Just over a year ago, China-made DeepSeek rocked global markets with the release of an AI chatbot that undercut OpenAI's ChatGPT on usage fees and production costs, raising questions about the efficacy of U.S. tech restrictions on China. On Tuesday, Beijing-based startup Moonshot AI revealed Kimi K2.5, which claimed to have video-generation and agentic capabilities that outperformed all three of the leading U.S. AI models. Agentic AI broadly refers to AI systems capable of carrying out tasks on behalf of people. The ultimate goal is to have sophisticated agents that work autonomously with minimal user interaction. The update came just about three months after Moonshot released its K2 model . Hours earlier, e-commerce giant Alibaba announced its latest generative AI model, which can create text, pictures or video based on user commands. Alibaba claimed its Qwen3-Max-Thinking outperformed major U.S. rivals on a broad benchmark test called "Humanity's Last Exam." Alibaba said the new model can automatically select the best AI tool for a range of tasks and draw on past conversations as context to generate new responses more efficiently, all at little additional cost. A week earlier on Jan. 19, Z.ai released a free version of its recently launched GLM 4.7 model . Two days later, the company restricted new subscribers from signing up for its AI coding tool after demand strained its available computing power . watch now VIDEO 3:54 03:54 Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang: We're in the largest infrastructure build out in human history Squawk on the Street Also last week, Hong Kong-traded shares of Chinese tech giant Baidu climbed to their highest level in nearly three years following the release o...

(RTTNews) - Pony.ai announced a strategic partnership with Beijing ATBB Travel & Express Service Co., Ltd., a premium mobility service provider in China, to advance the commercialization of Robotaxi services through an asset-light, partnership-driven model. Under the collaboration, Pony.ai and ATBB will jointly deploy and operate Robotaxi services in tier-1 cities across China, while also extending autonomous driving applications to airport and business travel scenarios. As part of the agreement, the companies plan to establish a Robotaxi fleet powered by Pony.ai's seventh-generation vehicles. The fleet will operate in tier-1 cities, including routes connecting airports and high-speed rail stations. These vehicles will complement Pony.ai's existing Robotaxi network, adding capacity and supporting a wide range of travel needs from daily urban trips to airport transfers. The initial fleet will be integrated into Pony.ai's proprietary ride-hailing platform as well as third-party mobility ecosystems. Pony.ai will also connect its self-operated Robotaxi vehicles to ATBB's Xinghui Mobility platform, enabling both parties to share demand and fleet resources within a flexible and scalable framework. In 2025, Pony.ai marked several milestones, including securing China's first citywide permit for fully driverless commercial Robotaxi operations in Shenzhen and expanding commercial services across Beijing, Guangzhou, and Shanghai. PONY closed Tuesday's regular trading session at $15.69, rising $0.20 or 1.29%. In overnight trading, the stock advanced further to $16.02, up $0.33 or 2.10% by 9:38 PM EST.

mingxing chen/iStock via Getty Images Note: I have covered New Fortress Energy Inc., or "NFE" ( NFE ) previously, so investors should view this as an update to my earlier articles on the company. Over the past week, shares of debt-laden LNG infrastructure player New Fortress Energy have experienced renewed volatility on heavy trading volume as market participants are digesting recent developments. Yahoo Finance On January 21, BlackRock, Inc. ( BLK ) revealed a significantly increased stake in the company's common shares: Fintel.io In aggregate, BlackRock beneficially owns 27.9 million common shares, or an approximately 9.8% stake, up from 6.7% in July 2025. However, as disclosed in BlackRock's regulatory filing, the majority of the shares are held within the iShares U.S. Infrastructure ETF ( IFRA ), a passively managed exchange-traded fund mirroring the NYSE FactSet U.S. Infrastructure Index with approximately $3.5 billion in assets under management. Over the past six months, the fund has experienced substantial inflows, which have resulted in the requirement to increase positions accordingly. Most of BlackRock's remaining New Fortress Energy shares are also held in passively managed exchange-traded funds like the iShares Russell 2000 ETF ( IWM ) and iShares Russell 2000 Value ETF ( IWN ). Consequently, I would attribute BlackRock's increased position to substantial inflows experienced in recent months. While the disclosure caused a multi-session rally in New Fortress Energy's common shares, a new Bloomberg article on Monday resulted in the stock giving back the majority of last week's gains: Wes Edens' New Fortress Energy Inc. is ironing out a proposed restructuring support agreement that would see creditors get preferred equity in the reorganized liquefied natural gas operator, according to people familiar with the situation. Under the proposal, bondholders would take control of the company's Brazilian assets, while term loan lenders would see recoveries through v...

Apple Inc. Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook became the latest executive to weigh in on the ICE killing of a man in Minneapolis, telling employees he is “heartbroken” by the events and calling for a “deescalation.” “This is a time for deescalation,” Cook wrote. “I believe America is strongest when we live up to our highest ideals, when we treat everyone with dignity and respect no matter who they are or where they’re from, and when we embrace our shared humanity.” The fatal shooting of ICU nurse Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis last Saturday has stoked public outcry in the US. The longtime CEO said he discussed the matter with President Donald Trump earlier this week. Cook had come under fire by employees, customers and Apple watchers for attending a screening of a documentary on First Lady Melania Trump the evening of the shooting at the White House. “I had a good conversation with the president this week where I shared my views, and I appreciate his openness to engaging on issues that matter to us all,” Cook wrote to employees. “I know this is very emotional and challenging for so many. I am proud of how deeply our teams care about the world beyond our walls.” Here is Cook’s full memo to Apple employees: Team, I’m heartbroken by the events in Minneapolis, and my prayers and deepest sympathies are with the families, with the communities, and with everyone that’s been affected. This is a time for deescalation. I believe America is strongest when we live up to our highest ideals, when we treat everyone with dignity and respect no matter who they are or where they’re from, and when we embrace our shared humanity. This is something Apple has always advocated for. I had a good conversation with the president this week where I shared my views, and I appreciate his openness to engaging on issues that matter to us all. I know this is very emotional and challenging for so many. I am proud of how deeply our teams care about the world beyond our walls. That e...
