Opus 5 built a 3D Lord of the Rings for ten dollars
You have probably never commissioned two hours of programming as a joke, because nobody would. Andrej Karpathy, formerly Tesla's AI chief, handed Claude Opus 5, Anthropic's newest model, the opening page of The Lord of the Rings and asked for a 3D render of it. It worked for two hours, wrote 5,500 lines of code, and the bill came to about ten dollars. What Karpathy keeps circling back to is that the model cannot see what it builds, placing every object blind and never checking the result with its own eyes. The question for you is how many jobs in your business never got done because they were not worth the effort.

A hacker let DeepSeek attack 460 systems on its own
For a week we have read about AI models breaking loose by lab accident. Here is one with a real criminal in it: the security firm Palo Alto Networks tracked a man in Zhuhai who gave his AI one instruction over Telegram and let it loose on more than 460 targets, picking its own victims and attack code. The part the headlines skipped: none of the autonomous attempts worked. He had Anthropic's and OpenAI's coding tools set up too, but their refusals blocked him and his account was closed, so DeepSeek is what he actually used. It rhymes with the story above, and it puts your security in the choice of supplier.

BYD's first humanoid robot starts work in a car showroom
When you picture a humanoid robot's first real job, you probably picture a factory floor. BYD, the world's biggest maker of electric cars, is putting its first one on a shop floor in Zhengzhou this week. Xiao Di greets customers, explains the cars and interprets across a dozen languages and dialects, and the plan is two or three of them in every store. BYD's Stella Li says plainly that robots cannot replace the connection between a salesperson and a customer, which is a strikingly modest pitch for a launch. The reason it is BYD and not a robotics startup: batteries, motors and control systems are what they already build by the million.

US states start pulling data centres' tax breaks
The AI build-out has been arriving in American towns as a gift, and the bill is now landing on state budgets. A handful of states have scrapped or paused the sales-tax breaks that made data centres cheap to build, and around a dozen more are weighing the same move. Ohio's exemption cost it $1.6 billion, roughly eleven times what the state had budgeted for. That will not stop anything getting built, but it does change where the next one lands. If your own growth plan leans on somebody else's cheap power and cheap land, this is the trend to watch.

Google killed its AI Studio app a day before launch
Google spent months building a phone app for making software, collected around 800,000 pre-orders for it, and cancelled it the day before release. The features go into the Gemini app instead, on the reasoning that you should not have to download yet another app to build something. I think that is the right call, and it tells you where this is heading: the standalone AI tool is being swallowed by the assistant people already have open. If you are budgeting for a separate AI app inside your own product, that is a bet worth re-examining this quarter.
