The Austrian tenor is making his Royal Opera debut as Siegfried in the third instalment of of the Ring Cycle. He explains why operetta prepared him for the opera’s epic demands, and why Wagner’s loutish adolescent is more hero than zero Andreas Schager bursts through the door, crosses the room in a single stride and engulfs my hand in a firm clasp. “Sorry I’m sweaty,” he grins. “I’ve been forging Nothung!” It’s a midweek lunchtime in a cluttered back office at London’s Royal Opera House, but hammering out a magical sword is all in a morning’s work for the world’s most in-demand Wagnerian leading man. Currently in rehearsals for Siegfried – the third panel of Covent Garden’s new staging of the Ring Cycle – Schager plans to spend the afternoon slaying a dragon and rescuing his beloved from an enchanted fire (after a spot of lunch, that is). But for now the tenor has a moment to catch his breath. At 54, Schager is an anomaly in the opera world. Most careers – particularly ones singing Wagner, whose scores are longer and whose roles are bigger and more demanding than any other – are built over decades. As veteran agent Boris Orlob puts it: “You see Wagner singers coming from miles away, it’s a gradual process. You take the stairs, not the elevator.” Continue reading...
Digital Optimus由特斯拉与马斯克旗下的xAI联合开发,计划在6个月左右面向用户体验开放。其适用于所有配备AI4的汽车,核心引擎采用xAI自主研发的Grok大模型。该模型扮演“总指挥/导航者”的角色,凭借对世界的深度理解来指挥Digital Optimus;后者负责处理并执行过去5秒内的实时电脑屏幕视频,以及键盘和鼠标操作。马斯克强调,这将是唯一真正具备实时智能的AI系统,理论上可以模...
Digital Optimus由特斯拉与马斯克旗下的xAI联合开发,计划在6个月左右面向用户体验开放。其适用于所有配备AI4的汽车,核心引擎采用xAI自主研发的Grok大模型。该模型扮演“总指挥/导航者”的角色,凭借对世界的深度理解来指挥Digital Optimus;后者负责处理并执行过去5秒内的实时电脑屏幕视频,以及键盘和鼠标操作。马斯克强调,这将是唯一真正具备实时智能的AI系统,理论上可以模拟一家完整公司 的运作。此外,他透露已在超级充电站部署数百万个专用数字Optimus单元,整合约7吉瓦可用功率资源。在机器人硬件方面,马斯克在Abundance Summit高端科技峰会上宣布,Optimus Gen3将于2026年夏季投产,并于2027年实现大规模量产。特斯拉同步推进新一代机器人生产工厂的设计,未来目标是不断更新机器人版本。近日,在得州奥斯汀举办的自动驾驶快闪活动中,多台Optimus人形机器人原型机及其充电桩亮相,Optimus不是静态展品或预录视频,而是实时在吧台/柜台后“工作”,拿起瓶装水递给排队观众,甚至与人握手、简单互动。现场视频显示,它能稳定站立、精细抓取物体、应对人群的随机动作(如伸手接水、等待顺序),动作流畅且人性化。 Terafab项目将在3月21日启动,旨在打造专注于人工智能芯片制造的工厂。该设施对标汽车超级工厂模式,但聚焦于垂直整合的芯片产能,规划集成逻辑芯片、存储芯片与先进封装于一体,并瞄准2纳米先进制程,远期目标为实现年产1000亿至2000亿颗芯片,以缓解FSD与Optimus规模化部署带来的芯片供应瓶颈。在芯片产品线方面,特斯拉正在设计的第五代人工智能芯片AI5,其内存容量为上一代AI4的9倍,原始计算能力则是其10倍,将广泛应用于电动汽车、人形机器人、AI训练及数据中心,目标于2027年量产。同时,AI6芯片已处于早期开发阶段,将主要面向Optimus机器人及数据中心计算;后续规划中的AI7、AI8、AI9版本则将逐步拓展至太空级AI计算领域,芯片设计的目标迭代周期为9个月。马斯克强调,现有代工厂产能已无法满足特斯拉未来的算力需求,自建芯片产能是实现技术闭环的必选路径。 投资建议 当前机器人板块整体位置整体较低,T链催化逐步推进,Optimus Gen3有望于近期发布,看好板块持续性行情。建议在Gen3发布前优先布局T链确定...
