RLWRLD, a robotics AI startup backed by LG Electronics, unveiled RLDX-1, a foundation model designed for five-finger robotic hands in industrial applications, according to RLWRLD. The company released the model's weights, code, and technical documents on GitHub and Hugging Face. Model

Google DeepMind on May 7 (U.S. time) released a report on AlphaEvolve’s cross-domain breakthroughs. DeepMind’s official blog summarizes AlphaEvolve’s concrete progress since its launch: it found a 4×4 complex matrix multiplication method better than the Strassen 1969 algorithm (48 pure scalar multiplications), collaborated with mathematicians such as Terence Tao to solve multiple Erdős mathematical problems, saved 0.7% of global computing resources for Google data centers, increased the speed of the key kernels trained with Gemini by 23%, and reduced overall Gemini training time by 1%. Architecture: Gemini Flash wide exploration + Gemini

The open-source AI Agent frontend framework CopilotKit announced on May 7 that it has launched Open Generative UI, an open-source implementation of Anthropic Claude Artifacts. akshay\_pachaar compiled an explanation: CopilotKit’s version enables Agents to dynamically generate HTML/SVG at runtime, stream the output token-by-token and display it in a sandboxed iframe, so users can see the interface assembly process in real time without having to wait for the full response. Before Anthropic Claude Artifacts, generative UI capabilities only existed within Anthropic’s own products; CopilotKit brings the same mode to

On May 7, OpenAI (U.S. time) released Codex’s Chrome extension, enabling Codex coding agents to run directly inside Chrome browsers on macOS and Windows. OpenAI’s official Codex documentation explains that the extension allows Codex to test web apps without taking over the user’s browsing, gather context across multiple tabs, use Chrome DevTools, and carry out other tasks in parallel. OpenAI also announced that Codex’s weekly active users exceed 4 million, up 8x since the beginning of the year. Things that can be done in the browser: test web apps, get context across pages, use DevTools Chrome extension

OpenAI on May 7 (U.S. time) announced three new Realtime voice models at its developer conference: GPT-Realtime-2, GPT-Realtime-Translate, and GPT-Realtime-Whisper.

Nathan Lambert, who conducted in-depth visits to multiple AI labs across China, pointed out that China’s core advantages lie in its culture, talent, and pragmatic mindset. Research prioritizes improving model quality, with students serving as key contributors, and organizations experiencing less internal infighting; however, there are gaps in chips, data, and creativity. External computing power is constrained by U.S. regulations, and low data quality has driven the push to build in-house training environments. Companies open-source but retain core technologies for their own fine-tuning; if the U.S. tightens the open ecosystem, it could affect China’s global leading position.

According to Bloomberg, Swedish AI startup Pit raised $16 million in a funding round led by Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from Lakestar and executives from major AI and tech firms. Sweden's Stena and Lundin families also joined the round. Pit has already secured pilot projects with Voi,

Kevin Hassett, director of the White House National Economic Council (NEC), said in an interview with Fox Business on May 7 that the Trump administration is considering requiring AI models to undergo government security review before being publicly released through an executive order, and he likened it to the FDA’s pre-market approval process for drugs. But according to Politico’s May 8 report, a senior White House official later said the remark was “misleadingly excerpted from context.”
