ChatGPT search engine starts internal testing
In the early morning, OpenAI officially announced that its search product SearchGPT was open for internal testing.
OpenAI said SearchGPT aims to use the powerful ability of models to retrieve information from the network and provide users with fast and timely answers with clear and relevant sources. It is currently open to a small number of users to obtain feedback.
This internal prototype is temporary, and OpenAI said it will integrate the best parts of these features directly into ChatGPT in the future.
SearchGPT has partnered with various news media, including The Wall Street Journal, The Associated Press, and more, which can manage how they are displayed in SearchGPT. Even if these news sites choose not to be used for large model training, they can still appear in search results.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman also revealed in response to netizens that GPT-4o's voice function will launch an Alpha version to members next week.
Dong Yuhui resigned from Oriental Selection and became independent
Yesterday, Oriental Selection announced on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that Dong Yuhui has decided to no longer serve as an employee of the company and senior management of a merged affiliated entity of the company. The resignation is due to Dong Yuhui's career ambitions, commitment to his other careers and personal time arrangements, and will take effect on July 25, 2024.
In addition to paying the promised benefits and compensation in full to Dong Yuhui, the Chairman of the Board, Yu Minhong, has sought the approval of the Board and the Board's Remuneration Committee to distribute all remaining undistributed profits of Huixingxing to Dong Yuhui.
In addition, according to the listing rules and the company's articles of association, Yu Minhong has made arrangements for the settlement price of Dong Yuhui's acquisition of Yuhui Tongxing. In order to maintain the normal operation of Yuhui Tongxing, the company will provide Yuhui Tongxing with its self-developed information system free of charge.
According to the announcement made by Oriental Selection on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, on July 25, Dong Yuhui (buyer), Beijing New Oriental Xuncheng Network Technology Co., Ltd. (seller) and Yuhui Tongxing (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd. (target company) entered into a sales agreement, pursuant to which the seller agreed to sell and the buyer agreed to acquire 100% of the equity of the target company for RMB 76.5855 million.
Yu Minhong later stated on the social media platform that Dong Yuhui held the equity purchase funds needed for Yuhui Tongxing, and he had arranged the payment in a manner consistent with the rules of listed companies and the company's articles of association, meaning that the company was given to Dong Yuhui. He also stated that all the income, including all profits, obtained by Yuhui Tongxing since its establishment had not been taken a penny by Dongfang Zhenxuan.
17 hours to go for the 2024 Paris Olympics, the main visual is purple
The opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics will be held at 19:30 local time on July 26, which is 1:30 am on July 27 Beijing time. Table tennis player Ma Long and synchronized swimmer Feng Yu will serve as flag bearers for the Chinese sports delegation.
The opening ceremony will begin on the banks of the Seine, and the route will pass through several landmark buildings, including Notre Dame de Paris, the Louvre, the Place de la Concorde, the Grand Palais and the Eiffel Tower.
The main visual of this Olympic Games is inspired by the cobblestone roads in the French urban landscape, and uses four colors: blue, red, green and purple, representing the rich colors of France.
The Paris Olympics will also use a purple running track for the first time, which not only echoes the color tone in the visual identity system, but also because it uses a high proportion of renewable and non-fossil materials, making the running track more sustainable and less impactful on the environment.
Huawei officially announces the launch of the new product "Xiangjie S9" for cars and all scenarios
Yesterday, Huawei officially announced that it will hold a launch conference for Hongmeng Intelligent Enjoy S9 and Huawei's full-scenario new products at 14:30 on August 6.

Huawei has not yet announced any information about new products other than the Enjoy S9. It has been reported that the new products will include headphones, smart screens, watches and other products. iFanr will continue to follow up.
OpenAI could lose $5 billion this year, report says
According to The Information, OpenAI's internal financial data and relevant personnel analysis show that the company is likely to lose $5 billion this year. OpenAI is currently valued at approximately $80 billion, and The Information expects it to need to raise more cash in the next 12 months.
OpenAI is reported to have spent a lot of money renting Microsoft servers to power ChatGPT and its underlying large language model. As of March, the company expected to spend nearly $4 billion on these inference costs this year.
In addition, OpenAI's spending on AI training and data may be as high as $3 billion. It is reported that OpenAI trains new AI faster than originally planned, leading to further increases in spending.
In terms of labor costs, OpenAI currently has about 1,500 employees, and as the company continues to grow, labor costs may reach $1.5 billion.
In terms of revenue, OpenAI can probably generate about $3 billion in annual revenue from ChatGPT and paid access to large language models, while OpenAI's recent monthly revenue is around $283 million, and its annual revenue is expected to be between $3.5 billion and $4.5 billion, which means that OpenAI may face a $5 billion gap this year.
Despite its financial challenges, it is worth noting that OpenAI has strong support from its largest investor, Microsoft. Some costs, such as the $4 billion in cloud services, may be funded by Microsoft in the form of in-kind investments rather than actual cash outlays.
CrowdStrike releases preliminary report on blue screen incidents and will strengthen testing in the future
Last week, security company CrowdStrike pushed a faulty update that caused 8.5 million Windows devices worldwide to experience blue screen failures upon startup, affecting a large number of companies.
After nearly a week of investigation, CrowdStrike released a preliminary review of the incident and said it would release more comprehensive findings soon.
The report shows that CrowdStrike released a dynamic rapid response content configuration update for its Falcon platform, which contained an undetected error. Falcon's sensor received this rapid response content configuration update, and when it was loaded into the content interpreter, the problematic content caused a memory read out of bounds, resulting in a failure.
CrowdStrike also released future remediation measures, stating that it will improve the resilience and testing of software deployments, improve mechanisms for rapid response content deployment, and strengthen third-party verification in the future.

Douyin denies online rumors that the total e-commerce transaction volume in the second quarter did not meet expectations
According to media reports, Douyin e-commerce's total transaction volume (GMV) in the second quarter was 760 billion to 770 billion yuan. In the first half of this year, it achieved a total of about 1.4 trillion yuan, which fell short of the 1.5 trillion yuan expected.
In response, Douyin officially stated that the relevant GMV data and the news that it did not meet expectations in the first half of the year were untrue.
It is reported that Douyin e-commerce mall GMV increased by 277% year-on-year in 2023, and there are reports that the GMV target for 2024 is 4 trillion.
Report shows that more iPhone buyers in the second quarter of this year are Android users
According to the latest report from research firm CIRP, 17% of consumers who purchased iPhones in the second quarter of this year (June quarter) had previously switched from Android phones, the highest number in five years.
The agency also found that compared with previous quarters, the sales proportion of the entire iPhone 15 series in the second quarter was smaller, and the sales proportion of corresponding older models was higher.
According to agency analysis, this may mean that the new flagship models are less attractive to Android users, and it may also mean that the proportion of existing iPhone users changing their phones has decreased.
The plaintiff of the iQiyi screen casting case issued four questions to Youku
The plaintiff @朱元律师, who is involved in the recently hotly debated "iQiyi Screen Casting Restriction Case", published an article yesterday commenting on Youku Screen Casting.
In the article, lawyer Zhu Yuan said that some netizens said that "Youku is the initiator of restricting screen casting." Youku's response is similar to that of iQiyi: the membership agreement is very clear, screen casting is not a VIP membership benefit, it is not applicable to the TV side, and if you want to watch it, you must upgrade to SVIP. It also said that a regulatory department has replied that it does not constitute infringement.
Lawyer Zhu Yuan tested Youku’s official screen projection software Cool Cat and found that Youku has chosen to open the screen projection function for some content, and the experience is like "opening a blind box."
Lawyer Zhu Yuan also asked Youku four questions in the article:
