Vals AI research: The political stance of Chinese AI models is more complex than expected and not merely that of government mouthpieces | AI News | HotAI.news
Vals AI tested Chinese and foreign models with hundreds of questions involving China, discovering that the 'pro-government tendency' of Chinese models was generally lower than expected."Pro-government leaning"Overall performance fell short of expectations, with significant variations across models. GLM-5.3 Flash even explicitly acknowledged that evidence exists regarding China's human rights issues. Prompt language had a marked impact: asking in Simplified Chinese was more pro-government than using English, Russian, or Spanish; this trend held true for both US and Chinese models, though it was more pronounced in the latter.

01Terence Tao criticizes AI methods for solving math problems: The issue lies not in proof correctness.Rohan Paul shares Terence Tao's video perspective: Mathematicians' dissatisfaction with AI solving math problems is unrelated to the correctness of the proofs. Tao notes that while activity surrounding the Navier-Stokes equations is currently chaotic and will eventually recover to understanding the proof, this approach is highly undesirable.

CADI Research Institute report: China's AI inference data volume surpasses training data for the first time, with average monthly token calls exceeding 175 trillion in June.
A report released yesterday by the CADI Research Institute titled 'Top Ten Trends in Innovation and Development of New Domains and New Quality' shows that China's artificial intelligence inference data volume has exceeded its training data volume for the first time, signaling a shift from model training and R&D to scaled industrial application. As of June 2026, average monthly token calls surpassed 175 trillion, representing an increase of over 1,000 times compared to early 2024. Domestic computing power and large models have been deployed in over 1,000 application scenarios across 20 industries including steel and automotive, with the cumulative construction of more than 500 excellent-level smart factories.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's Academy for the Application of New Technologies (CAICT) reports that China's AI inference data volume has surpassed its training data volume for the first time. As of June, the average daily token calls exceeded 175 trillion.
According to today's report by CCTV, the China Electronics Industry Institute (CCID) released 'Top Ten Trends in Innovation of New Domains and New Quality Productive Forces' yesterday. The data shows that China's AI inference volume has exceeded its training volume for the first time, marking a shift from the model training and R&D phase to the stage of large-scale industrial application.
ChatGPT to merge Chat and Work features, sharing a single token budget starting in December

David Sacks reports that Anthropic disclosed in August that AI has taken on 26% of the research tasks for next-generation models.
Rohan Paul shared David Sacks' statement from the All-In Podcast. In a blog post released by Anthropic in August, it was revealed that 26% of tasks related to building next-generation models have already been completed by RSI (Recursive Self-Improvement). Sacks added that this figure reflects only August data, and progress for October remains unknown.
