《科创板日报》3月5日（评论员 田野） 没有出现转机，林俊旸还是离职。 今天（3月5日）中午，阿里巴巴CEO吴泳铭向通义实验室成员发布内部邮件称，公司已决定批准林俊旸同学的辞职，同时公司将成立基础模型支持小组。 就在马云现身云谷学校、罕见召集阿里与蚂蚁核心管理层畅谈AI未来的第二天凌晨，阿里千问大模型核心负责人林俊旸宣布卸任，一石掀起千层浪，有人觉得人才流动很正带，有人则惋惜，更多公众关注的是，他为什么要走？ 这位“最年轻P10”的离开，不仅是一个核心技术骨干的离职，也引发一个思考：在AI技术狂飙的时代，大厂的组织力如何与前沿创新力适配？ 林俊旸的出走，暂且不论个人情绪影响因素，阿里在AI组织方面的变阵是原因之一。就在他离职前夕，阿里刚将大模型品牌统一为“千问”，在全球开源榜单上“霸榜”，还开源了多款小尺寸模型，一切看似欣欣向荣。然而，热闹的表象下，组织调整的暗流正在涌动：千问团队计划按预训练、后训练、多模态等维度拆分成独立团队，而林俊旸主张各环节紧密协作。 这或许可以看做是一场“技术驱动主义”与“商业现实主义”的正面碰撞。 林俊旸是开源社区的活跃推动者，千问凭借开源策略赢得全球开发者口碑，累计下载量突破10亿。但在阿里层面，3800亿的AI基建投入需要回报，春节红包大战的硝烟尚未散去，千问APP在下载量大幅上升，但豆包等AI产品的活跃和强势地位依旧。 当指标考核从技术影响力转向整个产品，当组织架构从“垂直整合小团队”拆解为“多模块协同”，林俊旸所代表的“研发驱动”意识，与阿里基因里根深蒂固的业务导向，爆发冲突也在情理之中。 站在大阿里角度，其组织力是围绕着业务版图生长起来的。业务讲究协同、讲究资源整合、讲究运营效率。但当这套逻辑被移植到AI研发中时，摩擦便产生了。 林俊旸曾在一个讨论中提到，中国的算力更多被现有业务交付占据，用于前沿探索的资源相对有限——这或许正是“业务驱动”与“技术驱动”两种逻辑的冲突。 当然，任何组织调整有其合理性，阿里管理层不会为了一个人去造成总体技术架构的不稳定。阿里需要的不只是技术权威，更是能将AI融入庞大商业体系的整合者。从“通云哥”（通义+云+平头哥）黄金三角的提出可以看出，阿里的战略偏向于“比模型”转向“拼体系”。站在这个逻辑，林俊旸的离开，或许有其必然性。 没有人能否认林俊旸对千问的贡献，但也不必神化一个人的作用——没有阿里提供的...

Restored documentary records a historic independence day show in Accra, with electrifying performances from Tina Turner, Wilson Pickett and more This exuberant, distinctively high-minded documentary, now restored, comes from the Oscar-winning though now somewhat overlooked film-maker Denis Sanders , made just one year after his renowned 1970 film Elvis: That’s the Way It Is, about Elvis Presley in Las Vegas . Soul to Soul is a record of an epic independence day concert in Accra, Ghana, in 1971, given by American and Ghanaian musicians. Ghana was chosen as it was the first sub-Saharan African nation to gain independence from Britain. Among the US contingent were Tina Turner, Wilson Pickett, Santana, the Staple Singers and the Voices of East Harlem. The concert and film can be seen now as part of the American Black consciousness debate of the time, which specifically prized the concept of the African motherland and the spiritual importance of returning to the wellspring of Black American inspiration. With its shots of the musicians aboard the plane to Ghana, and the rich and teeming ambient material showing Accra’s street life, you might find yourself reminded of Leon Gast’s When We Were Kings, about the Ali/Foreman fight in what was then Zaire, although without the talking-head perspective. There are richly enjoyable performances, and the extreme closeup shots of Tina Turner are where its energy is at its most visceral. Continue reading...

