Today’s China View is a study in systems learning to run themselves — and in the forces pushing back. In Silicon Valley and Beijing alike, the conversation has moved past what a single AI can do to what happens when agents manage agents, improve themselves, and keep working while humans sleep. Jeff Dean’s new venture wants to automate the whole experiment loop; a Chinese team in the Valley already shipped a “super-agent” that does exactly that. Down on the ground, JD Logistics has unleashed a robot wolf pack under one “super brain,” and BYD is now chasing the ultra-luxury crown after taking the speed crown. Meanwhile the Binance hack keeps rippling outward — from a U.S. call for a coordinated crackdown on North Korean cyber theft to a colder political climate for crypto in Washington.

Topics in this China View

1. Jeff Dean李飞飞最新对谈：全是RSI非共识
   (Jeff Dean and Fei-Fei Li’s Latest Conversation: All RSI, All Non-Consensus)
   (QbitAI — in Chinese)
   In a Stanford HAI conversation, Google veteran Jeff Dean laid out his new company Discovery Loop, which aims to automate the full scientific experiment cycle — proposing, running, and learning from experiments — with about 20 self-improvement loops already running and a goal of making domain experts 20 to 50 times more productive. But Dean pushed back on the hype around recursive self-improvement: training, compute, and evaluation are real physical processes, so the loop cannot accelerate infinitely fast. He also admitted he had underestimated how central coding ability would become to models’ general problem-solving power.
   Why it matters: The most credible voice in AI infrastructure is now building the RSI machine while warning it has a speed limit — a useful dose of realism for an industry pricing in runaway acceleration.
2. 抢跑DeepSeek！硅谷华人把下一代Agent Harness造出来了！？
   (Beating DeepSeek to It! A Silicon Valley Chinese Team Built the Next-Generation Agent Harness!?)
   (QbitAI — in Chinese)
   Days after DeepSeek’s Harness team sketched its “super-agent” — one continuous session with a router dispatching many worker agents in parallel, 24/7 — a Silicon Valley Chinese team, AFK AI, showed it had already built the same architecture into its product Comma, starting back in April. A single long-lived conversation fronts a router that farms work out to independent workers, keeps memory consistent across apps like WeChat, Signal, and Linear, and even lets agents write their own on-call programs and learn from each task. The code is open source.
   Why it matters: The race to build the personal “Jarvis” is converging on the same design from both sides of the Pacific — and the bottleneck is no longer the agent, but human attention itself.
3. “超脑”统一指挥，“狼族”协同作战：京东物流打造供应链 AI 机器人军团
   (“Super Brain” in Command, “Wolf Pack” in Formation: JD Logistics Builds a Supply-Chain AI Robot Army)
   (InfoQ — in Chinese)
   JD Logistics is scaling what it calls the largest embodied-robot deployment in supply chains: a “super brain” large model (Super Brain 3.0) commanding a “wolf pack” of nine robot product lines — warehouse pickers, cold-chain handlers, L4 delivery vehicles, drones, and an unmanned pharmacy — across warehousing, sorting, transport, and delivery. The brain computes globally optimal plans for billions of parcels in seconds, then synchronizes every machine to the same rhythm; the company plans to buy 3 million robots, 1 million unmanned vehicles, and 100,000 drones within five years.
   Why it matters: This is physical AI at industrial scale, tested on billions of real parcels — a working proof that the agent era is arriving in warehouses and on roads, not just in chat windows.
4. 「全球最速」之后，比亚迪仰望推出了一台「全球最豪」的新车
   (After the World’s Fastest, BYD’s Yangwang Unveils the World’s Most Luxurious New Car)
   (GeekPark — in Chinese)
   A day after the Yangwang U9 Extreme was certified by the FIA as the world’s fastest production car at over 503 km/h, BYD unveiled the Yangwang Altior — a 5.5-meter ultra-luxury sedan with coach doors and a two-tone body, revealed on the lawn of Abu Dhabi’s Emirates Palace hotel and pitched as “a moving palace” aimed squarely at Rolls-Royce’s super-rich clientele. It is the first Yangwang model to carry a standalone name rather than an alphanumeric badge, with “Altior” from the Latin for “higher.”
   Why it matters: Chinese automakers are no longer competing only on price and batteries — BYD is now challenging the top of the luxury market on its own terms, speed crown first, palace second.
5. 币安被盗后，美国务院呼吁各国协同应对朝鲜网络威胁
   (After the Binance Hack, the U.S. State Department Urges Countries to Coordinate Against North Korean Cyber Threats)
   (Panews — in Chinese)
   The U.S. State Department has called on governments worldwide to coordinate against North Korean cyber activity following the theft from Binance, urging all UN member states to enforce existing sanctions on Pyongyang and cut off funding for its weapons programs. The FBI has already attributed the heist to North Korean hackers, and the State Department described coordinated unilateral sanctions as a powerful tool for blocking proliferation financing — while declining to say whether it has shared findings with South Korea.
   Why it matters: The Binance theft is now a diplomatic issue, not just an exchange security failure — state-backed crypto crime is being treated as a sanctions-enforcement problem at the highest level.
6. 彭博社：随着美国民主党掌控国会，加密行业在华盛顿的政治优势消退
   (Bloomberg: As Democrats Take Congress, Crypto’s Political Edge in Washington Fades)
   (Panews — in Chinese)
   For two years crypto enjoyed a rare political tailwind in Washington: a president who made digital assets a national priority, sympathetic regulators, and a Republican Congress. Bloomberg reports that advantage is now fading after Democrats’ midterm sweep handed them control of Congress, with the party planning tougher ethics rules, stronger consumer protections, and a bigger SEC role in digital-asset oversight — while critics like Maxine Waters and Elizabeth Warren gain influence over the key financial committees.
   Why it matters: Crypto’s Washington honeymoon is over, and the industry’s next chapter will be written under scrutiny it spent two years avoiding — including of the president’s own crypto businesses.
