July 18th - Recently, the company has noticed that some GAC AIONS vehicles equipped with its batteries have experienced battery system failures under certain operating conditions. The company solemnly promises that owners of vehicles using Zhongchuang Innovation AION batteries who encounter battery system failures can directly visit the companys service outlets for free inspection, and enjoy free battery system repair and maintenance services according to the inspection results.On July 18th, it was learned from the Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, that during the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference and High-Level Meeting on Global Governance of Artificial Intelligence, Chinas pioneering AI-enabled accelerator-driven advanced nuclear energy system (AIforADANES) technology roadmap was launched globally, and its global innovation alliance was simultaneously unveiled. According to reports, this technology roadmap, by building an intelligent system based on a physical intrinsic world model, pioneers a new paradigm of "data + physical model + expert experience triple-driven," resolving the core contradiction between the "uncontrollable black box" nature of AI and the "zero tolerance for error" in the nuclear industry, filling the technological gap in the global implementation of advanced intelligent nuclear energy.On July 18th, at the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC), Turing Quantum released QAgent, a quantum-classical hybrid agent platform. This is the worlds first quantum-classical hybrid intelligent agent platform based on optical quantum technology and designed for industry-wide deployment. As a landmark achievement of the 2026 Pudong AI Conference, the platform opens up a channel for the industrial application of AI agents and optical quantum computing power. QAgent uses a large language model and intelligent agents as a unified scheduling entry point, relying on its self-developed optical quantum computing system. It deeply integrates a quantum-classical hybrid computing power foundation, the DeepQuantum quantum artificial intelligence programming framework, a full-scenario quantum algorithm library, and industry-specific tools and skills, achieving for the first time an end-to-end closed loop of "natural language input—intelligent task decomposition—quantum agent collaborative invocation—quantum computing power scheduling—result aggregation and output." This signifies that quantum computing is moving from cutting-edge computing power to industry capabilities, and from expert-driven research tools to agent-driven industrial services.Irans Ministry of Health: Since June 27, the US attacks have resulted in at least 50 deaths and 500 injuries.July 18th - The 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference will be held from July 17th to 20th. Qianjue Robotics showcased its VTLA (Vision-Tactile-Language-Motion) embodied haptic model, haptic multimodal dataset, core data acquisition equipment, and a haptic sensor hardware matrix. Ma Daolin, founder of Qianjue Robotics, stated that unlike traditional single-vision VLA models, the VTLA model innovatively integrates visual and haptic dual-modal perception information, giving the robot visual recognition and tactile perception capabilities. It can capture physical attributes of objects that cannot be obtained by a single vision device, significantly upgrading the recognition dimensions and detection accuracy.

Banking Behemoth Barclays Buys a Stake in Crypto Firm Copper

One of the biggest banks in the UK, Barclays, has participated in a fundraising round for Copper and is anticipated to spend millions of dollars in the cryptocurrency company, which counts Lord Philip Hammond, a former chancellor of the exchequer, among its advisors.


The investment round for Copper, which offers custody, prime broking, and settlement services to institutional investors investing in cryptoassets, is expected to be completed in the coming days.

Delay of nine months

Despite the recent cryptocurrency meltdown wiping away roughly $40 billion in investor money and more than $2 trillion in market value, Copper has still been able to attract investment from one of the most reputable banks in the world.


Barclays, the world's largest bank, has finished the lengthy investor negotiations that had been put off since November of last year as Copper struggled with a temporary regulatory registration in the UK.


More precisely, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) mandates interim registration for digital asset service providers in compliance with money laundering laws. This implies that in order to operate, all crypto-asset enterprises must first seek full FCA registration.


However, Copper subsequently made the decision to become regulated in Switzerland as a result of the financial watchdog's refusal to accept its license registration.


Blockchain.com and Revolut are just two of the many companies that operate under the Temporary Registration Regime (TRR), and more than 100 businesses filed for registration when the FCA took over as the UK's anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism funding body in 2020.

Bloomberg reports that although Barclays has made an undisclosed investment in the "millions of dollars," individuals with knowledge of the situation indicated last year that the funds might increase Copper's worth to around $3 billion. Additionally, the sources said they were uncertain whether the sum raised would be made public.


In 2015, Barclays became one of the first traditional banks to promote cryptocurrency when it started enabling charities to accept contributions made in Bitcoin (BTC) as a form of alternative payment.


However, the bank also has a murky history with cryptocurrencies, having prevented UK-based clients from sending money to Binance by forbidding them from paying the exchange using a credit or debit card. The restriction was implemented soon after the Financial Do Authority said that Binance Markets Limited was no longer permitted to conduct cryptocurrency business in the nation.


Similar to this, Barclays already severed connections with Coinbase and is no longer the bitcoin exchange's financial provider.


In a Series B fundraising round that included Illuminate Financial Management, LocalGlobe, and MMC Ventures and was co-led by Dawn Capital and Target Global last year, London-based Copper received $50 million.
