Meta removed numerous advertisements from its Facebook and Instagram platforms after the Indian government issued an alert. The adverts reportedly used sexually explicit content to entice users into downloading malicious software. This software was designed to steal banking credentials and subsequently drain bank accounts, according to the alert.

StartLux, a Shanghai-based artificial intelligence organisation, achieved second place in the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology MCP test. Its 27 billion parameter local model surpassed DeepSeek-V4-Flash, a considerably larger model, performing at a level often associated with trillion parameter systems. This outcome suggests a notable capability for smaller AI architectures.

Zhipu AI's GLM-5.3-Flash, previously an anonymous entity known as Ox Alpha, has achieved the highest global AI model call volume. This marks 18 consecutive weeks of Chinese models leading worldwide inference volume. The recent surge saw global AI model traffic reach 113 trillion tokens, a significant weekly increase.
