Xiaomi officially announced that the fifth Lei Jun annual speech "Courage" will be held on July 19
Yesterday, Xiaomi officially announced that the group’s chairman and CEO Lei Jun will hold the fifth "Lei Jun Annual Speech" at 7 pm on July 19 (this Friday). The theme of the speech is "Courage", and the story of Xiaomi's three years of car manufacturing will be shared.
Lei Jun posted on Weibo last night about Xiaomi's courage in making cars, and said that before making the final decision, he read a sentence in the book "When the Stars Shine": "A person's belief in miracles is always the first prerequisite for a miracle to happen." This sentence made him make the final decision.
It is worth mentioning that from the pre-heating poster, it can be seen that Lei Jun is holding a vertical folding mobile phone, which should be Xiaomi’s first vertical folding mobile phone MIX Flip, which is about to be launched. The word "LEICA" can be vaguely seen on the hinge, and it is expected to be released at Lei Jun’s annual speech.
Another product that is expected to be released at Lei Jun's speech is the Xiaomi Mi MIX Fold 4 horizontal folding phone, whose appearance and some parameters were officially released yesterday. According to reports, the Xiaomi Mi MIX Fold 4 is known as the "full-equipped flagship", with a thickness of 9.47 mm and a weight of 226 grams when folded. It will be equipped with Leica Optical Summilux quad-camera, including a 5x periscope, dual telephoto and dual macro configuration, as well as 50W wireless charging, IPX8 waterproof, two-way satellite communication and other configurations.
New smart wearable products such as Xiaomi Mi Band 9, Xiaomi Buds 5, Xiaomi Watch S4 Sport and Redmi K70 Extreme Edition mobile phone will also be released in Lei Jun's speech. The Redmi K70 Extreme Edition will go on sale as soon as it is released.
Apple, Nvidia and other technology companies were exposed for using YouTube content to train AI without authorization
Wired magazine reported that technology companies including Apple, Nvidia, Anthropic, Salesforce, and others were found to have used thousands of YouTube videos to train their artificial intelligence models without permission.
The report revealed that these technology companies are integrating subtitles of various YouTube videos into their training data sets. The affected creators include bloggers MKBHD, MrBeast, Jacksepticeye, talk show hosts Stephen Colbert, John Oliver and Jimmy Kimmel, educational channels such as MIT, Khan Academy, Harvard University, and media such as the Wall Street Journal and NPR.
It is reported that a non-profit organization called Eleuther AI downloaded the subtitle files of these contents as part of the large data set "The Pile" they released. Although their actions may be to provide training materials for small developers and scholars, these data sets are also used by large companies.
It is worth mentioning that Apple and other companies did not download and scrape this data themselves, but it was done by Eleuther AI, so technically speaking, it was Eleuther AI that actually violated YouTube's terms.
It is reported that ByteDance will announce the progress of AI model technology this week
According to an exclusive report by Titanium Media AGI, the ByteDance team will announce for the first time on a large scale this Friday, July 19, the technological progress of new artificial intelligence models such as Vincent images and Sora-like new videos. In particular, it will propose innovative technologies in the areas of long videos and high dynamics, and may directly target the Sora Vincent video model.
Sources revealed that ByteDance has set AI big models as the highest level of the group's P0. There are also reports that multiple internal teams such as Tik Tok and Jianying are also developing AI video model applications, which are also expected to be announced in the near future.
In contrast, another short video giant, Kuaishou, has made rapid progress in the field of AI video big models, with products such as Keling video big model application and Ketuwenshengtu big model. Kuaishou revealed that the number of users who applied for the video generation big model Keling platform exceeded 500,000, the number of users who activated it exceeded 300,000, and the number of videos generated exceeded 7 million.
Musk asked Tesla to solve battery development problems by the end of the year
The Information reported that people familiar with the matter revealed that in May this year, Tesla CEO Elon Musk told the 4680 cylindrical battery team to achieve cost reductions by the end of the year and solve a difficult technical problem with the battery that could cause the battery to collapse during use.
Another media outlet, LateAuto, learned that the design of the 4680 battery with a completely dry electrode has been finalized, and the next step will be to fully improve production yield and efficiency.
4680 refers to the battery's 46 mm diameter and 60 mm height. Musk has high hopes for this battery, which he described as a "transformative" innovative technology. In 2020, Musk said these batteries will be ready for a new $25,000 car in 2023.
However, because battery technology has not met standards, the plan for the $25,000 new car has had to be postponed several times. In February this year, news came out that the plan to launch this model had been shelved.
It is reported that Tesla's 4680 battery production capacity has been greatly expanded. On the basis of one production line and one assembly line, two additional assembly lines have been built, and research on improving the battery's production and performance is also being conducted. The 4680 battery currently produced by Tesla is a "compromise version", with only the lower-cost negative electrode using a dry electrode.
Huawei's first mobile movie "The Transformation" is online, shot with Pura 70 series mobile phones
Huawei's first Kung Fu dance mobile movie "Transformation" is online. The short film is 3 minutes and 10 seconds long and was directed by director Zhao Xiaoding. The entire film was shot using Huawei Pura 70 series mobile phones.
Yesterday, Huawei simultaneously released the behind-the-scenes footage of the creation. The creative team said that the "flash shot" function of the Pura 70 series was used during the shooting to capture some dynamic images of jumping, spinning, dodging, hair swinging, clothing shape changes, etc., and the images were very clear. The team also mentioned that due to the high reflectivity and complex light changes in the scene due to the fog and clouds, the phone's ability to record the high light ratio of highlights and dark areas exceeded the team's imagination.
From the behind-the-scenes video, we can see that the team used other peripherals during the filming process, but the main shooting device was the Huawei Pura 70 mobile phone.
Xiaomi Thanksgiving Season event starts, 80 models of mobile phone batteries are replaced with 20% off
Yesterday, Xiaomi announced the launch of the "Xiaomi Thanksgiving Season" event, which will be held from 10:00 on July 16 to 24:00 on July 25.
Xiaomi's Thanksgiving service discounts cover mobile phones, laptops, air conditioners, washing machines, range hoods and other products:
"Daily Economic News" reporter exclusively learned that JD Retail will integrate all the resources of the site to launch a sustainable low-price project "JD Super 18". The event will start in July and will be held on a monthly basis from 8 pm on the 17th of each month to the whole day on the 18th. Each issue will launch some high-value products at a fixed price of 18 yuan. The first event was launched today (17th).

