LATEST AI NEWS
ALIBABA

Alibaba has entered the physical AI race with its new model RynnBrain - aimed at giving robots real-world object understanding and movement control, furthering China’s robotics ambitions.
The Details:
RynnBrain helps robots understand and interact with their physical environment using vision and movement coordination.
A demo from DAMO Academy showed a robot sorting fruit - showcasing real-time spatial awareness.
This expands Alibaba’s Qwen model family into robotics, aligning with China’s push for physical AI leadership.
Other players in this space include Nvidia (Cosmos models), Google DeepMind (Gemini Robotics-ER 1.5), and Tesla’s Optimus.
Alibaba is open-sourcing RynnBrain, hoping to accelerate global adoption and developer use.
Why it matters:
The robotics arms race is heating up. With RynnBrain, Alibaba is signaling serious intent to lead in “physical AI” - where foundation models meet machines. Open-sourcing also gives it a strategic edge over U.S. rivals in developer mindshare.
AMAZON

Amazon is reportedly building a marketplace where publishers can license their content directly to AI companies - setting the stage for a more structured, legal way to source training data.
The Details:
Amazon is in talks with publishers to launch a content marketplace, per The Information.
This move follows Microsoft’s own “Publisher Content Marketplace,” aimed at licensing premium data for AI.
Amazon slides shared pre-AWS event hinted at this initiative, but the company hasn’t formally confirmed it.
The goal: help AI firms avoid copyright issues while offering publishers a sustainable revenue stream.
Existing licensing deals by OpenAI (AP, News Corp, Vox, etc.) haven’t fully quelled legal concerns over scraped data.
Why it matters:
AI firms are under growing pressure to source training data ethically and legally. A dedicated content marketplace could standardize licensing and provide real income for media companies - while reducing the legal minefield around AI training.
