Singapore AI News & Daily Briefing

Sea Limited, the Singapore-listed company behind Shopee, is rolling out ChatGPT integration across eight Southeast Asian markets. The partnership embeds generative AI tools natively into Shopee's platform, letting local small businesses access AI-powered retail features. An Asia-Pacific developer hackathon series will also launch to build more AI commerce tools.

A new partnership in Singapore aims to build digital trust and AI skills among workers and businesses. The initiative focuses on helping organizations safely adopt AI technologies while developing talent capable of managing AI systems responsibly.

Singapore-founded Simular is testing flat-fee pricing for its AI agent Sai—US$20 monthly for light use instead of charging per task. Sai runs on its own cloud desktop and can work overnight on tasks like processing insurance claims or moving ecommerce data, even after you close your laptop. The company stores code it writes to handle repeated tasks more efficiently, cutting costs. With half its 20 employees in Singapore and a Microsoft partnership, Simular believes cheaper AI agents could make automation viable for businesses outside Silicon Valley.

A Singapore startup called Soma AI launched a platform bundling multiple marketing AI tools—ad analytics, competitor tracking, and strategy advice—into one workspace. Co-founded by a veteran who helped exit AI company Sqreem for hundreds of millions, Soma uses Claude under the hood but adds marketing-specific guardrails and user data context. Unlike generic chatbots, it understands metrics like CPM (lower is actually better—a key distinction that tripped up Claude). Plans start at US$59 monthly, targeting APAC marketers drowning in disconnected martech tools.

IBM has joined OpenAI's cybersecurity program to help businesses find software weaknesses faster. The service uses OpenAI's security tools to identify and validate vulnerabilities inside corporate systems. Enterprise clients can now access AI-powered vulnerability detection through IBM's application security service.

Google has launched Gemini 3.5 Live Translate, an AI model that translates spoken language in real-time across 70+ languages with natural-sounding speech. Unlike older tools that pause between speakers, it flows conversationally. It's rolling out on Google Translate, Google Meet for businesses, and for developers to build their own apps. Singapore's Grab is testing it to help drivers and passengers communicate across language barriers during the 10 million voice calls they handle monthly.

The White House ordered Anthropic to shut down its most powerful AI models (Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5) over national security fears. But security experts say restricting one company won't work—similar capabilities already exist at other firms and will inevitably spread through open-source models. The real question isn't blocking one AI system; it's how governments will handle increasingly powerful AI that can both defend and attack computer systems.

Omio, a European travel platform covering 47 countries and 3,000+ transport providers, has gone all-in on AI. Every engineer now uses AI coding tools throughout the development process. The result? Building products now takes roughly 20% of the time it used to. One developer can now do what previously took a team multiple quarters. The company calls this becoming "AI-native"—not just adding AI tools, but rethinking how work gets done entirely.

GPT-5 Pro helped an immunologist crack a 3-year puzzle about how sugar affects immune cell development. The AI spotted that a molecule called deoxyglucose blocks a protein that prevents inflammation in T cells—something human researchers missed. It also accurately predicted outcomes of cancer-cell experiments before they were published. This shows AI is becoming a genuine scientific collaborator, not just a search tool.

Oracle cut 21,000 jobs (about 13% of its workforce) while simultaneously borrowing tens of billions to build AI data centers. The company openly admitted AI adoption contributed to the layoffs. Investors are nervous because Oracle has over $120 billion in debt and relies heavily on unprofitable customer OpenAI. This is one of the clearest examples of AI driving job losses at a major tech firm—even as companies rake in AI investment cash.

Google DeepMind tested its LearnLM AI tutoring tool in Sierra Leone schools and found students made 1.2 to 2.5 years of math learning progress in just eight weeks. The AI acts as a Socratic tutor, asking questions rather than giving direct answers to keep students thinking. Teachers remained central to learning while using the AI to support lesson delivery. Importantly, 91% of student-AI conversations focused on building understanding rather than seeking quick answers.

OpenAI helped launch the Appia Foundation, a new organization under the Linux Foundation that aims to create open, shared standards for evaluating advanced AI systems across different countries and companies. The goal is to help governments trust each other's AI safety assessments and work together on regulation. OpenAI is also sharing its playbook for third-party AI evaluations and partnerships with US and UK safety institutes.

Google DeepMind is partnering with the UK government to build an AI tool that could cut the time to approve house planning applications in half. The system acts as a digital assistant for planning officers, handling the heavy lifting of paperwork review so councils can process more applications faster. With the UK aiming to build 1.5 million homes by 2029, this AI could help ease the housing crunch by reducing bureaucratic bottlenecks.

