Apple's Succession: The Ultimate Test of Greatness Is the Post-Founder Era

Recently, Apple completed yet another change at the helm, with its third-generation successor officially taking the reins of this trillion-dollar juggernaut. This moment made me reflect: a company that has endured for over fifty years, navigating multiple leadership transitions without losing its course or its innovative edge, does not rely on the irreplaceability of any single genius. Rather, it is sustained by a system of institutions and culture deeply embedded within the organization. From Jobs to Cook, and now to the new generation, each Apple transition has been as smooth as a finely tuned clock. Behind this lies the systematic transmission of values through Apple University, the process-driven operation of supply chains and product roadmaps, and the long-term planning of board gover

The commercialization of large models is gaining momentum!

Tencent's open-source release of the Hunyuan Hy4 Preview (MoE architecture, 49B activated parameters, one-million-token context window) and ByteDance's launch of its Doubao AI office products mark a pivotal shift in China's AI-powered office sector—from technology incubation to large-scale commercial deployment. Open-sourcing lowers the barrier for enterprise adoption, while ByteDance strengthens its B-end subscription-based monetization, underscoring a clear industry trend. Institutions believe that large-model applications have now entered a phase where they are "usable, user-friendly, and trustworthy," benefiting media companies with strengths in tool integration, content distribution, and deep scenario-specific capabilities.$腾讯控股(

Zhipu's stock tanked this afternoon — is this a classic 'buy the rumor, sell the news' bloodbath?

Today, Zhipu (02513) saw its share price fall more than 7.5% in the afternoon session, hitting an intraday low of HK$1,066. Dragged down by the sector, MiniMax also dropped over 4%. On the news front, Zhipu today launched the GLM-5.3-Flash model, officially claiming the recently hyped "Niulai" model, confirming earlier market speculation. The model currently ranks 10th on the AAII leaderboard, surpassing DeepSeek V4 ProMax, and topped OpenRouter's usage charts last week. Zhipu claims the model was trained on 100,000 domestic chips, with the market speculating that Huawei's Ascend chips were used. The sell-off may be attributed to a "buy the rumor, sell the fact" dynamic. Right after the midday break, between 13:04 and 13:05, three large sell orders (10,600 shares, 4,700 shares, and 4,800 s

Beyond Hyperscalers: Why AI Compute Growth Won’t End Even If Big‑Tech Spending Slows

NVIDIA broke out its data‑center business into two buckets in the latest earnings report: hyperscaler customers, and ACIE, which encompasses industrial, enterprise and sovereign clients. ACIE is now where most of the company’s new‑found growth is coming from. Analysing AI computing capacity should never hinge entirely on whether big‑tech players keep ramping up outlays. AI extends far beyond a small group of large cloud firms, with embodied intelligence and many other real‑world applications opening up extensive demand avenues. The popular narrative that AI compute infrastructure would hit its ceiling once hyperscaler expenditure loses momentum does not hold water, and NVIDIA’s quarterly results have now laid that argument to rest. The brutal correction sweeping the AI compute supply chain

So far, no one has claimed it. When will the Ox model find its "mother"?

On August 20, 2026, an anonymous large language model named "Ox Alpha" suddenly topped the OpenRouter leaderboard and set a new record for single‑day usage. Since "Ox" translates to "bull" in Chinese, and it happened to coincide with the popularity of the movie Niu Lai (Bull Comes), netizens gave it the down‑to‑earth nickname "Niu Lai Model." The model immediately drew widespread attention—not only because of the mystery shrouding its anonymous creators, but also due to its undeniable hardcore capabilities. The technical specs of the Niu Lai model are truly impressive: it boasts an ultra‑long context window of 1,048,600 tokens, enough to accommodate a medium‑sized codebase. Programmers who tested it found that on certain tasks its performance can match or even surpass the well‑known model

Duan Yongping, the legendary investor widely known as "Da Dao Wu Xing Wo You Xing" on Investment Platform, has reportedly suffered a major loss on $Moderna, Inc.(MRNA)$, the recent star of U.S. biotech stocks.
