DeepSeek’s new AI is optimized for China’s next-gen chips

Chinese AI startup DeepSeek has released V3.1, a faster, leaner model designed to run on domestic chips. It’s not just an upgrade. It’s a geopolitical signal.
Here’s everything you need to know:
The V3.1 model uses a new FP8 precision format to boost speed and cut memory use.
It’s built to support next-gen Chinese chips though DeepSeek didn’t name which ones.
The model features a hybrid mode: users can toggle between “reasoning” and “non-reasoning” tasks.
DeepSeek claims this helps optimize resource use across different query types.
The company is positioning itself as a low-cost, high-performance alternative to Western models.
It’s also adjusting API pricing from September 6 to reflect the performance gains.
The update follows multiple releases this year, as Beijing pushes for self-reliant AI infrastructure.
This isn’t just a technical upgrade, it’s part of China’s bigger AI strategy. DeepSeek is betting that if it can go toe-to-toe with OpenAI and run locally, it could become the go-to model in a post-export-restriction world.
Google’s AI Mode is starting to do things, not just answer questions

Google just rolled out a major upgrade to AI Mode in Search. The shift? Less like a search engine, more like a smart assistant.
Here’s everything you need to know:
You can now ask Google to get things done like making dinner reservations.
The AI juggles multiple preferences (time, cuisine, party size) and shows real-time options.
It’s powered by Project Mariner, Google Maps, and partners like OpenTable and Ticketmaster.
Personalized suggestions now factor in your past activity and preferences.
You can share results with friends who can jump in and explore, too.
It’s launching first in the U.S. for Google AI Ultra users, with global expansion to 180+ countries.
This is the most “agentic” version of Search we’ve seen, built to act, not just inform.
Search is no longer just a place to find information, it’s becoming a place to delegate. If this sticks, Google won’t just help you discover answers. It’ll help you move through your day.:
This AI upgrade doesn’t spy on you and that’s the point

Proton just launched Lumo v1.1, a major upgrade to its AI assistant. The twist? It’s smarter and respects your privacy.
Here’s everything you need to know:
Lumo now gives faster, more intelligent, and more accurate responses.
Proton claims a 200% boost in reasoning and 170% in understanding context.
Coding support improved too with 40% more accurate code generation.
But the real headline: Lumo never logs, stores, or trains on your chats.
Your conversations are encrypted, and even Proton can’t access them.
To prove it, they’ve open-sourced the mobile app code.
Lumo Plus offers unlimited use but the core experience is built on trust, not surveillance.
Lumo isn’t just another chatbot, it’s a challenge to how the AI industry works. Proton is betting that privacy will become a competitive edge. And honestly? That bet’s starting to look pretty smart.

Thanks for reading…
That’s a wrap.
