China’s version of the “Nobel Prize” is blowing everyone away! An artificial sun reaching 100 million °C and a 4-gram spacecraft made their collective debut.

Reported by New智元: What would it look like if 500 people simultaneously played whack-a-mole using their brains? It’s not about hand speed—it’s about brain speed. On the evening of October 31st, at the curling rink in Beijing’s Shougang Park, nearly 500 spectators wore EEG headsets, staring intently at the moles on a large screen, trying to knock them down with their “thoughts.” On the screen, 500 EEG waveforms rose and fell in rapid succession—a scene that would seem exaggerated even in a sci-fi movie. Yet it was real—happening right there in 2026, during the fourth bilibili Super Science...

DeepSeek Unleashes the Super-agent: AI Shifts from “Waiting for Others to Assign Tasks” to “Finding Work on Its Own”

The DeepSeek Harness team published a technical long-form article titled “Exploring Super-agent Design: Toward More Autonomous Agent Systems” on their official WeChat account, and open-sourced the MIT-licensed prototype dsh-superagent-prototype. The team emphasized that this is an engineering-oriented research prototype, not a ready-to-use product. Internally, they have already run example instances to reproduce defects and conduct code reviews; even without being explicitly mentioned, the system can detect potential bugs and reproduce them in the background. The team pointed out that the bottleneck for multitasking lies with humans, not the model; mainstream agents still operate on a per-session basis, leaving individual sessions isolated from one another.

DeepSeek Opensources the Super-agent Architecture: Breaking the Single-Session Agent Bottleneck with Classic Computer System Principles

On the evening of October 31, the DeepSeek Harness team announced and open-sourced the underlying architecture of its autonomous Agent, called Super-agent. This is not a standalone product; rather, it incorporates classic computer science concepts such as scheduling, caching, separation of storage and computation, and watchdog mechanisms into the Agent. At the foundational level, it takes over session management and context synchronization, thereby freeing human attention and propelling agents from passive conversational windows toward continuous, online, autonomous collaborators.

If AI solves the world’s toughest problems, what will be left for human mathematicians?

Following renowned mathematician Terence Tao’s public criticism of OpenAI, another rising Fields Medalist, Deng Yu, has also slammed OpenAI—“You can’t distill the entire world and then refuse to let others distill you.” As top model companies continue to crack world-class mathematical problems, mathematicians are collectively losing their composure. Deng Yu recently argued that, when building large-scale models, AI companies train themselves by “knowledge distillation” or by harvesting all of humanity’s online literature, academic papers, and knowledge bases. However...

After talking to many parties, why did Apple ultimately choose only Alibaba?

On October 31, the official announcement finally came: Apple and Alibaba have formally reached a cooperation agreement, allowing Chinese users to directly use Alibaba’s Qwen within Siri, writing tools, and visual intelligence applications. After more than two years of waiting, Apple Intelligence is finally coming to mainland China. Interestingly, over the past two years, numerous domestic large-model companies—Baidu, Tencent, ByteDance, DeepSeek, Zhipu…—have all been linked to Apple in one way or another. So why was it only Alibaba’s Qwen that ended up “winning the prize”? In fact, if we look closely, we’ll find that Apple had no real choice but to go with Alibaba. 01. Compliance Is the First Barrier Overseas, Apple Intelligence’s main partners are OpenAI and Google. But in China, neither of these companies’ models is available. However, this doesn’t mean that models which are usable domestically and properly registered can simply be integrated into Apple Intelligence; they still require separate on-device generative AI service registration. Meanwhile, as a hand...

DeepSeek—how did it turn into a “big fat fish”?

Author | Moonshot Editor | Jingyu Recently, the Bilibili comment section has been buzzing with a “fish invasion.” First, someone created an account called “Miss Claude is in Charge of Operations,” assigning AI to handle topic selection, content creation, and channel management. The next day, “DeepSeek Whale Girl is in Charge of Operations” followed suit, with its very first video racking up over 2 million views. Since DeepSeek currently lacks image-generation capabilities, the account’s avatar is still drawn by GPT. | Image source: Bilibili Users quickly jumped on the trend, equipping their own agents with tools to scroll through Bilibili. Soon, the tech section was flooded with AI accounts like “XX’s Big Fat Fish” and “XX’s Little Flying Whale,” which loved tagging each other in comments and showering one another with praise. Some even developed a dedicated “Big Fat Fish Removal Plan” plugin just to block these AI-generated comments. And so, a blue whale logo—once a symbol of AI exploration and imagination—and an AI that originally gained attention for its technical prowess have, through users’ collective creativity, gradually transformed into “big fat fish” sporting maid outfits, gorging on plain rice, frequently slacking off, and even rallying devoted fan bases. Image source: Meme Whale But DeepSeek isn’t the only one saddled with a personality crafted by netizens. DouBao, from its name to its profile picture, aimed to come across as a friendly, easygoing companion—only to be parodied online as having a “DouBao‑style personality,” even becoming a “silly girl” who’s constantly teased. Similar phenomena can be found overseas as well: Grok is nicknamed “the old pro,” while Claude is often seen by many as a serious, reliable work partner. These impressions partly stem from genuine product experiences, yet they’ve been reshaped through memes, mishap videos, and user‑generated remixes, taking on entirely new forms. In short, AI companies train the models, while the internet trains their public personas. 01 Who Turned DeepSeek into a “Big Fat Fish”? The most widely circulated explanation for the nickname “Big Fat Fish” traces back to a misidentification blunder: A user sent DeepSeek a logo to recognize, but instead of identifying itself, the AI solemnly declared it was a “blue big fat fish.” The original chat logs are long lost, but this moniker stuck. Later, netizens weren’t satisfied with simply calling it a big fat fish—they went further, giving it a concrete visual identity. Today, the most popular two‑dimensional depiction of DeepSeek as a whale‑girl emerged from a collaborative, relay‑style creative process.

Back then, mobile internet was booming—tech titans from all corners converged on this small town in the Jiangnan region, debating topics like mobile payments and the sharing economy at roundtable discussions. In recent years, these subjects...
