent’ in Slack in the future. Dan said he now does all his work in Codex.

One-Person Company (OPC) Trend: Vibe Coding + Content as Core Lever
After analyzing the case of Kepler Star Man, Cell believes that in the AIGC era, the path for an individual to build a content IP is clear. Vibe Coding + content + self-media may be the biggest leverage combination in AI OPC practice. Wesley shared his revenue progress as a one-person company (OPC), using Claude to organize work progress from Google Drive and Apple Notes. Wesley also pointed out that on Douyin, more and more people with no coding knowledge are completing software products using AI. Programmers need to think about ‘what they can do beyond code’; competing on technical skills is not meaningful, and it might be better to pivot early.

7-Eleven Japan Founder Toshifumi Suzuki Dies at 93
Seven & i Holdings issued an obituary stating that former group chairman and CEO Toshifumi Suzuki died of heart failure on May 18 at the age of 93. Suzuki introduced American 7-Eleven to Japan in 1973, and later 7-Eleven Japan acquired its U.S. parent company Southland, gaining control of the entire 7-Eleven system. He truly changed the convenience store operating model—using POS data to determine inventory, small-batch high-frequency replenishment, and placing bento boxes and ATMs in the same space, making convenience stores a life infrastructure. His book ‘The Philosophy of Retail’ has been repeatedly studied in China’s retail circles.

Hangzhou Government Adopts ‘Dead Yet?’ App, Upgrades to Elderly Care Platform
The ‘Dead Yet?’ app, which previously sparked discussion for its ‘survival check-in’ feature, has been officially adopted by Nanxing Street, Shangcheng District, Hangzhou, and upgraded to the ‘Are You There?’ peace-of-mind guardian platform. Nanxing Street has a population aged 60 and above accounting for 44.4%. The upgraded platform features an age-friendly design with large fonts and a simple interface. Elderly users can check in seamlessly every day; if they fail to check in for two consecutive days, the system automatically alerts their children. For seniors without smartphones, a physical ‘safety buckle’ button has been introduced. The community has built a five-level linkage protection mechanism: elderly – app – children – community – emergency. Upon SOS trigger, response within 5 minutes and coordinated home visit within 15 minutes.
