1. OpenAI Cuts Valuation to $1.25 Trillion, Seeking to Raise Up to $30 Billion

OpenAIValuationFunding

According to The Decoder, OpenAI has lowered its valuation target to $1.25 trillion and plans to raise up to $30 billion. The adjustment reflects a broader trend of AI industry valuations returning to rationality.

  • OpenAI's valuation had previously been estimated by the market at more than $200 billion
  • This funding round will still be one of the largest in AI industry history
  • The valuation cut is tied to the company's commercialization progress and intensifying market competition
  • After the GPT-6 series launch, OpenAI faces pressure from Anthropic, Google and others in the frontier model race
Editor's note: OpenAI's valuation pulling back from its peak reflects investors' adjustment to near-term return expectations for the AI industry. Still, a $1.25 trillion valuation keeps it firmly among the world's most valuable private companies, and the $30 billion raise will provide ample ammunition for compute infrastructure and model research.

2. Meta's New Terms: Content From Affiliated Sites Can Be Scraped for AI Training Starting October 30

MetaCopyrightAI Training

According to Nieman Lab, Meta has updated its terms of service. The new terms, effective October 30, stipulate that Meta may use content from websites affiliated with platform-linked businesses for the development, improvement and research and training of its AI products.

  • The new policy applies to all business accounts that promote content on Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger
  • Meta has previously reached AI licensing deals with CNN, Fox News, USA Today and People Inc.
  • But the new terms may let Meta bypass licensing deals and obtain content from a broader range of online publishers
  • Business accounts that do not agree to the terms may lose their ability to promote on Meta platforms
Point of contention: The change has raised widespread concern in the news industry. Critics argue that Meta is effectively using its platform monopoly to force content creators to contribute training data for free, which could further aggravate the power imbalance between traditional media and technology platforms.

On October 24, Agibot Expedition A3 launched a Guinness World Record challenge at the Jinan Yellow River International Convention and Exhibition Center in Shandong, successfully setting the world record for the most humanoid robots dancing simultaneously.

  • This is another milestone achievement for China in the humanoid robotics field
  • Expedition A3 demonstrated outstanding motion control and coordination capabilities
  • Multiple robots completed complex dance moves in sync, placing extremely high demands on real-time communication and stability
  • Agibot has recently continued to accelerate its commercial deployment
Technical breakthrough: Multi-robot synchronized dancing requires millisecond-level synchronization accuracy and involves core technologies such as motion planning, real-time communication and force-control feedback. The record fully demonstrates China's world-leading level in motion control for humanoid robots.
