Faraday Future and its robotics subsidiary FF EAI Robotics Ecosystem Inc. reported that their OmniMind embodied AI model reached No. 1 on RoboColiseum's global simulation leaderboard as of November 6. The model scored 0.8698 out of 1, outperforming entries from NVIDIA, GPT, Claude, and others. OmniMind uses a layered architecture that breaks tasks into steps and earned high marks in instruction following, spatial reasoning, and robustness.
The company also disclosed sales contracts with several North American security and inspection robotics integrators and distributors. Faraday Future scheduled its first earnings call since listing for November 12 at 4 p.m. Pacific Time, covering the third quarter of 2026. The ranking completes Phase One of its Built in USA program.
Separately, Taiwan's TIER think tank said Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's ongoing investigation is unlikely to disrupt the island's AI supply chain. Chang Chien-yi noted that many orders for the first half of 2027 have already been placed. Huang admitted to an extramarital affair and apologized, while Nvidia's board conducts an investigation with independent directors. Some U.S. lawmakers have also asked Huang to address whether AI chips were shipped to China.
On the investment front, Martin Schulz of Federated Hermes described AI as an existential competition between China and the U.S. He believes the AI buildout will continue despite midterm election results and a recent market sell-off. A separate report noted the AI capital investment boom is still in early days and recommended diversifying across public equity, venture capital, private credit, and infrastructure for long-term growth.
Amazon's AWS Quick launched its first brand campaign in the U.S. and U.K., promoting an AI workspace built specifically for professional teams. Companies like 3M, BMW, and Southwest Airlines already use Quick. The tool integrates with existing security tools and holds certifications including HIPAA and SOC 2. AWS Quick has no consumer version and focuses entirely on enterprise needs.
In cybersecurity, Thai Duong, founder of Calif, warned that AI will help attackers more than defenders for the next six to twelve months. He pointed to neo-cloud providers with unhardened networks and said detection systems fail when AI floods networks with many concurrent agents. His team achieved a public first by hacking an iPhone in two to three weeks. Palo Alto Networks is in talks to acquire Clutch Security for $500 million, its seventh acquisition this year, as it responds to AI-driven cyberattacks.
Cedars-Sinai released three free, open-access software packages for agentic AI research: ASAREE, Memstara, and GENASYS. The tools help design experiments, generate hypotheses, and fine-tune AI workflows. Meanwhile, Grok Bot can now call businesses, navigate phone menus, and negotiate bills for paying subscribers, with 800,000 paid weekly users in early October. Users remain legally responsible for all calls made through the service.
For those running AI models locally, a PC with 16GB of RAM can handle smaller models like Meta's Llama 3.1 8B or Alibaba's Qwen3 8B. More powerful models require at least 32GB of memory and a graphics card with 16GB or more VRAM. Nvidia's RTX 5090 can reach 205 tokens per second in testing, with speed depending more on memory bandwidth than raw processing power.
