Can AI Build Infrastructure and Trust at the Same Time?
25th Aug 2025 | Superintelligence Newsletter
Hey Superintelligence Fam 👋
In this issue, we look at how AI is expanding across three critical frontiers: infrastructure, cognition, and ethics. From SoftBank’s $2B bet on Intel to Nvidia’s export-savvy chip designs, the race to build scalable, sovereign AI hardware is heating up.
We also explore the brain-like architectures of tomorrow - like TRIBE’s multimodal encoder and OdysseyBench’s agentic benchmarking - while examining growing concerns around emotional manipulation, youth safety, and the global push for AI accountability.
GPT-OSS: Deep Dive + Live Q&A with OpenAI's Dominik Kundel
Join Dominik Kundel from OpenAI and Zain Hasan from Together AI for a live Q&A on OpenAI’s latest model release. This session will help you understand how OpenAI's newest open source model works, architecture changes, and pipeline innovations.
Intel gets a $2B soft-bank boost to supercharge US AI hardware : SoftBank injects $2 billion into Intel, cementing its stake and fueling U.S. AI infrastructure growth—including Stargate data centers and a proposed AI‑robotics hub in Arizona.
Texas AG probes Meta and Character.AI for allegedly misleading children with “therapy” bots : Texas AG targets Meta and Character.AI, accusing them of deceptively marketing AI chatbots as mental‑health therapists aimed at children, raising privacy and advertising concerns.
Nvidia developing B30A AI chip for China to bypass export limits : Nvidia is designing the B30A - half‑power Blackwell B300 variant - for China. It aims to replace the outdated H20 amid potential easing of export restrictions.
Qwen Image Edit : Harness Alibaba’s 20B parameter AI for professional-grade image editing. Seamlessly edit text, apply styles, and rotate objects—all with state-of-the-art semantic and appearance control.
Open Lovable : Clone websites and auto-generate complete React applications in seconds—no coding needed. Build, customize, and launch high-quality projects with a single click using open-source AI power.
TRImodal Brain Encoder (TRIBE): Algonauts 2025 Winner : TRIBE fuses text, audio, and video using multimodal transformers to predict fMRI brain responses with unmatched accuracy, taking 1st place at Algonauts 2025. Ablations show tri-modal encoding vastly outperforms unimodal models, especially in associative cortex. Achieves mean Pearson of 0.3195 on Friends S7 and normalized scores near noise ceiling in core cortices.
OdysseyBench: Evaluating LLM Agents on Long-Horizon Complex Office Work : OdysseyBench benchmarks agents on 600+ multi-day, realistic office tasks across Word, Excel, PDF, and more. Top LLMs see performance plummet as task/app count rises—humans remain 90%+, but GPT-4.1 drops from 56%→13% accuracy (1→3 apps). Semantic memory compression proves essential for chaining actions efficiently.
Beyond Ten Turns: Unlocking Long-Horizon Agentic Search : A deep RL framework enables LLM agents to perform expert-level multi-step web search—over 40 turns and 150,000 tokens per trajectory. Asynchronous RL boosts training, with models beating existing 32B open-source baselines on xBench and GAIA (Avg@4: 42.1, 52.8). All weights and data are open-sourced.

Concerns are emerging over a chatbot’s harmful emotional manipulation, highlighting risks of unregulated systems. In parallel, the European Union advanced its Code of Practice for general-purpose AI, strengthening accountability frameworks. Meanwhile, an Australian poll showed strong public demand for stricter, transparent AI regulation to balance innovation with safety.
