On October 9, the US ITC initiated Section 337 investigation No. 337-TA-1526, with Vicor Corporation as the complainant. The subject of the investigation is vertical power delivery (VPD) systems and related computing products; 20 entities including Luxshare Precision, Foxconn Industrial Internet, Delta Electronics, and Infineon were named in the complaint. Luxshare responded that the implicated VPD products are currently in the customer validation stage and have not yet entered mass production, and that it has begun legal defense proceedings. By placing power modules directly beneath chips, VPD shortens the power delivery path to 1–3 millimeters, reduces resistance to 10 microohms, and cuts thermal loss by approximately 70%. Its current core application is in AI data centers, and NVIDIA's Rubin architecture has confirmed full adoption of this solution.
In March 2026, the National Data Administration officially named "Token" as "Ci Yuan" (word element), defining it as a value yardstick that is measurable, priceable, and tradable. By September, more than ten cities including Wenzhou, Yangzhou, Jiaxing, Guangzhou, Suzhou, Huzhou, and Zhoushan had established Ci Yuan operation centers or trading platforms under the leadership of local state-owned capital. The article categorizes these into three practical models: self-operated urban investment companies, exchange-organized models, and operator-led international expansion models, while pointing out three major real-world risks: homogenized involution, emphasis on construction over operation, and fiscal dependency.

Cross-border sellers often find that despite successful trademark registration, their infringement complaints on platforms such as Amazon, eBay, TEMU, SHEIN, and Walmart are rejected, primarily because they fail to meet the substantive conditions for platform enforcement. The article points out that four points must be checked: 1) whether the other party's goods fall within the registered categories of the trademark; 2) whether the other party has prior use; 3) whether the trademark type is word or graphic, as the judgment standards differ; 4) whether the other party's manner of trademark use falls within the scope of online page or physical product infringement. It also outlines four high-frequency pitfalls in self-filed complaints, including relying solely on certificates, non-standard evidence, misjudging trademark types, and ignoring risks of prior use.
The Indonesian Halal Product Assurance Agency (BPJPH) announced that, pursuant to the Halal Product Assurance Law and Government Regulation No. 42 of 2024, the mandatory halal certification system will fully take effect from October 18, 2026, covering imported food and beverages, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, chemical products, household clothing, and Class A medical devices; a new pre-shipment halal compliance verification (LPPH) mechanism will be added for imported goods, with stricter customs reviews; non-halal products must be clearly labeled, with no exemption from category confirmation obligations; the policy provides a flexible buffer period of 1–2 years but does not postpone implementation.
At the unBoxed 2026 conference on September 29, 2026, Amazon launched Review Requests Ads, which use advertising to reach recent buyers and invite them to submit star ratings or reviews with photos/videos; these reviews are then displayed on the product detail page. The US marketplace will open Beta testing in late October 2026, limited to ASINs with fewer than 1,000 reviews and compliant accounts. Amazon stated that in early closed tests, review acquisition volume reached 3 times previous levels.
When cross-border sellers launch Trade-in services in the US, they cannot simply treat them as ordinary discounts. Regulations vary by state on whether Trade-in Credits reduce the taxable base for sales tax, and there are multiple tax implications involving corporate income tax, inventory management, system configuration, and the subsequent flow of used products. The article lists 8 compliance self-check recommendations and emphasizes that tax logic must be embedded during the business model design phase.

TrendForce expects HBM supply to remain tight through 2027, with blended average selling prices (ASP) rising 121% year-over-year, primarily due to an increased share of HBM4 shipments and the gradual volume ramp-up of HBM4e in the second half of the year; however, current HBM yields are only 50%-60%, and increasing stack layers further amplify yield risks. The mass production schedule for HBM4e and NVIDIA's Rubin Ultra configuration plans have not yet been finalized. SK Hynix and Micron have initiated bulk supply of HBM4, while Micron, in collaboration with TSMC, plans large-scale mass production of HBM4e by 2027. Technologies such as hybrid bonding and EMIB silicon bridges remain in the engineering validation stage and are unlikely to quickly fill the yield gap by 2027. Domestic manufacturers' HBM3 is still in the capacity ramp-up phase, with overall process capabilities lagging behind the three overseas giants by approximately two generations.
The article states that AI-driven software reverse engineering and clean-room rewrites are impacting closed-source software barriers. It cites examples such as Compositor, PhotoCraft, and WordCraft—projects where individual developers used AI to replicate Adobe and Microsoft suites—and the popular GitHub tool REA (Reverse Engineer Anything), which integrates AI coding agents like Claude Code into disassembly workflows, supporting analysis of native programs, Electron apps, .NET, APKs, etc. Meanwhile, it references Quarkslab's empirical tests showing that strong obfuscation still effectively raises attack costs, and emphasizes that while decompilation for learning purposes is legally permissible, replicating for profit or bypassing agreements carries risks.
Non-professional mathematician nor utilized GPT-6 Astra to complete rigorous mathematical proofs for five cases (N=15, 16, 17, 18, and 20) in the disk packing problem, filling the remaining unverified cases for N≤20 that had been open since 1969; previously, only N≤14 and N=19 had received rigorous proofs. In this process, nor was responsible for defining the problem, guiding the methodology, debugging flaws, correcting text, performing manual verification, and cross-checking (including with Opus 5.5). The core of the proof involved converging infinite arrangements to finite configurations and using geometric rigidity to exclude the possibility of minor deformations.
