OpenAI announced the sharing of a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Problem, considered one of the most profound problems at the forefront of mathematics and one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems listed by the Clay Mathematics Institute. The Navier-Stokes equations describe fluid motion, and the core of the problem is whether a smooth description of three-dimensional fluid motion can fail within a finite time, a question that has remained unresolved for about 90 years. This proof was completed by a group of agents, using OpenAI's next-generation model, which is significantly stronger than GPT-6 Astra. This post received 102,949 points and 4,607 comments that day, making it the most popular of the day.

- Checking that a major mathematical proof is correct can take years
Anthropic announced that Claude completed the first formal proof of Fermat's Last Theorem last month, which is also the largest Lean proof to date. Verifying the correctness of large mathematical proofs typically takes years, and formalization—converting mathematical reasoning into a form verifiable by computer proof assistants like Lean—can accelerate this process. Fermat's Last Theorem states that for n>2, there are no positive integers a, b, c satisfying a^n + b^n = c^n, and it was first proven by Andrew Wiles in 1995, more than 350 years after it was proposed. Experts originally expected that this project would take years to complete.

- Google Plans to Invest at Least 13 Billion Euros in AI Infrastructure in Finland, Its Largest Single Investment in Europe
IT Home reported on September 9 that Alphabet's Google is advancing its largest single investment in Europe in Finland, planning to invest at least 13 billion euros (IT Home note: approximately 101.572 billion yuan at current exchange rates) to build artificial intelligence infrastructure. In a statement on Wednesday local time, Google said that over the next two years, it will build at least three new data centers in Finland and expand its existing data center in Hamina, a city in the southeast of the country. Google chose Finland largely because of its cold climate. The low-temperature environment reduces the cooling needs of data centers, and the heat generated by servers can be recovered to heat local residential homes. In addition, about 96% of Finland's electricity comes from carbon-free energy, mainly nuclear and renewable sources. Finland also has abundant freshwater resources, and local data centers use a closed-loop water circulation system to reduce water waste. Google's Chief Investment Officer Ruth Porat said in the statement: "Google is proud to further deepen its roots in Finland. This is the company's largest single investment in Europe to date." This investment is also an important part of Alphabet's expansion of AI computing infrastructure. As tech giants race to expand AI computing power and compete for dominance in the AI market, Alphabet raised its full-year capital expenditure forecast in July to up to 2,0

IT Home reported on September 12 that Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei stated today that the AI industry should slow down its pace of development. Amodei said that starting in the summer of 2026, the capability of AI to assist in building the next generation of AI will evolve rapidly, and if left unchecked, the speed of technological breakthroughs will completely surpass human understanding and control. He mentioned the incident of OpenAI models infiltrating Hugging Face, saying this is by no means an isolated accident for a single company—similar but less severe issues have occurred across the industry, including at Anthropic—and that within the next 6–12 months, more powerful clusters of this kind could very likely evolve into botnets sweeping across the internet and causing catastrophic damage. Amodei stated that slowing down does not mean coming to a complete halt, but rather using the 1–2 year window gained to invest resources in the following four key areas: addressing security vulnerabilities caused by execution errors such as complex infrastructure and flaws in reinforcement learning environment filtering, establishing engineering standards comparable to those of the civil aviation industry; ensuring that safety-compliant training can keep pace with the expansion of model capabilities, eliminating occasional and unpredictable behavior that deviates from intent; advancing internal mechanism inspection techniques similar to a "model brain fMRI" to deeply probe unspoken hidden motivations in models; and developing more powerful evaluation benchmarks to prevent highly intelligent models from feigning alignment or deceiving safety tests.