The Trump administration’s attempt to sink a UN resolution demanding countries act on the climate crisis has caused cuts to the proposal but hasn’t entirely killed it, according to the tiny Pacific island country spearheading the effort. The US has demanded that Vanuatu, an archipelago in the south Pacific, drop its UN draft resolution that calls on the world to implement a landmark international court of justice (ICJ) ruling from last year that countries could face paying reparations if they fail to stem the climate crisis. Vanuatu, one of several Pacific island countries that consider themselves existentially threatened by the climate crisis despite doing little to cause it, said it had to remove sections of its proposed resolution in the hope that a reduced version could be adopted at the UN in a vote later this month. “Having the Trump administration actively intervening in the market to stop the phase-out of fossil fuels is very frustrating, it’s beyond what you’d expect a government to do,” Ralph Regenvanu, Vanuatu’s minister for climate change adaption, said. “It’s going to have a huge harmful effect on the world and future generations.” The resolution to fulfill the opinion issued by the ICJ is non-binding but “could pose a major threat to US industry”, the Trump administration said in guidance to American embassies and consulates last month. “President Trump has delivered a very clear message: that the UN and many nations of the world have gone wildly off track, exaggerating climate change into the world’s greatest threat,” the US state department cable added. This opposition, alongside those of other major fossil fuel producers such as Saudi Arabia and Russia, has resulted in the proposed UN resolution being watered down. The resolution previously called for countries to submit a registry of the “loss and damage” they suffer from the impacts of an overheating world, such as storms, floods and droughts. This accounting of damages was strenuously opposed by ...

Audrey Crowley, Alpine skiing (standing) The first-time Paralympian only turned 19 at the start of March, but she has been in the news for her skiing prowess since she was a second-grader. She’s also going to Italy on a roll, having reached the podium in two World Cup downhill races in early February. In the 2024-25 season, she had two World Cup podium finishes in giant slalom, and she took bronze in giant slalom and fifth in slalom at the world championships, where the other three events were canceled. Though she was born without her lower right arm, she was still an honorable mention All-State softball player in Colorado. Jake Adicoff, biathlon/cross-country skiing (visually impaired) In 2018, Adicoff graduated from Bowdoin, where he competed alongside able-bodied athletes on the cross-country ski team, and won silver at the Paralympics in the same year. Then he retired. Three years later, he reconsidered and was back in time to compete in 2022, where he took two more silvers and earned a relay gold with a dramatic anchor leg to rally the team from fourth place to first. The 2024 World Cup overall champion has an uncanny world championship record – nine individual races, nine medals (four gold), including two wins in last year’s events. Oksana Masters, biathlon/cross-country skiing (sitting) A fixture in both summer and winter Paralympics for 14 years, Masters is looking for her 20th Paralympic medal and 10th gold. In the summer editions, the Ukraine-born athlete has four cycling golds and one rowing bronze. The rest of her medals have come in winter sports – three gold in cross-county, two in biathlon. The 2020 Laureus World Sports Award winner for disability sports missed the 2024-25 season while dealing with a bone infection in her leg but returned to World Cup competition this season and dominated, finishing no lower than second in any individual cross-country event and winning five of her last seven biathlon World Cup races. Masters currently has all the Para...

