first_img Canadian Prime Minister Carney established the National Artificial Intelligence Committee

On October 2, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced the establishment of the Prime Minister's National Artificial Intelligence Advisory Council in Ottawa, which will provide independent and pragmatic advice on Canada's artificial intelligence transformation. The council will bring together stakeholders from the public and private sectors to provide input on the evolution of the AI for All national strategy, covering areas such as accelerating adoption, nurturing national leading enterprises, building sovereign artificial intelligence infrastructure, enhancing AI safety, protecting democracy, and ensuring that all Canadians benefit.Council members include Ajay Agrawal, Yoshua Bengio, Sanja Fidler, John Graham, Gillian Hadfield, Jordan Jacobs, Eric Lamarre, Valérie Pisano, Senator Thomas Pitfield, Jody Thomas, Louis Vachon, Michelle Zatlyn, and of course, Patrick Pichette as a member. The council is supported by a small team from the Privy Council Office, while policy decisions and implementation remain the responsibility of the relevant ministers and departments.Carney stated that the prosperity and sovereignty of the artificial intelligence era belong to countries that can build, adopt, and govern artificial intelligence according to their own conditions, and the council will provide recommendations on how to manage risks, seize opportunities, and improve the lives of all Canadians.

first_img Arbitrum Security Committee urgently suspended the activation of the new contract Stylus and added BoLD protection

On October 2, at 11:30 AM Eastern Time, the Arbitrum Security Committee executed an emergency upgrade on Arbitrum One and Nova, suspending the activation of all new Stylus contracts on both chains, while adding a protective mechanism against BoLD single-step proofs in the dispute system of Arbitrum One. The Arbitrum Foundation stated that this action is part of ongoing proactive security measures aimed at protecting the security and integrity of the network.Stylus allows developers to write smart contracts using languages such as Rust and C++, while maintaining compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, with its programs compiled into WebAssembly format. This suspension primarily targets manually written WASM programs that do not use the standard Stylus compiler toolchain and have not yet been patched by the current version of ArbOS. The Security Committee increased the gas required for activation to the theoretical maximum by calling ArbOwner.setWasmActivationGas(2^64 - 1), making new activations economically unfeasible. Activated Stylus contracts are unaffected and can continue to execute and renew, and the deployment and execution of Solidity contracts are also unrestricted.The newly added BoLD protection allows anyone to pause the settlement from Arbitrum One to Ethereum when two conflicting and accepted answers appear in the same dispute step, which may delay unconfirmed withdrawals to allow the Security Committee to deploy fixes. Officials pointed out that the currently discovered Stylus-related vulnerabilities mainly affect the activity of the chain, such as denial-of-service attacks, and do not jeopardize user funds.

first_img DeepSeek open-source Ascend basic components, covering compilation, computation, and communication libraries

The artificial intelligence company DeepSeek has officially open-sourced infrastructure components for the Huawei Ascend computing platform, covering the TileLang high-level language compilation tool, computing libraries, and distributed communication libraries, corresponding to the previously open-sourced components for the NVIDIA platform. TileLang aims to provide a general-purpose, simpler programming language that can achieve the hardware performance limits, improving development efficiency and simplifying logic compared to CUDA, while its programming model can also leverage chip features.The TileLang route was first validated on the NVIDIA platform and has already supported the implementation of most operators in the training of the DeepSeek V4 series models. The open-sourced Ascend version encapsulates the underlying instructions of the Ascend C, providing a high-level programming approach without sacrificing hardware performance. Currently, every TileLang operator used in DeepSeek's training has a corresponding high-performance implementation on Ascend.The components open-sourced at the same time also include DeepGEMM, DeepEP, TileKernels, FlashMLA, and DeepSelect, which are used for general matrix operations, large-scale cross-device communication, conventional vector calculations and memory access, long-context sparse attention, and data filtering, respectively. DeepSeek claims that in multiple key tests, the related computing and communication performance has approached hardware limits; during the R&D process, the Huawei team provided support, and both parties collaborated to advance the 128-card supernode solution based on Ascend 950, with deep optimizations made for computing and communication.

first_img Satellite communication company Space Network signs a $50 million pre-purchase in the Philippines

Satellite communication infrastructure company Space Network has signed a binding pre-purchase agreement worth $50 million with Philippine infrastructure company HQ Company International Holdings to provide satellite connectivity to the Philippines through the low Earth orbit satellite network Freeport. The signing ceremony was held at SKY 31 in Seoul, attended by Space Network CEO Tae Lim Oh and HQ Company CEO Yongsoo Samuel Cho.According to the agreement, Space Network will provide access to the Freeport network, technical hardware, software, and ongoing engineering support, while HQ Company will be responsible for local sales, customer acquisition, spectrum authorization, and regional service implementation. Cho is the son-in-law of former Philippine President Fidel V. Ramos and has long been engaged in cross-border investment and infrastructure business in the Philippines. This agreement adds to the $100 million agreement signed by Space Network with Vietnam's DETI Technology in June 2026, bringing the total commercial pre-purchase amount to $150 million.Freeport is built and operated by Space Network, currently featuring 4 low Earth orbit satellites, with plans to expand to approximately 230 satellites by the time commercial services launch in 2029. Operators can purchase regional capacity and build their own services on the open network, with nodes settling through on-chain contracts. The related project Spacecoin combines blockchain protocols with low Earth orbit satellites for service pricing and payments within the network.
