Google makes the AI watermark optional, except where the law says no
You have got used to spotting the little AI badge on a generated image. Google has made it optional in its Gemini app, so anyone can switch it off on the images, videos and music they make, everywhere except countries where the law requires it. That exception is the EU. Europeans will keep seeing a mark the rest of the world no longer sees, on content that crosses borders in seconds. Three days ago Anthropic started marking everything its Claude assistant writes, to satisfy the same law. Google just went the other way, and the technology is identical on both sides of that border.

The Chinese lab that gives its models away is holding this one back
The Chinese lab Z.ai has built its reputation on letting anyone download its models for free. On Friday it launched its new model, GLM-5.3, and held the free version back. During training it got far better at breaking into software than the company expected, going from spotting individual weaknesses to working out how to chain them together. Working with Chinese security teams, the model has already found 2,436 security holes in software the rest of us depend on, some undiscovered for decades. The free download follows in two weeks, once the security review is finished. OpenAI made the same call on its own model a week ago.

Uber is bringing 2,000 Chinese robotaxis to European streets
Driverless cars built in China are about to start carrying passengers in European cities. Uber and Pony.ai, a Chinese maker of self-driving cars, plan to put more than 2,000 robotaxis into service in five of them. One is already running, in Zagreb. They will not name the other cities or give a date, which usually means talks with local authorities are still going on. Pony.ai builds its cars for roughly a quarter of what Waymo, Google's driverless taxi arm, pays per vehicle, and that is what should worry Waymo. Cheap cars can be put on the road in numbers we have not seen in this market before.

The cheap gas under the AI boom is about to stop being cheap
Every AI answer has a fuel bill behind it, and the big cloud companies have bet that bill on natural gas. Amazon, Meta, Microsoft and Google are all building gas-fired plants for their data centres, on contracts signed while gas was cheap and steady. The energy research firm Noreva now expects wholesale gas prices in parts of the US to more than triple. Fuel is about half the cost of electricity from a large plant, so a tripling lands either on the price of AI or on your own power bill. Nothing about the models changes here. The bill behind them does.

Apple built a separate AI for China and Beijing said yes
Apple has been unable to ship its AI features in China, its second biggest market, because Beijing would not approve them. Reuters reports it has now trained its own model for the country, with help from the Chinese tech group Alibaba. That makes Apple the first foreign company Beijing has cleared to run its own AI there, and it expects to ship within months. Traffic runs both ways this week: Chinese self-driving software is heading for European streets, while an American company had to build a separate brain to be let into China. Law, risk and cost are deciding what we actually get to use, while the models themselves keep getting better.