The products will not be released directly, but will be put on the shelves in batches at irregular times and locations. Users need to browse the event page frequently to have a chance to grab them.
It is reported that this is not the first time that JD.com has tried this marketing model. A few years ago, it launched a similar "Dark Moon and High Wind" event, which was only held in the middle of the night and focused on 3C digital products. It also required users to browse online frequently to discover it.

In response to this, OPPO told Sina Technology that "OPPO laid off Huawei employees, and all Huawei employees in the factory system had been laid off by the end of last year" is false information, and any reports based on this assumption are not true.

Douyin is testing the "convenient price" service, which will push low-price group purchases within 1 km after payment
Sina Technology has exclusively learned that Douyin Local Life is currently testing the "Convenient Price" function. After a user pays for a group purchase order on Douyin, the order page will push other group purchase products within 1 km of the area, and the prices will be lower than the regular group purchase prices.
Regarding the related function, the official said "consume along the way and enjoy exclusive discounts", and an insider of Douyin confirmed that this function is currently being tested.
Industry insiders analyzed that the Convenient Price is a competition between users and merchants. Through the Convenient Price, more merchants will be further attracted to join Douyin's local life, and users will complete more consumption on Douyin because of these subsidies, making Douyin's "store finds people" model more accurate.
Tech Planet also exclusively reported that Douyin Mall App launched a price comparison channel "Find a Good Price", which can find the lowest price of the same product in the mall through price comparison. Its entrance is on par with a number of core e-commerce businesses such as "Hourly Delivery".
It is reported that Douyin has modified the merchant's quotation (the lowest price promised in the event) from ≤150 yuan to ≤100 yuan, deleted the discount requirement of ≤90%, and extended the minimum price traceability period from the past 1 day to the past 14 days.

Nongfu Spring demands an apology from the Hong Kong Consumer Council
Recently, the Hong Kong Consumer Council published an article, which found that after testing 30 common bottled water samples, bottled water samples of Baishuishan and Nongfu Spring were both found to contain 3 micrograms of bromate per liter, reaching the EU's maximum limit for "ozone-treated natural mineral water and spring water", but lower than the 10 micrograms per liter standard set by the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom and the World Health Organization.
In response, Nongfu Spring sent a letter to the Hong Kong Consumer Council, stating that it had made three major mistakes: incorrect application of standards, incorrect standard judgment, and obvious subjective misleading, avoiding the conclusion of "qualified or not" and instead using the expression "reached the upper limit". Nongfu Spring asked the Hong Kong Consumer Council to clarify, apologize and eliminate the impact.
The Hong Kong Consumer Council responded that it had received the letter from Nongfu Spring and was currently studying and following up. It also stated that the focus of the article was on the cost-effectiveness of each sample and the impact of bottled water bottles on the environment, not on product safety issues.
Tesla launches creative "edamame" stickers

Tesla said that this product should be used in indoor environments. If it needs to be used in outdoor environments, it needs to be attached with the included 3M adhesive. Tesla also noted that the product cannot be adsorbed or attached to a vehicle.
