Federal Reserve's Harker: May Temporarily Hold Rates Steady

2025.02.08 00:32:20

February 8th: On this day, the US January seasonally adjusted non-farm payrolls reached 143,000. This figure is significantly lower than the market's expected level of 170,000 and hits a new low since October of last year. Federal Reserve's Gullsby provided comments on the macro data, stating, "This is a rather robust non-farm payroll report. It appears that we are on the verge of achieving full employment. Based on recent observations, I am optimistic that tariffs will not ultimately pose a significant obstacle to trade. I am satisfied with the current economic development path. Tariffs may act as a 'wrench' in the supply chain. Wage growth is roughly in line with the 2% inflation level. Long-term market-oriented inflation expectations suggest that the market believes the Fed will be able to keep inflation under control at 2%." "Currently, the Federal Reserve is keeping interest rates unchanged. However, in the next 12 to 18 months, interest rates will be slightly lower than the current level. Under greater uncertainty, the pace of interest rate cuts will slow down. In the process of achieving the 2% inflation target, we may temporarily maintain interest rates unchanged. The neutral balance point for interest rates has decreased. Stable interest rates need to be achieved on a 'cautious' timetable. I do not think the Federal Reserve will be involved in any sovereign wealth fund." (Jin Shi)

Former head of large model development at Shanghai AI Lab raises hundreds of millions of yuan in funding, aiming to enable AI to independently conduct research and improve models.

According to Beating AI Express, Super Evolution Intelligence, founded by Chen Kai, former head of the Large Model Center at Shanghai AI Lab, has recently completed a multi-hundred-million-yuan angel round of financing led by BlueRun Ventures, with participation from SenseTime Guoxiang Capital, Legend Star, and other institutions. The company officially launched operations at the end of August this year, aiming to build a foundational model capable of independent research and continuous self-improvement. Chen Kai previously led the development of the Shusheng series of large models and has hands-on experience training trillion-parameter models. For his latest startup, he will not start by training a trillion-parameter model from scratch; instead, he will first conduct post-training based on open-source models, starting with a scale of hundreds of billions of parameters before gradually exploring mid-training and pre-training. Currently, the firm is building a self-evolutionary training loop, preparing research data and verification environments, and establishing corresponding evaluation systems. Chen Kai plans to launch its first model adopting the new paradigm by mid-2027.