Researchers trained AI to automatically track how glaciers are melting using satellite images. With just one labeled image per glacier plus summer reference photos, the system achieved accuracy comparable to human experts—cutting error from over a kilometer down to about 70 meters. The tool has already been used to analyze nine years of monthly data for 145 glaciers in Norway's Svalbard archipelago, work that would have taken years manually.

Google DeepMind launched a three-month accelerator program supporting 15 European robotics startups using AI. These companies are building robots for healthcare, construction, waste sorting, ocean monitoring, and even brain surgery. Google provides mentorship and access to its AI technology to help turn research into real-world robots.

AMD quietly removed a memory encryption feature from its consumer Ryzen CPUs without telling users, then reversed the decision after massive backlash. The feature, called TSME, protects against physical attacks where someone steals data directly from computer memory chips. While these attacks are rare for regular users, AMD had offered this protection for about a decade, making the silent removal feel like a bait-and-switch to push buyers toward costlier Pro chips. AMD will restore the option in a July firmware update.

Indian factory workers are being asked to wear head cameras at work to record their movements — and that footage is sold to companies like Tesla to train robots. Workers earn around $200 a month but get nothing extra for creating this valuable data, which could one day replace them. In some cases, companies also use the footage to monitor worker productivity and rank them. Researchers are raising alarm over consent, privacy, and whether these workers have any real choice.

Nearly 60% of videos served to new TikTok users are AI-generated junk, according to video platform Kapwing. YouTube isn't immune either — about 21% of its videos show similar signs. The problem is worst for kids: 97 out of 100 videos in the #CartoonKids category are AI slop. If you've been wondering why your feed feels off, now you know.

Lazada has cut about 5% of its workforce across Southeast Asia, including roles in Singapore. The e-commerce firm says this is not related to AI adoption but rather a review of business efficiency. In Singapore, Lazada is working with the Food, Drinks and Allied Workers Union to support affected employees. This follows Shopee's layoffs earlier this month.

Oracle has cut 21,000 jobs—about 13% of its workforce—in the past year as it pivots heavily toward AI infrastructure. The company now has around 141,000 employees, down from 162,000. Oracle explicitly links the cuts to 'the deployment of AI technologies,' and spent $1.8 billion on severance. The firm is racing to build data centres for AI giants like OpenAI and Meta, planning to spend at least $50 billion this year. Amazon and Meta have made similar mass cuts as part of their own AI investment drives.

The US government is siding with Elon Musk's xAI in a legal battle over its Memphis data center, arguing the facility is essential for national security. The data center powers Grok AI, which the military used to coordinate 2,000 weapons deployments to 2,000 targets in 96 hours during recent Middle East strikes. The twist: the NAACP sued xAI over pollution violations affecting Black communities. Now the government says shutting it down could endanger national security.

K25.ai, a Singapore-based prediction market startup, has raised US$10 million in pre-series A funding at a US$100 million valuation. The firm wants to let users bet on real-world events — from elections to pop culture — but brands itself as an 'information market' to dodge gambling restrictions. Prediction markets like Polymarket are banned or blocked in Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines. K25.ai is betting that framing itself differently will let it operate where competitors cannot. Over 40,000 users are already on its waitlist.

Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) significantly outpaces Toyota's Lane Tracing Assist in real-world tests, according to a week-long review. While Toyota's system can handle highway driving with hands on the wheel, Tesla's FSD essentially drives itself on freeways and city streets, though drivers must still supervise. Toyota's bZ shines on price and range (up to 314 miles for the 2026 model), making it a solid choice for first-time EV buyers who don't need advanced driver assist. Tesla's FSD wins on capability but raises concerns about driver complacency.

Samsung is reviewing long-term supply deals for its high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips with major AI chipmakers including Nvidia, AMD, and Google. The company already signed some long-term agreements and began mass-producing HBM4 in February. With AI demand surging, Samsung is locking in customers to strengthen business stability and better manage demand for these critical AI memory components.

ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, is reportedly planning to build its own AI chip by early 2027 and spending heavily on AI infrastructure in China in 2026. This adds another major tech company to the growing list of firms designing their own AI chips rather than relying on Nvidia.

TechInAsia's premium list of Asia's most active AI investors. The actual investor names and data are behind a paywall, but the article tracks which firms have backed the most AI startups in Asia over the past 12 months.

