first_img The developer who replicated Photoshop is taking action again, releasing an open-source clone of the Microsoft Office suite

Brandon Thomas, the developer who previously used AI to reconstruct Adobe Creative Cloud for free, has now turned his attention to Microsoft Office. He has released open-source clone applications WordCraft, GridCraft, and DeckCraft on GitHub, corresponding to Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, respectively. The three applications are written in Rust, with a single codebase that can run natively on Windows, macOS, Linux, and BSD, and can also run in a browser. Thomas refers to this as a clean room reconstruction, meaning it is based on publicly available file format specifications and observations of the original software's behavior, without ever copying Microsoft's code, similar to the legal path taken by Compaq in the 1980s to clone the IBM PC BIOS.WordCraft can read and write .docx format, covering 88% of the features in the Word ribbon. It currently supports revision tracking, footnotes, citations, and mail merge; however, taking into account document fidelity and stability, the team estimates its completeness as a Word alternative for actual work is only about 60%, and it is still labeled as an alpha early testing version. GridCraft has supported 513 out of 523 Excel worksheet functions and 89% of ribbon commands, with the developer self-assessing about 50% as usable for actual work. The next step is to improve compatibility with real .xlsx files.

Robinhood has over 150,000 people opening AI trading accounts, and the CEO envisions retail strategies close to the exchange

The CEO of the stock and cryptocurrency trading platform Robinhood, Vlad Tenev, stated in a recent interview that a significant portion of retail trading is expected to be initiated by AI in the future. The Agent can monitor the market around the clock and handle trades in various assets such as stocks, options, and cryptocurrencies, but most funds may still be held long-term.In May of this year, Robinhood allowed users to trade through third-party AI Agents via MCP, and at the end of September, it announced the direct integration of Agents into the App, with over 150,000 customers having opened dedicated trading accounts at that time. Currently, funds are still restricted through independent accounts; the Agent can view users' other account information but can only place orders within the dedicated account, and funds must be actively transferred by the user. Tenev stated that technically, it is not difficult to directly access the main account, but the company has chosen to gradually loosen permissions.In terms of approval settings, the built-in Agent requires users to approve each transaction by default, but this setting can be manually turned off; external Agents accessed through MCP do not require per-transaction approval by default, and users must enable approval themselves. Tenev also envisions allowing retail investors to deploy trading strategies on servers close to exchanges to reduce order delays, and hopes that ordinary investors can use such infrastructure without needing to understand data centers and network engineering. Robinhood has not yet provided this service and has not announced a timeline for its launch.

Huobi HTX Chief Analyst Cloud: The direction of Bitcoin awaits the determination of CPI, with the lower edge of $81,000 likely to be tested first

Bitcoin has retreated from around $86,000 at the beginning of October, fluctuating in the range of $81,000 to $84,000 in recent days, while the US dollar has strengthened and US Treasury yields remain high. Cloud, the chief analyst at Huobi HTX, believes that the likelihood of breaking down from the fluctuation range is greater.The ISM services price index rose to 74.0 in September, the highest since July 2022, and the one-year inflation expectation from the University of Michigan rose to 4.7% in October. The rise in price components and inflation expectations indicates that the probability of CPI exceeding expectations this Thursday is not low; if this materializes, the pricing for interest rate hikes at the end of the year will be further strengthened, and the lower bound of $81,000 will be tested first. Only if CPI is below expectations will the breakthrough of the upper bound of $84,000 have sustainability.The recent decline in chip stocks is mainly due to the repricing of AI capital expenditures and hardware profit expectations. The retracement of Bitcoin is smaller, indicating that its pricing is more aligned with macro liquidity, and its correlation with the AI narrative is weakening; however, this divergence is temporary. Once the US dollar and long-term interest rates regain dominance in pricing, the linkage will quickly strengthen, with the CPI announcement on Thursday evening serving as a recent testing window.

NeoSoul and Alibaba Cloud have launched a strategic partnership to provide AI reasoning and computing support for NeoTrade

Singapore, October 13, 2026, the BSC ecosystem AI Agent project NeoSoul today announced a strategic cooperation with Alibaba Cloud. NeoSoul has integrated Alibaba Cloud's AI model services into its Agentic Trading product NeoTrade, providing support for model inference and computation for autonomous trading agents; as the product develops and usage scales grow, both parties plan to further explore cloud-based AI technology collaboration.After users set trading rules in NeoTrade, the AI Agent will continuously track market changes, assess trading opportunities, and execute strategies within the authorized scope. The model inference and computation services provided by Alibaba Cloud will support the Agent in repeatedly updating judgments in response to market changes, providing computational resources for autonomous trading applications.Kaelan, co-founder of NeoSoul, stated that AI Agents are evolving from answering questions to continuous decision-making and autonomous execution, rapidly increasing the demands on underlying AI infrastructure; Alibaba Cloud's modeling and computing capabilities will support NeoTrade in handling larger-scale and more complex autonomous trading tasks, and explore the application boundaries of AI Agents in real financial scenarios. An Alibaba Cloud spokesperson stated that they will support the development of NeoTrade through model services and computing capabilities, and continue to explore technological collaboration aimed at next-generation AI Agent applications with NeoSoul.

Qianwen will launch Personal Agent "Qianwen Go!" to support cloud-based task delegation

According to Hard AI reports, Qianwen is about to launch the Personal Agent product "Qianwen Go!". In user-shared experience videos, the product can access flight booking platforms to find delayed flights and negotiate with customer service multiple times to secure a cash compensation of 70 yuan for users; it can also search through orders on Taobao that meet price protection conditions to recover a price difference of 52 yuan for users.Reports indicate that based on the Agent architecture, Qianwen Go has upgraded its scope of services, capable of handling tasks that require repeated checking, communication, and comparison. The initial application scenarios also include car maintenance inquiry appointments, sports venue bookings, and calculating the final price of refrigerators by combining subsidies, old machine recycling, and installation costs. The product operates in a cloud environment and can continue working even after the user closes the app. During task execution, it needs to determine the next steps based on results, such as changing entry points, platforms, or communication methods.Bank of America research on October 7 suggests that the Agent helps users complete tasks and purchases more smoothly, which is expected to expand overall online activities. Morgan Stanley estimates that the personal-oriented Chinese consumer AI monetizable market could reach approximately 300 billion yuan by 2030 and may reach 1.6 trillion yuan by 2040, with major revenue coming from advertising and transaction commissions. Citigroup raised its CPU market forecast on October 6, expecting the global CPU market size to grow from 29 billion dollars in 2025 to 300 billion dollars by 2030.
