Facts and sources ·《本週 AI 四件事 The Week in AI》 (Lemo AI News, week 42)
Checked on 2026-10-21 (each source below was checked page by page; wherever a primary source could be found it was added; event details reported by a single source only are kept off screen and out of the voice-over).
Before the last render, the table below was compared item by item against vo/lines.json (Chinese voice-over) and the STRAP / ROWS / CUES and per-shot on-screen text in main.js. A line-by-line check of the voice-over is at the end.
Grades: primary = a page of the subject of the event itself, or exchange data; reliable media = a bylined news report; snippet = only a search snippet could be read (page 403 / timed out), used only as corroboration, never on its own to support a number on screen.
On-screen text and voice-over are Chinese; they are quoted as they appear, with an English gloss.
① Google opens Gemini 4 Argon to all developers
| # | Claim in the film (on screen / voice-over) | Source | Source wording | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| G1 | Generally available (GA) on 13 October, model ID gemini-4-argon; "谷歌向全部開發者開放 Gemini 4 Argon" (Google opens Gemini 4 Argon to all developers) |
Gemini API changelog https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/changelog | "October 13, 2026 — Gemini 4 Argon (gemini-4-argon) generally available (GA): Released Gemini 4 Argon (gemini-4-argon), our most capable model built for complex coding, agentic, math, and science tasks." | Primary |
| G2 | Introductory price $2 input, $10 output per million tokens | blog.google, "Gemini 4 Argon" (2026-09-30, Koray Kavukcuoglu) https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/models-and-research/gemini-models/gemini-4-argon/ | "Argon will launch at an introductory price of $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, with cached input tokens priced at 95% off input token price." | Primary |

| G4 | Introductory price "至 30 NOV" (until 30 NOV), then "FROM 1 DEC" | Gemini API · latest model https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/latest-model | "Gemini 4 Argon is available at introductory pricing through November 30, 2026: Input tokens: $2.00 per 1M tokens ($4.00 starting December 1, 2026)" | Primary |
| — | Not reported | — | The 9-30 blog post was at the time a release only to cyber defenders in the Fairwind programme ("rolling out to a set of trusted cyber defenders through our Fairwind Program"), so the film does not say it "launched" on 9-30; the benchmark scores are self-reported by Google and not used | — |
② South Korea's Kospi falls into a bear market, chip stocks lead the drop
| # | Claim in the film | Source | Source wording | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| K1 | −7.57% in one day on 15 October, close 5,554.22 | Korea Herald (Im Eun-byel, 2026-10-15) https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10904070 | "The benchmark Kospi tumbled 7.57 percent to close at 5,554.22, extending losses throughout the session after opening 5.59 percent lower." | Reliable media; agrees with the K5 data (5,554.22 ÷ 6,008.81 − 1 = −7.565 %) |
| K2 | Seven straight losing sessions (chart days 1–7, the "連跌 7 日" (7 days down in a row) badge, the readout panel) | Korea Times (2026-10-16) https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/economy/20261016/samsung-sk-hynix-sell-off-excessive-as-memory-outlook-stays-strong-analysts | "as KOSPI rebounded 2.05 percent, snapping a seven-session losing streak"; "over seven consecutive trading sessions starting Oct. 6" | Reliable media; K5 data: seven down closes on 10-06, 07, 08, 12, 13, 14, 15 (market closed 10-09) |
| K3 | "進入熊市 BEAR MARKET" (into a bear market) | Bloomberg (2026-10-15) "Kospi Drops 8% as Samsung, SK Hynix Shares Plunge on AI and Rate Fears" https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-10-15/chip-stocks-deepen-losses-as-concerns-mount-over-rates-ai-debt | Snippet: "dragged South Korea's equity benchmark down nearly 8% to push it into a bear market"; "fallen about 21% from its September high" | Snippet (article body 403); the measure is confirmed from the K5 data: down 21.56 % from the 23 September closing high of 7,080.92 |
