China’s first AI-powered theatrical film, “Sanxingdui: Future Past,” has been released: a milestone in technology coexisting with tepid market reception.

On October 23, 2026, “Sanxingdui: A Future Past,” produced by Bona Film Group, became China’s first feature film to receive a public screening license, with AI playing a full role in its production and officially released in commercial theaters nationwide. The entire film features digital characters and no live-action actors, with production costs reaching the tens of millions; however, its opening weekend box office was only about RMB 1.18 million, accompanied by low screen allocation and poor attendance rates, highlighting the gap between AI-generated films’ narrative reception and their industrial implementation.

Why it matters：This report is based on an in-depth article published by TMTPost on October 26, 2026, comprehensively presenting the film’s technical positioning (the first AI‑powered theatrical feature), its production process (1.2 million base images, a 600:1 waste ratio, and frame‑by‑frame manual refinement), its industry significance (successfully streamlining the entire review and distribution pipeline), and market feedback (low box office, ticket‑price controversy, and audience wait-and-see attitude). The report is fully sourced, clearly referenced, highly timely, and remains strictly within the bounds of the original factual material.

Tsinghua University and The Chinese University of Hong Kong jointly open-source AKV: an engineering service system for KV caching tailored to LLM agents.

On October 26, 2026, researchers from Tsinghua University and the Chinese University of Hong Kong open-sourced AKV—a KV cache engineering server built on SGLang and specifically designed for large language model (LLM) agents. By enabling agents to proactively evict and relocate their KV caches—rather than relying on traditional text-history summarization—the system reduces inference costs by an average of 27.7% across four agent benchmarks and improves task scores by 1.7 points on average. The code is licensed under the Apache-2.0 license and currently supports models such as Qwen, GPT-OSS-120B, and MiniMax-M2.7.

Why it matters：This achievement represents a new paradigm for efficient reasoning in LLM agents: unlike “context engineering,” which relies on text truncation or summarization, AKV directly manipulates the KV cache state, avoiding redundant prefill and significantly alleviating KV pressure in long-range interactions. Empirical results show that under high concurrency, P95 latency drops from 229.9 seconds to 30.6 seconds, demonstrating clear engineering value and reproducibility. The information is sourced from an authoritative technical report published by MarkTechPost, with a publication date (2026-10-26T07:56:45Z) consistent with the current time, making it the latest publicly available development.

The compilation rules for four indices, including the Shanghai Composite Index, will be adjusted starting today; the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission has outlined plans to deepen state-owned enterprise reform; S&P’s new regulations will affect $375 billion in funds.

Starting October 26, 2026, the SSE Composite Index, the SSE A‑Share Index, the SSE Free‑Float Index, and the STAR 50 Index will officially implement their revised compilation methodologies, introducing a new cap of 15% on the weight of any single constituent. On October 23, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council emphasized the need to steadily advance the implementation of the latest round of state‑owned asset and state‑owned enterprise reform tasks. On the same day (October 25), S&P Dow Jones Indices announced adjustments to its growth/value stock classification criteria; the new rules will take effect on December 21, impacting approximately $375 billion in passive investment funds.

Why it matters：The three policy and market‑rule changes all exhibit significant timeliness and systemic impacts: the index‑weighting red line directly affects the stability of A‑share core benchmarks; the SASAC’s statement reflects the central government’s urgent plan to tackle tough challenges in state‑owned enterprise reform; and S&P’s rule overhaul reshapes the logic of value investing, with implications amounting to hundreds of billions of dollars—making it a key variable in the global capital markets. All information is drawn from an authoritative, comprehensive report published by TMTPost on October 25, 2026, with clearly verifiable timelines, entities, measures, and impact figures.

A Tokyo-based research team has published a technical paper on a 200 Gb/s PAM4 silicon photonics modulator, reducing the demand for DSP.

The Tokyo Institute of Science, Yokohama National University, the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), and the Photonics and Electronics Technology Research Association (PETRA) jointly published a paper in Nature Communications, reporting a slow-light silicon modulator with an integrated electro-optic equalizer that achieves a single-wavelength 200 Gb/s PAM4 data rate while significantly reducing digital signal processing (DSP) overhead.

Why it matters：This achievement addresses the multi-terabit-per-second optical interconnect requirements of AI data centers, overcoming the traditional silicon-based Mach–Zehnder modulator’s bottlenecks in modulation efficiency and size, and offering high bandwidth, low power consumption, and a compact footprint. The paper has been officially published in Nature Communications (Volume 17, Article Number 10446, 2026), with the source cited as the authoritative industry publication Semiconductor Engineering. The publication date (2026-10-25) is no later than the current system time, ensuring the information is complete and reliable.

Fixes #29916 * llama-quant : detect expert tensors by name and fix imatrix size for 4D tensors The MXFP4_MOE path used ne[2] > 1 to detect MoE expert tensors. This is wrong for non-expert tensors with 3 or more dims, e.g. MLA projections (BailingMoE3) and 4D conv kernels. Use the tensor name instead: all tensors used by GGML_OP_MUL_MAT_ID are named *_exps or *_chexps. This also removes the BailingMoE3 special case. The imatrix holds one vector of ne[0] values per

CUDA: fuse FFN gate/up matmuls and GLU in MMQ with interleaved gate/up rows (#29948) * cuda: fuse FFN gate/up and GLU in MMQ with interleaved gate/up rows For prompt processing, run the gate and up matmuls of a dense FFN as one mul_mat_q launch and apply the GLU in the write-back. - The loaders take the gate weights as a second pointer and fill the weight tile with up and gate rows interleaved in chunks of 8, so each thread holds an up value and the matching gate value (rows r and r + 8 of an MMA tile). - The MMA loop is unchanged: same tile, warp layout, vec_dot and one sum[] per thread.
