Luo Fuli: The R&D challenges of MiMo-V2.6 have exceeded those of DeepSeek R1 that I have worked on.
Beating AI Express (Insight): Luo Fuli, head of Xiaomi’s MiMo project, further explained the current round of reinforcement learning after the release of MiMo-V2.6. She noted that she previously worked on DeepSeek R1, and in her view, the research innovations and engineering challenges behind MiMo-V2.6 exceed those of R1. She also clarified why MiMo uses both MixRL and MOPD: MixRL trains verifiable tasks such as code, general agents, vision, and cybersecurity all within a single round of reinforcement learning. MOPD, meanwhile, handles long, hard-to-verify, or subjectively rewarded tasks by training them separately first, then integrating their capabilities back into the main model. Tasks like games and 3D take too long to run at once and are difficult to auto-assess for correctness. If grouped with code and other tasks in the same RL round, they would significantly slow down training. As a result, MiMo trains these tasks separately and integrates their capabilities into the main model via MOPD.

Uniswap team members have cast doubt on the "death" narrative surrounding Robinhood Chain, noting that its daily trading volume remains above $1 billion.
Uniswap team member niko published a post stating that after Robinhood Chain’s recent large-scale innovation boosted market performance, other blockchains started replicating its ecosystem projects. Meanwhile, some KOLs and venture capital institutions have repeatedly claimed Robinhood Chain is declining, directing users to similar projects on other chains. Niko pointed out that contrary to these claims, Robinhood Chain’s daily trading volume still exceeds $1 billion, and its stock token trading scale is growing rapidly. He believes the bearish narrative surrounding Robinhood Chain’s ecosystem is clearly at odds with actual on-chain data.

Muse Exposes Zero-Day Vulnerability, Allowing Local Programs to Hijack Agent Permissions
Beating AI News Flash: Meta’s personal AI agent Muse, launched just two weeks ago, has been discovered with a local zero-day vulnerability by security researcher Patrick Wardle. Attackers only need to run a piece of code on a Mac under the current user’s identity to modify a hidden Muse setting, redirecting voice requests to their own server. This code does not require extra macOS permissions. Post-exploitation, attackers can intercept users’ voice inputs to Muse, inject malicious commands, and potentially obtain Muse’s authentication credentials. Muse itself has access to system resources such as files and cameras; whatever permissions users grant Muse, malicious programs could leverage Muse to abuse those access rights. Notably, this is not a vulnerability enabling remote Mac intrusion—attackers must first execute the code locally on the device. When Meta launched Muse, it highlighted its security design, which includes the Muse Secure VM and an independent Sentinel Agent. The first zero-day vulnerability, however, was found in a hidden setting on the Mac client that can be modified by a regular local process.