| K4 | Bear-market line = −20 % from the September high; readout panel "較 9 月高點 −21.56%" (−21.56% from the September high); peak label "PEAK 7,080.92" | Computed from K5 | 5,554.22 ÷ 7,080.92 − 1 = −21.56 %; the −20 % line = 5,664.74 | Primary data + our arithmetic. Caution on the measure: in the same Naver Finance daily series (https://api.stock.naver.com/chart/domestic/index/KOSPI?periodType=dayCandle, read for 8 May – 20 Oct 2026; not used in the film) the highest close was 9,114.55 on 22 June; measured from that close it had already fallen more than 20 % by 8 July (7,246.79). "Into a bear market" is Bloomberg's statement measured from the September high, and the film's axis says so: "距 9 月高點 FROM SEPTEMBER HIGH" |
| K5 | Chart: the actual close of every trading day from 15 September to 15 October | Korea Exchange index data via the Naver Finance API https://api.stock.naver.com/chart/domestic/index/KOSPI?periodType=dayCandle (the 19 closes the film uses are written into main.js, KDATA) |
The 19 closes used in the film: 6,627.26 (9-15) · 6,717.97 · 6,715.41 · 6,894.23 · 7,007.72 · 7,017.91 · 7,080.92 (9-23 high) · 6,889.74 · 6,870.81 · 6,838.04 · 6,971.35 · 7,003.74 (10-02) · 6,941.39 · 6,803.90 · 6,625.93 · 6,384.24 · 6,035.35 · 6,008.81 · 5,554.22 (10-15) | Primary data. The 10-13 close of 6,035.35 (−5.46 %) and the 10-16 close of 5,668.05 (+2.05 %) agree with the Korea Herald and the Korea Times |
| K6 | Samsung Electronics −9.48 %, SK hynix −11.06 %; "都超過 9%" (both more than 9%) | Korea Herald (as K1) | "SK hynix sank 11.06 percent to 1.26 million won, while Samsung Electronics plunged 9.48 percent to 210,000 won." | Reliable media. Naver's individual-stock data does not match these two figures (−10.56 % / −12.76 %), so for the individual stocks only the reported figures are used, not Naver |
| K7 | Strap "利率與 AI 擔憂，芯片股重挫" (rate and AI fears, chip stocks plunge) | Bloomberg headline (as K3) | "… Shares Plunge on AI and Rate Fears" | Headline (checked) |
| — | Not reported | — | Neither "−14.46 % for the week" (computable from the data: 10-08 close 6,625.93 → 10-16 close 5,668.05) nor "worst week since 2008" is reported: the primary statement of "worst week since 2008" applies only to the two individual stocks Samsung and SK hynix (Korea Herald https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10906189 ); only Benzinga says it of the index (403, not read). The film uses "較 9 月高點 −21.56%" (−21.56% from the September high), which the data can confirm | — |
③ The EU AI Office sends requests for information to OpenAI and Anthropic
| # | Claim in the film | Source | Source wording | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| E1 | "歐盟 AI 辦公室向 OpenAI、Anthropic 發出問詢" (the EU AI Office sends requests for information to OpenAI and Anthropic); two "信息調取 REQUEST FOR INFORMATION" documents addressed to OpenAI and to Anthropic (the body is drawn only as grey text lines, no content) | Euronews (Luca Bertuzzi, 2026-10-14) https://www.euronews.com/2026/10/14/eus-ai-rules-face-first-enforcement-test-over-lab-incidents | "The AI Office sent its requests after judging the documents the two companies had voluntarily disclosed insufficient." | Reliable media, single source. The Commission's own speech does not name the two companies, so both the picture (source line, document sign-off) and the voice-over say "據 Euronews 報道 / Euronews reports"; only the one fact "requests were sent" is reported, and the report's details about what prompted the requests are kept off screen and out of the voice-over |
| E3 | Document sign-off 14 OCT 2026; rundown WED 14 OCT | Euronews publication date; date of the Commission speech (E4) | — | — |
| E4 | Quote card: "Our AI Office has started enforcing these rules …"; "歐盟 AI 辦公室已經開始執行這些規則" (the EU AI Office has started enforcing these rules); stamp "已開始執法 ENFORCING" | European Commission Press Corner, "Speech by Executive Vice-President Virkkunen at the International AI Summit in Dublin" (2026-10-14) https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/speech_26_2150 | "Our AI Office has started enforcing these rules, and sent Requests for Information addressing issues such as security, external evaluation and monitoring how models are used." | Primary. The quote card takes only the first half of the sentence and marks the rest with an ellipsis; "tech chief" refers to her post (see E5) |
