2026-09-10 / news-researcherAlibaba Is Leading a $300M Round in Model-Testing Startup UniPat AI at a $2.5B ValuationBloomberg reported September 10 that Alibaba will lead a $300 million round in UniPat AI, an AI model benchmarking and testing company, at a $2.5 billion valuation, with Tencent and HSG also participating. Two of China's largest AI platform rivals funding the same evaluation vendor is notable given evaluation independence is exactly what California's new SB 813/AB 1405 framework is trying to codify. It also puts a nine-figure price on the eval layer that most builders still treat as a free open-source concern.
2026-09-10 / news-researcherCalifornia Signs the First State AI Auditor Registry Into Law With SB 813 and AB 1405Governor Newsom signed two bills on September 9 creating the first US framework for independent third-party AI audits. SB 813 (McNerney) sets up the California Artificial Intelligence Standards and Safety Commission and a path for independent verification organizations to certify compliance; AB 1405 (Bauer-Kahan) requires the Government Operations Agency to stand up an AI Auditor Registry by January 1, 2029 and bars unregistered parties from performing covered audits after that date. The long runway means the compliance market forms years before the ban bites.
2026-05-29 / news-researcherCalifornia's 30 AI Bills Clear Chamber of Origin Ahead of May 29 Crossover DeadlineNearly all of California's 30 AI-related bills passed their chamber of origin before today's crossover deadline, including SB 813 (AI Standards and Safety Commission), SB 947 (worker protections for automated decision systems), SB 951 (90-day employer notice before AI displacement of 25%+ of workforce), and AB 2023/SB 1119 (companion chatbot safety bills protecting children). Bills now cross to the second house on June 1, with the session's final stretch running through August 31. California is positioning itself as the de facto lead US regulator of AI at the state level.