In this article LLY Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT The Eli Lilly logo appears on the company’s office in San Diego, California, U.S., Nov. 21, 2025. Mike Blake | Reuters Eli Lilly on Thursday launched a new program designed to help more employers cover obesity drugs in the U.S., targeting a major barrier to access for patients. Lilly and its chief rival, Novo Nordisk , have moved to slash the cash prices of their popular obesity injections for those who want to pay entirely out-of-pocket. But employer coverage of obesity drugs remains uneven due to high costs, leaving roughly half of people with commercial insurance unable to start or stay on treatment, Lilly said in a release. List prices for Lilly's weight loss and diabetes treatments, Zepbound and Mounjaro, top $1,000 per month. Nearly one-fifth of firms with over 200 workers, including 43% with 5,000 or more workers, said they cover GLP-1 drugs for weight loss as of October, according to a survey by the Peterson-KFF Health System Tracker. "I think we'll learn in the coming months ahead, if this is a solution that maybe enables some employers who have been sitting on the sidelines to opt into obesity coverage for their employees," Kevin Hern, senior vice president of Lilly Employer, said in an interview. He added that some employers could opt to add coverage in the upcoming months, while others could wait until 2027. Eli Lilly's new "Employer Connect" platform gives employers more flexibility in how they cover obesity treatments, aiming to broaden employee access to the drugs at low out-of-pocket costs, while also limiting expenses for companies. Hern said the program addresses some of the "core tensions" for employers when considering coverage of obesity drugs, including transparency around drug prices, flexibility in benefits design and the ability to choose among independent administrators. Through the program, employers can pay a net discounted price of $449 per month for a new multi-dose for...

Planes are always urgently sought out when a crisis strikes somewhere in the world. Since the US-Israel war against Iran started on Saturday, demand has outstripped supply with thousands of people stranded in the Middle East frantically searching for an exit route. While many are reliant on governments to dispatch aircraft to evacuate them, those with the financial means can look at a more expensive and much speedier option – a private jet. Matt Purton, the director of aviation services at UK-based global company Air Charter Service, is the man some of them have on speed dial. Purton not only organises for the rich and the famous to be ferried around the world, he also assists governments, fielding requests from everyone from the UK Home Office to the US government seeking planes to deport migrants or carry out evacuations from collapsed countries such as Libya. While his company does not accept all requests for private planes from anyone who can pay, he admits that the latest Middle East war has not been bad for business. “Requests for planes are probably up 200-300% on what’s usual for this time of year,” he says. “We’re going gangbusters.” While the company does not automatically inflate prices at times like this, the fact that demand outstrips supply means that its prices are aligned with the current market rate. Most government work is done for a pre-agreed fixed fee. He is cautious about how the war is going to unfold irrespective of any impact on his company. “The air corridors are quite narrow as it is,” Purton said. “If any more get closed down it will make getting planes in and out of the region much more difficult. The only constant in this situation at the moment is the fluidity of the whole thing. It feels like turning up after an earthquake with a dustpan and brush. “We’re getting calls from absolutely everyone – from stranded honeymooners in Dubai and holidaymakers who want to club together to hire a plane to get home, to corporates and wealthy indivi...

Victoria Hiegel, personal assistant to a celebrity client she cannot name because of a nondisclosure agreement, spent 13 February ferrying Valentine’s Day cookies across Manhattan. Her boss “doesn’t love chocolate,” so Hiegel had to hunt for a bakery that could swap the batch’s chocolate chunks for sour hearts. She posted part of her search to TikTok, where she received thousands of views from people keen to watch her cater to the whims of the rich and famous. Hiegel, 26, is a microcelebrity in her own right. Wearing her blond hair in carefully styled waves and speaking with a practised ease, she has obvious star appeal. But it is her career that fascinates her 1m followers. “I was initially really scared about posting,” said Hiegel who started working for her current employer four years ago, citing the NDA. They’ve since compromised: “I never film around her apartment, and I can never say what she does for a living. That would be really bad. It would be even worse if people knew who her husband was,” she said, teasing. While commenters are sure it’s Anna Wintour she works for, Hiegel said she will never tell. “I can’t even walk with [my employer] in public any more, because then people will know.” View image in fullscreen Victoria Hiegel. Photograph: Courtesy of Victoria Hiegel Hiegel is among the most prominent figures in an emerging class of service workers – including private chefs, assistants and stylists, most of them women – who are monetizing the backstage maintenance of celebrity by documenting their work across TikTok and Instagram. They have influencerized tasks once defined by discretion: mixing a “six-step drink regimen” for the “funniest movie star in Hollywood”; pocketing a $1,000 tip from rapper Big Boogie; eating Popeyes with Ray J; and even degreasing Meghan Trainor’s camera lens. Other parts of the job remain invisible by necessity, as in the case of Hiegel’s mystery employer – although ultimately, all of the conjecture only helps her engagement. ...

