From Nvidia’s boardroom to Beijing’s gigawatt data centers, today is a stress test for the AI boom’s foundations. Capital is cooling on world models just as DeepSeek stakes its claim as the agent era’s operating system, China Mobile pours a hundred billion yuan into compute, and a crypto wallet rescue shows how fast a single login flaw can put millions at risk — while one essay argues the personal-AI race will be won on companionship, not benchmarks.

Topics in this China View

1. 英伟达董事会启动独立调查，核查黄仁勋是否成为外国情报行动目标
   (Nvidia's Board Launches an Independent Probe Into Whether Jensen Huang Was Targeted by a Foreign Intelligence Operation)
   (Panews — in Chinese)
   Nvidia's board has opened an independent investigation into reports that founder and CEO Jensen Huang was the target of a foreign intelligence operation, overseen by a committee of independent directors with outside counsel assisting. The board says it currently has no reason to believe US national security or Nvidia's secrets were compromised, and Huang has pledged his full cooperation. The probe lands amid intense scrutiny of Nvidia's central role in the AI chip race and US-China tech tensions.
   Why it matters: Even the suggestion that the world's most important chip CEO was targeted becomes a national-security story — and a test of how much geopolitical risk is now priced into the AI supply chain.
2. DeepSeek团队成员：DeepSeek Harness 定位为"Agent 时代的操作系统"
   (DeepSeek Team Member: DeepSeek Harness Is Positioned as the "Operating System of the Agent Era")
   (Panews — in Chinese)
   DeepSeek Harness team member Tianyi Cui says the product is positioned as the operating system of the agent era, with official built-in capabilities sitting alongside third-party plugins under an “everything is a plugin” design — even built-in features can be replaced by plugins. The team is also building an official plugin marketplace and a support program for plugin authors, offering token funding, technical exchange, and promotion.
   Why it matters: DeepSeek is trying to turn its agent harness into a platform, not just a product — and the OS framing is a direct bid to own the layer where agents get built.
3. 资本正在撤离“世界模型”
   (Capital Is Pulling Out of "World Models")
   (QbitAI — in Chinese)
   QbitAI reports that capital is retreating from “world models”: leading funds now back only a handful of projects, and the label's valuation premium is shrinking fast after a first-half funding frenzy in which one major USD fund spent its entire 2026 AI budget in six months. The field still lacks a unified definition — realistic video generation, 3D simulation, and robot-action prediction are all lumped under one banner — and only teams with elite credentials, visible research, or big-company backing are still raising easily. AMD's planned $8.2 billion acquisition of Fei-Fei Li's World Labs is cited as a possible turning point.
   Why it matters: The shakeout is a reality check for embodied AI's hottest concept — from now on, world-model startups have to prove value, not just promise it.
4. 为什么「陪伴」，注定是 Personal AI 的核心
   (Why "Companionship" Is Destined to Be the Core of Personal AI)
   (GeekPark — in Chinese)
   The author tried Muse and found its raw capability unremarkable — yet the companionship it offered changed their habits, drawing them back to chat about even the most trivial things. The piece argues that companionship, not task completion, is what will make personal AI stick, and that Muse's latest steps point in that direction. It also asks whether startups have any opening at all in a space that looks increasingly like a big-company game.
   Why it matters: If companionship is the moat, the personal-AI race will be won on relationship, not benchmarks — a very different contest than the model leaderboard suggests.
5. 中国移动：2027年算力投资将超1000亿元，吉瓦级数据中心增至7个
   (China Mobile: Compute Investment to Top 100 Billion Yuan in 2027, Gigawatt-Scale Data Centers Rising to Seven)
   (Panews — in Chinese)
   Chairman Chen Zhongyue said compute is now China Mobile's biggest investment increase for 2026, with three gigawatt-scale computing parks under construction this year delivering 1.5 GW of capacity, and two more next year bringing the total to seven. The carrier has built several ten-thousand-GPU clusters, expects compute capacity to double for two straight years, and plans total procurement above 500 billion yuan in 2027, with compute investment topping 100 billion yuan.
   Why it matters: China's state carriers are pouring gigawatt-scale money into AI infrastructure — the compute buildout is now a national project, not just a private-sector one.
6. Web3Auth已将Keplr受影响钱包约560万美元资产转至恢复地址
   (Web3Auth Has Moved About $5.6 Million in Assets From Affected Keplr Wallets to Recovery Addresses)
   (Panews — in Chinese)
   A vulnerability in Consensys-owned Web3Auth leaked private keys for some Keplr wallets created via Google or Apple login. Web3Auth raced attackers to move roughly $5.6 million in assets — including about 2.49 million ATOM on Cosmos Hub — to 12 recovery addresses it published. The incident is a reminder that wallet security increasingly depends on third-party login infrastructure, not just the blockchain itself.
   Why it matters: The rescue worked this time, but the episode shows how a single login-service flaw can put millions of dollars of user funds at risk in minutes.
