财联社3月5日讯（记者 付静 王碧微） 自2024年全国两会，“人工智能+”被写入政府工作报告，便成为科技行业热词。今年全国两会，人工智能仍然是关注焦点。 《“十五五”规划建议》明确提出要全面实施“人工智能+”行动，抢占人工智能产业应用制高点，全方位赋能千行百业。 3月5日，政府工作报告在介绍2026年政府工作任务时提出，深化拓展“人工智能+”，促进新一代智能终端和智能体加快推广，推动重点行业领域人工智能商业化规模化应用，培育智能原生新业态新模式。支持人工智能开源社区建设，促进开源生态繁荣。实施超大规模智算集群、算电协同等新基建工程，加强全国一体化算力监测调度，支持公共云发展。深化数据资源开发利用，健全数据要素基础制度，建设高质量数据集。完善人工智能治理。 财联社记者梳理采访获悉，多位代表、委员将优化AI算力布局、加强AI时代隐私保护、支持智能体广泛应用、加速AI赋能各行各业在内的诸多AI相关思考写进两会建议，对人工智能产业接下来如何高质量发展这一重要课题给出解法。 算力：从“可用”到“好用” 财联社记者采访获悉，AI浪潮下算力需求持续增长，后续推理需求将成为主流，不过供给仍有缺口，且算力布局有待优化。多位委员、代表围绕这一话题发声。 2026年，企业在算力投入上的关注点，逐渐从单纯追求规模，转向更加重视推理成本、单位算力产出以及整体使用效率，这使得推理芯片和推理优化方案的重要性持续提升。 今年两会前夕，全国政协委员、360集团创始人周鸿祎亦在接受记者采访时谈及了上述问题。 他认为，相较于高端AI通用芯片，专用推理芯片具有能耗低、效率高等优势，需求量极大，已经成为国外企业布局的热点方向，且专用推理芯片技术难度更低，产业链更易自主可控，这也是我国芯片产业实现差异化突围的重要方向。目前来看，我国的算力中心面向推理任务的专用集群存在缺口，区域间供需适配有待优化，专用推理芯片技术也亟需突破。 为此周鸿祎建议鼓励专用推理芯片的国产化发展，重点突破高精度、低时延、多模态的芯片技术，实现产业链自主可控，支持智能体技术的深度应用。 算力平台的建设及布局的优化仍是本届两会建议中的重点。 周鸿祎建议优化推理算力布局：国家出台推理算力布局指导政策，依据各地场景密度、算力缺口、能源保障能力，建立“全国统筹+区域细化”的推理算力布局体系，在重点产业集聚区域，建设低时延、高密度的推理算力集群。...

美以对伊战争进入第六天，在有报道称伊朗近期释放信号、准备放弃其铀库存后，美国股指期货收窄跌幅，欧股也转涨，油价也回吐部分涨势。 截至发稿，纳指期货跌0.4%，标普500指数期货跌0.3%，道指期货跌0.4%。 标普500指数期货早些时候一度下跌 0.5%，随着美国期货反弹，欧洲股指也开始转正。 稍早，亚洲股市在前一交易日的历史性抛售后反弹。韩国股市在“史上最差日”后强劲修复，Kospi 上涨 9.6%，主要由芯片股大涨带动，AI 存储芯片制造商 SK 海力士上涨 11%。 伊朗传考虑放弃核计划 目前看到唯一能够紧密对应这波反弹的“可能性标题”，来自 Sky News Arabia：其援引伊朗外交部称，伊朗可能会考虑放弃其核计划，前提是“美国给出足够有吸引力的替代性方案”。 报道称，伊朗副外长Majid Takht-Ravanchi是在周三深夜的一次采访中作出上述表态。伊朗与美国在战争爆发前曾进行了 三轮谈判。 此前还有消息称，伊朗一直在秘密与美国接触，试图达成协议并结束冲突；不过伊朗方面将这些报道斥为假新闻。这些都可以被视为局势降温的明确信号。只要美国或以色列宣布已经达成既定目标，市场就可能出现一波“欢呼式”反应。 不过华尔街曰报分析称，这种情况发生的概率几乎为零。双方已经在交战，而特朗普也不会有足够耐心重回谈判桌。更何况双方分歧本就过大。这也是把局势推到今天这一步的原因。 能源市场压力正成为焦点 油价回吐涨幅，布伦特原油交投于 82.50 美元/桶附近。霍尔木兹海峡事实性关闭，使全球每日约 五分之一的石油消费量被“困住”，迫使部分产油方开始削减产量。 SEB Research 首席大宗商品分析师 Bjarne Schieldrop表示：“价格冲击的力度完全取决于这种状况持续多久。超过 7–12 天之后，影响将更明确地显现出来。” 稍早时段，美以对伊战争的相关进展促使交易员收缩风险敞口；而在上一交易日市场情绪曾有所回暖。能源市场压力正成为焦点：中国正寻求节约燃料；日本炼油企业则呼吁释放战略石油储备。 Singular Bank 策略主管 Roberto Scholtes表示：“关键问题在于霍尔木兹海峡的通行。如果被封锁超过一周，能源价格在较长时间维持高位的风险就会变得真实存在。若能迅速解决，其对经济与金融的影响可能可以忽略不计。” 全球债券抛售没有缓和迹象。10 年...

