Editor’s Note

China’s STAR Market opened its fifth set of listing standards to AI model companies — unprofitable hard-tech firms get an IPO fast lane; Google DeepMind lost two core AI talents in 48 hours amid tech-lag and failed launches. On the paper side: quantum-AI circuit generation, GPT-5.4 autonomous chemistry, VideoLlama3, and Oxford’s sub-0.1% jailbreak alignment.
