JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Celestica Inc. ( CLS ) is a multinational provider of supply chain solutions and electronic manufacturing services to large-scale customers in cloud infrastructure, communication, aerospace, and defense markets. The company concentrates on manufacturing and the operation of complicated hardware platforms that are used in data centers, entertainment devices, and enterprise technology architecture. Celestica Inc. ( CLS ) has been reporting good financial performance lately; however, this could have been prompted by the rising demand of advanced networking systems and AI infrastructure. Recent quarter’s financial reports show high revenue growth on a yearly basis, and CLS continues to grow its CCS segment . Recently, we have seen hyperscale data center clients investing in physical infrastructure to support artificial intelligence and machine learning systems – this seems to be one of the reasons behind this growth. Celestica Inc. has ensured that it remains a significant supplier of the expanding ecosystem as the demand of these technologies increases. In the latest earnings report released by the company, the earnings were higher than analysts’ expectations. However, it was noted that the stock has gone down since investors are being careful of future growth prospects. It is worth noting that Celestica is facing a lot of competition and might not be able to hold the ‘leading retailer’ title for too long, especially as it experiences problems when expanding into foreign markets. Nevertheless, CLS continues to show favorable price movement , when compared to the overall market and has a good investor following. Snapshot of the Company The company rating of CLS is 50 out of 100. It seems to have below-average fundamentals, which may lead to concerns regarding the general financial condition of the company. Before jumping to conclusions, we’ll have to look closer into individual categories to see what’s going on. BTMA Stock Ana...

The record floods that have brought death and destruction to the heartland of Brazil’s coffee industry are expected to intensify if people continue to burn fossil fuels, analysis has shown. Dozens of residents in the state of Minas Gerais have been buried alive in landslides or swept away as roads turned into rivers over the past month. Thousands more have been forced to evacuate their homes, while the wider, longer-term effects are likely to include higher prices for coffee across the world. The city of Juiz de Fora was among the hardest hit, experiencing its wettest February on record, with more than 750mm of rainfall – three times the expected amount for that period and 65% more than the previous record of 456mm set in 1988, according to the latest study by the World Weather Attribution group. The international team of scientists said a primary cause of the deaths was inequality and inadequate urban planning, which created landslide vulnerabilities for poor communities dwelling on steep, deforested and poorly drained hill slopes. Juiz de Fora is one of the 10 riskiest cities in Brazil in terms of the proportion of residents living in such danger zones. The intensity of the downpour in the city was also exceptional, calculated by the experts as a one-in-several-hundred-year event. While the scientists were unable to determine a clear fingerprint of human-driven climate disruption in this instance, they found that downpours in the area would be expected to become 7% more severe if the planet reached 2.6C of heating above preindustrial levels, up from the current level of about 1.3C. The authors of the paper said the priority should be to phase out planet-heating gases from oil, gas and coal use as rapidly as possible. “We must fight to ensure that record-shattering months, like the one Juiz de Fora just endured, don’t become the norm. The science shows us that risk is growing – we now need the urgent action that it justifies,” said Friederike Otto, professor of cli...

The Middle East conflict won’t significantly hamper the technology supply chain in the short run, according to a senior Seagate Technology Holdings executive addressing concerns that the war could begin to choke off the supply of vital materials such as helium. Some investors worry that a prolonged war might worsen already tight supplies of memory chips and storage devices. That’s weighed on sentiment around Seagate and rival WD Corp. , which together supply the majority of hard drives used for long-term storage in data centers and PCs. Both have warned their hard drives are sold out for 2026. “At this point, we have resiliency in our supply chain that is buffering us from any short-term impact,” Seagate Chief Commercial Officer Ban Seng Teh said on Bloomberg TV Thursday, adding that Seagate is exploring “several other options,” to shore up its supplies. Qatar’s shutdown of liquefied natural gas production at Ras Laffan has also taken about a third of global helium production offline, Bloomberg Economics estimates. That’s a potential hit to chipmakers since it’s an essential component in the production chain and there’s no ready substitute, according to Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Michael Deng . “If the disruption persists beyond the next several weeks, helium shortages could force chipmakers to allocate even more production capacity toward AI memory and deepen an already severe memory shortage,” Deng said. Production of high-capacity hard drives also requires helium. Iran War’s Helium Hit Risks Bigger Chip Crunch Global LNG Hunt Intensifies as Middle East War Cuts Supply LNG Suppliers Declare Force Majeure on Contracts From Qatar Seagate and WD are fielding soaring demand for hard drives due to a global race to build data centers to feed and strengthen artificial intelligence — seen as key to determining winners and losers in both the corporate and geopolitical spheres. Companies can’t not invest in AI, Teh said. He added that Seagate is not increasing unit prod...

