Tencent launched an independent AI search website Yuanbao Search

Tencent officially launched an independent search website "Yuanbao Search" (so.qq.com), competing with Baidu and Google. The website defaults to AI search, allowing users to receive complete answers and reference sources after inputting questions, and supports follow-up inquiries. It also retains traditional web search and provides search entry points for public accounts, video accounts, images, and academic content.Currently, there have been instances where inputting keywords in Sogou Search directly redirects to the Yuanbao Search results page, and the latest version of QQ Browser also supports setting Yuanbao Search as the search engine. Tencent is gradually integrating existing search entry points into Yuanbao.The last self-developed search by Tencent dates back to "Soso," launched in 2006, when it brought in technical executives like Wu Jun from Google. In 2013, Tencent merged Soso's search business into Sogou, investing $448 million to acquire a 36.5% stake in Sogou; in 2021, it completed a full acquisition of Sogou. Starting in 2024, Tencent will promote Yuanbao AI Search, integrating WeChat Search and Sogou Search, and will open search capabilities to enterprises and developers in 2025. In October of this year, the service was renamed "Yuanbao Search," supporting API, MCP, and Skill integration. Official data shows that Yuanbao Search has an index of over 100 billion, with an average daily call volume of hundreds of millions, supporting more than 50 internal businesses such as Tencent Video, ima, and WorkBuddy.

first_img Embodied Data Collection Price Survey: The hourly wage for a thousand yuan quote terminal drops to 8 yuan, with multi-level subcontracting and resale of copies creating a price difference black hole

According to a report by the Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily, there is a significant price disparity in the embodied intelligence data collection industry. For the same 1-hour period, the listed price for high-quality real machine data can reach 300 to 1000 yuan, while the hourly wage for end collection workers is as low as 8 yuan, with some original data transactions even dropping to 3 to 5 yuan per hour.The investigation found that the price difference mainly stems from multi-level subcontracting and the resale of data copies. A hundred-yuan order from the client, after being passed through five or six intermediaries, leaves the grassroots collectors with only about 15 yuan. The baseline remuneration for county-level projects is around 30 yuan/hour; falling below this standard poses compliance or source risks. Additionally, the resale of non-original data three to five times is "very common" in the industry, with some teams monetizing the same material through private copies or additional equipment for simultaneous recording.The report points out that while the industry loudly claims that high-quality data is scarce, data collection service providers are valued at tens of billions; on the other hand, low-priced copies are rampant, and data traceability has failed. Some intermediaries gain pricing power through order control, with domestic data producers averaging a gross profit of about 20% to 30%.

If Jensen Huang were to divorce, his wife could theoretically receive over 500 billion yuan

After Nvidia founder Jensen Huang admitted to an extramarital affair, the outside world began to calculate the potential property division if he were to divorce. According to Forbes, Jensen Huang currently has a net worth of approximately 155.2 billion dollars. Under California's community property system, assets acquired during the marriage are generally divided equally between the spouses. If this wealth is entirely considered community property, his wife Lori Huang could theoretically receive about 77.6 billion dollars, equivalent to over 500 billion yuan.The two met before Nvidia was founded. Jensen Huang met 19-year-old Lori when he was 17 at Oregon State University, where both were electrical engineering students and lab partners. Jensen Huang recalled that there were about 250 students in the entire program, with only 3 being female. To pursue Lori, he suggested they do homework together every Sunday and promised he could help her get all A's; he would complete the assignments in advance and show her the answers when they met.Jensen Huang also promised Lori that he would become a CEO before turning 30. The two married in 1985 and have been together for 41 years. In 1993, Jensen Huang founded Nvidia and became CEO at the age of 30. Lori was originally a chip engineer but later left the workforce to take care of their children. Jensen Huang has publicly stated that his wife has been involved in every step of Nvidia's development, accompanying him to almost every press conference and important speech. He even joked with company executives that since their marriage, his wife has handled almost all household affairs, including signing documents and managing family finances, to the extent that he doesn't even know the address of their home and never personally pays the bills.

