Z.ai unveils GLM-5.2 trained with only Huawei chips, without Nvidia
Chinese AI company Z.ai, formerly Zhipu AI, unveiled its next-generation large language model GLM-5.2 trained without Nvidia chips, using only Huawei Ascend accelerators. Z.ai said the model delivered top-tier performance on coding and agent benchmarks, nearing Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.8. It is distributed under the MIT licence without country restrictions, supports a 1 million-token context window and is priced below Claude Opus 4.8 for API use.

Desktop fusion device achieves 11 million-degree plasma milestone toward commercialisation
U.S. fusion startup Avalanche said it has generated plasma of about 11 million degrees Celsius in a desktop-sized prototype, reaching a temperature close to the sun’s core. The company said this clears a key technical threshold for fusion, though it does not mean net energy production. Avalanche is pursuing a small, low-cost system and said it has raised less than $50 million to reach this stage. The result has not been peer reviewed.

Roo Code says IDE era is over, ends VS Code plugin and launches Roomote autonomous agent
Open-source AI coding tool Roo Code will end its VS Code extension, cloud and router services on May 15 and shift toward an autonomous agent that works outside an integrated development environment. It has unveiled a cloud-based coding agent, Roomote, that connects with tools such as Slack, GitHub and Linear to handle tasks end-to-end and generate pull requests and changes for developers to review. CEO Matt Rubens said agents could eliminate certain types of work.