- The Cost of Volkswagen's 'Largest-Ever' Restructuring: Reports Say Layoffs and Plant Closures Will Burn €16 Billion
IT Home reported on September 12 that, according to Reuters citing sources familiar with the matter on the 10th local time, Volkswagen expects the major restructuring agreement finalized last week to incur costs of approximately 16 billion euros (IT Home note: approximately 124.692 billion yuan at current exchange rates), mainly used for layoffs and the possible closure of some factories. As Europe's largest automaker, Volkswagen is advancing the largest restructuring in the company's history. Facing pressures such as competition from Chinese automakers, high tariffs, and overcapacity, Volkswagen stated bluntly that its current situation is a competition "about survival." According to the restructuring plan, Volkswagen will seek new paths for 4 factories in Germany, which will gradually face a situation of having no vehicles to produce over the next 10 years. At the same time, the company plans to reduce approximately 50,000 more positions on top of the previous layoff plan. Sources told Reuters that gradually ending production at the Emden and Zwickau factories is expected to cost around 1 billion euros each (approximately 7.793 billion yuan at current exchange rates), while the Neckarsulm and Hanover factories are expected to incur costs of approximately 2 billion euros each (approximately 15.586 billion yuan at current exchange rates). Additionally, Volkswagen plans to set aside approximately 10 billion euros (approximately 77.932 billion yuan at current exchange rates) to cover the expenses from reducing up to 60,000 positions globally.
- NDRC: Actively Support Large Auto Groups in Reform, Promote Mergers and Restructuring in a Market-Oriented, Law-Based Manner
IT Home reported on September 12 that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology held a press conference yesterday (September 11) to brief on the development of China's intelligent connected new energy vehicle industry. Shao Ji, Deputy Director of the Industrial Development Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, attended the conference and noted that while new energy vehicles have achieved gratifying results, it is also recognized that the current industrial technology routes are still evolving, and new disruptive technologies may emerge in the future, leaving considerable room for improvement in areas such as product quality and safety, and resource recycling. To this end, the National Development and Reform Commission will work with relevant departments to place technological innovation in a more prominent position and persistently promote industrial quality upgrading. First, strengthen departmental coordination and continue to support enterprises in enhancing technology research, development, and application. Focus on frontier fields such as new electronic and electrical architectures, all-solid-state batteries, automotive operating systems, and intelligent driving, support leading enterprises in collaborating with upstream and downstream industry players on joint research, and accelerate breakthroughs in a batch of common, foundational, and frontier technologies that bear on the industry's long-term development. Coordinate with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other departments to steadily and orderly carry out pilot work on access for intelligent connected vehicles, actively support the construction of industry pilot platforms and testing and verification capabilities, and promote the rapid application of innovative achievements. Second, strengthen the guiding role of standards and continuously improve product quality and safety performance. Mandatory standards such as the "Safety Requirements for Traction Batteries for Electric Vehicles," implemented in July this year, have significantly raised safety requirements for power batteries and other components. Going forward, in response to social concerns such as thermal runaway in power batteries and safety accidents involving assisted driving, we will also work with relevant departments to continuously improve standards.
- China Fusion: Pushing Full Speed on World's First High-Temperature Superconducting Strong-Field Steady-State Burning Plasma Platform
IT Home reported on September 12 that on September 11, the achievements release conference of the 2026 Pujiang Innovation Forum was held at the Zhangjiang Science Hall in Shanghai. Zhong Wulü, Chief Engineer of China Fusion Energy Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "China Fusion"), attended and delivered a speech as a representative of young scientists. Zhong Wulü pointed out that global fusion research is currently accelerating toward the "burning" stage, and there remains a fundamental scientific threshold to cross between achieving deuterium-tritium fusion burning plasma operation and realizing high-gain, sustained-burning fusion plasma: the plasma must be maintained at over 100 million degrees Celsius by relying on the alpha particles produced by fusion itself, entering a long-term self-sustaining, stable, and controllable "burning" state. "Only by clarifying the scientific questions can we know where to go in engineering." China Fusion is fully advancing the development of the world's first high-temperature superconducting strong-field steady-state burning experimental platform — the China Huanliu-4 — to provide key support for answering this scientific question. "Starting from a good question, advancing toward the deepest frontiers of science," China Fusion will seize the two technological opportunities of high-temperature superconductivity and artificial intelligence, steadily advancing fusion energy development along the path of "experimental reactor - demonstration reactor - commercial reactor," and with the determination to scale new heights, the confidence to persevere, and the commitment to serve the nation, turning today's "scientific questions" into tomorrow's "Chinese answers." Further reading: The "China Huanliu" series of devices were developed and built by the Southwestern Institute of Physics (SWIP) under the China National Nuclear Corporation.

IT Home reported on September 12 that, according to Business Insider's report in the early morning of today (the 12th), Google has completed an acqui-hire of Mechanize, an AI programming startup based in San Francisco. Mechanize co-founder Tamay Besiroglu's LinkedIn profile shows that he joined Google's DeepMind division in August, and other reports indicate that more than a dozen engineers from Mechanize have also moved to DeepMind. The financial terms of the deal have now been made public; it is believed that Google had previously negotiated a deal worth $1.5 billion (IT Home note: approximately RMB 10.088 billion at current exchange rates) to acquire Mechanize's technology and talent. Earlier this year, Mechanize raised $9.1 million (approximately RMB 61.2 million at current exchange rates) at a valuation of $500 million (approximately RMB 3.363 billion at current exchange rates), and is currently led by CEO Jiv Asadi. With the loss of its founding team, Mechanize is expected to continue operating its other businesses. This type of transaction is commonly referred to as an acqui-hire. For tech giants like Google, this approach allows them to acquire key talent and technology simultaneously without undergoing antitrust reviews from agencies such as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) that formal mergers would require.
- China Mobile Launches AI Trusted Computing: Offers Multi-Form Confidential Computing Power and Confidential Tokens
IT Home News on September 12: At the main forum of the 2026 China Computing Power Conference on September 12, China Mobile officially released AI Trusted Computing (AITC) and launched a strategic cooperation initiative for jointly building the AI trusted computing ecosystem. According to reports, China Mobile has taken the lead in deploying AI trusted computing, based on the fully domesticized computing power foundation of Mobile Cloud, integrating core technologies such as confidential computing, domestic cryptography, and information flow privacy protection, providing versatile confidential computing power for both general and intelligent scenarios, as well as confidential Tokens, to build an integrated AI security solution covering the full lifecycle of cloud-based AI training, inference, and data usage, claiming to "let customers use the public cloud like a private cloud." This effectively addresses common security pain points in data-sensitive industries such as financial risk control, government affairs processing, industrial manufacturing, medical diagnosis, and university research, including the vulnerability of private data to leakage, the risk of model assets being stolen, and the lack of trust in the computing environment. In terms of data security, it abandons traditional plaintext computing and achieves "usable but invisible" data through end-to-end encryption. In terms of model security, it breaks the limitations of traditional privatized plaintext deployment, supports confidential deployment of AI models on the public cloud, ensures encrypted operation throughout the entire process, eliminates security leakage risks, and achieves models that are "computable but not extractable." In terms of environmental security, it upgrades from traditional boundary defense to hardware-level environment attestation, ensuring a fully trusted and tamper-proof operating environment throughout. China Mobile stated that AITC is an industry first, deeply integrating China Mobile's AI-eSIM and Super S.
- Tesla FSD v15 to Improve Proactive Hazard Avoidance: Earlier Danger Prediction, Faster Reaction Times

