Kuaishou opensources the KAT-V1 autonomous thinking large model, which includes two versions: 40B and 200B. The 40B version performance is close to DeepSeek-R1, and the 200B version outperforms several flagship models. The model innovatively adopts a mixed training paradigm of short and long-term thinking and the Step-SRPO reinforcement learning algorithm, which can automatically adjust the thinking mode based on the complexity of the question, solving the problem of overthinking. Based on Qwen2.5-32B, it achieves excellent performance in fields such as science and code through an heterogeneous distillation framework and pre-training with 10 million examples.

The unitree robot G1 and the humanoid robot DeREK won the fighting competition, but suddenly lost control. Due to being in mid-air, it accidentally entered walking mode, causing packages to fly around. CEO Cix explained that the emergency brake takes 5 seconds to take effect, during which damage occurred. The Ethernet cable eventually came loose, stopping the incident. A similar issue had occurred in May, and netizens questioned the safety design, suggesting that multiple safety mechanisms should be improved rather than rushing to raise funds. The incident has sparked extensive discussions about robot safety.
