Keywords: mobile AI, DMA, Siri, Gemini, AI safety, platform access. Global chip race gets sharper - Z.AI's reported Chinese-chip data center, AMD's Helios launch, Google's rumored Gemini-focused silicon, Nvidia valuation jitters, and a TSMC leak case show compute remains strategic. Keywords: AI chips, China, Nvidia, AMD, Google, TSMC, semiconductors. Engineering changes beyond writing code - New essays, experiments, and developer research suggest AI coding tools raise output but shift the hard part to context, verification, supervision, and accountability. Keywords: Cursor, AI coding, developer experience, software engineering, agents. Inference costs reshape AI markets - A growing argument in AI says inference efficiency and cost structure matter more than headline training runs, especially as open-weight models spread. Keywords: inference, open models, China AI, intelligence commodity, cybersecurity. AI enters formal mathematics - Language models paired with formal verification tools are helping generate and check counterexamples to long-open math problems, hinting at a new research workflow. Keywords: AI math, formal proofs, Lean, J…
