Ricursive's self-trained 65B model: Developed by a 5-person R&D team, its programming capabilities are approaching the top tier of US open-source models.

South Korean securities firm Meritz Securities pointed out that memory chip makers currently have far more 2027-2028 orders than their production capacity. Even if the U.S. Democratic Party gains an upper hand in the midterm elections, leading to delays or adjustments in some data center projects, it will not fundamentally reverse the memory chip supply shortage. Meritz noted that this year, memory chip order fulfillment rates (the ratio of available supply capacity to order volume) have stayed at a low 80% to 85%, driving sharp increases in memory chip prices. It forecasts the supply-demand gap will further widen by 2027, with the order fulfillment rate possibly dropping to around 80%. Separately, during OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s recent visit to South Korea, he requested custom storage products including HBM from SK hynix and Samsung Electronics for 2027-2030, with demand even exceeding the two firms’ available supply capacity. Community user Teng Yan added that Samsung stated in an October 29 conference call with Meritz that it has signed multi-year storage supply agreements with 10 major clients, while an equal number of clients are in negotiations. Storage demand has also expanded beyond cloud service giants and AI server manufacturers to more sectors. As such, the slowdown in U.S. data center approvals will only impact a portion of orders and is unlikely to alter the overall tight supply-demand landscape.

Beating AI Express News: Meta has acquired AI coding tool Conductor. Founder Charlie Holtz announced the team will join Meta’s Superintelligence Lab (MSL) to develop new products alongside Nat Friedman and Alexandr Wang. Conductor is a tool for managing multiple coding agents simultaneously, supporting Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and OpenCode. It assigns tasks to different agents, enabling them to work in parallel on separate code branches. Developers can track progress, review code changes, and merge results all within a single interface. Launched in July 2025, Conductor secured a $22 million Series A funding round just this past March. Its official website notes it has over 100,000 active developers. However, the acquisition means the original Conductor service is being phased out: new user registrations and downloads will stop on November 4. The cloud version will switch to read-only access on November 13, fully shut down on November 20, and cloud user data will be deleted at that time. The local version will remain usable temporarily, but will also be phased out starting in early 2027. Holtz added that the team plans to launch a new developer tool interface early next year. Some community users have expressed disappointment over the shutdown, with many already seeking alternative tools, while others are calling for Conductor to be open-sourced.

According to official announcements from Bitget, the platform has announced the launch of its Open Custody Network (OCN). Centered on the core philosophy of "Assets in Bank, Tradings on Bitget", OCN is designed to connect professional financial institutions including banks and custodial firms with Bitget’s trading infrastructure. The network integrates core capabilities such as independent asset custody, bank and institutional-grade security, exchange-integrated trading services, and capital efficiency, breaking the traditional model where centralized exchanges combine asset custody and trading on a single platform. Through an asset mapping mechanism, OCN bridges independent asset custody and trading services, allowing all eligible users to retain full independent custody rights over their assets while participating in Bitget’s spot, margin, and futures trading, as well as accessing exchange-level liquidity and integrated trading services. This further lowers barriers to trading participation, enabling more users to access financial services in a more equitable way. Bitget CEO Gracy Chen noted that OCN aims to break the traditional paradigm where users must custody assets on exchanges to use their trading services, letting users choose their own asset custody methods while benefiting from high-quality liquidity and efficient capital utilization, making financial services more open and inclusive.
