Food-safety experts warned that plans to shutter a US Department of Agriculture research facility will hinder efforts to protect consumers from the foodborne cyclospora parasite — a risk that’s underscored by the outbreak that’s spreading across the country. The agency is in the process of closing the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center just north of Washington, DC, and relocating its programs to facilities across the country under a restructuring plan announced last year. The center has two laboratories that play a significant role in investigating cyclospora as well as coordinating research with other federal agencies.

Chinese AI pioneer Moonshot unveiled a new model that it claims performs on par with some of the top-tier platforms from OpenAI and Anthropic PBC, the latest sign that the Asian country’s artificial intelligence labs are closing a technology gap with the US.
Moonshot released Kimi K3 Friday, touting benchmarks comparable to some of the US labs’ best offerings. The model is open weight, meaning its parameters are available for users to download and customize, and outperforms all rivals except Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5 and OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 on overall capability, it said.
Moonshot’s latest platform underscores how rapidly China’s AI race is evolving beyond a competition on price alone. Moonshot priced Kimi K3 at roughly Anthropic Sonnet levels, showing the company believes it can charge a premium to other Chinese models given its capabilities.

Netflix forecast a second consecutive quarter of slowing sales growth, feeding investor anxiety about the streaming giant’s future.

The company projected revenue of $12.9 billion in the current quarter and earnings of 82 cents a share, both a little shy of analysts’ expectations. The shares fell as much as 9% in after-hours trading.Second-quarter results were in line with Wall Street’s consensus, but most of the attention has been on future performance.

Shares in Netflix have declined more than 40% over the last year, as the company’s pursuit of Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. and subsequent financial results have caused investors to worry that the leader in streaming has lost momentum.
