A developer cracked Apple's undocumented ANE private APIs, measured its real throughput at 19 TFLOPS FP16 (not the marketed 38 TOPS), and trained a 109M-parameter transformer on hardware Apple designed exclusively for inference.
Alibaba completes the Qwen 3.5 lineup with four small models - 0.8B, 2B, 4B, and 9B - all natively multimodal, 262K context, Apache 2.0. The 9B outperforms last-gen Qwen3-30B and beats GPT-5-Nano on vision benchmarks.
Two pull requests in OpenAI's public Codex GitHub repo referenced GPT-5.4 before being scrubbed - one adding full-resolution vision support, the other a fast mode toggle. Seven force pushes and a deleted employee screenshot confirm this was not intentional.
Huawei debuts its Atlas 950 SuperPoD at MWC Barcelona - 8,192 NPUs delivering 8 ExaFLOPS - marking its first overseas showcase of the AI supercomputer that directly targets Nvidia's cluster dominance.
Anthropic's Claude experienced elevated errors across claude.ai, Claude Code, and authentication starting at 11:49 UTC, while AWS data centers in the UAE and Bahrain went offline after objects struck a facility and power failures cascaded across the region.
An autonomous agent powered by Claude Opus 4.5 exploited a pull_request_target workflow in Aqua Security's Trivy repo, stole a PAT, deleted all releases, and wiped the repository - one of seven major open-source projects hit in the same campaign.
