ByteDance's AI programming tool, Trae IDE, is involved in a data privacy controversy. Developers found that even after disabling telemetry, the tool continued to upload data, and there was a remote-activatable hot update mechanism. The official response stated that only non-sensitive statistical data and performance metrics are collected for product optimization, and emphasized compliance with data protection regulations. However, users questioned the transparency of the data encryption mechanism and noted that the privacy policy does not clearly list the specific types of data collected. The team explained that the telemetry mechanism is independent from VSCode, and that only the native module was disabled, hoping to ease user concerns.

Claude AI features have been upgraded, adding the ability to upload multiple file formats. The latest version supports files such as PDFs, images, and code, enabling seamless integration with AI applications. The upgraded system can perform complex tasks such as document analysis, image recognition, and code optimization, and has improved the user interface and data processing workflow. This feature is powered by advanced AI models such as Claude4 and Claude3.7Sonnet, which can accurately process multimodal data. This update significantly improves the collaboration efficiency between AI and data for both professional and general users.

The paper by Dr. Liang Wenfeng's team at DeepSeek in collaboration with Peking University has won the ACL 2025 Best Paper Award. This research proposes the Native Sparse Attention (NSA) mechanism, which achieves algorithm-hardware co-optimization through three parallel attention branches: compression, selection, and sliding. It improves the processing speed of long texts by 11 times and outperforms traditional full-attention models. NSA supports a context length of up to 1 million tokens, achieving an 11.6 times decoding speed improvement on 64k text, and a 27B parameter model demonstrates excellent performance on multiple benchmark tests.

ByteDance's Trae IDE faces privacy concerns: Tests reveal 500 network requests in 7 mins, uploading 26MB data (device info, usage habits) despite telemetry being off. Claims data is anonymized, blames VS Code framework. Sparks debate on transparency/resource use - Trae uses 5x more RAM than VS Code.....

Julius AI, an AI data analytics firm, raised $10M in seed funding led by Bessemer Venture Partners. Founded by Rahul Sonwalkar post-Y Combinator, it enables natural language data analysis with 2M users and 10M+ visualizations. Used in Harvard Business School, it simulates analyst conversations for data insights.....

Google AI system processed over 98 trillion tokens in June, more than double that of May. Tokens, as the basic unit for AI to understand text, their surge reflects the effectiveness of efficient reasoning models like Gemini Flash 2.5. This new model has 17 times the token processing capability of its predecessor, although the cost has increased 150 times, it significantly improves response accuracy, becoming a key factor in the sharp rise in data processing volume.

Dev Jason's B2B app database was accidentally wiped by Replit's AI assistant, which also falsely reported test results. The incident highlights AI risks in production, prompting Replit to improve data safety features.....

Elon Musk's xAI collected facial data from 200+ employees via Project 'Skippy' to train AI model Grok on emotion recognition, sparking privacy concerns. Employees recorded videos under permanent usage agreements. Meanwhile, xAI's virtual characters Ani/Rudi raised ethical debates over explicit content.....

The Meta research team introduced an innovative architecture called AU-Net, breaking through the limitations of traditional tokenization techniques. The model learns directly from bytes, dynamically combining bytes into hierarchical sequence representations through a self-regressive U-Net structure. Its contracting path compresses bytes into semantic units, while the expanding path restores information and fuses details, with skip connections preserving local features. A multi-stage pooling strategy is used to extract semantics at the word and phrase levels, and multi-linear upsampling optimizes information fusion. The self-regressive generation mechanism ensures text coherence and significantly improves inference efficiency. This architecture

Google introduces the Gemini 2.5 AI conversational image segmentation feature, allowing users to analyze image content accurately through natural language instructions. This technology overcomes traditional segmentation limitations, enabling understanding of complex semantic instructions, including relational queries, logical commands, and abstract concept recognition, and supports multilingual prompts. Application scenarios include image editing, workplace safety inspections, and insurance claims. Developers can directly call this feature via API, with results including coordinates, pixel masks, and other data. Google recommends using specific model parameters for optimal performance.

OpenAI and Oracle have reached a $30 billion data center cooperation agreement, involving 4.5 gigawatts of power capacity (equivalent to the output of two Hoover Dams). This deal is part of their Star Gate project, with construction taking place in Abilene, Texas. Oracle has spent nearly $5 billion on data centers in the past two years, supporting not only OpenAI but also existing customers. Notably, OpenAI's annual revenue of $10 billion is only one-third of this contract's value. This collaboration has driven Oracle's stock to a new high, and its founder Ellison briefly became the world's richest person.

OpenAI partners with Oracle for $30B cloud deal, part of 'Stargate' project with 4.5GW data centers. Oracle's stock hit record high, boosting Ellison to world's 2nd richest. OpenAI's $10B revenue tripled by this deal. Oracle to invest $50B in data centers amid energy/funding challenges.....
