Sam Altman said in an interview that it was just right to study for two years and drop out of university. He believes that two years at Stanford have already provided him with the core knowledge needed for entrepreneurship, and spending another two years would bring little additional value and low cost-effectiveness. In today's rapidly evolving technological environment, this growth path may also suit many other young people.

Wang Li, former VP of Security at OpenAI and a Peking University alumnus, resigned due to health issues, stating she fell ill frequently over the past seven months, with stress exceeding her capacity to handle. She considered transferring positions but ultimately chose to leave. This leading figure in the field of AI security pressed the pause button after seven years of rapid progress in Silicon Valley.

The main battlefield of large model services is shifting toward retrieval-augmented question answering, multi-document summarization, and long-range agents. The request prompt is composed of dozens to hundreds of semantically independent segments (retrieved documents, skills explanations, memory, historical rounds), forming ultra-long context with tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of tokens. The pre-filling stage dominates the computing costs, becoming the most prominent cost source for service providers, and triggering more challenging problems.

Westlake University and Alibaba DAMO Academy developed 'Guiyuan', a stem cell AI model. It uses a large-scale combinatorial perturbation dataset to tackle the costly, trial-and-error reprogramming challenge. Covering 25 factors and nearly 4 million combos, its bimodal encoding strategy accurately predicts effects, enabling efficient reprogramming.....

On July 13, Hello Inc. launched Match, an AI-powered dating product for college students, piloted in Shanghai universities with over 10,000 users. Verified via campus email, users complete personality and values questionnaires for deep AI-based matching. A standalone app is planned to enhance mobile experience.....

Shenzhen University of Technology will put 2026 freshmen in experimental classes, phasing out mandatory English courses for cross-cultural communication courses. Provost Zhao Wei says AI masters rote English tasks, so the reform shifts focus to human cross-cultural skills.....

Fudan University's data mining final exam turned into a 'question setter contest': students create 10 calculation problems with unique answers for AI to solve. Grading is reversed: more AI errors mean higher student scores, motivating deep mastery, designing challenging questions, testing AI weaknesses, and innovating teaching.....

The AI boom is dimming the prestige of top US universities, as graduates face unprecedented job struggles. At the University of Arizona, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt was booed for calling AI changes profound, reflecting students' fear of job displacement, especially in computer science.....

Peking University and DeepSeek jointly open-source the DSpark large model inference acceleration framework, providing a breakthrough solution to high concurrency latency and computing power waste caused by the need for full computing power for each token during autoregressive generation.

An international team including Shanghai Jiao Tong University released SWE-Explore, a new benchmark that decouples code search and repair stages, first quantifying AI coding agents' weaknesses in line-level precision. It breaks the traditional single metric of final fix rate, offering a new standard for evaluating upstream search quality, advancing deeper AI software engineering assessment.....

California State University has signed a $16.9 million agreement with OpenAI, becoming the largest-scale ChatGPT educational application pilot. Over 500,000 students and teachers within the university system will use "ChatGPT Edu," aiming to create the largest AI-driven public university system in the United States. This move marks the deep integration of AI technology in education, with campuses introducing AI administrators to support career development.

A student team from Huazhong University of Science and Technology used their self-developed AI platform 'Ai Wu' to complete the initial version of a 10-minute long video titled 'New Jianghan Panorama' in just 48 hours, demonstrating efficient creative capabilities. The video condenses over a thousand years of history of Jiangcheng and has attracted widespread attention. While AI video generation is rapidly growing, it still faces challenges.

NVIDIA, in collaboration with Tsinghua University, the University of Toronto, and Vector Institute, introduces Gamma-World, a multi-agent world model that overcomes traditional single-agent limitations. It handles complex scenarios with multiple players operating and observing simultaneously in virtual worlds, synchronizing temporal and cross-view information to revolutionize video world models from single-player to multi-agent collaboration.....

The Chinese University of Hong Kong team proposed the SLIM framework to address skill management challenges in evolving large language model agents from conversational to task-oriented capabilities. It enables dynamic skill lifecycle management, breaking the industry's blind skill accumulation, offering a new approach for efficient external ability management.....

Mianbi Intelligence, in collaboration with Tsinghua University and the OpenBMB open-source community, released and open-sourced the low-bit large model training achievement BitCPM-CANN, natively completed on the Huawei Ascend platform. This achievement includes four model sizes from 0.5B to 8B, with excellent performance, releasing six times the memory benefit, significantly advancing the lightweight and engineering deployment of edge-side AI lar....

Mianbi Intelligence, in collaboration with Tsinghua University and the OpenBMB open-source community, released and open-sourced China's first ternary (1.58-bit) large model, BitCPM-CANN, trained on the Huawei Ascend platform. This model achieves a breakthrough in low-bit training, with native development across the full chain from quantization operators to training algorithms. It offers four versions ranging from 0.5B to 8B parameters, showcasing....

The Tsinghua University Storage Lab and the Tencent Hunyuan AI Infra team won the global championship in the MLSys2026 MoE Model Inference Optimization Challenge. To address the inference bottlenecks of the trillion-parameter mixture-of-experts (MoE) architecture on heterogeneous NPUs, the joint team designed a full-chain optimization solution, including the E-Shard strategy, PSUM three-dimensional tensor batch reading, and GEMV path, significantly improving performance.

The Turing Test, proposed by British mathematician Alan Turing in 1950, was confirmed 76 years later by a research team from the University of California, San Diego in a paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Cognitive scientists Cameron Jones and Ben Bergen, professors, provided the first conclusive empirical data through a strict classic three-party Turing Test, marking a milestone moment in the history of computer science.

Large model inference is driving changes in AI infrastructure, with networking architecture innovation becoming key to unlocking hardware potential. Zigong, Yuxun Network, and Tsinghua University presented research on the ZCube networking architecture at ACM SIGCOMM 2025, and successfully deployed it in the GLM-5.1 coding production environment in May 2026. Benchmark tests show that, under unchanged GPUs, software stacks, and applications, the ZCube architecture significantly reduces capital expenditures on switches and optical modules.