In this article Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Kevin Warsh, President Donald Trump's pick to be the next chairman of the Federal Reserve, at the Sohn Investment Conference in New York, May 8, 2017. Brendan McDermid | Reuters The war in Iran has caused oil prices to spike, prompting concerns about a resurgence of inflation . That has led Federal Reserve officials to raise the possibility that they may pause the Fed's recent efforts to lower interest rates, or potentially even raise rates. But that is the Fed as it's now known. The central bank is likely to soon have a new leader who sees inflation very differently. Kevin Warsh , if confirmed by the Senate , would almost certainly be comfortable lowering rates despite a spike in oil prices. Warsh is President Donald Trump 's nominee for the next chair of the Federal Reserve. He would replace Jerome Powell, whose term expires May 15. Trump officially sent Warsh's nomination to the Senate on Wednesday. Warsh said in the run-up to his selection that he believed interest rates should be lower than the current federal funds rate of 3.5% to 3.75%, and Trump has made clear he chose Warsh because they share a desire for lower rates. A surge in inflation could be a difficult challenge for a nominee who needs to thread the needle of Senate confirmation while retaining the president's support.

In lawsuit, Minnesota accuses Trump administration of 'weaponizing' Medicaid funding toggle caption Tom Williams/CQ-Roll Call, Inc./Getty Images Minnesota filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration this week, saying the federal government has "weaponized Medicaid against Minnesota as political punishment." At issue is approximately $250 million that the state spent on Medicaid last summer. The administration said it is holding off on matching that money amid allegations of fraud. Medicaid is the public health insurance program for low-income people. It's a state and federal partnership, and for every dollar spent in Medicaid by a state, the federal government matches that money. Last week, the day after President Trump announced a "war on fraud" headed by Vice President JD Vance, he and administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Dr. Mehmet Oz addressed Minnesota's Medicaid funds at a press conference. Sponsor Message "We have decided to temporarily halt certain amounts of Medicaid funding that are going to the state of Minnesota in order to ensure that the state of Minnesota takes its obligations seriously to be good stewards of the American people's tax money," Vance explained. Minnesota's Deputy Health Commissioner John Connolly said he was stunned by that announcement. "Minnesota has been acting aggressively to combat fraud," he told reporters in a press briefing this week. "The narrative that additional punitive funding deferrals are necessary to ensure that we are serious about this work does not reflect what we have done." Connolly said that, in fact, the state submitted a corrective action plan to the federal government and have been anxiously awaiting feedback on it for weeks. "We are adhering to the timelines, the milestones, the deliverables and we are on schedule with those," he said. Last year, federal prosecutors charged several people in Minnesota with Medicaid fraud, and suggested fraudulent charges in Minnesota may ...

The bombs fell in our name before any of us knew. Then the president saw fit to inform us. Legal scholars and politicians alike began debating whether they were constitutional. Markets responded within hours. Cities across the United States moved to heightened alert amid fears of retaliation. The sequence matters. In a constitutional system built on checks and balances, that system is supposed to constrain the use of military force before it unfolds. Instead, constraint is arriving afterward – if at all. Lawmakers in the US are now invoking the war powers resolution. Constitutional scholars argue the strikes stretch or violate its limits. In private briefings, Pentagon officials reportedly told members of Congress there was no intelligence showing Iran was about to attack US forces first. That directly contradicts the urgency Donald Trump offered the public as justification. When Congress and the rest of us dispute the justification for emergency action, the system should slow down. Instead, the president, in tandem with Israel, deployed force and the debate followed. This is not only a question about Iran. The regression there is obvious: from a historic nuclear agreement reached under Barack Obama to acts of war (and possible war crimes). We must also consider whether the guardrails around presidential power still function as anything more than decoration. In theory, they do. Congress declares war. The war powers resolution attempts to limit unilateral hostilities. Impeachment exists as a check against abuse. And even the possibility of criminal liability for egregious official acts has historically operated as a distant but real constraint. These mechanisms are designed to prevent escalation, not merely to criticize it after the fact. Those guardrails have weakened in practice, however. We see war powers invoked reactively. Impeachment has become structurally partisan; it is now more admonishment than accountability. The US supreme court’s absurd decision to expa...