| E5 | Name strap "Henna Virkkunen · 歐盟委員會執行副主席 / EXECUTIVE VICE-PRESIDENT, EUROPEAN COMMISSION · IN DUBLIN" | Same as E4 | The page calls her "Executive Vice-President for Tech Sovereignty, Security and Democracy" | Primary |
| E6 | On the map, "歐盟 AI 辦公室 · 隸屬歐盟委員會" (EU AI Office · part of the European Commission), city dot at Brussels | AI Office page https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/ai-office ; Commission contact page https://commission.europa.eu/about/contact_en | "The European AI Office was established within the European Commission"; Commission postal address "1049 Brussels" | Primary |
| E7 | The 27 EU member states and the borders between them; all other land is one shape with no borders | Natural Earth 1:50m (world-atlas 2.0.2) | — | Public-domain map data |
| — | Claims not reported | — | (1) "First use of the AI Act against frontier labs": primary sources show the first requests for information went to several frontier-model providers right after enforcement powers took effect in August (Commission speech of 10-09 https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/speech_26_2148 : "We have sent our first Requests for Information to providers of the most advanced models around the world, on three critical topics: security, external evaluation and post-market monitoring."), so "first" does not hold; Euronews's "first test" means the first test of the Act's scope. (2) "沒有罰款，也沒有立案 / No fines. Yet." (no fines, no case opened): neither the primary speech nor Euronews mentions fines or a case; not reported. (3) Ticking off three items, "安全 / 外部評測 / 上線後監測" (security / external evaluation / post-market monitoring): these are the topics of the general requests sent in August and cannot be written on the documents addressed to OpenAI and Anthropic. (4) "The AI Office is in Dublin": Dublin is only where the speech was given. (5) Details of the incidents that prompted the requests: Euronews is the only source, and they are allegations about real companies, so they are kept off screen and out of the voice-over; the document body is drawn only as grey text lines with no content | — |
④ Meta releases the model weights of Muse Spark Open
| # | Claim in the film | Source | Source wording | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | On 15 October Meta releases the weights of Muse Spark Open; stamp "開放權重 OPEN WEIGHTS"; rundown THU 15 OCT | Meta AI research blog, "Muse Spark Open" (2026-10-15) https://research.meta.ai/blog/muse-spark-open | "Today, we're releasing the weights for Muse Spark Open, the most capable US open-weight model to date."; "We're releasing the weights under the Muse Model License with limited commercial terms" | Primary. "Most capable" is Meta's own claim and not reported in the film; the licence restricts commercial use, so the film says "開放權重" (open weights), not "開源" (open source) |
| M2 | 816B total parameters (8160 億), 42B active per token (420 億); 1M-token context | Same | "Muse Spark Open is a natively multimodal model with 816B total parameters (42B active) and a 1M-token context window." | Primary |
| M3 | "約 5% / ABOUT 1/20" | Computed from M2 | 42 ÷ 816 = 5.1 % | Our arithmetic |
| M4 | Runs on two Mac Studios (M5 Ultra); 512 GB each; "≈ 1 TB 統一內存" (≈ 1 TB unified memory) | Same | "Muse Spark Open is the first model in its class to run on your desktop using two Apple M5 Ultra Mac Studios…"; "Apple's unified memory architecture lets the M5 Ultra's integrated GPU use up to 512 GB per Mac Studio"; "The result is two Mac Studios behave like one supercomputer with a terabyte of unified memory." | Primary. Mac Studio is set in type only, no logo |
| — | Not reported | — | The revenue threshold in the licence, third-party benchmark scores and the claim that the Hugging Face repository appeared earlier are found only in secondary sources | — |
