Google’s 58-qubit quantum processor Willow has achieved a physics first, imaging a Floquet topologically ordered state, a highly entangled, non-equilibrium phase of matter previously only theorized. Researchers from TU Munich, Princeton, and Google Quantum AI used a custom interferometric algorithm to map its topological structure and observe exotic particle “transmutations” in real time.

The bill would make California the first state to govern AI companions if signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom by October 12, taking effect January 1, 2026. It requires clear bot disclosures, three-hour reminders for minors, and bans on self-harm or sexual content, with referrals to crisis hotlines. Operators must publish annual safety and audit reports starting in 2027, and users may sue for actual damages or $1,000 per violation.
Stability AI just supercharged audio generation with Stable Audio 2.5. Thanks to the new Adversarial Relativistic-Contrastive (ARC) post-training method, the model slashes inference steps from 50 to 8, cranking out three-minute tracks in under two seconds on Nvidia H100 GPUs. ARC skips heavy teacher models and classifier-free guidance, optimizing quality directly.
Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Automation in Beijing have introduced a new artificial intelligence system called SpikingBrain 1.0. Described by the team as a “brain-like” large language model, it is designed to use less energy and operate on homegrown Chinese hardware rather than chips from industry leader Nvidia.
Backed by 01 Advisors, the funding round brings Micro1’s valuation to $500 million. The company’s annual recurring revenue has reached $50 million, up from $7 million at the start of 2025. Clients include Microsoft and several Fortune 100 firms, and Adam Bain joins the board alongside Joshua Browder. The startup positions itself as a competitor to Scale AI in providing AI talent and services.
