Torch core technology: significant progress in the development of the company ' s second-generation computing technology

On 20 July, the Torch core Technology Bulletin made significant progress in the development of the company ' s second-generation computing technology. The second generation of NPUs, compared to the first generation, has significantly increased their calculus, supported larger model sizes and optimized the whole range of energy efficiency ratios, utilization and quantitative accuracy; the SoC chip to be used in the second generation to calculate NPUs will be officially streamed this year, and is expected to be imported in a multi-brand, multi-species scale next year. At the same time, the company has invested heavily in the development of an AI tool platform to create ecology and help its clients to adapt the AI model more efficiently; as the company ' s R&D work advances, the company ' s side AI chip application will gradually reach out to outside the audio market, and in the multibrand, multi-species, multi-calculations and multidimensional ecology, it will continue to drive the end AI from the concept of technology to the real consumer market.

The report warns that OpenAI has a serious financial black hole: a threat to drive the AI chain to collapse

On 20 July, according to fast-track technology, the world is now investing in AAI, but a well-known analyst, Ed Zitron, has recently warned that there is a heavy debt burden on AI’s leader, OpenAI, which, if declared out of business, could trigger a series of chain reactions and even trigger the detonation of an AI bubble. The financial statements of OpenAI 2025, verified by Ed Zitron in conjunction with the Financial Times, show that while the total revenue received by OpenAI in 2025 increased significantly from $3.7 billion in the previous year to $13.07 billion, total cost and cost expenditure amounted to $34 billion during the same period, with a single-year operating loss of approximately $21 billion. After taking into account the large one-time non-cash costs incurred in the transition from a non-profit organization to a profit-making entity, estimated by the parties at between $30 billion and $41.6 billion, the final net book losses of OpenAI in 2025 amounted to $38.53 billion. OpenAI is one of the largest buyers of GPU at the NVIDIA data centre and a core customer for cloud service providers such as Oracle and CoreWeave, with soft silver pledging up to tens of billions of dollars to OpenAI. If OpenAI is not in a position to pay the costs of its infrastructure partners on time in the future, the impact will immediately affect these enterprises. Zitron further stated that once AI ' s investment booms receded, memory needs would be reduced significantly, and that the current HBM deficit was largely driven by the huge demands of AI training and reasoning, and that the memory giants Samsung, SK Hercules, Migwang and Sandisk had leaned their production towards HBM, crowding out traditional DRAM and NAND flash capacity. If OpenAI shrinks its calculus input or stops expansion, GPU demand declines will be transmitted directly to HBM, and memory chips may no longer be in short supply, and these giants will be put back in shape and the whole industry will face a reshuffle。

Analyst: The Fed needs to tighten monetary policy

According to Analyst Bill Dudley, the reason for the Fed to tighten monetary policy remains strong, regardless of how high-frequency data fluctuate. First, in view of the asymmetries between the current economic situation and the two objectives of the Federal Reserve to achieve full employment and price stability, a tight monetary policy is appropriate. On the one hand, the unemployment rate has remained stable and very close to what the members of the Federal Open Market Council consider to be a level of full employment; on the other hand, inflation remains high, with core inflation indicators ranging between 2.4 and 3.3 per cent. In such cases, monetary policy should be austerity measures. Second, there is little evidence of a tightening of current monetary policy. Federal funds interest rates have remained at current or higher levels for almost four years, unemployment rates have remained fairly stable and have been at full employment levels for the past two years. If the policy is really tight, then in theory it should be seen that unemployment is rising and inflation is falling. The current strong financial market conditions also support this judgement. Thirdly, the AI investment boom also supported further tightening of monetary policy. The surge in AI spending is driving real GDP growth and pushing up prices in a number of areas, such as electricity costs and the price of semiconductor chips. While AI is expected to raise productivity and help reduce inflation in the long run, the prevailing role remains to stimulate demand and push prices up. Fourthly, the credibility of the Fed is at risk. Inflation has exceeded the Fed's target of 2 per cent for more than five consecutive years. If the Fed hesitates, market participants may think that Walsh's hard-line rhetoric is “a bluff”. The Fed should not tighten monetary policy simply to enhance its credibility against inflation. But the reality is that the Fed faces asymmetrical risks: In the coming years, if monetary policy is not sufficiently restrained to bring inflation back to 2 per cent, the costs will be higher than the costs of a slightly more restrictive policy and a posteriori proof of excessive tightening. Walsh has been high-profile in his commitment to achieving price stability and preserving the Fed’s independence, but action is far more convincing than words. While the establishment of working groups and the introduction of new ideas were positive, monetary policy could not be outsourced to outside experts or financial market participants. The Fed needs to step up its efforts to tighten monetary policy. Bill Dudley expects that the Fed will maintain monetary policy at its meeting next week, but by the fall the pressure to tighten monetary policy will be enormous. (KIM XAPP)

Cross-chain agreement Allbridge is suspended for a $1.65 million lightning attack

The Cross Chain Agreement Allbridge suspended its Cross Chain Stabilisation Currency Agreement following an attack on about $1.65 million. According to the security companies Certik and Peck Shield, the attackers used the $1.12 million lightning loan from the Solana loan agreement, Kamino, to quickly exchange USDC and USDT to manipulate the internal ratio of the mobility pool to extract assets at a favourable price. The stolen assets have been bridged to an address of the Taifeng and dispersed to multiple addresses, and it is not clear how much of the remaining assets are under the control of the attackers. Allbridge indicated that the agreement had been suspended for investigation and requested that the liquidity provider withdraw funds from the affected pool. The manipulation resulted in an imbalance in the mobility pool and created temporary arbitrage opportunities. Allbridge suffered a similar lightning attack in 2023, resulting in a loss of approximately $650,000. The company raised $2 million in 2022 to expand the bridge service and to finance security audits。

Mitsubishi yen: the probability of a further substantial increase in the pound sterling is low

Lee Hardman of Mitsubishi Union Bank noted in his report that, although the real return rate in the United Kingdom had risen with inflation adjustments and fiscal concerns had eased, there was little possibility of a further substantial increase in the pound sterling. He said: “Following the recent strong increase, we believe that the market has factored a great deal of good news into the exchange rate of the pound sterling, which will limit its further access.” As a result of the conflict between the United States and the United States, the rise in energy prices pushed up the return on British bonds. With the coming Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, committing himself to financial accountability, the market has eased initial concerns about political risks. Hardman also referred to reports that Burnham would appoint Minister of the Interior, Shabana Mahmoud, as Minister of Finance, which could further alleviate market concerns about the financial situation。
