Z.ai confirms the mystery stealth model that quietly captured a tenth of one router's traffic was GLM-5.3-Flash, priced far below rivals, while Nvidia's earnings day brings a reported Hugging Face acquisition and Amazon tripling its GPU order. Bill Gates renews his robot-tax push as AI-cited layoffs keep climbing, and a government-funded operation is caught seeding articles designed to shape what chatbots say about Gaza.
