Chinese AI company DeepSeek has published a paper from its DeepSeek Harness team describing a system that would make AI coding assistants more autonomous, so they can handle multiple tasks with less human input. The paper argues that managing several agents is limited by human attention, noting that a person can oversee only three to five active AI agent sessions at once. The proposed system would distribute tasks among agents and coordinate their work, leaving humans free to review results and make decisions. The proposal comes amid intense competition among AI developers, including US companies Anthropic and OpenAI. The article also recalls that DeepSeek led a crypto trading experiment, being the only AI model to generate a positive unrealized return of 9.1%.

- DeepSeek Completes Nearly $15 Billion Funding Round, Largest Ever in China
Chinese AI startup DeepSeek is finalizing a funding round of about 100 billion yuan (US$14.98 billion) from existing and new investors, including Tencent and CATL, according to Reuters citing sources. The round values the company at 500 billion yuan (about $74.9 billion) before the new capital, and its size is double the initial target of 50 billion yuan. Other participants include Midea, Meituan, Geely and GigaDevice, with more than 15 investors in total. The terms and investor list are not final and the deal is expected to close within days, while DeepSeek, CATL and Tencent have not commented. The move follows DeepSeek's hiring of CITIC Securities in September to prepare a potential IPO on China's STAR Market.
- DeepSeek's Latest Update Scores Lower on Accounting Work as Open Models Trail on Consistency, DualEntry Benchmark Finds.
DualEntry's Accounting AI Benchmark (DualBench100) finds DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 correctly completed 82.2% of tasks, down from 84.2% for the earlier V4.1 Flash, tying for tenth of 19 models. Open models are close on accuracy, with GLM-5.3 Flash leading them at 88.1%, while Gemini 4 Argon tops the chart at 91.1%. The bigger gap is consistency: Gemini 4 Argon passed 86.1% of tasks in all three runs, versus 76.2% for GLM-5.3 Flash. The benchmark covers 101 synthetic accounting cases, with each model run three times and an 80% pass mark. DualEntry founder Benedict Dohmen said reliability, not accuracy, is now the key issue for agents working in the general ledger.
- U.S. bans DeepSeek from government agency systems amid AI rift with China
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security made public an order requiring federal civilian agencies to remove DeepSeek-related technology from their IT systems and barring them from buying DeepSeek products and services, including third-party products built on its technology. The order was originally issued on July 24 and covers agencies such as the Treasury, State and Justice departments but excludes the Department of Defense. DHS warned that DeepSeek's models pose multiple threats, including possible transfer of sensitive government data to China and critical security flaws in its iOS app. Agencies may seek exceptions, including compliance delays, by submitting written justifications within 60 days of the order. The ban follows earlier restrictions, including Congress's limits in December 2025 and the Defense Information Systems Agency's block in January 2025.
- US bans DeepSeek from civilian agency IT systems
The US Department of Homeland Security has ordered the removal of DeepSeek products from federal civilian agency IT systems and barred agencies from new purchases, with the order also covering DeepSeek affiliates and third-party products built on DeepSeek. DHS warned that use of DeepSeek by employees and contractors could expose sensitive information to China, including details about US citizens and federal programs, and cited security flaws in DeepSeek's iOS app. The order took effect immediately upon publication and expands earlier bans at the Commerce Department and parts of the defense, security and intelligence community, amid US-China competition in AI. Australia had already banned DeepSeek products from government systems and devices in February 2025.
- US Orders Civilian Agencies to Rip DeepSeek Out of Government Systems
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Monday ordered civilian federal agencies to remove DeepSeek products and third-party services built on the model from their IT systems, and to stop buying them. The notice warns that using DeepSeek may transfer sensitive data to China and could produce intelligence on U.S. persons and agencies. The Commerce Department, the Navy, and the states of New York, Tennessee and Virginia had already restricted DeepSeek. The FCC votes on October 29 on barring Chinese labs from testing electronics for U.S. use.
- OpenAI, Anthropic's AI Lead Is 'Very Perishable,' IMD Professor Says: 'You Don't Need to Drive a Ferrari to Go to Walmart'
IMD professor Howard Yu says OpenAI and Anthropic may stay ahead of Chinese rivals, but a lead of roughly four to six months is 'very perishable' because most use cases don't need top-tier capability. He notes many companies use AI for simple tasks and weigh token spending against hiring, while cheaper Chinese open-source models can run inside a company's own data centers, a demand especially strong in Europe. Yu believes OpenAI and Anthropic will not be easily displaced in Western consumer markets thanks to easy access and clean interfaces, though enterprise buyers are more sophisticated. Polymarket traders still see U.S. labs leading, with Anthropic at about 43%, Alphabet at 42%, OpenAI near 8%, and Chinese labs around 1% or less to have the best AI model at end-2026.

