Robert Way/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Alibaba ( BABA ) released its new agentic AI-focused model called Qwen3.6-Plus. The Chinese tech giant said it has "drastically enhanced the model's agentic coding capabilities." The company noted that from front-end web development to complex, repository-level problem solving, Qwen3.6-Plus sets a new state-of-the-art standard. The new model is available through the company's Application Programming Interface, or API, via Alibaba Cloud Model Studio. Alibaba noted that Qwen3.6-Plus can be seamlessly integrated into popular third-party coding assistants, including OpenClaw, Claude Code, and Qwen Code, to streamline development workflows. The company added that Qwen3.6-Plus perceives the world with greater accuracy and sharper multimodal reasoning. "By directly addressing community feedback from the Qwen3.5-Plus deployment, this release offers a highly stable and reliable foundation for the developer ecosystem, delivering a truly transformative 'vibe coding' experience," the company noted. Alibaba said that the model delivers substantial breakthroughs in complex document understanding, physical world visual analysis, video reasoning, and visual coding. The model now excels at integrating cross-modal information to perform sophisticated analysis and decision-making. The company had released the Qwen3.5 series in February. Alibaba's AI models face tough competition in the Chinese market from models built by companies such as ByteDance ( BDNCE ), Baidu ( BIDU ), and DeepSeek ( DEEPSEEK ). Shares of Alibaba dipped about 2% premarket on Thursday.

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is taking an equity stake in IM8, co-founded by health-sciences firm Prenetics and former footballer David Beckham . IM8 sells nutritional supplements that aim at improving daily health routines. The company launched in December 2024 and says it reached $100 million in annualized revenue in 11 months. “I can open doors in markets and communities that IM8 might not reach on their own,” Antetokounmpo said. “But more than being a face, I want to be a voice inside the company too — asking the questions consumers would ask, making sure the product stays at the level it needs to be.” The financial details of the deal were not disclosed. Antetokounmpo’s investment continues a trend of athletes backing health companies. For example, last year, tennis star Serena Williams became both an investor and a celebrity ambassador for the weight loss company Ro . Other celebrity ambassadors for Ro include Tom Brady and former NBA player Charles Barkley. IM8 aims to become a major global supplement brand within the next three to five years, according to CEO and co-founder Danny Yeung in a phone interview. IM8’s athlete endorsements include the world’s top-ranked women’s tennis player, Aryna Sabalenka, and British F1 driver Ollie Bearman. Throughout his 13-year career, Antetokounmpo has earned $338 million, making him the 14th highest-paid player in NBA history, per Spotrac data. Beyond the court, he is a highly popular figure with over 35 million social media followers and has secured brand partnerships with major companies including Nike, Whatsapp, Google Pixel, JBL, and T-Mobile. Late last year amid falling crypto prices, Prenetics paused its strategy of buying Bitcoin for its corporate treasury, and concentrate its efforts on IM8. Prenetics’s launched its Bitcoin accumulation strategy in June, following a model pioneered by Michael Saylor’s Strategy Inc. Such digital-asset treasury firms, or DATs, raise capital to buy cryptocurrencies, a b...

Last April, the president unleashed a tidal wave of tariffs on ‘liberation day’. Analysts say the policy has failed, even by the Trump administration’s own terms Before Donald Trump declared “ liberation day ” on 2 April 2025 and shocked the world by raising import tariffs on nearly every country the US did business with, he had spent almost three months causing chaos in Washington. The wholesale slashing of government jobs under Doge (the “department of government efficiency”) and the defunding of US aid agencies had shown White House watchers that the US president was in a hurry to upset institutions he considered profligate or useless.

The supreme court appears poised to reject Trump’s attack on a foundation of US identity.

The supreme court appears poised to reject Trump’s attack on a foundation of US identity. We must hope it follows through American opponents of birthright citizenship – the right of all those born on the soil of a country to claim full legal rights and political representation in that nation – like to point out that many countries don’t have it. On Wednesday at the supreme court, during the oral arguments in Trump v Barbara, the case challenging Donald Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship in the United States by executive order, the Trump administration’s solicitor general, John Sauer, claimed that “ almost every country ” denies birthright citizenship. Trump himself made the unusual choice to attend the oral arguments in person, signaling his investment in the issue and perhaps hoping that his presence would intimidate the justices into ruling in his favor. But he left soon after Cecillia Wang, a lawyer for the ACLU who represented his opponents in court, began speaking. Not long after he left the supreme court building, Trump used Truth Social , his proprietary social media platform, to echo the rightwing argument about the supposed rarity of birthright citizenship worldwide. “We are the only Country in the World STUPID enough to allow ‘Birthright’ Citizenship! President DONALD J. TRUMP” he posted. This is not true. The United States’ birthright citizenship – which was originally established in very plain, explicit terms in the 14th amendment, and has been reaffirmed twice by Congress and by more than a century of supreme court precedent – is typical of the Americas. In the western hemisphere, only a handful of countries deny automatic full citizenship to infants born within their borders. They are contrasted with the rest of North and South America, where the legacy of slavery led most states to adopt birthright citizenship. Moira Donegan is a Guardian US columnist Continue reading...

Regime has long used the death penalty to suppress dissent but now appears to be withholding information on the killing of hundreds of prisoners, say rights groups It has been almost three months since Peyvand Naimi, 30, was arrested in connection with the mass street protests that spread across Iran in January before being brutally suppressed . Since then, he has been detained for more than a month in solitary confinement, appeared in a televised forced confession, and has undergone two mock hangings, beatings, interrogation, psychological torture and starvation. He has been accused of involvement in the deaths of security agents during the protests and of celebrating the death of Iran’s former supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, but his family insist he has done nothing wrong and that no formal charges have been made. He has been denied access to a lawyer; his relatives fear he now faces execution. Continue reading...

Exclusive: Pressure intensifies for Gabbard after president’s displeasure with Iran war testimony Donald Trump has privately asked cabinet officials in recent weeks whether he should replace his director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard , venting frustration that she shielded a former deputy who undercut his rationale for war with Iran, according to two people briefed on the discussions. It is not clear that Trump will actually fire Gabbard over the episode. Currently, there is no standout candidate to take the job, and advisers have cautioned that creating a high-profile vacancy before a successor is ready could cause unhelpful political distractions.