Both the Schwab Short-Term U.S. Treasury ETF (SCHO 0.04%) and the VanEck Short Muni ETF (SMB +0.00%) are ultra-short bond funds targeting safety and liquidity, but with different approaches: SCHO tracks the short-term U.S. Treasury market, while SMB focuses on short-term, tax-exempt municipal bonds. SCHO features larger assets under management (AUM), higher yield, and lower fees compared to SMB, while SMB has slightly outperformed over the past year and five-year periods.

财联社3月5日讯（编辑 夏军雄） 周四，美股三大股指期货集体下跌，市场密切关注持续上涨的油价。欧洲主要指数普遍走低。 （来源：英为财情） 国际油价周四继续上涨，延续了此前的涨势，布伦特原油期货价格上涨逾2%，至约每桶83美元，而WTI原油期货价格升至每桶76美元。 油价大涨已经波及全球金融市场，并可能引发世界经济震荡。霍尔木兹海峡的事实性关闭已使数千艘船只滞留在波斯湾，迫使海湾产油国削减产量，也迫使亚洲炼油厂寻找替代供应来源。 投资者表示，短期市场走势将取决于油轮是否能够重新通过霍尔木兹海峡。 美国总统特朗普周二表示，美国正准备为波斯湾航行的船只提供风险保险并派遣护航舰队，以确保船只能够通过霍尔木兹海峡。但白宫并未说明何时该海峡能够恢复对油轮的安全通行。 美国银行证券（Bank of America Securities）美国股票及量化策略主管Savita Subramanian在接受采访时表示：“局势正在发生一些边际变化。显然我们正面临地缘政治冲击，目前市场仍在评估这将如何影响股票的风险溢价。” 她补充称：“除此之外，我们还看到，在长期极低利率环境下受益的一些资产，其行情正在逐渐退潮。” 公司消息 【OpenAI年化营收突破250亿美元】 据报道，知情人士透露，截至上月底，OpenAI年化营收已突破250亿美元。 【谷歌与Epic Games达成和解，将应用商店佣金降至20%】 当地时间3月4日，谷歌宣布，将把应用商店内购佣金降至20%，若开发者选择使用谷歌支付系统则额外加收5%。同时，谷歌表示，通过名为“注册应用商店计划”（Registered App Store program）的新选项，用户可更便捷地安装第三方应用商店。 此外，谷歌在公司博客声明中表示：“随着这些更新，我们已与Epic Games达成全球范围的和解。”Epic Games也将在全球范围内将《堡垒之夜》重新上架谷歌应用商店。 Epic Games曾指控谷歌非法垄断安卓设备上用户获取应用及进行应用内购买的渠道。双方于去年11月达成和解协议。 【美国七大科技巨头签署自主供电承诺】 据报道，当地时间3月4日，微软、谷歌、OpenAI、亚马逊、Meta、xAI和甲骨文这七家公司代表在美国白宫签署相关文件，美国总统特朗普表示，不少美国民众担忧数据中心会推高电力需求，可能导致电费上涨，有了这份文件，问题将...

