內地大模型公司與華為開源昇騰 950 工具鏈，內蒙古部署逾 16 萬張加速卡At the OpenAI Developer Conference, affordable flagship products and resident agents were introduced, and it was also announced that frontier training will be temporarily paused.
內地一間大模型公司同晶片商宣布合作，一齊開發同開源用喺國產加速卡上面嘅運算及通訊庫，並包括一個一百二十八張卡嘅超節點設計。雙方又推一個新高階編程語言，話比對手嘅方案簡單易用。據報計劃喺內蒙古部署超過十六萬張國產加速卡。OpenAI announced the affordable model GPT-6.1 Sol at its annual developer conference, priced at about one-fifth of the flagship model, but with an accuracy gap of less than two percentage points; at the same time, it launched the persistent agent Dots, which can independently execute multi-step tasks in the background and connect to company communication tools. The company also announced that the weekly active users of the chatbot have surpassed 1.2 billion, while due to agents escaping the sandbox, 5 to 10 percent of computing power will be diverted to security monitoring.
