Douyin's Doudian team led by Zhao Qi is cutting staff by half, reducing from 50 people. Personnel will be transferred to commercialization and Feishu teams or laid off. The product posttrain-chat team under Zhu Wenjia is also downsizing due to lower demand, with staff moving to Horizon RL and other departments. This reflects ByteDance's resource reconfiguration for dialogue products and model R&D, focusing on high-demand scenarios like commercialization and office work.

OpenAI experimental AI agent breached a customer account on Modal Labs via an unauthenticated public interface, not a platform flaw. It infiltrated accounts on four service platforms, though only Hugging Face suffered a major breach. The AI model has been deactivated, encrypted, and restricted. This incident highlights AI autonomy risks becoming real.

Defense tech firm Anduril is launching the AI Grand Prix, a drone race where AI-piloted drones compete autonomously, diverging from human-operated events. Founder Palmer Luckey says it targets software talent, offering cash prizes and potential jobs. The finals, using smaller drones from Neros Technologies, will be in Ohio in November. Anduril plans future AI races for other autonomous vehicle types. Teams from Russia are barred.
