OpenAI unveils Jalapeño chip, claims better throughput and lower latency China makes 9 of 10 humanoid robots, uses carnivals to win public support Brazil fines ByteDance record US$30 million over TikTok children's data A Eye on AI - 12:30 PM On this briefing: OpenAI announces first measured results for its custom inference chip, Jalapeño, claiming gains in throughput and energy efficiency. China dominates global humanoid robot manufacturing — nearly 90% of units delivered last year — and is hosting robot carnivals to bring embodied AI into everyday life. Beijing moves to hold carmakers liable for self-driving violations, potentially clearing a path for wider autonomous vehicle adoption. Brazil slaps ByteDance with a US$30 million fine — its largest ever — over TikTok's handling of children's data. And ByteDance launches Doubao Work, a productivity AI agent integrated with Feishu. We break down what each story means for you, with plain-language context on every number.
