Fourier’s Meta Prototype Puts a Spotlight on an 8-Billion-Yuan Robotics Bet

Shanghai’s Fourier Intelligence built a custom humanoid for Meta’s internal research in months. The company already has a rehab business, modest humanoid shipments, and a disclosed pre-money valuation of about 8 billion yuan. A marquee partner tests its engineering—it does not yet prove the equity story.

What to watch for as enterprises move from AI experimentation to autonomous operations

For the past three years, the enterprise artificial intelligence conversation has focused on what models can say. The next three years will be about what systems are allowed to do. That’s a harder problem that better models alone won’t solve. On Wednesday, Oct. 28, I’ll be in Boston for the Bloomberg Tech Event: Building the […] The post What to watch for as enterprises move from AI experimentation to autonomous operations appeared first on SiliconANGLE.

Release: v5.21.0

# Release v5.21.0 ## New Model additions ### MiniCPM-OCR MiniCPM-OCR is a document-understanding model from OpenBMB's MiniCPM-V family. It keeps the MiniCPM-V 4.6 architecture, which pairs a SigLIP vision encoder and a window-attention merger with a Qwen3.5 language model. It is specialized for reading text-dense images such as scanned pages, screenshots, receipts and tables. **Links:** [Documentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/minicpm_ocr) | [Paper](https://huggingface.co/papers/2509.18154) * Feat test (#49920) by @guarin in [#49920](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/49920) ### Flint Flint is Recursive's mixture-of-experts language model. Compared to a standard SwiGLU MoE transformer such as Qwen3-MoE, it uses hybrid attention (sliding-windo

OpenAI is pursuing $30 billion in new funding, aiming for a pre-money valuation of $1.25 trillion, while its IPO process has been put on hold.

According to TechCrunch, citing CNBC, OpenAI is in talks with Coatue and UAE investors for a new round of private financing worth approximately $30 billion, with a pre-money valuation of $1.25 trillion; if finalized, this would set a new record for the highest valuation among unlisted companies worldwide. Earlier, Bloomberg reported a target valuation of $1.4 trillion, though the terms have not yet been finalized. OpenAI filed confidential IPO documents in June 2026, following a previous funding round in March 2026 that valued the company at $852 billion.

Crossing the Tipping Point: OpenAI, Anthropic, and Financial Institutions Collaborate to Build a Secure Framework for Controllable Autonomous AI Agents

At the AI Engineer New York Conference, organizations including OpenAI, Anthropic, Two Sigma, and Bloomberg jointly explored pathways to balance autonomy and safety in AI agents within the financial sector, emphasizing that “trustworthy autonomy” can be achieved through layered controls, identity and access management, sandbox-based approvals, traceability, and external determinism mechanisms—rather than simply restricting capabilities.

OFA: Towards Building a One-For-All Model

2022 is a year of generalist models! With the bloom of multimodal pretraining, especially the unified model, we have witnessed the opportunity to building a generalist model that is capable of processing tasks of different modalities or multi-modalities! Thus, we propose OFA1, namely One-For-All, a unified multimodal pretrained model that unifies understanding and generation tasks concerning modalities into a single framework, and we pretrain OFA with the instruction-based multitask-pretraining that endows it with multiple capabilities.
