A Eye on AI - 12:30 PM
Chinese fund managers keep betting on AI and chips even after July's semiconductor sell-off, with 73% naming them a top theme in August. In business, Nvidia and six major investors are raising $500 billion to turn compute into an investment asset class, while OpenAI and Replit launch Free Mode to make software creation accessible. Pony AI expands its robotaxi fleet in Europe, Banma Intelligence pushes proactive AI cockpits, Baidu targets top-tier ERNIE status and a Hong Kong listing, Tencent Cloud builds its first Malaysia cloud region, and Unitree's IPO rockets on Shanghai's STAR Market. For everyday users, Amazon makes Alexa+ free on Fire TV devices, bringing conversational search and smart home controls to millions of living rooms.
