    Humanoid robots sorted car parts on Mercedes production lines

    Humanoid robots, the human-shaped kind, usually perform at trade shows, but on Tuesday one went to work in a car plant. Google DeepMind says its new software controlled Apollo 2, a humanoid from the American startup Apptronik, while it worked on Mercedes-Benz production lines in Hungary and Germany. The robot moved metal parts from bins into trays and got it right 96 percent of the time. That figure is DeepMind's own, from a pilot of unstated size. Factories struggle to staff dull jobs like this. That is where I expect robots to earn their first wages, so if you run a production line, start counting your bin-to-tray jobs.

    Anthropic's own suppliers are buying into its 1.4 trillion dollar IPO

    On Saturday I wrote that investors were cooling on AI labs, and Anthropic's answer is to bring some of its own buyers. The company has set a price range valuing it at up to 1.4 trillion dollars before listing next week. Its chip and computing suppliers, including Nvidia, Google, Microsoft and the Taiwanese chipmaker TSMC, are taking 26 billion dollars of stock at the IPO price. Pre-arranged buyers are common in big listings, but rarely ones that also sell to the company. The arrangement makes the price a weaker signal of what independent investors think Anthropic is worth. I will trust the price the open market sets once trading starts.

    ChatGPT now lets companies put their own AI assistant beside its answers

    When ChatGPT recommends a shop, you can now click through to a verified profile and chat with that company's own AI assistant, which answers from the company's own product details. OpenAI opened the test version to American online shops, and each business also gets statistics on how often ChatGPT mentions it. This is Google's old playbook: own the question, then sell businesses a way into the answer. The assistants can also be bought as ads, and OpenAI says paying does not change what ChatGPT recommends. That is the claim I would keep checking, because about 1.2 billion people use ChatGPT every week and OpenAI alone decides who appears in its shop window.

    Netcompany buys almost a quarter of the company behind Denmark's AI supercomputer

    Netcompany, the firm behind much of Denmark's public-sector IT, is buying almost a quarter of the Danish Centre for AI Innovation, which runs the national AI supercomputer Gefion. It pays 325 million kroner, about 44 million euros, and the state fund EIFO adds more. Gefion was built to train the biggest AI systems, and the owners now want to sell AI services to public bodies and regulated firms that need data kept in Denmark. I like the ambition, but this is today's second story of a supplier taking a seat on the other side of the table. Anyone tendering public AI work should ask Netcompany how it keeps the two roles apart.

    Chinese AI company Moonshot reportedly rented chips barred from export to China

    Nvidia's newest AI chips may not be sold to China without an American licence, which makes the paperwork Bloomberg found awkward. According to Bloomberg, Moonshot, the Chinese company behind the Kimi chatbot, rented 32 servers with those chips in western China. The rental came to roughly 2 million dollars per server, and the owner was a drone distributor that had bought them from a liquor company. Moonshot's name vanished from the records after Bloomberg asked questions, and Moonshot disputes the documents. For anyone counting on chip bans to slow China down, the worrying part is how easily these servers changed hands.
