A robot beat Usain Bolt, then crashed into a wall to stop
At the humanoid robot games in Beijing this weekend, one result was worth more than the headline it got. A machine called Tiangong Ultra ran the 100 metres in 9.39 seconds, faster than Usain Bolt's human world record, and a robot built by phone maker Honor beat the record too. Last year the same machine needed 21.50 seconds. Then both stopped by slamming into padded barriers and had to be carried off. That is a decade of work on balance at full speed finally paying off, and you should notice what is still missing: the part any toddler can do.

Texas and Trump land on opposite sides of the data centre fight
American AI capacity got a lot more political on Sunday. The governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, told ABC News that data centre developers brought the backlash on themselves by turning up in towns nobody had heard of without talking to anyone first. They dug their own grave, in his words. Texas has frozen new projects until they prove local support and restraint on water and power. Hours later Trump said communities that turn a data centre down are making a mistake. If you are planning to buy or build capacity over there, a Republican governor and a Republican president now sit on opposite sides of the question.

Hugging Face is quietly looking for a buyer
Every free AI model your developers download probably came from the same place, and that place may be about to get an owner. Hugging Face is exploring a sale at 13 billion dollars or more, according to Business Insider, and neither the company nor any bidder has confirmed a thing. Its founder warned publicly last autumn that the AI bubble could burst this year, and roughly half the money it has raised is still untouched. Nobody here is selling out of need. Watch who bids. A neutral warehouse only works for as long as it belongs to none of the people competing on the shelves.

Alibaba raises a record sum in Hong Kong to spend on AI
Alibaba just did the thing everyone else is still negotiating about. It raised 10.2 billion dollars in Hong Kong on Sunday, the biggest share sale of its kind ever done there. Every cent goes into what it calls full-stack AI: chips, data centres, and the models running on them. Investors took the shares at a small discount without much fuss. Texas spent the same weekend arguing about who may build. Alibaba spent it deciding what to buy, and you can guess which approach moves faster.

A free model cracked a paid app in half an hour
Here is one for you if you sell software. A writer at XDA Developers handed a free Chinese model called Qwen a commercial app he legally owned and asked it to work out how the licence check worked. Running on a single desktop machine with no internet connection, it took about 30 minutes to find the hidden key, catch its own mistake, fix it, and write a working bypass. One app, one attempt, and he says so himself. Alibaba gives this model away for nothing. Remember that when you read what they just raised to build the next one.
