According to Reuters, Meta plans to start production of its AI chip codenamed "Iris" in September. The chip is part of the fourth-generation Meta Training and Inference Accelerators (MTIA) project, designed in-house to support Meta’s own AI needs and enhance AI functions on platforms including Facebook and Instagram. The chip was developed in collaboration with Broadcom and manufactured by TSMC, aiming to reduce reliance on external GPU suppliers such as Nvidia and AMD, as well as lower massive computing costs. After the chip’s launch, Meta plans to deploy 7 gigawatts (GW) of computing infrastructure in 2026, doubling that to 14 GW by 2027. This is part of Meta’s broader AI infrastructure expansion initiative, with its capital expenditure this year projected to reach up to $145 billion.

Dan Bin, chairman of Oriental Harbour, published an article on Chinese investment platform Xueqiu today, taking a relatively optimistic stance on market concerns that the consecutive listings of Changxin Memory and SK Hynix would divert capital. Dan Bin pointed out that if the two memory firms reach market capitalizations of RMB 3 trillion, 5 trillion, or even 7 trillion after listing, the overall market cap space for hard tech sectors on the A-share and Hong Kong stock markets will be fully unlocked, a major positive in the long run. He noted that the A-share market has long been plagued by the "market cap ceiling curse", with baijiu giants serving as the market's market cap benchmarks, making it hard for other firms to surpass their scale. However, given China's current global industrial standing, the A-share market is fully capable of nurturing a hard tech giant with a total market cap exceeding $1 trillion. In contrast, the combined market cap of just two or three U.S. tech giants equals the total size of the entire A-share market, a pattern that does not align with China's current economic strength. He expressed great anticipation that hard tech enterprises in sectors like memory will achieve value breakthroughs, driving a reshaping of China's domestic capital market landscape.

Data from prediction market platform Predict.fun shows that the 2026 United States-Canada-Mexico FIFA World Cup quarterfinal will feature a match between France and Morocco. As of press time, the market assigns France a roughly 77% chance of advancing, while Morocco’s probability stands at around 22%, with traders overall favoring France to reach the semifinals. Notably, France, led by Kylian Mbappé’s forward line, has maintained its strong attacking form in the tournament, while Morocco has continued to display tenacious defensive resilience, sustaining its competitiveness in World Cup knockout rounds in recent years. The two sides previously clashed in the 2022 Qatar World Cup semifinals, where France won 2-0 to advance to the final. Now meeting again, whether Morocco can exact revenge or France will continue its push for a title defense will be the biggest highlight of this match.
