U.S. Secretary of State Rubio said charging fees for passage through the Strait of Hormuz would set an unacceptable precedent.

FysicsAI said its new Fysiverse physical-world model, built on a differentiable physics engine, has achieved a breakthrough. FysicsAI says Fysiverse mitigates common failures in data-driven world models — physics hallucinations, inference breakdowns and collapse in non-standard scenarios — by adopting an explicit-physics-simulator × generative-renderer architecture: a computable physical state as an intermediate layer, a differentiable physics engine as the world-evolution mechanism and a renderer for visual output. The model restructures the computation chain to observation—state—physical evolution—visual presentation rather than treating motion trajectories as external overlays.

US Energy Secretary wright said roughly 72 vessels departed the Strait of Hormuz in the past 24 hours, carrying about 20 million barrels of oil.