Gojek co-founder Kevin Aluwi, now a venture partner at VC firm Lightspeed, says Southeast Asia's AI bottleneck isn't access to powerful chips—it's getting people to actually use AI products at scale. He believes an AI-native version of Gojek would run on much leaner teams, with company data organized so AI can assist in decision-making. The bigger challenge is driving adoption, not building the technology.

Singapore-based AI startup Akro AI has raised a $700,000 pre-seed round. This is early-stage funding that will likely go toward product development and team building.

AI company Anthropic is urging US Congress not to block state AI regulations, arguing that federal safety rules should come first. The company wants mandatory safety testing for the most powerful AI models and independent evaluations of frontier AI systems. Anthropic also called for modernizing unemployment systems to handle potential AI-driven job losses.

Tiiny AI has launched the Pocket Lab, a Guinness World Records-verified device claimed to be the world's smallest personal AI supercomputer. It runs large AI models (up to 120 billion parameters) entirely offline using an ARM processor, 80GB memory, and 1TB storage, at just 65W. No independent speed tests exist yet, making real-world performance hard to verify. The device targets developers and researchers needing privacy-focused, on-device AI processing.

Samsung Electro-Mechanics is planning to expand its advanced chip packaging production for AI servers, targeting full capacity by H2 2026. The company supplies key components like flip-chip ball grid array (FC-BGA) substrates used in AI processors. It's also exploring deals to supply camera modules and packaging for humanoid robot makers. The AI chip packaging market is growing at about 14% annually, with AI servers now driving 60-70% of demand. While Samsung has invested heavily in Korean and Vietnamese facilities, no Singapore operations are mentioned.

Apple has raised prices on iPads and MacBooks because memory and storage components have become too expensive to absorb. The 512GB MacBook Air jumped from $1,099 to $1,299, while the MacBook Pro 1TB rose from $1,699 to $1,999. Apple says it held off as long as possible but the AI infrastructure boom has driven up demand for memory chips. For consumers, this means higher costs for essential work and school devices, though iPhones were spared this round.

Singapore-based artificial intelligence (AI) firm [Akro](https://www.akro.ai/) has on Tuesday announced a $700,000 Pre-Seed funding round led by Amigos Venture Capital. The round also saw participation from strategic angel investors across financial services, healthcare and consumer technology, to automate data workflows in regulated industries, Akro said in a statement. “In regulated industries, information is fragmented, documents are inconsistent and mistakes carry real consequences. That’s why organizations still rely on armies of people to process information manually, “This funding will go towards expanding our engineering team to accelerate product development and purchasing more AI hardware to deepen our research efforts,” said Marcus Quek, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of

India's AI ambitions may be held back not by lack of talent or funding, but by insufficient digital infrastructure. Data centers take years to build, but AI demand is rising fast. The article argues modular, prefabricated data centers could be the solution, with the sector projected to grow from $1.19 billion to nearly $3.9 billion by 2032. Energy consumption and sustainability are also flagged as critical challenges.

Singapore AI startup Akro has raised $700,000 in pre-seed funding led by Amigos Venture Capital to automate document processing in regulated industries like defense, finance, and logistics. Its AI reads scanned documents and messy handwriting more accurately than general AI models, running faster at lower cost with full data privacy. Within its first year, Akro went from prototype to production deployments with government and enterprise clients, scaling from 2 to 8 people. It has also partnered with Swiss firm ti&m to expand across Asia Pacific and Europe.

Meituan has launched an AI agent called Xiaomei that lets users order food and book restaurants using voice commands, with meal recommendations included. Built on Meituan's LongCat AI model, the app targets China's massive food delivery market where Meituan competes fiercely with Alibaba's Ele.me and JD.com. The launch comes as all three companies recently pledged to avoid price wars following regulatory warnings. AI voice ordering technology has already proven commercially viable elsewhere—Chipotle deployed it across 1,800 U.S. locations by 2019 and industry studies showed such systems can reduce order-taking labor costs by up to 25%.

Chinese food-delivery giant Meituan has open-sourced LongCat-2.0, a large AI model built on China-only tech stacks and aimed at coding tasks. This is part of Meituan's push to develop its own foundation models rather than relying on Western AI infrastructure. The release puts Meituan in the company of Chinese tech firms like ByteDance and Alibaba building homegrown AI capabilities amid US chip restrictions.

