  Argon Agents took the Ender Dragon in a sandboxed, randomized survival world, and gadget reported
• 0:15
  from the paper. Nobody assigned roles, strategies, or game-specific tools. Each one drove a player
• 0:22
  through the open-source MindFlare library and coordinated an in-game chat and shared memory.
• 0:27
  They split the work, warned each other, passed coordinates, and pulled items off dead teammates.
• 0:34
  Jane Sick made tools, Gildenia gathered food, Arasian lit a portal, and Bula came landed the final blow.
• 0:41
  The clock read 27.23 hours, most of it on the dragon, and they exchanged 229 messages.
• 0:49
  A fifth agent, the observer, watched for cheating and published reports.
• 0:53
  The team called it the first end-to-end autonomous finish on standard mind-flare alone.
• 0:58
  No prescouted seeds, a plan held across thousands of steps for more than a day.
• 1:04
  Tim Cook, in Beijing, said Apple has approval for a first batch of Apple intelligence tools for Chinese users.
• 1:11
  36 Krab reported.
• 1:13
  The batch's real-time translation, the eliminate tool in photos and writing tools in a beta later this month.
• 1:19
  It leaves out Siri AI and the other next-generation features from this year's Worldwide Developers Conference.
• 1:26
  A July 15 notice covered a July 8 filing by Apple Technology Development in Shanghai for a model named Apple Smart.
• 1:35
  Alibaba told the media, Tong Yi Qianwen will sit inside Apple Smart on iOS, iPadOS, MacOS, and VisionOS.
• 1:43
  A Mac support page for that pairing showed up on Apple site and later came down.
• 1:47
  on. September 2nd trial licenses covered the National iPhone Duo Foldable and the
• 1:53
  iPhone 18 Pro series, and a September 29th renewal added filings for Apple Smart, Tong
• 1:59
  Yi Wan Shang and Tong Yi Qian Wen. Apple's EU Energy Label puts iPhone Duo's battery
• 2:06
  at 4,883 milliamp hours. Mac rumors reported, that matches a 2-cell leak, 2,962, and 1,921.
• 2:17
  phone. The phone is eSim only, so the figure should hold worldwide, with no SIM tray eating
• 2:22
  space. I fix it measured the eSim iPhone 18 Pro at 4,288, and the eSim Pro Max at 5,567.
• 2:33
  Nvidia has told its next custom high-band with memory suppliers to use TSMC's 3nm process,
• 2:40
  the sole economic daily reported, via the information.
• 2:43
  The ask went to Samsung Electronics, SK Heinex, and Micron, and the point was to standardize
• 2:49
  on that process.
• 2:51
  Meta said an automated security system mistakenly suspended the No Kings Coalition's Instagram
• 2:57
  account during nationwide demonstrations.
• 2:59
  Bloomberg reported, that account names a clawed tool as the trigger.
• 3:04
  The Minecraft paper's own tally cuts the other way.
• 3:07
  The agents died 605 times.
• 3:10
  They consumed 1.35 billion input tokens.
• 3:13
  The bill was $810 at Gemini's list price, or $1,620 at the standard price.
• 3:21
  A finished day-long plan that dies hundreds of times is a completed run, and the paper
• 3:26
  does not show the same stack clearing a second world.
• 3:30
  Microsoft's UK business software reaches more than a million businesses and public bodies,
• 3:35
  and about 20 million users a month.
• 3:37
  And the competition and market's authority has put that stack under a provisional strategic
• 3:42
  market designation. Result sense reported. The authority said so on October 16th,
• 3:48
  and a final decision is due by February 2027. It found Microsoft's strong and five activities,
• 3:55
  relational databases, security tools, PC operating systems, server operating systems,
• 4:00
  and productivity suites. The name products are Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Teams,
• 4:06
  Plus a growing co-pilot and the security and server lines.
• 4:10
  The findings say switching is hard, which limits choice and weekends rival developers.
• 4:16
  And commercial terms, plus integration, add more barriers.
• 4:19
  On a separate cloud track, Microsoft and Amazon Web Services have started connecting
• 4:23
  their data centers to competitors' networks.
• 4:26
  Google first.
• 4:27
  Both have scrapped the charge for moving data out when a customer switches.
• 4:31
  And another cloud update is due in spring 2027.
• 4:34
  Talks with both companies on further steps are still open.
• 4:38
  A designation would not mean a finding of wrongdoing.
• 4:42
  It would let the regulator consider conduct requirements or pro-competition interventions.
• 4:47
  The roadmap asks three things, whether buyers can pick their own AI tools and whether
• 4:52
  co-pilot alternatives get a fair chance, whether security bundling restricts choice, and whether
• 4:58
  customers can choose which cloud runs their licenses.
• 5:01
  Chief Executive Sarah Cardell said organizations should be able to choose what works, switch
• 5:07
  when they want, and combine suppliers.
• 5:09
  For Microsoft, February 2027 is the gate on co-pilot's place inside those suites.
• 5:15
  For Amazon, interconnects are underway, and the egress fee on a switch is already gone.
• 5:21
  For Google, the recorded change is that it was first onto those competitor links, ahead
• 5:26
  of the spring update.
• 5:27
  The authority is taking views on the designation and the roadmap before that February decision.
• 5:32
  On the calendar, iPhone Duo is set for Friday, October 23rd.
• 5:38
  HomePod Mini 2 is set for Friday, October 30th.
• 5:41
  Before we go, the China Beta of those approved Apple Intelligence tools is still the step
• 5:46
  due before this month ends.