谷歌发布首个原生全模态 Embedding 模型 Gemini Embedding 2！它将文本、图、音视频及 PDF 无损融于统一向量空间，实现跨越五大模态的直接检索。这极大降低了架构成本，赋予了 AI 真正连贯的「记忆」，是重塑 AI 基建的里程碑。 如果说 ChatGPT 等生成式 AI 大模型是 AI 用来表达的「嘴」，那么 Embedding（嵌入）模型就是负责理解与检索的「记忆神经」。 长期以来，这条记忆神经处于割裂状态。 昨天，Gemini API 上线首个多模态 Embedding 模型预览版 gemini-embedding-2-preview。 作为首个原生全模态 Embedding 模型，它将文本、图像、音视频乃至 PDF 文档，悉数融合进了一个统一的向量空间。 拆解「原生全模态」的颠覆性价值 要真正理解这项技术的战略分量，我们需要看清过去 AI 检索系统面临的「数据巴别塔」困境。 以往，视觉模态、音频模态和文本处理模态仿佛说着截然不同的语言，每次调度全局信息都需要极其繁琐的翻译对齐。 Gemini Embedding 2 的出现，等同于在数据世界推行了一门通用语，其核心突破体现在以下几个维度。 斩断转录节点，消除信息损耗黑洞 「原生」二字的含金量在于拒绝任何形式的妥协与翻译。 早期让 AI 「听懂」播客，必须外挂语音识别模型先转成纯文本，导致说话人略带反讽的语调、背景里刺耳的警笛声等「冗余信息」瞬间灰飞烟灭。 如今，模型直接「生吞」 MP3 音轨的波形与高分辨率图片的原始像素，那些只可意会不可言传的感官细节，终于在数学空间里找到了精确的坐标。 打通统一坐标系，解锁跨物种搜索 当五大数据类型被压缩进同一个高维向量空间，数据的边界被彻底消解。 开发者能够轻易实现极其复杂的跨模态检索： 抛入一段发动机异响的录音，系统会瞬间从海量的 PDF 维修手册中精准定位到故障部件的图纸； 上传一张极具后现代风格的建筑照片，系统能直接召回配乐风格极其相似的影视片段。 检索完全进化成了纯粹的「语义和意图共振」。 架构大简化，工程复杂度断崖式下跌 过去拼凑一个多模态检索应用，工程师简直要经历一场噩梦。 维护多个独立模型、花重金购买隔离的向量数据库、再编写极度复杂的重排算法试图强行对齐各类得分，这种草台班子式的架构不仅延迟极高，且极易崩溃。 现在，这堆乱如麻的基建被浓...

Aluminum rose for a third day as the war in the Middle East dragged on, threatening deeper supply disruptions from local producers. Prices settled at the highest close since April 2022 on Wednesday after the conflict forced output cuts at smelters in the region that accounts for about 9% of global output. The Strait of Hormuz remains effectively shut, preventing shipments from transiting the choke point to reach global markets. Commodity markets from energy to metals have been shaken up by the fighting between the US, Israel and Iran, which erupted on Feb. 28. Attacks have proliferated across the region as Tehran seeks to respond to waves of airstrikes. Commercial marine traffic through Hormuz has all but halted, stressing supply chains and threatening a wave of inflation. Aluminum retains significant upside, with a scope for a move toward $3,700 a ton, BMI, a unit of Fitch Solutions Inc., said in a note. The spike in premiums in the US and Europe reflects “mounting concern among western buyers,” it added. “Recent developments materially heighten the likelihood of a more acute supply squeeze,” with the global market expected to move into a deeper deficit of 1.06 million tons this year, BMI said. Signs of a tightening market are emerging, with substantial orders to withdraw stockpiles from the London Metal Exchange’s warehouse network. Mercuria Energy Group Ltd. was the main trader involved in requests for nearly 100,000 tons of aluminum from LME warehouses in Malaysia earlier this week, according to people familiar with the move. Aluminum rose 1% to $3,492.50a ton on the LME at 10:55 a.m. in Shanghai. Other metals were mixed, with copper down 0.6% at $12,957.50.