According to CoinGecko, there are more than 17,600 different cryptocurrencies in circulation, with a combined value of $2.4 trillion. The world's largest cryptocurrency is Bitcoin (BTC +2.41%), and it accounts for a whopping $1.5 trillion of that. Crypto markets are currently in the throes of a sharp sell-off, which has sent Bitcoin plummeting by more than 40% from last October's all-time high. Investors are trimming their exposure to highly speculative assets amid rising political and economic upheaval, which could lead to further downside in the crypto market. However, one of the world's biggest bulls isn't flinching. Michael Saylor just bought another $204 million worth of Bitcoin through his treasury company, Strategy (MSTR +10.27%), which now owns roughly 3.6% of all supply outstanding. Should investors also buy the dip, or is more pain on the way? Bitcoin failed a key test last year People buy Bitcoin for many different reasons. Some are holding out hope it will become a widely used currency, despite a stark lack of adoption so far. Others, like Saylor, believe it will become the reserve currency for tokenized assets, transforming the global financial system in the process. A growing number of investors also think Bitcoin is a legitimate store of value, to the point that it's sometime referred to as a digital version of gold.

A new worry is rippling across the stock market lately: entire businesses, not just their employees, may be thrown out of work. While most economists say fears of an AI job apocalypse are overblown, seismic shifts have happened in the past after big tech breakthroughs. The IT revolution of the 1990s led to a surge in productivity that sped up the US economy for several years. It also rendered companies or even industries largely redundant — from travel agents and stockbrokers to classified advertising and newspapers, or video rental stores. Economists expect artificial intelligence will deliver higher productivity, which is key to raising growth rates in the long run. But investors are growing nervous about what damage might be done on the way, in capital markets as well as labor markets – especially because AI threatens disruptions on a broader scale than the internet boom. “Is this time bigger? Yes,” says Anton Korinek , an AI expert at the University of Virginia – perhaps by a factor of 10. “The key difference from the 1990s is that the internet only disrupted information distribution,” says Korinek. “AI disrupts cognitive production at large. That’s a much bigger economic surface area.” Ultimate Promise To be sure, all of this is early-days speculation over a fast-changing and largely untested technology, whose ultimate promise is to make workers more productive. Productivity is essentially a measure of how much output workers can deliver with the available tools, so it tends to surge upward when someone invents important new ones like the internet or AI. Data for the last three months of 2025 is due out later Thursday. Economists typically don’t read too much into one quarter, since the numbers tend to jump around. Still, the trend has been ticking up. After big swings in the pandemic period, productivity has grown at an average pace of 2.6% since the start of 2023. That’s more than double the average for the decade through 2019. There’s intense debate over how...

Social media giant Meta is pouring money into Illinois’ Democratic statehouse primary races as the company behind Facebook and Instagram faces a wave of state-level proposals that could likely affect its bottom line. After putting $45 million into a super PAC last year to influence state elections in favor of tech-friendly candidates nationwide, the company has begun spending specifically on state races supporting Republicans in Texas and Democrats in Illinois. In Illinois, Meta is bankrolling $750,000 for a new super PAC, Making Our Tomorrow, according to state campaign disclosure reports. In less than two weeks, the super PAC has spent nearly $340,000 on mailers and digital advertising to support four Democratic state House primary candidates — Paul Kendrick in the Lincoln Park-area’s 12th District, Adam Braun in the Uptown neighborhood’s 13th District, Aja Kearney in the South Side and south suburban’s 34th District and Rep. Jaime Andrade in the Northwest Side’s 40th District. Andrade’s race is the only one involving an incumbent as he faces an upstart progressive challenger backed by the Chicago Teachers Union. Opponents of the candidates being backed by Making Our Tomorrow, some of whom have enthusiastically supported legislation that could raise digital ad taxes or efforts to stymie the proliferation of data centers in Illinois, said they are worried the Meta-backed candidates will go along with the company’s interests if elected, a charge those reached by the Tribune denied. Braun, a former Illinois deputy attorney general, said he doesn’t know why Meta is supporting his candidacy. But he said the company’s backing, which has totaled more than $106,000 in campaign expenses through Tuesday, won’t influence his beliefs. He said he supports strong AI regulations and that he previously worked with Attorney General Kwame Raoul to sue Meta for targeting children in its business model. “If they think that they can use this IE (independent expenditure) committee to c...