Yuanjing Star River Base 120MW completed in one year, with a cost of about one-fifth of similar projects in the United States

After a field visit to the Yuanjing Star River base in Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia, the American semiconductor research organization SemiAnalysis stated that the construction cost of this Chinese AI data center park may be only one-fifth of similar projects in the United States. The first phase of the Star River base, with a capacity of 120MW, was completed and delivered in less than a year. On August 6 of this year, the infrastructure for the first phase was completed, and the wind power and energy storage company Yuanjing Technology announced that the base officially commenced production. After nearly three months of electromechanical debugging and deployment of computing power equipment, the first phase of the approximately 200MW project was fully delivered to customers by the end of October.The entire park is planned to reach an IT power supply capacity of 800MW by the end of 2027, comparable to the approximately 820MW planned for OpenAI's Stargate Abilene core park, which is expected to reach this scale by the end of 2026. Stargate is a data center construction plan covering multiple states, with an initial goal of implementing 10GW of AI infrastructure capacity in the United States by 2029. In April of this year, OpenAI announced that it had secured over 10GW of planned capacity ahead of schedule, but these data centers have not all been completed and put into operation.Yuanjing Technology integrates power generation, energy storage, power supply, and data center construction, having built two wind farms with a total installed capacity of 420MW and supporting battery storage, aiming for over 60% of the electricity used by the first two phases of the data center to come from its own wind power. In contrast, the American Stargate Abilene park mainly relies on the grid and on-site gas-fired power generation facilities for electricity. Yuanjing has already operated an 800V high-voltage direct current system in a 5MW machine room, directly converting 10kV alternating current into the direct current required for server cabinets. The park also employs a cooling design that does not require central chilled water units, allowing liquid-cooled and air-cooled servers to share a single water circulation system.

Yushu and China National Petroleum Corporation plan to jointly invest in industrial embodied intelligence, with Kunlun Manufacturing holding 60% of the shares

According to the information disclosed by the Beijing Municipal Market Supervision Administration, China National Petroleum Corporation Kunlun Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and its concerted action party Kunlun Capital plan to jointly establish a new joint venture with Yushu Technology and Beijing Panjie Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., focusing on industrial embodied intelligent robot solution business. The simplified case of operator concentration has entered the public announcement period, which is from November 4, 2026, to November 13, 2026.According to the announced equity structure, after the transaction is completed, Kunlun Manufacturing and its concerted action parties will hold a total of 60% of the shares in the joint venture, while Yushu Technology and Panjie Intelligent will each hold 20% of the shares, with the three parties jointly controlling the joint venture. The joint venture will provide industrial embodied intelligent robot solutions for fields such as oil and gas, refining and transportation scenario inspections and emergency rescue, as well as applications in gas stations and comprehensive energy stations for charging and swapping. Previously, Kunlun Capital participated as an important investor in the strategic allocation of Yushu Technology's IPO on the Sci-Tech Innovation Board, and the two parties signed a strategic cooperation memorandum regarding the application of robots in oil and gas scenarios. The establishment of the joint venture marks the transition of cooperation from capital connection to the stage of physical operation.

Micron pauses its $4.5 billion factory plan in Taoyuan, labor disputes threaten AI storage expansion

According to Bloomberg, due to ongoing labor disputes with employee unions, Micron Technology has essentially suspended its plans to build a new storage chip factory in Taoyuan, Taiwan, with a project investment budget of $3 billion to $4.5 billion, originally scheduled to start production in 2028. Sources indicate that Micron is concerned that the agreement reached with the union may be overturned, and currently only a small amount of site safety maintenance work is being retained, after which construction will be frozen.The dispute arises from employees' demands to share the profit growth brought by the AI boom. The Taoyuan union is requesting that Micron distribute 15% of its operating profits to global employees and hopes to receive a full cash bonus rather than a portion in stock. Although Micron reached an agreement with the larger Taichung union in October, some employees are dissatisfied with the terms of the agreement, and the Taoyuan union is attempting to expand its organization to push for renegotiation.The project was originally planned to produce high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and DRAM using ASML's advanced equipment. Taiwan currently contributes about 60% of Micron's DRAM output and is also an important production base for HBM, employing approximately 15,000 people. Micron responded that the company's existing operations in Taiwan are normal and will ensure business continuity for customers, but did not directly comment on the suspension of the Taoyuan project. Taiwan's economic department stated that the government will assist Micron in resolving differences with the union and promote the implementation of the investment plan.
