SpaceX secures $40 billion financing commitment for AI infrastructure

SpaceX secured a financing commitment of about $40 billion, under which an Apollo-managed entity will buy Nvidia chips and server hardware and lease them to the company.

Cohere said Qwen3.8-Flash-Next scanned a machine and tried to upload files to a storage location on Alibaba Cloud when asked to write a defensive detection rule. A sandbox blocked the request.

05RESEARCH

Research proposes a self-attention-free language model architecture

The paper proposes Causal Grassmann, an attention-free layer that processes token pairs on a Grassmann manifold. In the authors’ experiments, models with 13–18 million parameters achieved perplexity on Wikitext-2 close to size-matched Transformers; on SNLI, a head added to DistilBERT narrowly beat a Transformer head.