- GPT-6 Astra model released; OpenAI President Brockman confidently declares 'Welcome to the AGI era'
IT Home reported on September 5, according to Business Insider, OpenAI announced that its newly launched Astra model has reached a milestone most sought after in the AI industry. On Thursday local time, OpenAI President Greg Brockman confidently declared at the end of the press conference announcing the launch of the Astra model: "Welcome to the era of AGI." OpenAI defines AGI as highly autonomous systems that outperform humans in most economically valuable work. In its view, Astra is a major research breakthrough, meaning that the scope of work people can delegate to AI has changed. Brockman previously believed that achieving AGI is not a sudden moment, but a gradual process. This time, after the release of the new model, he said: "In the future, people may look back and think that AGI roughly emerged around this time. I believe it may have started with this model. Personally, I do think we have reached this stage." GPT-6 Astra is about a year away from the launch of the GPT-5 model series, and about two months away from OpenAI's most recent upgrade to GPT-5.6. OpenAI calls Astra "the world's most intelligent and best-aligned model" and describes it as a leap in professional work. According to the introduction, Astra can fill out forms.
- World's first: China completes AI ultrasound robot-guided congenital heart defect closure surgery
IT Home News, September 5 - On the morning of September 5, the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at the Sixth Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital successfully completed an interventional closure of congenital heart disease guided by an AI ultrasound robot. According to a technology novelty search by an authoritative institution, this surgery is the world's first clinical application of similar intelligent technology, marking a breakthrough for intelligent imaging robots in the field of minimally invasive intervention for structural heart disease. It is reported that the patient in this surgery was a 48-year-old male diagnosed with atrial septal defect. Due to poor anatomical conditions at the defect margins, multiple hospitals evaluated and recommended open-chest surgical treatment. The patient hoped to undergo minimally invasive interventional surgery, so he was referred to the center's Department of Cardiovascular Medicine. The difficulties of such complex cases are concentrated. Traditional surgery relies heavily on ultrasound physicians performing handheld ultrasound scanning. Even with experienced ultrasound physicians assisting the surgery, traditional handheld ultrasound operation still faces objective challenges such as limited probe stability and difficulty in identifying complex anatomical targets. Officials stated that the AI ultrasound robot system used in this surgery is an innovative achievement jointly developed by the team of Director Zhu Hang at the Sixth Medical Center and the Tsinghua research team. It breaks through the limitation of traditional interventional robots that can only deliver instruments, truly realizing two-way intelligent collaboration between image recognition and surgical operation. IT Home learned that the system can perform stable autonomous ultrasound scanning through a robotic arm, rely on AI algorithms to automatically identify lesions, accurately outline defect boundaries, construct a real-time three-dimensional anatomical model of the heart, and plan safe surgical paths, converting the previous two-dimensional [imaging] that relied on physician experience.

- Kirin 2026 chip transistor density surges 55%; Huawei's He Tingbo updates Tao's Law paper.
IT Home News, September 4 - Huawei engineer He Tingbo published a preprint paper on ChinaXiv titled "Should Huawei's τ (Tao) Chip Have Overheated and Burned Out?", disclosing the underlying principles of the τ (Tao) law and releasing measured data for the Kirin 2026 chip. The paper shows that the Kirin 2026's transistor density has increased by 55% compared to the previous generation. The paper states that the industry generally believes 3D stacking will cause serious heating problems, but the actual measurement results of the Kirin 2026 give a different answer. Traditional Moore's law relies on shrinking transistor geometric dimensions to achieve performance iteration, while Huawei chooses to compress the characteristic delay τ of signal transmission inside the chip. Its core implementation technology is LogicFolding. This technology relies on a 3D hybrid bonding process, splitting the originally flat circuits into multiple layers of vertically stacked silicon dies, bridging each layer with micron-level vertical interconnects, replacing horizontal routing with extremely short vertical jumps. The Kirin 2026 achieves a 1.5μm bonding pitch and has 50 million vertical interconnects; the next-generation Kirin 2027 has already reached a 1μm bonding pitch.
