The Verge reports that Meta launched the free AI agent Muse, while OpenAI introduced the paid agent Dots. Both are based on the OpenClaw architectural approach, using 'embodied mascots' as their interaction form; Muse targets general users, deeply integrates with Meta platforms such as Instagram, provides free cloud Linux computing resources, and relies on transaction fees for monetization; Dots is positioned for knowledge workers and enterprise clients, requires a $100–200/month subscription, emphasizes privacy controls and vertical specialist functions; the article notes that both still have obvious shortcomings in usability, trustworthiness, and consistency in actual task completion.

The U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the original ruling, finding that Westlaw headnotes and the Key Number System possess originality and are protected by copyright; the court determined that ROSS's use of these materials to train its non-generative legal research tool did not constitute fair use. The court emphasized that the tool has a direct commercial substitution relationship with Westlaw and confirmed that the human-edited layer of 'issue-topic-case mapping' constitutes protectable expression. The judgment clearly distinguishes between non-generative and generative AI training scenarios, but the established standards for originality, the possibility of intermediate copy infringement, and the logic for recognizing emerging training data licensing markets will be widely cited in future AI copyright cases.

Future plans include integration with the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) 24/7 digital trading platform and the OKXICE tokenized securities venue established by the joint venture between OKX and ICE. All expansions must meet regulatory requirements.
Researchers at Zenity Labs discovered a systemic vulnerability chain named 'AgentCorruption' in the AWS Bedrock AgentCore platform. A single ordinary chat request to a publicly exposed AgentCore agent can obtain its temporary AWS credentials, enabling the reading, modification, and deletion of all AgentCore agents within the same account and region, including private conversations, source code, long-term memory, and stored credentials. The issue stems from AgentCore's lack of sandbox isolation, IMDSv1 being enabled by default, and the default execution role granting full permissions across agents. AWS subsequently set IMDSv2 as the default for new deployments and tightened default role permissions.
Europe's space industry has long been passive in its supply chains due to constraints such as fragmented procurement, US export controls, and lengthy certification cycles; its countermeasures include leveraging the IRIS² constellation to achieve bulk procurement of 800 satellites to incentivize supplier cooperation, and promoting the replacement of legacy SPARC architectures with RISC-V to gain design transparency and supplier choice; meanwhile, it is using AI to shorten certification cycles, exploring exemptions for green materials, and building a 'substitutability sovereignty' system through ESA-led standard-setting and demand aggregation.

The ETH Zurich Soft Robotics Lab team modified a commercial robot hand from Wuji Technology into a self-contained walking robot. By using a Raspberry Pi Zero, battery, and IMU to form an 80 g backpack, they trained it via reinforcement learning in simulation to walk on fingertips, right itself, press buttons, and push objects. In real-world tests, it crawled across 14 surfaces at an average speed of 9 cm/s, successfully righting itself 21 out of 25 times, and autonomously pushed a 41 g cube to a target 40 cm away 15 times based on a top-view camera. The study proposes the concept of "autonomous modular embodiment," advocating that robotic components can dynamically switch roles.