Neura Robotics, a German startup, raised up to US$1.4 billion in Series C funding backed by Nvidia, Amazon, Qualcomm, and others, valuing the company at about US$7 billion. The funding will accelerate development of its 4NE1 humanoid robot for industrial and everyday assistance. Neura also makes collaborative robots and logistics systems. The robotics sector has attracted US$55.8 billion in 2026 alone—nearly double the previous annual record—as AI increasingly moves into physical systems.

China's UBTech Robotics plans to scale humanoid robot production tenfold to 5,000 units next year, then double to 10,000 in 2027. The company expects production costs to drop 20-30% annually through supply chain scale. UBTech has secured over 800 million yuan (US$112 million) in orders for its Walker S2 humanoid robots, targeting data centers and automotive manufacturers. The Walker S2 costs $80,000, but the company aims to reach a $14,000 build target as volumes increase.

The U.S. Commerce Department is lifting export controls on Anthropic's Fable 5 AI model, just weeks after banning access over national security concerns. The reversal comes after Anthropic disabled both its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models in June. The Mythos 5 model was already partially restored to trusted U.S. organizations. The quick flip highlights how the government is still figuring out how to balance AI export risks against keeping American AI companies globally competitive.

Apple is pushing out early software updates to fix AI-related cybersecurity vulnerabilities as AI features become more deeply integrated into iPhones, iPads, and Macs. The move signals that AI capabilities are creating new security risks—things like sophisticated phishing attacks, data extraction from AI assistants, and new ways for hackers to exploit smart features. Users should update their devices promptly when these patches arrive.

The Luca Guadagnino-directed film 'Artificial,' a dramatization of Sam Altman and OpenAI's dramatic 2023 boardroom saga starring Andrew Garfield, has found a new distributor after Amazon MGM suddenly dropped it. The $40 million production was acquired by indie studio Neon, known for Oscar-winning films like 'Parasite.' Amazon had backed the project before signing a massive $50 billion deal with OpenAI, then quietly shelved the film.

A Singapore-based startup called Acti has launched a new smartphone keyboard that embeds AI agents directly into your typing interface. Instead of switching between apps to get AI help, Acti can instantly pull up restaurant recommendations, share live stock prices, or translate messages right inside your chat. The keyboard uses Google Gemini AI and lets users create custom 'Skills' — simple shortcuts triggered by keys that automate multi-step tasks without coding. Acti just raised $5.3 million in seed funding from BITKRAFT Ventures, and users have already built over 1,000 custom Skills during early testing.

Google's NotebookLM now lets you create short TikTok-style vertical video clips from your uploaded research sources. The feature is rolling out to Google AI Ultra and Pro subscribers, generating 60-second AI-created summaries you can share easily. This makes it simpler to digest long documents or share key takeaways with others in a format designed for mobile viewing.

Anthropic released Claude Science, a new AI workbench built for researchers. It comes with 60+ ready-made tools for fields like genomics and chemistry, plus an automatic citation and calculation checker. Labs can run it on their own computers, so sensitive research data never leaves their network. This means scientists can offload tedious verification tasks and focus on actual discovery work.

The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has warned that financing behind Asia's AI infrastructure boom is opaque and heavily debt-dependent, leaving the region exposed if the buildout slows. Hyperscaler capital expenditure has exceeded US$1 trillion, while private credit lending to AI reached US$40 billion on barely disclosed contracts. Asia's data center hosts sit downstream of any pullback in AI spending. The BIS report highlights risks as companies race to build AI infrastructure without clear visibility into who holds the financial exposure.

Huawei says its Ascend supernode powered by Ascend 950 AI chips will fully support DeepSeek's V4 model, which the Chinese AI startup claims can compete with OpenAI and Google DeepMind. The launch includes V4-pro and V4-flash versions with a 1 million token context window at lower cost. DeepSeek reportedly spent months rewriting core code to run on Huawei hardware after U.S. chip restrictions limited access to Western technology. Major Chinese companies like Alibaba, ByteDance, and Tencent have also placed bulk orders for Huawei's Ascend chips, signaling a broader shift toward domestic AI computing in China.

Alibaba Cloud has launched a new public cloud region in Johor, Malaysia, with two data centers to boost cloud and AI capacity in the country. The move is part of Alibaba's previously announced US$53 billion AI and cloud infrastructure investment. The new Johor hub adds to Alibaba's existing Kuala Lumpur region and brings its global footprint to 104 availability zones across 32 regions. The company also plans to introduce agentic AI services in Malaysia in the second half of this year. Johor is becoming a major data center hub with 15 operational centers, though water constraints could limit future cooling expansions.

Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix announced a combined $2.07 trillion investment to double South Korea's memory chip production capacity within five years, backed by government fast-tracked approvals. The investments target HBM chips essential for AI processors, as demand from tech companies like Apple surges. However, analysts warn that chip plants take years to build, creating oversupply risks if AI spending cools—echoing painful boom-and-bust cycles from the past.

Chinese AI lab DeepSeek unveiled DSpark, a framework that boosts AI response speeds by 60-85% by using a smaller model to pre-select token candidates for a larger model to verify in batches. This technique squeezes more performance from fewer chips, potentially reducing China's need for US-made hardware as Washington tightens export controls on advanced semiconductors.

Singapore food delivery startup WhyQ has finally turned profitable after nearly a decade of pivots—from hawker-to-office delivery to pandemic-era residential gig work, and now B2B corporate dining. The company now delivers over 2,500 corporate meals daily, white-labelling its platform for client companies. It also has a nutrition tracking AI tool called WhyQ Intelligence in the works.

Anthropic's Claude AI models are now generally available on Microsoft Foundry, running on Azure cloud infrastructure with NVIDIA GB300 support. Enterprises can deploy Claude using their existing Microsoft authentication, billing, and governance systems, making it easier for organizations already in the Microsoft ecosystem to access Claude.

Taiwanese authorities have raided the offices of Super Micro Computer and several local partner companies as part of an investigation into alleged smuggling of Nvidia AI chips to China. This comes amid ongoing US efforts to restrict China's access to advanced AI semiconductors through export controls.

Tata Communications is spending $152 million to lay new undersea cables between India and Singapore, adding nearly 100 terabits per second of capacity for AI workloads. This route already carries over a third of global internet traffic. Faster, more reliable cables will help businesses run AI applications and cloud services across Asia.

NVIDIA plans to upgrade its Vietnam research centre in Hanoi into a world-class AI engineering hub for its global operations. The move strengthens NVIDIA's presence in Southeast Asia and could create more AI development opportunities across the region.

Tech investors warn that cheap Chinese AI models backed by government support, like DeepSeek, are forcing Western AI companies to cut prices. Mid-tier AI vendors who can't compete on cost or capability may get squeezed out. Companies will soon need to prove their AI spending actually generates returns, shifting focus from experimentation to measurable business results.

China's Agibot deployed humanoid robots on a live factory production line for six days straight, completing over 60,000 tasks with a 99.99% success rate. The robots worked alongside human workers at Longcheer Technology's factory in Nanchang, handling quality inspections and material handling. Agibot has now built over 15,000 robots and analysts at Barclays forecast China could deploy 11 million humanoid robots by 2035 — far outpacing the rest of the world. This marks a shift from lab demos to real-world deployment, testing whether embodied AI can create actual commercial value in manufacturing.

Nearly 1 in 5 teens are now in or know someone in a romantic relationship with an AI chatbot, according to US and UK surveys. Researchers from Arizona State University warn this could prevent teenagers from developing critical relationship skills like conflict resolution, emotional regulation, and boundary-setting — skills typically learned through real human interactions. Over half of surveyed boys said AI relationships felt easier because they control the conversation, while a third preferred AI chatbots to family and friends. Experts fear teens may develop unrealistic expectations about relationships, potentially increasing vulnerability to mental health issues.

Japan has revised its national AI plan every six months to keep pace with rapid AI development, exposing a governance gap across the Asia-Pacific region. The commentary warns that businesses racing to deploy AI are leaving security basics behind — specifically, privileged access controls and identity verification. Without 'zero-trust' architecture (assuming nothing is safe by default), a compromised AI system could give attackers access to an entire corporate network. The bottom line for everyday users: as AI gets integrated into more services, the security of those systems matters directly to the safety of your personal data.

Drone light shows are replacing traditional fireworks across American towns this July 4th, and they're secretly one of the most impressive displays of real-world AI coordination you can watch. Behind the pretty eagle shapes and waving flags, hundreds of drones are executing pre-planned flight paths with centimeter-level precision, compensating for wind and battery drain in real time. The shift matters because fireworks are one-time chemistry, while drones are reprogrammable 'pixels with propellers' that factories, ports, and hospitals are starting to use for the same underlying challenge: getting machines to coordinate safely in shared physical space.

The Bank of England's deputy governor says AI systems that act on their own—without humans approving every step—may need entirely new rules. Current regulations assumed humans would stay in control of all decisions, but that's becoming unrealistic as AI gets more capable. Global financial watchdogs are now pushing for tighter safeguards as AI spreads across banking.
