Five weeks. That's how far China's best AI model now sits behind the US frontier. Kimi K3.1 Pro: #4 globally, near-frontier performance, mid-market price, open weights coming. Intelligence is getting cheaper and closer. 🇨🇳🇺🇸 #AI

AI can warn a maintenance team that a machine may fail, but McKinsey argues that the opportunity lies in what the organization does next.

A prediction is useful when it changes how maintenance is planned and carried out.

That requires more than a model.

Microblog by @antgrasso

Suppose a warning arrives days before a possible breakdown. The repair still waits because the schedule has not changed or the required part is unavailable. The model has supplied information that the process cannot yet use.

Who can act on that warning while there is still time?

McKinsey estimates potential cost reductions and additional uptime across asset-heavy industries. Its analysis emphasizes redesigning the maintenance process so that insights can influence decisions and lead to timely interventions.

I would put maintenance teams at the center of that redesign, giving them access to information while they are planning work and enough authority to adjust priorities.

Masayoshi Son of SoftBank Group Corp. chose locations in Malaysia for $50 billion in technology investments, the country’s prime minister said, an outlay that would accelerate the billionaire’s global bet on AI infrastructure. https://t.co/30lvPpdEZk

This week regulators caught up with AI agents: the EU AI Office acted, the FTC subpoenaed OpenAI and Anthropic, and Schwab and JPMorgan blocked outside agents. Plus Malaysia's six home-designed chips.

Malaysia has opened a big door to learning fee though Coursera. Now the question is: what happens after you walk through it? https://t.co/GjS4Sqfj2N

Malaysia is stepping up efforts to develop its own chips to push into higher-value areas of the semiconductor industry and capitalize on the AI boom https://t.co/aFo172Tcdb

My view is that the gains will come from redesigning workflows, not merely attaching a chatbot to existing software. Finance leaders should select a few measurable problems, test alongside alternative models and quantify end-to-end value before scaling. https://t.co/aX9pcSTv3r

Gen Office has been created through AI, and made it open source, i see the Software Engineering economy is changing. More and more of such open source will come people will start using for two reason one. Low cost, and can be attached with any AI. https://t.co/y2au7b0prn

@FintechNewsMy I am more concern that in Malaysia, if any young person just started his career and want to have secured card. Most of banks has limit to deposit 10k and apply card. Thereafter wait for weeks to get approval.
The above cards is for people like us to afford it.

recent software experiment may offer an early glimpse of a much larger industry shift. In October 2026, developer Brandon Thomas drew attention for releasing open-source, Rust-based applications designed to reproduce many workflows of Adobe tools https://t.co/gPgeq1khaT