(Bloomberg) — A new worry is rippling across the stock market lately: entire businesses, not just their employees, may be thrown out of work. While most economists say fears of an AI job apocalypse are overblown, seismic shifts have happened in the past after big tech breakthroughs. The IT revolution of the 1990s led to a surge in productivity that sped up the US economy for several years. It also rendered companies or even industries largely redundant — from travel agents and stockbrokers to classified advertising and newspapers, or video rental stores. Most Read from Bloomberg Economists expect artificial intelligence will deliver higher productivity, which is key to raising growth rates in the long run. But investors are growing nervous about what damage might be done on the way, in capital markets as well as labor markets – especially because AI threatens disruptions on a broader scale than the internet boom. “Is this time bigger? Yes,” says Anton Korinek, an AI expert at the University of Virginia – perhaps by a factor of 10. “The key difference from the 1990s is that the internet only disrupted information distribution,” says Korinek. “AI disrupts cognitive production at large. That’s a much bigger economic surface area.” Ultimate Promise To be sure, all of this is early-days speculation over a fast-changing and largely untested technology, whose ultimate promise is to make workers more productive. Productivity is essentially a measure of how much output workers can deliver with the available tools, so it tends to surge upward when someone invents important new ones like the internet or AI. Data for the last three months of 2025 is due out later Thursday. Economists typically don’t read too much into one quarter, since the numbers tend to jump around. Still, the trend has been ticking up. After big swings in the pandemic period, productivity has grown at an average pace of 2.6% since the start of 2023. That’s more than double the average for the decade through...

Mainland China and Hong Kong should ease listing rules for biotechnology companies and lower takeover thresholds for listed firms to capitalise on renewed foreign interest in the healthcare sector, venture capitalist Nisa Leung said. “Besides artificial intelligence, Premier Li Qiang also highlighted biomedicine in the ‘two sessions’ annual government work report,” said Leung, a former managing partner at Qiming Venture Partners, speaking in a sideline interview during China’s annual meetings of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and the National People’s Congress (NPC). “We are paying attention to medical insurance and commercial insurance, but at the same time we are also looking at how biopharmaceutical companies can expand overseas,” said Leung, who is a member of the CPPCC. Advertisement “Hong Kong has also become a very important [capital] centre for AI and healthcare,” she added, citing the successful listing of Insilico Medicine last year in Hong Kong, which she described as a milestone for the sector. The AI-driven drug discovery company raised HK$2.28 billion (US$290 million) in the share sale. However, she noted that regulatory bottlenecks were slowing the pipeline of new listings.

荷兰国际 集团的Chris Turner在一份报告中表示，随着中东冲突持续导致能源价格再次上涨，欧元依然脆弱。“股市又将迎来疲软的一天，其中欧洲股市表现不及美国股市，这可能会使欧元回到1.1530-1.1550美元区间。“他说，对欧元而言，唯一的利好可能来自稍后公布的Challenger， Gray & Christmas数据显示美国裁员人数高于预期，且美元下跌。他说，在欧元区增长前景减弱的背景下，欧元应会继续承压，直到能源危机得到解决。据伦敦证券交易所集团的数据，欧元下跌0.1%，至1.1626美元，周二曾触及三个月低点1.1528美元。 责任编辑：何云
