AI Mode breaks questions into subtopics using Google’s “query fan-out” technique and accepts queries by voice, text, or image making it a versatile tool for exploring nuanced topics or discovering hidden content across the web. Google promises high-quality results and better visibility for diverse websites, all while improving factual reliability through new ranking techniques.

CHINA

China Proposes AI Alliance: Seeks Global Governance Framework at WAIC 2025

At the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai, China unveiled its vision for a globally coordinated AI governance framework just days after the US released its own plan focused on domestic dominance.

Source: ASEAN on X

Key Highlights:

  • Premier Li Qiang called for an international AI governance alliance, citing regulatory fragmentation and growing risks.

  • Urged against monopolistic controls: “AI must not become an exclusive game for a few nations or companies.”

  • US plan contrasts sharply: focuses on streamlining regulation and securing strategic advantage.

  • Tech rivalry intensifies with AI chip negotiations: Nvidia ban lifted, DuPont probe paused.

  • China has over 5,000 AI firms and leads in generative AI patents.

  • DeepSeek’s and Moonshot’s models shook Wall Street with low-cost, high-performance breakthroughs.

  • AI investments: $209B via state VC since 2013, plus $56B in 2025 alone.

  • ASEAN and Eric Schmidt push for US-China collaboration to counter misinformation and cyber threats.

Why It Matters:

WAIC 2025 makes clear: AI is more than tech it’s a geopolitical battleground and a call for shared responsibility. China’s proposal underscores the need for transparent oversight, technical parity, and global consensus before AI systems reshape economies and societies without a map.

ANTHROPIC

Claude Tightens the Screws: Weekly Limits Kick In August 28

Anthropic is implementing stricter weekly usage limits for Claude starting August 28, 2024. In addition to the rolling 5-hour window, subscribers will now face weekly caps across all models and a separate quota for Claude Opus 4. Users leveraging Claude Sonnet 4 can expect between 40 and 80 hours weekly, with those running multiple Claude Code instances reaching the ceiling sooner.

These changes aim to curb account sharing, minimize abuse, and maintain system performance, though Anthropic says fewer than 5% of users will feel the pinch. The move signals a shift toward more structured agent workflows, possibly paving the way for monetization models around Claude's code, Sonnet, and Opus tiers.

NOTEBOOKLM

NotebookLM Teases “Summer Blockbuster” AI Drop

On July 28, NotebookLM ignited speculation across X with a cryptic teaser:

No further details yet, but the dramatic phrasing has AI watchers anticipating a major feature release possibly agentic workflows, upgraded context tools, or multi-modal integration. With NotebookLM’s recent focus on expert-mode and precision prompts, this could mark a turning point in intelligent workspace design.
