We highlight Meta's massive multi-billion dollar acquisition of Manus (Butterfly Effect), a Chinese AI Agent developer, marking Meta's third-largest deal ever and appointing founder Xiao Hong as Vice President. Meanwhile, OpenAI is aggressively recruiting a "Head of Preparedness" with a $555,000 annual salary to build rigorous safety frameworks and threat modeling against potential AI risks like cyber-attacks and biological threats. We also analyze WeChat’s official response to storage bloat concerns, where the team clarified that chat logs—not system cache—account for over 70% of storage usage for heavy users. Additionally, this update covers the integration of Huawei’s Qiankun system into Wuling vehicles and the investigation into AI-generated winners in photography contests. These developments underscore a week of intense consolidation in AI talent and heightened focus on both frontier safety and consumer-level software optimization.
