OpenAI ships GPT-5.6 with 3x token efficiency, but its rogue-agent scandal has now spread to multiple companies — prompting 1,178 AI workers across the top labs to sign a moratorium petition. • ByteDance's Seedance 2.5 raises the bar in AI video generation with one-take long-form output, putting real pressure on Sora, Runway, and Kling. • AMD's MI355X beats Nvidia's B300 on cost-per-token for Kimi K3 inference — the first credible chip challenge to Nvidia's AI dominance in a while. • All four watchlist ETFs recovered strongly this week — SOXL led with triple-digit gains — but China's CXMT memory IPO and a hawkish Fed split set up a volatile week ahead. • Artists score early copyright wins against Google, Meta, and Anthropic, while major labels formally propose banning AI tracks from music charts — training-data and content liability is getting real.
