In Zhipu’s interim report, I think the most important thing to look at is what has changed in its financing capacity since listing.
In January this year, Zhipu went public at HK$116.2 per share. Including the greenshoe option, it raised approximately HK$4.9B net from the IPO.
By June 30, HK$4.59B of that money had already been spent, representing a utilization rate of 93.7%. The funds originally earmarked for large-model R&D, as well as MaaS, training, and inference infrastructure, were basically exhausted.
At the same time, however, Zhipu’s share price had risen sharply.
In July, it placed 19

ChangXin has pushed domestic HBM forward by another generation.
The Information reported today that ChangXin has begun small-batch production of HBM3E. Alibaba’s T-Head and Cambricon are using this batch of memory for processor adaptation. If validation goes smoothly, it could enter commercial chips as early as next year, with larger-scale production planned for 2027.
This progress is faster than I originally expected.
The global HBM giants SK Hynix, Samsung, and Micron have now entered HBM4 mass production, so based on product specifications alone, ChangXin’s HBM3E is only one generation behi

Nvidia directly subscribed to $3.5 billion of MediaTek’s offshore convertible bonds.
MediaTek issued only $3.9 billion in total in this round. Nvidia alone took nearly 90%, and these bonds carry a 0% coupon.
MediaTek also announced that it will adopt NVLink Fusion. Going forward, if cloud companies such as Google, Amazon, and Meta want to build their own custom XPUs, they can hand the chips to MediaTek. MediaTek will handle the interconnects, HBM, and advanced packaging, then connect them directly to Nvidia’s rack-scale systems.
This matters because cloud providers’ in-house ASIC development h

OpenAI bought tens of thousands of Mac minis and Mac Studios for reinforcement learning and training computer-use agents, and is still looking for more. Anthropic also needs Macs, but it uses AWS rentals.
Why would an AI company that already has massive amounts of GPUs suddenly start hoarding tens of thousands of ordinary computers?
Because Agent training is beginning to require another resource that was previously less important: environments.
Computer-use agents need to view screens, click buttons, switch software, and handle pop-ups. During reinforcement learning, the same task is repeatedl

I just finished listening to NVIDIA’s FY2027 Q2 earnings call and broke down the most important information into 11 points.
1. Revenue and profit both far exceeded expectations
Quarterly revenue was $96.22 billion, up 106% year over year, versus market expectations of approximately $92.2 billion.
Non-GAAP earnings per share were $2.22, versus market expectations of approximately $2.09.
2. Data center revenue continues to double
Data center revenue was $89 billion, up 117% year over year, and now accounts for 92.5% of NVIDIA’s total revenue.
NVIDIA is now essentially an AI infrastructure compan

I've been looking for an Agent product with this functionality for a long time:
- Break my tasks/requirements down into different subtasks
- Then, based on which models' APIs I've configured, assign the subtasks to the most suitable/cheapest/most cost-effective models
Otherwise, having to judge and choose myself every time is really troublesome—my pig brain hurts.
Are there any products that can solve this need now?

In my own experience, Agent is still a very, very long way from truly replacing human work.
Current Agents are relatively good at completing the first 1 to 60 points of a task: gathering materials, organizing information, carrying out tasks in batches, and generating initial drafts. They can already do these things very quickly.
But the most difficult parts of a task often happen precisely at both ends.
Going from 0 to 1 requires people to know what the problem actually is; going from 60 to 80, or even all the way to 100, requires people to judge what is correct, what is good, and where it sti

Hassabis originally wanted to leave Google at the same time as Jeff Dean
Wow
Pathfounders, citing industry sources, reported that Hassabis originally wanted to leave Google at the same time as Jeff Dean, but management feared that the departure of two AI heavyweights together would severely impact the stock price, so they persuaded him to stay for the time being.
In the end, Jeff Dean and others left, while Hassabis became chairman of Google DeepMind and chief scientist of Alphabet. After the news was announced, $GOOG ’s stock price briefly fell about 5%.
It seems, then, that Hassabis’

U.S. guards against Chinese robots, while Silicon Valley goes straight to Shenzhen to personally carry goods back
I just saw this report from The Information, and the scene is utterly surreal.
In April this year, a San Francisco investor flew to Shenzhen with a long procurement list, stuffed robots and parts into suitcases, and flew them back to the U.S. Some teams even bought Unitree robots outright, took them apart, shipped the parts back, and reassembled them themselves.
At the end of July, the U.S. restricted new-model foreign humanoid robots and robot dogs from entering the country on nat

Cloud providers can dumb down large models
Here’s another interesting one.
Model evaluation agency Artificial Analysis recently conducted a test: it set the scores of officially deployed models at 100%, then tested APIs for the same models provided by different cloud service providers.
The results were striking.
The worst-performing GLM-5.2 API endpoint retained only 52% of its capabilities. gpt-oss-120b fluctuated between 70% and 101%. DeepSeek V4 Pro was relatively stable, with all 9 providers ranging between 97% and 107%.
The main reason is that cloud providers need to control costs.

China’s open source has won
At a closed-door meeting on August 4, the White House told companies including OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic that open-weight models would not be included in the new AI safety review framework.
Chinese models such as Kimi K3 and DeepSeek therefore do not need to be submitted to the U.S. government for testing before release. At least for now, the U.S. will not use this framework to ban them.

Computer viruses can now use AI on their own—humanity is utterly defeated.
Remember the fear of being ruled by Panda Burning Incense and Trojan horses when we were kids?
Recently, a research team developed a computer virus integrated with a large language model. It can scan networks and search for vulnerabilities on its own, then temporarily generate attack methods based on the conditions of different machines. If an attempt fails, it will review what went wrong and try again on its own.
After taking over a computer, it copies itself over and continues infecting other devices. If it encounters

DeepSeek restarts ¥50 billion financing round, pre-money valuation of ¥500 billion
Great news—the financing that was suddenly suspended after the quotation incident has resumed.
Caijing, citing multiple dealmakers, reported that DeepSeek has restarted its second financing round. The company plans to raise another ¥50 billion at a pre-money valuation of approximately ¥500 billion, with the goal of signing the agreements in late August. DeepSeek has not responded.
This financing round was launched no later than mid-July and was temporarily suspended at the end of July. After its restart, DeepSee

ChangXin is set to build another plant, and Micron shares fell 4.5% during trading
This morning I saw a pretty encouraging piece of news.
ChangXin Storage is considering building its second 12-inch DRAM wafer fab in Beijing Yizhuang. It is currently in talks with local government platforms and state-owned enterprises about financing. ChangXin currently has three DRAM fabs: two in Hefei and one in Beijing, with each plant’s monthly production capacity at roughly 100k wafers. Taking into account the new projects in Shanghai, Hefei, and Beijing, once they are fully operational, total monthly prod
