Just redesigned the China AI Index site with a brand-new visual identity (and a DARK MODE). Hope you like the new version!

The benefits of using JEPA, an approach @ylecun has championed for years, in LingBot-Touch:
1) Avoid wasting model capacity reconstructing mostly inactive tactile sensor readings.
2) Learn from thousands of hours of tactile data without manually labeling every contact event.
3) Help learn representations of physical contact that generalize across different sensors.
What changes when robots can feel—not just see? 🤖✋
Meet LingBot-Touch, our open-source tactile foundation model towards dexterous manipulation, pretrained on nearly 5,000 hours of real tactile data.
Through unified heterogeneous tactile modeling, LingBot-Touch supports transfer across sensors, dexterous hands, tasks, and action models.
Watch it in action. 👇 #LingBot #EmbodiedAI #Robotics

i hate to be the one to say this, but as an asian woman myself, i feel really odd scrolling on x today...
seeing other chinese women play into the "honeypot" jokes for views. i know it's meant to be funny, but to me it just reinforces the racist and sexist stereotypes we already deal with, so let's NOT set us back even further by sexualizing ourselves...

LingBot Touch 🔥 A JEPA based tactile foundation model for robotic manipulation, from Ant Group Robbyant team.
- Tiny + Small
- Apache 2.0
- Unifies 3 tactile modalities: magnetic, piezoresistive & visuotactile
- Shared Transformer for heterogeneous tactile sensors
- Learns contact structure and temporal dynamics
LingBot-Touch is a JEPA-based tactile perception model for dexterous manipulation tasks (applying toothpaste, unlocking a lock).
It works across 3 sensor types and significantly improves accuracy by integrating with robotic control models, from diffusion policies to VLA.

Introducing Ling-3.2-flash, Ant Ling's native multimodal model: 560B total / 25B active parameters.
Stronger complex visual understanding, long-horizon multimodal agents, 3D understanding & interaction, and medical intelligence.
Outscores Opus 5 (max) in release evaluations:
- OmniDocBench1.5: 92.21 vs 90.56
- ZEROBench(Sub): 43.71 vs 39.52
- Vision2Web: 85.86 vs 80.20
As China’s AI industry races to build more powerful models and apps, its companies and users are increasingly giving AI softer, more familiar, and sometimes human-like identities.
This contrasts with Silicon Valley’s AI products. ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude have largely stuck to abstract, geometric logos and stay away from anthropomorphized characters.
I don’t have an answer yet.

"Ant Group's robotics unit Robbyant said it trained a model using 160,000 hours of material, including 50,000 hours of human-guided robot movements. It also trained software on 20 robot configurations from 17 brands, aiming to use the same AI across different machines."

Great story from @lauriechenwords @ParkSuAm1996 on China's robot makers shifting focus from hardware to software that can enable robots to perform valuable physical tasks.

I saw a lot of debate lately about AI’s ROI.
@chamath made a good point on the latest @theallinpod: Corporate managers or directors can easily justify small budgets just to experiment with AI. But once spending reaches X millions, it will involve more stakeholders and ask about ROI.
Take myself as an example, I can happily spend <$100 per month on AI to boost my productivity without making an extra dollar. But beyond that I’d start asking how much money it can actually make me.
My optimistic take is most people haven't even reached the stage of paying to experiment with AI. We're still early in that adoption curve, let alone the stage where ROI becomes the bottleneck.

Ling 3.1 Flash 1019, an open weights model and successor to Ling 3.1 Flash, scores 44 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v4.3, up from 41
@AntLingAGI has released Ling 3.1 Flash 1019, an update to Ling 3.1 Flash, their reasoning model with 560B total parameters, 25B active parameters, and a 1M token context window. It scores 44 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v4.3, up from 41 from Ling 3.1 Flash. Like Ling 3.1 Flash, Ling 3.1 Flash 1019 is open weights.
Key results:
➤ Ling 3.1 Flash 1019’s agentic capabilities improve over Ling 3.1 Flash. On AA-Briefcase v1.1, Ling 3.1 Flash 1019’s Elo is 1521, up 124 points from 1397 for Ling 3.1 Flash. Its Elo on GDPval-AA v2.1 is 1653, up from 1617 for its predecessor, an increase of 36 points. On AutomationBench-AA, Ling 3.1 Flash 1019 scores 68%, a 6 point increase from Ling 3.1 Flash’s score of 62%
➤ Ling 3.1 Flash 1019’s makes gains in scientific reasoning compared to its predecessor. Ling 3.1 Flash 1019 scores 43% on Humanity’s Last Exam, a 4-point improvement from 39% for Ling 3.1 Flash. It scores 26% on CritPt, an 8-point increase from 18%.
➤ Ling 3.1 Flash 1019 uses more output tokens per task than Ling 3.1 Flash. Ling 3.1 Flash 1019 uses 145k Output Tokens per Intelligence Index Task, more than 40% higher than Ling 3.1 Flash’s per task usage of 103k output tokens
➤ At $1.49 Cost per Task, Ling 3.1 Flash 1019 is more expensive than Ling 3.1 Flash but scores higher on intelligence. This is primarily driven by the higher number of output tokens used. However, Ling 3.1 Flash 1019 is still less expensive than models such as Mistral Large 4 Preview and GLM 5.3
Additional model details:
➤ Size: 560B total parameters, 25B active
➤ Context window: 1M tokens
➤ Pricing: $0.30 per 1M input tokens and $0.90 per 1M output tokens, with cached input at $0.06 per 1M (80% discount)
