ZTE Nubia officially announced that the new mass-produced flagship Nubia NaviX Ultra, equipped with Doubao Mobile Assistant, will be officially released on September 16. As the world's first AI intelligent mobile phone, this device evolves from a tool that requires manual operation by the user into an intelligent assistant that can handle tasks for the user with just one sentence. From today, the new product is available for reservation across the internet, and users can participate in the reservation through ZTE Mall, JD.com, Douyin, Tmall, and various authorized e-commerce platforms.According to Changxin Memory and Nubia Mobile's official Weibo, the Nubia NaviX Ultra will be equipped with Changxin's LPDDR5X memory with a maximum speed of 10667 Mbps, marking the first mass production application of domestically produced 10667 Mbps high-speed LPDDR5X chips.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated in an interview with Bloomberg Television's "Bloomberg The Close" host Ed Ludlow that top AI developers have performed poorly in communicating the benefits of the technology, making the industry susceptible to growing opposition.Altman said, "I think the entire industry has done a very poor job in this regard." "I think we ourselves have not done well, perhaps better than some and worse than others."

Elon Musk responded to "OpenAI plans to end its partnership with Cursor due to Cursor being acquired by SpaceX." He stated that he "doesn't care at all" and criticized OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and co-founder Greg Brockman as untrustworthy, claiming they "stole from an open-source non-profit organization."Previously, it was reported that OpenAI plans to terminate its collaboration with Cursor, and the direct access to the model will end on November 12. The co-founder of Cursor stated that they are communicating with the OpenAI team to seek a solution.

SemiAnalysis reported that the Nvidia Rubin Ultra will feature 192GB of HBM4 8-hi memory. This is not only a significant reduction from the initially previewed 1TB HBM but is even lower than the 288GB capacity of the standard Rubin.The reasons for the HBM configuration being cut down to about one-fifth of the original include: the cancellation of the four-die Rubin Ultra scheme, reducing the number of cubes to 8; the stacking height being lowered from 16-hi to 8-hi; and the use of HBM4 with 24Gb dies instead of HBM4E with 32Gb dies. An upgraded version with 8-hi HBM4E may be released later.

According to Business Insider, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman expressed in the David Senra podcast that he is concerned that AI may one day be controlled by a few companies, models, or individuals, causing the vast majority of consumers to lose their voice in how technology shapes the world. He stated that the correct approach is to ensure that people firmly control the future, and society and models will evolve together.Altman is also worried about AI escaping human control. He pointed out that an excessive fear of the latter risk could lead to the former situation becoming a reality, as some advocate sacrificing a significant amount of freedom for security out of anxiety. The article suggests this may indirectly refer to Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, who has repeatedly warned about AI risks and called for increased government regulation. Anthropic is the only mainstream AI company that has not signed the open letter supporting open-weight models.Although OpenAI has not yet open-sourced its cutting-edge models, it released two open-weight models last year: gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b. Altman also stated that U.S. AI leaders have failed to adequately demonstrate to the public how the technology enhances life autonomy, and he anticipates the largest wave of entrepreneurship, as AI is empowering more people to start small businesses.

The ULTRA Web3 Festival successfully concluded on July 30-31 at The Arch Galeries in Kuala Lumpur. As the core site of the "Global Series Conference Integrating Web3, Traditional Finance, and Artificial Intelligence," this two-day summit brought together international builders, business leaders, and institutional investors to build a bridge between decentralized technology and traditional markets.The success of the Kuala Lumpur event was attributed to the support of a wide range of visionary alliances and industry-leading sponsors, including Pudgy Penguins, Orca, DDNEXUS, Alpha Insight, AI Nova, Decentralized Intelligence, SuperFlow, CloudBank, Morpheus, Razer, ChainUp, DYLI, Saat Dimensi, Oper8 Capital, Lavo Protocol, WageFlow, Echobit Exchange, LifyX Exchange, X18, and Starshine. Additionally, the event further expanded its influence through strategic collaboration with key ecosystem partners such as Access Blockchain Association, CCACC, Emerge Group, Global Impact Fintech, Web3Labs, and ADI Foundation.It is reported that the ULTRA Web3 Festival is set to enter the South Korean market, partnering with Web3Labs as the official global business partner to appear at the second Global Web3 Developers Conference (GWDC 2026 Korea). The conference is scheduled to take place on September 29-30 at the aT Center in Seoul, where both parties will promote cross-border collaboration, technology exchange, and drive international business growth in the Asia-Pacific region.

According to The Information, Nvidia is weighing a significant adjustment measure, considering using less high-bandwidth memory for the Rubin Ultra GPU to address the shortage of advanced high-bandwidth memory chips.

According to the latest research by TrendForce, the tight supply of DRAM is expected to continue until 2027, and the uncertainty of the HBM4e verification schedule is prompting AI chip manufacturers to consider reducing the HBM configuration of their next-generation products. Starting from Q3 2026, NVIDIA has begun evaluating the HBM solution for Rubin Ultra, expanding from the original 12-Hi HBM4e to alternative options such as 8-Hi HBM4e, 12-Hi HBM4, and 8-Hi HBM4, with the final specifications yet to be determined. Previously, due to the expected supply bottleneck of LPDDR5X lasting until 2027, NVIDIA decided to halve the SOCAMM capacity of the next-generation Vera Rubin Superchip module.TrendForce pointed out that the main reasons for the downgrade of Rubin Ultra from 12-Hi HBM4e include: the overall DRAM shortage in 2027 will limit the allocation of wafer capacity to HBM, and there is still uncertainty regarding the mass production schedule and yield ramp-up of 12-Hi HBM4e. It is expected that the HBM bit shipment volume in 2027 will increase by approximately 50-60% year-on-year, which will still be insufficient to meet the growth in demand. HBM suppliers will maintain pricing power throughout 2027, and HBM prices are expected to rise significantly. The final configuration will depend on the wafer allocation decisions of memory suppliers.

Binance announced on Wednesday the launch of a new VIP service aimed at the ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) market, named Binance Prestige. Binance Prestige provides high-level, specialized digital asset management services for family offices, private funds, and other asset allocators.This new service, designed specifically for ultra-high-net-worth clients, complements Binance Wealth, which was launched a year ago and primarily targets advisors and wealth managers for high-net-worth clients. According to a survey by Avaloq, over half of wealth management professionals believe that digital assets play a key role in client interactions, up from 44% last year.Currently, Binance offers special accounts for VIP users, where investors must hold over $500,000 in tradable funds and a certain amount of BNB tokens on the trading platform to apply. VIP Holder accounts are divided into four tiers, with tier four being the highest net worth level. Binance Prestige does not set a hard asset threshold, but the service mainly targets investors with assets around $10 million, which is roughly equivalent to the funding level required to open a private banking account.

ChainCatcher news, Vitalik Buterin's latest article elaborates on the GKR (Goldreich--Kahan--Rothblum) protocol used to accelerate ZK proofs, adapting to the "batch × multi-layer" computational structure, significantly reducing intermediate layer commitments, and only committing to inputs and outputs.The article uses Poseidon2 hash as an example to detail the recursive proof process centered around sumcheck, and provides optimizations (Gruen's trick, linear batching, partial rounds with only cubic leading elements), which can be combined with BaseFold or FRI in polynomial commitment scenarios. The author claims that the actual overhead is less than 100 times the theoretical value of traditional STARK, with single-digit level overhead expected, and warns that the Fiat--Shamir challenge must guard against predictability risks within the circuit.
