6️⃣ GTA VI Leak Case Reaches Court
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.

☀️ 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.

🌐 Chinese AI Models Close the Gap
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 Claims that Chinese models lag by 6-9 months look outdated, especially since GLM-5.3 is not included.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.

🤖 RealBOTs Take On Real Work
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.

🤖 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.

☠️ 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.

📹 Flock’s Cameras Feed an Investigative AI
Flock’s cameras cover 6,000 US communities. Its internal tool, first called Nightshift and now OS Investigate, pulls data from the network to log drivers’ movements.
Wired reports that police can search a mapped area using only a person’s physical description, time, location, and behavior. Results can be linked to police files, 911 call logs, and commercial databases, producing a name, home address, relatives, or friends.
A chatbot accepts plain-text requests, including searches for cars seen most often in an area over the last 14 days. Flock says the product is being tested with selected law-enforcement partners and that its current capabilities may change.

🔎LandSpace Lands Zhuque-3 Booster
On its second flight, Zhuque-3 sent Hongqing Technology’s Honghu 03 satellite to orbit, then returned its first stage to landing legs on land. The first attempt ended in “anomalous combustion” near the pad.
It was China’s first recovery of an orbital rocket booster to landing legs, and the first landing by a private Chinese company. The 66-metre rocket runs on oxygen and methane, with a reusable booster and disposable upper stage.
China had recorded only 1 earlier landing, by CASC’s Long March 10B, which lowered its stage into a ship-deck net. Falcon 9 first landed in 2015.

🤖 OpenAI Cuts GPT-5.6 Agent Costs
GPT-5.6 Luna scored 84.04% on BrowseComp, nearly matching GPT-5.5 at 84.36%. Its run cost $1.33 instead of $33.27, making the gap hard to ignore.
For agent work, OpenAI recommends Luna and Terra for data extraction and document search. GPT-5.6 Sol on low reasoning also beat GPT-5.5 on high reasoning in one agent test.
The bigger gain comes from the agent setup. GPT-5.6 can preserve reasoning between steps and compact long histories. On ARC-AGI-3, that lifted Sol from 13.3% to 38.3% while using about 6 times fewer output tokens. The model itself was unchanged.

Users aged 13-17 will get a separate version with stricter filters for harmful topics.
The bot cannot simulate emotions or provide ready-made homework answers.
Age will be estimated from more than 2,000 behavioral signals, including login time, so documents are not needed. The change follows lawsuits after children received harmful content.

⚡️Asus Adds Electric Power to Any Bike
The Oxiis E250G1 Intelligent Bike Booster attaches a motor and removable battery to the seatpost. Rollers drive the rear wheel, so the chain and hub stay untouched.
It delivers 250 W nominal power, up to 500 W peak, with a 158.4 Wh battery. Range reaches 50 km in Eco or about 10 km in Sport. Full charging takes about 2 hours via 100 W USB-C Power Delivery.
The 3.7 kg unit fits 16 to 29-inch and 700C wheels, with tires up to 60 mm wide. Adaptive Boost Technology reads the incline ahead and adjusts assistance. Asus has not announced the price or release date.

👁 PRIMA chip restores central vision in AMD
The PRIMA implant targets geographic atrophy, a late-stage dry form of age-related macular degeneration affecting over 5 million people worldwide. It replaces dead photoreceptors in the central retina with a 2×2 mm chip containing 378 photovoltaic pixels.
The chip converts infrared light projected from special glasses into electrical impulses that stimulate surviving retinal neurons. This bypasses damaged photoreceptors and sends visual signals to the brain, preserving peripheral vision while restoring central sight.
PRIMA does not cure or regenerate cells but acts as an electronic prosthesis. It recently received CE marking, allowing Science Corp to market the system in Europe.

📊 Solar storms get a tighter ETA
Using NASA PUNCH images, scientists cut the arrival error for one solar eruption to 30 minutes instead of 5 hours. The mission uses 4 microsatellites, launched in March 2025, to watch the Sun around the clock.
For the 31 May 2025 coronal mass ejection, scientists fed the images into a computer model. After the first 12 hours of observations, it said the storm would hit in 8 hours, and missed by half an hour.
Before PUNCH, instruments saw only one fifth of the path to Earth. Now the whole route is visible, with images updated every 4 minutes, which gives operators more time before radio blackouts, grid trouble, satellite issues and internet disruptions.
