FabrikaCr Asian equities largely declined on Friday as investors booked profits in the technology sector to rotate into cyclical, economically sensitive sectors. This rotation fueled steep losses in Japan and South Korea, where high-flying semiconductor and artificial intelligence stocks extended their recent pullback. Also, r enewed tensions in the Middle East continued to weigh on sentiment. Gold traded fell below $4,450 an ounce. WTI crude futures held around $93 per barrel on Friday after losing more than 3% in the previous session. The benchmark KOSPI declined nearly 5% to around 8,210. The South Korean won fell past 1,540 per dollar, marking its weakest level since March 2009. Japan's ( NKY:IND ) fell 1.32% to close below the 66,500 mark, extending losses from the previous session . The Japanese yen has remained pinned near the critical level of 160 per dollar threshold , for a third straight session, as demand for the U. S. dollar rose amid geopolitical tensions. Japan's leaders are discussing economic reforms and market intervention to strengthen the economy and improve competitiveness. Against this backdrop of currency defense, Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda indicated the need for tighter monetary policy to address inflation risks and possible interest rate increases. Separately,Japan's foreign reserves fell by $77 billion in May, showing a significant sell-off of foreign assets. Additionally, household spending decreased only 0.5% year-over-year in April, better than expected, while average cash earnings grew to 3.5%. China's ( SHCOMP ) rose 0.07% to 4,042, hitting its lowest level since mid-April, while the Shenzhen Component dropped 1% to 15,504. Hong Kong ( HSI ) fell 1.09% to 25,165, marking its third consecutive session of losses. India ( SENSEX ) rose 0.06% to 74,545, recovering from losses in the previous session. The Indian rupee strengthened to around 95.4 per dollar. The Reserve Bank of India kept its key repo rate unchanged at 5.25% for the t...
(RTTNews) - Saputo Inc. (SAP.TO) said on Friday that its net earnings from continuing operations rose in the fourth quarter, helped by higher adjusted EBITDA and lower restructuring costs. Revenues, however, fell 5.5 percent from the prior year.

Peru’s duelling presidential hopefuls made a final pitch to voters on Thursday, capping a bruising and razor-tight race dominated by anger over rising crime and political instability. Conservative Keiko Fujimori and leftist Roberto Sanchez staged rival events in Lima ahead of Sunday’s vote, with ardent flag-waving supporters arguing their “communist” or “dictator” opponents would bring the country...
Peru’s duelling presidential hopefuls made a final pitch to voters on Thursday, capping a bruising and razor-tight race dominated by anger over rising crime and political instability. Conservative Keiko Fujimori and leftist Roberto Sanchez staged rival events in Lima ahead of Sunday’s vote, with ardent flag-waving supporters arguing their “communist” or “dictator” opponents would bring the country to ruin. “We cannot let them win with communism and terrorism,” said bandana-wearing 65-year-old...
在过去 18 个月里,超过 100 亿美元资金流入了世界模型与机器人 AI 公司中。一个值得注意的规律是,使用世界模型的公司所获得的融资规模,甚至超过了专门构建世界模型本身的公司。 毋庸置疑的是,世界模型火了。但其实际概念一直众说纷纭,让人摸不着头脑。 今早,李飞飞和 World Labs 团队发表了一篇主题为《世界模型的功能性分类》的长文。她直言,“世界模型”成为当今 AI 领域中最重要、同时也...
在过去 18 个月里,超过 100 亿美元资金流入了世界模型与机器人 AI 公司中。一个值得注意的规律是,使用世界模型的公司所获得的融资规模,甚至超过了专门构建世界模型本身的公司。 毋庸置疑的是,世界模型火了。但其实际概念一直众说纷纭,让人摸不着头脑。 今早,李飞飞和 World Labs 团队发表了一篇主题为《世界模型的功能性分类》的长文。她直言,“世界模型”成为当今 AI 领域中最重要、同时也最被过度使用的术语之一。上个月,MoE Capital 的 Henry Yin 和 Naomi Xia 也在博客中表示,大多数被冠以“世界模型”之名的东西根本不是真正的世界模型。 在这个当下,李飞飞这篇文章提供了一种难得的清晰框架,通过引入强化学习中的经典结构,完整解释了“世界模型”的定义,将当前纷繁复杂的生成模型、物理模拟系统与具身智能方法,从功能上划分为“渲染器、模拟器与规划器”三类世界模型。 对于正处于路线分化与资本竞逐中的 AI 产业而言,这不仅是一种技术分类,更像是一份关于未来主导权的路线图。在这一划分下,原本独立的不同技术路径首次被置于统一坐标系中比较。李飞飞同时指出,三者正在开始彼此融合:“当它们的边界消失时,它们将共同重塑更宏大的东西:机器智能与其所处物理世界之间的关系,这是空间智能的长期演进轨迹。” 而在她看来,“终点是一个统一的世界模型:一个基础模型,既能渲染照片级真实视图,又能生成物理准确的结构,还能规划行动序列,并根据下游需求在不同输出模式之间切换。” 她在文末点出,“语言让机器能够谈论世界。而世界模型,将让机器最终能够理解、想象、推理并与世界互动。”其背后隐含的判断也相当明确:真正决定下一阶段 AI 上限的,不是更会“说话”的模型,而是更接近物理真实的“模拟能力”。 以下是原文内容编译,我们在不改变原意的基础上进行了编辑。 世界不是由语言构成的 在此前的一篇文章中,我们曾论证,空间智能是人工智能的下一个前沿,而世界模型是通往这一目标的路径。在这里,World Labs 团队和我希望再深入一层:在如今被构建并被称为“世界模型”的众多事物中,究竟哪些功能性组件真正构成了这种能力,以及每一部分分别用于什么? 语言模型赋予机器对概念、词汇和推理的非凡掌控能力,但无论是虚拟世界还是真实世界,物理世界运行在一种完全不同的底层结构之上。语言模型学习的是文本的统计...
