AI token prices drop 40% since June as Chinese open-weights fuel competition – analysts see demand surge
China's StairMed raises $163M for a brain implant that enters via a vein, still only sheep-tested
Moore Threads, Nvidia challenger, plans Hong Kong listing after 147% revenue jump

A Eye on AI - 12:30 PM
In this episode of A Eye on AI, we look at how cheap Chinese open-weight models have pushed AI inference prices down 40% in under two months – a trend analysts say will accelerate adoption rather than hurt the industry. Chinese brain-computer interface maker StairMed has raised over $163 million to develop an implant that slides in like a stent, avoiding brain surgery, though human trials haven't started. Nvidia challenger Moore Threads reported a 147% revenue jump and is preparing a Hong Kong listing. And we explore why American teachers are increasingly using AI detectors despite their unreliability, with a survey showing 43% of sixth to twelfth grade teachers used them between 2024 and 2025.
