  • Embodied AI After the Hype: Three Barriers — Physical Reliability, Data Ownership & Identity Rules

    Author: Peng Zhao On November 2, the final day of the 2026 World IoT Expo, I hosted the "2026 Wuxi Liangxi Science and Technology City Robotics Industry Development and Project Matching Conference." An investor from Beijing took the stage, first sighing about how early winter arrives in the north, then pivoting sharply: the landscape for embodied AI has changed. Two years ago, funding in this sector totaled just over CNY 3 billion; by the first half of this year, it had surged to CNY 93.5 billio

  • Indium Phosphide Substrates Tighten: Yunnan Germanium Lands 900k-Wafer 5-Year Deal with AOI

    As a key substrate material in compound semiconductors, indium phosphide (InP) is experiencing a surge in demand driven by the AI computing wave, leveraging its luminescent properties that are well-suited for fiber optic communications. In 2026, with the continued ramp-up of 800G and 1.6T high-speed optical modules, the supply-demand balance for upstream InP substrates remains tight. Delivery lead times have lengthened, while new production lines typically require 2 to 3 years to build, making i

  • Token Factory Economics: DataCanvas’s Alaya NeW OS Boosts Inference Efficiency

    Author | Wei Rong Editor | Bao Yonggang If different hardware solutions from various vendors deliver the same 1 million Tokens, which one is actually more cost-effective? This question likely cannot be answered solely by looking at a GPU price list. In the past, customers rented GPUs based on quantity and duration, making bills relatively clear. Today, an increasing number of customers are purchasing Token services directly. Hardware prices, model execution speed, and actual Token output all imp

  • Causality & Interactivity: Baidu’s 2+3 Criteria for Autonomous Driving World Models

    Author | Wu Yuqing Editor | Tian Zhe On October 17, a distressing accident occurred on the Xupu Bridge in Shanghai. A flatbed truck first collided with a white passenger car, then veered into the opposing lane and struck four more vehicles in succession, resulting in one death and two injuries. Following the accident, numerous reconstructions and discussions about the entire incident emerged online. If the white passenger car had not changed lanes illegally, or if the truck had braked earlier, w
