Former Hugging Face Asia-Pacific ecosystem head Tiezhen Wang commented on diverging AI release strategies: Chinese companies favor open-weight models while US firms like OpenAI and Anthropic keep models closed. He argued that distillation is a neutral technique, noting the irony that US companies train on public internet data yet try to prevent others from reusing that knowledge. Wang stated all AI-generated content should be free of copyright to avoid power abuse by compute-rich entities. He observed that China's plentiful open-weight models lead to drastically lower token costs, prompting Chinese internet companies to encourage maximum token usage, push employees to become AI-native developers, and even ban manual document writing.

The First Proof project tested four AI systems on ten original, unpublished research-level math problems created by mathematicians for this purpose. All problems were never included in any model's training data, and solutions were scored by anonymous expert reviewers from relevant fields. The AI responses showed frequent hallucinations and a critical absence of literature citations, failing to reference any sources. The evaluation confirmed that current reasoning models cannot yet match top human mathematicians. This was the first assessment to simultaneously satisfy three key standards: frontier math problems, no training data leakage, and expert human evaluation.
Between 2021 and 2025, Chinese universities cut or suspended 12,200 undergraduate programs and launched 10,200 new ones, adjusting over 30% of curricula. The changes aim to address a severe graduate employment crisis and align education with emerging high-tech industries, as China seeks global leadership in AI and other future sectors. The data was reported by Xinhua citing the Ministry of Education.

Derbyshire Police have launched a criminal investigation into an officer suspected of using AI to fabricate evidence across multiple cases. The officer, who has not been named, has been removed from frontline duties but has not yet been arrested. They face a charge of perverting the course of justice. This marks the first known case in the UK of a police officer being accused of misusing AI technology in a criminal investigation. The force stated that no further details can be disclosed while the investigation is ongoing.
