Editor’s Note

OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 family formally launched (Sol/Terra/Luna) — the first flagship models released after the US lifted its frontier-model publishing restrictions, introducing Max deep-reasoning and Ultra multi-agent collaboration modes. Reuters reports DeepSeek secretly started an in-house AI inference chip project a year ago, aiming to shed reliance on Nvidia/Huawei and control the hardware layer — another step in China’s full-stack AI autonomy.
