Tesla CEO Elon Musk has given an exclusive interview to CCTV Finance. When discussing robots, he outlined an optimistic future vision: every individual will own a dedicated robot, which can care for elderly parents, look after children, serve as a one-on-one tutor for kids, and perform various tasks. In the future, a single person will be able to control hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of physical robots and digital agents. "My prediction is that there will be at least 1 billion humanoid robots in 10 years, possibly 10 billion in 15 years, and potentially 100 billion in 20 years."

According to the Financial Times, China’s gold imports this year have topped 1,000 tons, with spending hitting an all-time high. As of August, China has spent approximately $15.88 billion to import more than 1,000 tons of gold—far exceeding last year’s full-year total of $9.65 billion (corresponding to 886 tons). This represents China’s largest gold import expenditure on record. Analysts attribute China’s massive gold purchases primarily to intensifying external geopolitical tensions, as both central banks and private investors are accelerating shifts of reserves and savings into gold as a long-term wealth preservation tool. The report notes that China is also the world’s largest gold producer, with output of 384 tons last year. Gold prices have surged sharply from around $2,625 per ounce at the start of 2025, further stimulating gold demand. Analysts believe this trend is likely to persist as long as economic and geopolitical uncertainties continue.

Beating AI News Brief: AI application development framework CopilotKit has open-sourced OpenMuse, a self-deployable personal AI Agent styled after Muse. It supports iOS, Android, and Web, with the Agent featuring its own Chromium browser, integration with Linux terminals and file systems, and the ability to run tasks in the background. Built on CopilotKit and AG-UI, the project can also connect to different Agent harnesses. In addition to chat functionality, it can store task plans, goals, and progress, and integrate with Gmail and Google Calendar. For operations like sending emails or adjusting schedules, it first requests user confirmation. Users can directly access the browser and terminal to view the Agent’s ongoing work and take control at any time. That said, the project is still in Alpha: full testing with real Google accounts and models is not yet complete, cross-device synchronization remains unvalidated, and features like automatic payments, ticketing, banking, and social connectors are on the roadmap. CopilotKit has previously open-sourced projects including OpenBot and OpenGenerativeUI. It has consistently prioritized developing new Agent product forms as open-source reference implementations that can be self-deployed, modified, and extended.

According to Caixin reports, Cambodian authorities have for the first time disclosed details of the large-scale online telecom fraud hub "Camp 8" (also known as Wansheng Commercial City or Legend Park) in Prey Veng Province. Built in 2023, the 120-hectare site is one of Cambodia’s largest fraud bases, capable of housing up to 20,000 trafficked laborers forced to conduct cross-border telecom and online fraud. It operates as a closed "city within a city" with full supporting facilities including offices, accommodation, supermarkets, and network data centers. Blockchain intelligence agency Elliptic’s investigation found that the park’s operator, Legend Innovation, has direct overlaps and links with the US and UK-sanctioned Prince Group in corporate phone registration, executive activities, and business records. Additionally, the park long hosted an offline service outlet of Huione Pay, used for cryptocurrency and fiat currency deposits, withdrawals, and exchanges for park personnel and illicit financial operations.