- Investors Fined for Manipulating Kido Shares
Three investors were fined a total of 4.5 billion dong for manipulating shares of Kido (KDC) and for lending accounts used in the manipulation. Under the State Securities Commission's decision dated 28/10/2026, Thang Phú Minh, Lâm Thúy Hằng and Dương Thái Phương Thảo were each fined 1.5 billion dong for using 61 accounts to trade KDC shares repeatedly between 2/5/2024 and 6/1/2025, creating artificial supply and demand. The three are also banned for two years from trading securities and from holding positions at securities firms and fund managers in Vietnam, effective 2/11/2026.

- 2 Space Stocks Down More Than 50% That Could Be the Best Buys of Q4
AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) is down roughly 69% from its May 2026 peak, while Rocket Lab (RKLB) has fallen more than 60% from its record high, as investors reassessed timelines and competition. Bank of America expects AST to begin initial intermittent cellular coverage in the U.S., Canada, Japan, the U.K. and Saudi Arabia before the end of 2026, backed by partnerships with more than 60 mobile operators serving over 3 billion subscribers. AST launched 13 satellites in August but still faces execution, competition and funding risks. Rocket Lab reported record Q2 2026 revenue of about $234 million, up 62% year over year, and a record backlog of $2.4 billion, up 137%, while it agreed to acquire Iridium Communications and delayed its Neutron rocket debut to 2027. Analysts' target prices imply potential upside of 10% to 157%, and the stock trades at about 41 times sales.
- Copilot AI Predicts Solana Could Hit $2,500 if This Landmark Event Happens
Microsoft's Copilot AI forecasts SOL could reach $1,000–$2,000 by January 1, 2027, with a stretch target toward $2,500 or more if a full crypto bull market is fueled by a major consortium adopting Solana for consumer apps and real-time payments. The article stresses this outlook is extreme and far beyond mainstream forecasts, with SOL trading near $95 as of November 1, 2026. On technicals, SOL is consolidating in the $115–$125 range, with resistance at $130–$150 and a prior all-time high near $296, and nearer supports at $110–$115 and $100–$105. The author argues that a normal bull market supports further upside, but only an extraordinary surge in real-world adoption could justify gains of several thousand percent to reach the $1,000–$2,500 targets. Five potential catalysts are cited: traditional financial restrictions, geopolitical instability, interest rate cuts, Bitcoin's next rally and institutional investment.

- Why Micron Stock Looks Cheap After a Record Year
Micron, which makes memory chips for PCs and AI servers, posted a record fiscal 2026 with revenue of $133 billion and adjusted earnings of $75.52 per share, up from $8.29 a year earlier. Yet the stock closed on Oct. 28 about 13% below its earnings-day close, trading at a forward P/E of about 5.5 versus about 19 for the S&P 500. Micron has signed 26 long-term strategic customer agreements covering over 35% of expected revenue through 2030, backed by $32 billion in customer financial commitments. Adjusted free cash flow reached $62 billion for the full year, while capital spending of about $27 billion in fiscal 2026 and about $25 billion planned for the first half of fiscal 2027 will fund new supply. The article says DRAM prices and days of inventory are the two metrics to watch: if prices keep climbing and inventory days fall as management expects, the stock could keep surging next year; if inventory keeps rising while prices stall, that signals excess supply.