财联社3月5日讯（记者 张良德） “中药材质量直接关乎群众用药安全与产业生命力，既要发展保数量，更要优化提质量。”全国人大代表、扬子江药业集团党委书记、董事长、总裁徐浩宇对财联社记者表示。 随着“健康中国”与“数字中国”战略交汇，医药产业正迎来前所未有的变革机遇，同时，中药材产业与医药数据领域迎来密集的政策支持。今年两会，徐浩宇带来了加快中药材产业全链条质量信用保障体系建设、推进医药数据资产化等建议，为健康中国建设献计献策。 作为中医药产业链主企业，扬子江药业集团长期坚守质量源头管控。截至2025年底，公司已在全国建成80个规范化中药材种植基地，并有序布局物联网、无人机巡检等智慧系统，强化从田间种植到采收加工的质量追溯与管控。基于深耕一线的实践，徐浩宇对药农的诉求和产业上游发展痛点有了更深入的了解，并形成了带动农户增收、助力乡村振兴的成熟思路。 官方数据显示，截至2025年3月，我国中药材种植面积达5000万亩左右，较10年前翻一番。然而，中药材作为农作物产品，农残超标、掺伪掺杂等问题仍时有发生。 徐浩宇建议，应面向全国七大道地药材产区，高起点、体系化建设一批国家级区域性智慧生态种植综合示范区，引领中药材规范化种植与加工。 他强调，推动中药材产业高质量发展必须强化系统联动，加强中药材种质资源保护与创新，加快智慧生态种植模式推广，完善产地初深加工及仓储物流配套建设。同时，强化全链条质量信用分级评价与监管联动，搭建全国一体化的中药材市场主体质量信用档案数据库，健全守信激励与失信惩戒机制，在保障农户收益的同时，为中医药产业化、现代化可持续发展与乡村全面振兴提供坚实支撑。 如果说质量是产业的根基，那么数据就是产业创新的关键。医药行业作为数据密集型领域，积累了海量临床、科研、流通等方面的高潜数据，但当前大量数据仍处于分散、“沉睡”状态。徐浩宇认为，推进医药数据资产化，是落实健康中国、数字中国战略的关键路径，也是培育医药产业新动能的必然选择。 扬子江药业集团已在数据要素应用上先行先试。2025年，公司作为采购方完成江苏省首单全过程公共数据产品场内交易，通过购买“泰州市亚急性、慢性病数据集”助力慢性咳嗽疾病的药物研制，为医药数据资产化探索了可行路径。 如何更好释放数据要素价值？基于一线实践，徐浩宇建议从多方面发力：一是夯实医药数据资产化制度底座，加快构建完善数据资产管理制度标准体...

IREN Limited IREN recently announced plans to expand the capacity of its AI cloud infrastructure, where the company has agreed to purchase more than 50,000 NVIDIA B300 graphics processing units (GPUs). After this purchase, the company’s total GPU fleet is expected to reach 150,000 GPUs. IREN expects this capacity to support more than $3.7 billion in AI cloud annualized run-rate revenues (ARR) by the end of fiscal 2026. The additional GPUs will be deployed in phases during the second half of fiscal 2026. They will be installed in IREN’s existing air-cooled data centers in Mackenzie, British Columbia and Childress, Texas. Since these facilities already have power and infrastructure in place, IREN can add GPUs without building new data centers. In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, IREN reported around $2.3 billion of ARR under contract, which includes its large AI cloud agreement with Microsoft and about $0.4-$0.5 billion of ARR from the Prince George site. This shows that the company already has a strong base to start from. IREN has also raised significant capital to support expansion of its AI cloud capacity. Over the past eight months, IREN raised about $9.3 billion through customer prepayments, convertible notes, GPU leasing and GPU financing. IREN has secured $3.6 billion in GPU financing from Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan during the second quarter and plans to raise around $3.5 billion in additional capital spending for the new GPU orders in the second half of 2026 to fund its AI cloud infrastructure expansion. Overall, the above-mentioned factors should support the company's plans to reach the $3.7 billion AI Cloud ARR target by the end of fiscal 2026. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for IREN's fiscal 2026 revenues is pegged at $984.53 billion, suggesting a year-over-year increase of 93.3%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for IREN's fiscal 2027 revenues is pegged at $2.70 billion, indicating a year-over-year increase of 173.9%. IREN Stock Faces Stiff Competition IREN fa...

Darcy Graham and Jack Dempsey will start for Scotland in Saturday's Six Nations meeting with France at Murrayfield, while Zander Fagerson drops to the bench. Wing Graham, 28, has come off the bench in the Scots' past three Tests. Kyle Steyn moves from right to left wing to accommodate Graham with Duhan van der Merwe missing out. Graham, like Van der Merwe, has scored 35 international tries. Back-rower Dempsey, 31, was expected to miss the rest of the tournament after picking up a bicep injury in the Calcutta Cup win over England but returned to the squad following the victory away to Wales in round three. He replaces Matt Fagerson at number eight, with Fagerson switching to blindside flanker.
