On the domestic front, Hinton once again "blew the whistle" claiming AI has gained consciousness, sparking heated debate in academia; a core member of OpenAI's chip team defected to Anthropic on the eve of mass production; and a domestic open-source video framework has climbed into the global top tier. On the international front, token economy pressure became the main theme—TechCrunch issued a "Tokenpocalypse" warning, Anthropic is set to go IPO, and Salesforce launched the Slackbot Agent to attack workplace scenarios; enterprise AI commercialization and cost control emerged as the dual main threads running through the week.
