OpenAI built its own chip and pointed it straight at Nvidia
Nvidia's biggest customer has just become its most awkward problem. OpenAI published the first measurements for Jalapeño, a chip it built with Broadcom to run its own models. Per unit of electricity it does up to twice the work of Nvidia's best system, which is the number that decides a data centre's biggest bill. The caveats are real: OpenAI supplied the figures itself, and the chip still exists only as engineering samples. Nvidia reports earnings tonight. If you buy computing power, the useful part is that the largest buyer in this market has just shown it can walk away.

Australia throws fully AI-made songs off its official charts
Australia's charts now have to answer a question no chart has had to ask before: did a person make this? ARIA, the body behind the country's official charts, ruled on Tuesday that songs made wholly or mostly by AI cannot chart, while tracks a human largely made still can. It follows an Australian DJ whose cover became the most played song on national radio in July, before he admitted the vocals and drums were generated. Writing the rule was the easy part. ARIA now has to judge how much human is in a track with only the artist's word to go on, and if your industry certifies anything, that question is coming for you.

Show this robot one video and it copies a ten minute job
Every robot demo you have seen was trained for that exact job, which is why factory robots stay stuck on a short list of tasks. Skild AI, an American robotics company, published a model on Tuesday that watches a video of the task once and then does it. In its demos the robot repots a plant, brews pour-over coffee, makes pancakes and assembles a kit, none of which it had seen before, and some of it runs for ten minutes. We only have the company's own footage so far, and no independent test. If showing a robot beats training it, that short list gets a lot longer.

A hacking crew let AI tools do the breaking in at scale
We have been told for a while that criminals would automate their way through AI, and Cisco's security researchers have now put a case on paper. A Chinese-speaking group used AI tools built for security testing to hunt for weaknesses, fix its own broken code and write up the results as it went. Researchers found the target list it had left exposed: roughly 170,000 web addresses, across education, media, technology and gaming in five countries. None of this is a new kind of attack. What changed is the number of doors one small crew can try in a week, and defences are usually sized for the old number.

The record labels suing AI companies just wrote one a cheque
The music business spent this week doing two opposite things. Universal, Sony and Warner have been suing AI firms over how their catalogues were used for training. This week all three joined a $76 million round in Stability AI, the company behind the Stable Diffusion image generator, alongside Electronic Arts and AMD's investment arm. Read it next to Australia throwing AI songs off the charts: one half of an industry draws the line in public while the other half buys a seat at the table. Suing and funding at once is what a negotiation looks like when neither side can afford to lose, and we are going to see a lot more of it.
