Citrini analyst Jukan reposted content on platform X stating that industry insiders say Google DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis previously planned to leave around the same time as another co-founder David Silver, but Google management worried this news might trigger a significant stock price drop, therefore hoping he would postpone his departure. Sources say that after Google announced relevant adjustments, the company's stock price indeed dropped, and eventually Hassabis was persuaded to transition to the DeepMind Chairman position to help the organization transition smoothly and create space to leave Google in a more appropriate way in the future. It is reported that as David Silver turns to founding Ineffable Intelligence and John Jumper joins Anthropic, DeepMind's core AI R&D strength is undergoing changes. Some insiders believe that the center truly driving AI model development at Google has now shifted more towards the US Bay Area, DeepMind's importance has declined somewhat, and Google's internal focus has shifted to the large language model Gemini to catch up with OpenAI and Anthropic. Hassabis's adjustment reflects long-standing strategic contradictions within Google: research personnel focus more on long-term scientific breakthroughs, while business teams focus more on AI products that can be commercialized quickly and drive revenue and stock price growth. The market predicts Hassabis may leave Google within a year and may start a new venture again.

Odaily News: Citrini analyst jukan posted on X, stating that Samsung Electronics is considering outsourcing the backend design work for the I/O Die of Google's 10th generation 2nm TPU "Icefish," and has already inquired with design solution partners about requirements. This TPU is used to run Google's AI models, including Gemini. Google is reportedly co-designing this chip with MediaTek, with mass production planned as early as 2028. The TPU consists of a compute processor and an I/O Die; the compute processor is expected to be manufactured by TSMC using a 1.4nm process, while the I/O Die will be manufactured by Samsung Electronics using a 2nm process. Recently, Samsung Electronics is said to have secured Anthropic and DeepX as 2nm customers, in addition to Google and Tesla.ADTechnology, Gaonchips, and Alphachips have been mentioned as potential outsourcing contractors. Among them, ADTechnology is focusing on a 2nm CPU project "ADP620," targeting an annual revenue exceeding 1 trillion KRW between 2028 and 2029. Gaonchips is preparing to participate in the "K-On-Device AI" project, which has a budget of approximately 800 billion KRW from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy. Alphachips is reportedly viewing the Google TPU project as a growth driver and is becoming more actively involved.

According to Red Star News, an investigation report leaked from Myanmar fraud parks shows that global telecom fraud is accelerating towards an "AI industrialization + cross-border encrypted payment" system. Fraud networks complete fund flows through cryptocurrencies and use large model-based automated tools for multi-language script generation, identity disguise, and emotional manipulation. According to investigation analysis, these systems extensively utilize OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini at the functional level to support "scaled social fraud," while on the funding end, rapid laundering and transfer are achieved through on-chain payments and cross-border channels, forming a dual-layer structure of "AI customer acquisition + encrypted settlement," enabling the fraud industry to possess high automation and cross-national diffusion capabilities. Additionally, Musk's Starlink has become the top network service provider for Myanmar fraud parks, with US ISP service providers carrying nearly one-fifth of the park's traffic. Regarding the relevant allegations, OpenAI responded that fraudsters' use of ChatGPT is highly similar to that of ordinary users, making identification difficult, but approximately 100,000 suspicious accounts are banned monthly through behavior pattern recognition and risk control systems. Google stated its AI models have established safety guardrails and emphasized commitment to "responsible AI development" to limit tools from being used for illegal purposes such as fraud.

the U.S. Department of Justice stated in a press release that a 47-year-old resident of Newcastle, Washington, Geoffrey K. Auyeung, has been sentenced to 5 years in prison for conspiracy to commit money laundering.Geoffrey K. Auyeung assisted overseas scammers in transferring nearly $100 million in investment fraud proceeds through bank accounts and cryptocurrency exchanges.

Auyeung established at least nine entities to receive funds, which were then transferred overseas or exchanged for cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, and USDC via exchanges like Gemini, Coinbase, and BitStamp.

Auyeung opened at least 81 bank accounts across 24 financial institutions and 19 accounts across 8 cryptocurrency exchanges, receiving a total of $97.1 million in wire transfers and deposits. Through his involvement in the scheme, he earned at least $4 million in commissions and received an additional $400,000 in commissions through accounts under his wife's name between August 2024 and December 2025.
