Silicon Valley is quietly running on Chinese open source models and almost nobody is talking about it

矽谷正在悄悄使用中國開源AI模型，卻幾乎沒人在討論

Cursor's Composer is built on Kimi K2.5, which is Moonshot's Chinese model. Shopify switched to Alibaba's Qwen and saved $5 million a year. Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky has said publicly: "We rely a lot on Qwen. It's very good, fast, and cheap." Cognition's SWE-1.6 model is likely post-trained on Zhipu's GLM. And last week Zhipu dropped GLM-5.1, an open source model that benchmarks close to Claude Opus on coding tasks. Meanwhile the tech press is full of stories about OpenAI vs. Anthropic vs. Google.

OpenAI's ad partner is now selling ChatGPT ad placements based on what you actually ask

OpenAI just partnered with an ad company that's figured out how to show you ads inside ChatGPT based on what you're typing. So if you're asking ChatGPT how to fix your kitchen sink, you might see ads for plumbing services. Sounds convenient on the surface, but here's the thing—it means someone's literally reading your prompts to decide what ads to throw at you. This is basically the same playbook Google and Facebook use, except now it's happening in the AI chatbot you thought was just helping you with homework. The ad company claims they're not storing your actual prompts, just analyzing them to figure out what category you're in. Whether you buy that or not is up to you, but it's definitely a sign that ChatGPT is becoming less of a helpful tool and more of an ad delivery system. If you're paying for ChatGPT Plus, you might want to check if this affects you too.

Meta is now tracking everything employees do on their computers to train AI agents

Meta has started installing a surveillance tool called Model Capability Initiative (MCI) on US employees' computers that records mouse movements, clicks, keystrokes, and screenshots across work apps and websites. The company says this data won't be used for performance reviews, but rather to train its AI models to interact with computers like humans do—essentially learning how to automate the work tasks Meta employees perform daily. It's a bold move that raises obvious privacy concerns, even if Meta insists the data collection is purely for AI training purposes.
