At the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (July 17–20, 2026), Qianjue Robotics unveiled a VTLA (vision-tactile-language-action) embodied tactile model, a vision–tactile multimodal dataset, core data-acquisition equipment and a tactile-sensor hardware matrix. Qianjue says VTLA integrates visual and tactile perception unlike traditional vision-only VLA models, enabling robots to capture physical object properties inaccessible to single-camera systems and materially improving recognition dimensions and detection accuracy.

Sunrate and Mastercard released a white paper at WAIC titled Beyond Automation: Defining Agent‑Driven Global Payments, outlining how AI agents could reshape the end‑to‑end B2B cross‑border payments chain. The report says corporate finance today still manually verifies overseas supplier accounts, matches contracts and invoices, selects FX timing and bears T+2‑plus settlement delays. It argues AI agents can automatically extract multi‑format documents, match purchase orders, recommend optimal payment routes and FX windows to corporate needs, perform compliance pre‑screening and trigger payments within authorised limits, then automate reconciliation and exception flagging — freeing finance teams from low‑value operational tasks.

【B2B行业首份AI智能体全球支付白皮书发布】7月18日讯，寻汇Sunrate与万事达卡在WAIC现场联合发布白皮书《超越自动化：定义智能体驱动的全球支付》。该报告系统阐述了“AI智能体”如何重塑B2B跨境支付全链路。传统模式下，企业财务需人工核验海外供应商账户、比对合同发票、择汇并承担T+2以上结算滞后期。该报告指出，AI智能体可自动提取多格式票据、匹配采购订单、基于企业需求推荐最优支付路由与换汇窗口、经合规预审后在授权额度触发支付，并自动完成后续对账与异常标记，将财务人员从低附加值操作中解放。

CNN, citing sources and reviewed documents, reports the Trump administration has tentatively agreed to allow Saudi Arabia to carry out uranium enrichment and not to implement international safeguards designed to prevent weapons development. Negotiations concluded in October 2025, but a draft nuclear agreement to support Riyadh’s civilian program remains unsigned and awaits Trump’s signature. Two sources said the current war with Iran — which Trump has said was partly intended to stop Tehran using enriched uranium to build weapons — has contributed to the administration’s decision to delay signing. One source added some on Capitol Hill believe the delay reflects concern a likely bipartisan resolution of disapproval could block the deal. Experts warn the accord, absent strict safeguards, could provide Saudi Arabia a pathway to nuclear weapons.

【美媒：一项允许沙特进行铀浓缩的核协议悬而未决，尚待特朗普政府批准】7月18日讯，据CNN报道，据消息人士及CNN查阅的文件显示，特朗普政府已初步同意允许沙特阿拉伯进行铀浓缩活动，且不实施旨在防止其研发核武器的国际保障监督措施。尽管美沙谈判已于2025年10月结束，但美国支持利雅得民用核计划的核协议草案仍等待特朗普的签署。两名消息人士称，目前与伊朗的战争——据特朗普称，发动这场战争的部分原因是为了阻止德黑兰利用其浓缩铀制造核武器——在一定程度上导致了特朗普推迟签字。其中一位消息人士还指出，国会山的一些人认为，特朗普政府之所以推迟签署，是因为可能会面临一项两党共同提出的反对决议，从而阻碍交易生效。有专家表示，除非采取严格的保障措施，否则该协议可能会为沙特提供一条通向核武器的道路。

SASAC deputy director Pang Xiaogang said at WAIC 2026 central state‑owned enterprises must accelerate R&D on foundational models and algorithms, physical AI, intelligent‑computing chips and quantum communications, and insist on a 'national model, national chip, national deployment' to build an autonomous software‑and‑hardware stack. SASAC said it has deepened an AI+ campaign with targeted support policies and three years of tiered talent training, pushed SOEs to develop more than 1,200 open industry scenarios, adapted systems to a full range of domestic chips and brought five 10,000‑accelerator‑card compute clusters into production. It called for increased investment to expand self‑built and managed compute capacity, improve cross‑domain heterogeneous scheduling, accelerate compute collaboration and green‑power direct connections, and supply inclusive compute services externally.
