Anthropic announced that it will donate the Agent Skills standard to the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) under the Linux Foundation. This format was designed by Anthropic while developing Claude Code, set to launch in October 2025 and open as a cross-platform standard in December. Currently, over 70 agent platforms, including ChatGPT, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot, have integrated it.Anthropic describes Skills as reusable work manuals prepared for AI agents, where developers can write task steps in SKILL.md and attach scripts and reference materials for different agents to read as needed. MCP is responsible for connecting external tools and data, while Skills explain how agents complete specific tasks. What is being donated includes the standard name, logo, GitHub organization, and official website domain.AAIF was jointly initiated by Anthropic, OpenAI, and Block in 2025 and has previously received MCP. In the future, engineers from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google will jointly maintain the Skills standard in their personal capacities, no longer solely led by Anthropic. Vercel statistics show that the skills.sh directory has recorded approximately 1 million skills, with nearly 280 million installations. Snyk has confirmed 76 malicious skills in ClawHub's skill samples, and Anthropic has proposed establishing version control, formal proposal processes, and security guidelines.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang stated during an interview with CNBC reporter Arjun Kharpal at the GTC conference in Berlin on Thursday that the demand for neocloud is extremely high and its capabilities are extraordinary, but insufficient working capital is restricting growth. He mentioned that there is huge demand in multiple fields of artificial intelligence, and the capital demand far exceeds supply, a problem that will be resolved.Jensen Huang indicated that electricity is the main constraint on the expansion of artificial intelligence, with European electricity prices being higher. He believes that allocating scarce energy to companies like Nebius and Mistral is crucial for their growth. Investment can enter Europe, but local infrastructure must be established first; if European neocloud can build infrastructure locally, the artificial intelligence ecosystem and economy can start and remain in Europe. He added that the whole of Europe still needs more neocloud.NVIDIA is conducting media activities in Europe this month and has committed nearly $10 billion in investments to local companies, universities, and research institutions. Jensen Huang announced last week during his visit to London that the company has invested over $1 billion in five UK startups and is also investing in several French startups. He stated that NVIDIA is trying to kickstart the artificial intelligence economy in Europe, which has a wealth of technology, industrial experience, and research capabilities, and is ready to participate in and build a local artificial intelligence economy.

The artificial intelligence company Anthropic is about to sprint towards its IPO. The draft prospectus shows that revenue in the first half of 2026 is expected to increase from $1.1 billion in the same period last year to $16.3 billion, while net losses are projected to widen from $13 billion to $80.7 billion. Of this, $72 billion comes from the accounting revaluation of financing instruments such as convertible notes; the increase in valuation makes the conversion rights more valuable, and the fair value increase of related financing liabilities needs to be recognized as a loss in the income statement, which does not represent an equivalent cash expenditure for the current period, but future conversions may dilute existing shareholders.The net loss for the entire last year was $42 billion, of which about $34 billion came from similar accounting adjustments. In the first half of the year, investments in computing power and infrastructure approached $9 billion, compared to $2.3 billion in the same period last year. The draft prospectus lists over $600 billion in future cloud services and chip-related contracts, with some commitments being irrevocable; if agreements still under negotiation are included, the potential total could reach $750 billion.

According to Ramp's tracking of payment data from over 70,000 U.S. companies, approximately 80% of Anthropic and OpenAI's enterprise revenue comes from the top 1% of clients. In August and September, enterprise Token spending saw nearly zero growth for two consecutive months; although it reached a historical high at the beginning of October, it was only 1.5% higher than the peak in August.According to Ornn data, the actual Token price index for Anthropic fell from over $1.70 in mid-September to $0.83, a decline of more than 50%, while OpenAI's corresponding index was $0.45. According to YipitData, the top 1% of Anthropic's clients contributed 46% of revenue in August, up from 25% a year ago. Ramp data shows that the paid adoption rate for enterprise AI in September only increased by 0.62 percentage points to 55.9%. Ramp's chief economist Ara Kharazian believes that growth is shifting from expanding the paid user base to enhancing the depth of use among existing users.Goldman Sachs warns that the growth rate of Token demand must exceed the decline in prices to support sustained investment in computing power. Apollo's chief economist Torsten Slok pointed out that companies are highly sensitive to computing power prices, and price reductions may not necessarily lead to sufficient new demand. Goldman Sachs data also shows that the realized return on invested capital for Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, and Oracle has dropped from 40% to 25%, the lowest since 2016.

The privacy coin project Pirate Chain has released a mandatory update v6.14, requiring all nodes, mining pools, and exchanges to discontinue the old version and upgrade immediately.

Both vulnerabilities have been fixed.After reaching a consensus among the community, mining pools, exchanges, and dPoW notarization nodes, the chain has been rolled back to block 4,176,944 before the attack, and all counterfeit tokens have been removed. Balances have been restored to their state before the attack, with the maximum supply remaining at 200 million coins. The new version will automatically re-index the entire chain upon its first launch, and a complete technical review report will be released later.

According to "Reading Plus," the short drama application Hongguo Short Drama App, owned by ByteDance, has launched "Xiaoguo AI." This feature has undergone a period of gray testing and is now officially online, relying on the Doubao large model. It is labeled as Hongguo AI BOT within the app and is positioned as an AI assistant for finding short dramas, providing series search and recommendations. The report states that this is the first time Hongguo has integrated conversational AI into the user-end drama search scenario, beyond AI short drama production.According to practical tests by "Reading Plus," the main entry point is located in the app's search bar. Clicking it leads to the conversation page, and users can also ask questions in the comment section by @XiaoguoAI. The page features quick questions, such as "What short dramas are everyone watching?" and "What are the differences between male-oriented and female-oriented short dramas?" When users input keywords, it returns a list of suggestions, a trending short drama list, and series popularity. The AI responses can pop up short drama cards with play buttons, which redirect to the viewing page when clicked.This tool relies on generative models and search plugins to return information such as titles, plot summaries, poster stills, reputation ratings, and playback channels based on keywords and viewing preferences. From user feedback, it can also record update requests and push notifications when new seasons of followed series are available for reservation.
