China's food delivery giant Meituan has introduced what it asserts is the country's largest artificial intelligence model trained entirely on domestically developed hardware. This development signals a strategic shift beyond merely using local chips for AI model inference.

Businesses are now considering more affordable artificial intelligence models. This shift follows rising expenditure on powerful AI tools, prompting a re-evaluation among tech executives. High costs, driven by unpredictable usage based pricing, have led some organisations to cap internal AI use.

Two drone delivery firms in Dallas, Texas, have deployed an unseen air traffic control system. Flytrex and Wing, industry rivals, developed this autonomous coordination to manage thousands of monthly flights, aiming to prevent collisions in increasingly congested airspace.
