China is reportedly preparing to spend about RMB 2 trillion on a nationwide AI compute network. The plan would require 80% domestic sourcing for AI chips and software, aiming to accelerate technological self-reliance and reduce dependence on U.S. suppliers. If implemented, the policy could largely sideline NVIDIA from core deployments and reshape global AI hardware supply chains, including pressure on Taiwanese suppliers.
Microsoft temporarily removed several open source GitHub projects while investigating suspected malicious content. The affected repos were linked to Azure and developer workflows involving AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and VS Code. Security researchers said the malware could steal passwords and sensitive credentials when compromised tools were opened, though Microsoft has not disclosed how many users were affected.
A GitHub security notice says Mantine DataTable and other repositories received unauthorized commits through the github-actions bot. The npm packages were reported safe; the risk targets developers who recently cloned or pulled the source and open it in VS Code, Cursor, Claude Code, Gemini, or run npm test. A later update links the payload to the Miasma / Shai-Hulud worm family and says a stolen credential is the likely path.
Anthropic introduced Project Glasswing after Claude Mythos Preview showed the ability to rapidly find high-risk vulnerabilities and generate connected attack commands. Trend Micro’s TrendAI has joined the framework, becoming the first Taiwanese cybersecurity vendor to do so. The article frames the move around Taiwan’s strategic AI hardware role and a new defensive logic: using AI to counter malicious AI.
The Verge, citing Reuters and Bloomberg, reports that TSMC is struggling to meet demand from American customers even as it expands factories in the US. CEO C.C. Wei said after a shareholder meeting that customer demand is extremely high and that the company can only support so much. The report highlights how AI growth continues to pressure advanced semiconductor capacity and supply planning.
A GitHub issue reports that jqwik 1.10.0 emits a destructive-sounding instruction during `mvn test` output. The string is followed by ANSI line-clearing codes, so it may vanish in interactive terminals but remain visible in CI logs or agent-captured stdout. The reporter asks for documentation, a configuration flag, or a benign replacement message.
Ars Technica reports that a developer frustrated with vibe coders slipped an undisclosed prompt injection into jqwik-related code. The injected text allegedly instructed AI coding agents to delete application output. The incident highlights a new supply-chain risk: source code and project text can become adversarial instructions for agentic coding tools.
Samsung is investing $1.5 billion to build its first chip testing plant in Vietnam, aiming to respond to memory supply gaps created by surging AI demand. The report says AI-related demand has crowded out capacity for traditional DRAM and NAND products, creating pressure in legacy memory supply. The move also reflects Samsung’s broader supply-chain diversification strategy amid U.S.-China competition and rising geopolitical risk.
Ars Technica reports that Starlette, a Python package with about 325 million weekly downloads, has a critical vulnerability called BadHost. The flaw can let crafted Host headers confuse request.url.path, potentially bypassing middleware-based path authorization. AI infrastructure using FastAPI or Starlette, including vLLM, LiteLLM, MCP servers, LLM proxies, and agent frameworks, should upgrade Starlette and audit custom middleware.
