🍏 Apple Sets September 9 Event
The foldable iPhone will debut at 10:00 a.m.
Apple also plans iPhone 18, new Apple Watch and iPad mini models.

| 2 |  🤖 OpenAI Previews Cloud-Based Codex
In an interview, Thibault, OpenAI’s head of Codex and ChatGPT, said the current Codex may look primitive in 2-3 months. Next-generation Astra-based agents will need the cloud, where they can run more parallel processes than a typical laptop can handle.
Agent speed is also expected to rise. Today’s Ultra Fast rate of 750+ tokens per second could become the default. Codex and ChatGPT will increasingly share one harness across coding and other tasks.
The stated end goal is Personal AGI, a single personalized app whose interface changes with the user’s task.

| 3 |  +2📊 Alibaba previews Qwen4 architecture
Alibaba released Qwen3.8-Flash-Next, an open multimodal model and early preview of the architecture planned for Qwen4. It has 125B parameters, but uses only 6B for each text fragment. Another 51B sit in separate memory for frequent combinations.
The design keeps the model large while reducing compute. Alibaba says training is about 9 times cheaper than Qwen3.7-Plus, while the model already performs better on coding, tool-use tasks, and long office workflows.
Long-context support reaches 262,000 tokens by default and up to 1 million tokens in extended mode. At 1 million tokens, a new retrieval mechanism can significantly speed up processing. The weights are already open on Hugging Face.

| 5 |  +5🤳 Nothing OS 5.0 Puts Customisation First
The update brings a new visual layer with transparency and a light frosted-glass effect. Surfaces now have depth, making it clearer what sits in front. The system font is Geist, while the dot matrix becomes mostly decorative.
A new colour engine can take shades directly from your wallpaper. They flow into icons, widgets, and controls, so changing the wallpaper changes the interface. Essential Apps Builder is now a phone app that turns a text description into a custom AI widget.
Comments under the announcement are less enthusiastic. Users say a year of work brought a font, more colour settings, and transparent widgets, while Nothing still lacks its own clock and calculator.

| 6 |  🍏 Apple Refreshes Mac mini and Studio
Preorders are open, with shipments starting September 22. Both desktops come with macOS 27 Golden Gate and the new Siri AI.
The Mac mini keeps its tiny body, but gets M6 or M5 Pro chips. M6 starts at $899 and uses Apple’s first 2nm process, with 12 CPU cores and 170 GB/s memory bandwidth. Both models cost $100 more.
Mac Studio now starts at $2,499 with M5 Max. M5 Ultra starts at $5,499. Its four-die design reaches 36 CPU cores and 80 GPU cores, with 1.2 TB/s memory bandwidth. With Mac Pro discontinued, it is Apple’s most powerful computer.

An internal development branch was accidentally merged into the macOS Tahoe 26.7 release candidate. It brought a demo video showing unannounced AirPods with cameras.
In the clip, a man points the earbuds at a book so Visual Intelligence can read its title. The cameras capture the surroundings in low resolution and act as eyes for Apple’s AI features, including turn-by-turn navigation and answers about what is in front of the user.
Gurman also says early reactions to the foldable iPhone are warm. Testers liked its pocket fit, hinge and iPad-style app layouts, but there is no telephoto lens. Pricing remains open.

| 8 |  ⚠️ Xianglong Blasts Through Mixed Ground
The 4.5-meter Xianglong tunnel boring machine was developed by Tsinghua University and Wuhan-based CRSIC. Its cutting head retracts behind the shield, exposing built-in drills.
The drills bore holes several meters into the rock. Low-power, high-speed charges create microcracks without throwing debris or producing a strong shockwave. The shield absorbs what does fly back, then the head returns to crush and clear the broken rock.
The system targets mixed geology, where standard machines struggle when soft ground turns into rock. Chinese state media says it raises boring speed by 30%, while the shield diameter can be adjusted for different lining segments.

| 9 |  🤖 Claude Code Built a Mac Driver
In about 4 hours, 19-year-old Kuber Mehta used Claude Code to reverse-engineer the proprietary printer language behind the HP Laser 1008a. The result is a working Mac driver built from scratch.
The driver translates macOS print commands into a format the printer understands. It runs HP’s codec inside a lightweight container, then sends the data directly over USB. The budget printer was designed for Windows, with no Mac support or AirPrint.
After a one-command installation, printing works from any Mac app through Cmd+P. Mehta published the project on GitHub along with a full transcript of the Claude Code session.

On the first day in Beijing, Tiangong Ultra finished in 9.39 seconds. Several robots broke the record, while Usain Bolt’s official human mark is 9.58 seconds.
The event covers athletics, football, tennis, combat sports, dancing, plus household tasks such as opening bottles and sorting. Tiangong Ultra was developed by Beijing innovation centers.

Agents running in Antigravity can now be controlled from a phone or another computer through a regular browser. The original machine keeps working on the task.
Users can check progress and send new commands from the browser. The agent’s files and settings remain on the machine where it started.
Antigravity also sends phone notifications when an agent finishes a stage or needs a reply. A long task can continue on a work computer after the user leaves it.

Take-Two asked a court to make Microsoft and Discord identify Cyberleek, the group leaking gameplay from a fully working GTA VI build. The companies have until September 4 to provide the hackers’ data.
The request also covers people who merely connected to the same servers. Take-Two is seeking the attackers’ identities. A previous Rockstar hacker was sent to a psychiatric hospital indefinitely in 2023.

| 14 |  +6☀️ Solar Prototype Produces Extra Power
More than 1,700 solar cells cover a flexible photovoltaic skin on a boxfish-inspired prototype built by graduate students at Clemson University with BMW support. Flat surfaces reduce drag, while Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute helped develop the skin.
The car weighs 550 kg. A skeletal chassis with 3D-printed metal joints and lightweight composite panels keeps it light.
Simulations say a 20 km daily trip uses 1.6 kWh, while a sunny day could produce 5.7 kWh, adding up to 50 km of extra range while parked. These are not measurements and assume ideal weather and an open parking spot. Battery, speed, crash-testing, and comfort details were not disclosed.

A Bloomberg chart compares Chinese models in orange with US models in blue, using a weighted average across 9 benchmarks. Frontier models are connected by a line.
Over the past couple of years, the capability gap has narrowed sharply. Claims that Chinese models lag by 6-9 months look outdated, especially since GLM-5.3 is not included. Prices are not even part of the chart.

Chinese company RealMan Robotics plans to place almost 1,000 RealBOT units in workplaces in 2026. At WRC 2026 in Beijing, demos showed robots sorting medicines, inspecting a distribution switchboard, baking with human cooks, and handling remote equipment commissioning at the Changzhou factory.
The Global Link Network lets a human operator control the robot remotely, with claimed millisecond-level latency across thousands of kilometers. A scarce skill can reach the needed site without sending the specialist there.
Each task produces data from unpredictable conditions. More work should make the robots better at working.

The plugin is available in ChatGPT Work and Codex on desktop. Install it through Plugins, then Public.

| 19 |  🤖 One Generation From Always-On ChatGPT
Sam Altman says OpenAI is about one model generation away from ChatGPT running in the background throughout your digital life. It would watch the screen, attend meetings, and record calls.
You could connect it to email, documents, Slack, and messages. The system would build a full picture of your work and suggest solutions in real time, while leaving the final choice to you.
Most people now use AI in isolated sessions. The model Altman described would never switch off or lose context, giving one company a continuous record of your screen, conversations, and work.

| 20 |  ☠️ Voyah EV Completes a Tunnel Loop
In a test tunnel in Wuhan, the Passion S entered a turn at 130 km/h, holding about 16° of steering angle. The resulting centripetal force pushed the electric crossover onto the wall, over the ceiling, then back down.
The electric crossover used its speed and the tunnel’s radius to stay pressed against the concrete.
The margin was tiny. A speed drop would reduce the normal force between the tires and concrete, so engineers had to calculate a narrow operating window for the heavy EV.
