Chinese AI sensation Moonshot's gamble on big models pays off People visit the Moonshot AI stand, featuring the Kimi K3 model, during the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai on Saturday. Crowds rushed to an obscure corner of China's premier tech summit, moving past monumental booths from Alibaba Group Holding and Tencent Holdings to catch a glimpse of the hottest name in domestic artificial intelligence. Developers and users at the World AI Conference jostled for a closer look at Moonshot and its Kimi K3 -- the giant 2.8 trillion-parameter model whose release on Friday showed China was closing the gap on OpenAI and Anthropic PBC far quicker than anticipated. The startup became an instant global sensation, drawing comparisons to DeepSeek's 2025 breakout and plaudits from the likes of Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

US President Donald Trump has signed an order imposing a 50% tariff on a wide range of goods imported from Canada, in retaliation for what he called unequal treatment of US cars, dairy and alcohol. The duties take effect on 19 August and mark a major escalation in trade tensions between the North American neighbours. The White House said the tariffs were necessary to protect American businesses. Goods targeted range from everyday consumer items like wine and hockey sticks to industrial goods such as commercial cement. However, several key exports will be spared, such as energy, potash, critical minerals and fish.

The FDA Says It Didn't Apologize to Supplier Linked to Diarrhea Outbreak, Actually The agency stressed that the July 17 voluntary recall from Taylor Farms still stands. The supplier has been linked to the ongoing cyclospora outbreak. In the middle of a diarrhea shitstorm, the Food and Drug Administration and lettuce supplier Taylor Farms appear to be facing off in a passive aggressive battle of technicalities. On July 17, the California-based company issued a voluntary recall on iceberg lettuce sourced from Central Mexico. The recall came after people across at least five states were sickened with cyclosporiasis, a parasitic infection that causes explosive diarrhea.

Trump vows Iran will'pay' for killing US soldiers US President Donald Trump says Iran will "pay" for killing United States soldiers after multiple service members were killed in action over the weekend. "Every time Iran kills an American Soldier they will pay for that killing many times over!" Trump said on Monday on social media. "This directive has been passed on to Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Daniel Caine, and every Leader in the Military. The US military also identified two soldiers who were killed in Jordan on Friday while defending against Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks. Seventeen US troops have been killed since the start of the five-month US-Israel war on Iran. The renewed exchanges of fire, now in their second week, have seen the US target Iranian bridges and electrical facilities as the countries appear to inch closer to a return to full-scale war.

Project Indigo will have new features like removing distractions and offering immediate photo feedback. Adobe's Project Indigo camera app may be drifting away from its original appeal to smartphone photographers looking for a natural SLR-like look. Instead, Adobe's Nextcam Team is adding a bunch of generative AI tools to its Project Indigo experimental camera app that it introduced last year. The team behind Project Indigo said the goal is to explore how generative AI can assist mobile photographers at the point of capture. Called AI Playground, the initial version will offer four sections, Object Editing, Styles, Photo Guidance and Custom Edit, each of which allows users to lean on AI assistance through several buttons or toggles.
