AWS Bedrock Silently Launches Kimi K2.5 and GLM 4.7

Cloud ServiceLarge Model

AWS Bedrock is reported to have quietly added Moonshot AI's Kimi K2.5 and Zhipu's GLM 4.7 without a public announcement. Both models support the Converse API and function calling, with Kimi K2.5 also offering native image understanding capabilities. They are now accessible via API in us-east-1 and us-west-2 regions, although official documentation has not yet been updated. Developers are advised to use gateways like LiteLLM for model switching to reuse existing AWS credits and reduce vendor lock-in.

OpenClaw Skill Marketplace Hit by Supply Chain Poisoning, Integrates VirusTotal Scanning

SecurityAI AgentOpen Source

The open-source autonomous agent project OpenClaw reported that its skill marketplace, ClawHub, suffered a supply chain attack: a security researcher discovered a popular 'Twitter' skill containing a multi-stage macOS info-stealing malware downloader capable of stealing API keys and browser sessions. Security firm Koi's audit found 341 malicious files among 2,857 skill files, with 335 originating from the same attack chain. The team will integrate Google VirusTotal for pre-release full scanning and introduce Gemini-based CodeInsight to analyze code risks, alongside launching threat modeling, a security roadmap, and a vulnerability disclosure program.

Meituan Open-Sources LongCat-Flash-Lite: 68.5B MoE with 2.9–4.5B Activated

Open SourceInference AccelerationLarge Model

Meituan announced the open-sourcing of LongCat-Flash-Lite: a 68.5B parameter MoE model that replaces traditional MoE expert routing with N-gram Embedding, complemented by system optimizations including N-gram Cache, CUDA kernel fusion, and PDL to reduce I/O and scheduling overhead. Officially, it dynamically activates around 2.9–4.5B parameters per inference and leverages 3-step speculative decoding to further reduce latency. Under a 4K input / 1K output load, LongCat API claims generation speeds of 500–700 tokens/s, targeting Agent tool usage and programming scenarios.

New York Moves to Mandate AI News Labeling and Proposes 3-Year Halt on New Data Center Permits

Policy & RegulationContent GovernanceData Center

New York is advancing state-level AI governance into mandatory compliance. The NY FAIR News Act requires clear labeling of news content substantially created by generative AI and mandates human editors to review and control such content before publication, while prohibiting AI systems from accessing confidential source information. Another bill, S9144, proposes a three-year pause on permits for new data centers due to projected additional grid load of at least 10GW. Analysts suggest this could prompt other states to follow suit, creating more fragmented compliance requirements and infrastructure siting constraints for AI and content companies operating in New York.
