According to Caixin News, the "Administrative Measures for Online Marketing of Financial Products" jointly issued by the People's Bank of China and seven other government ministries will officially take effect on September 30, 2026. The regulation aims to clarify the boundaries between finance and technology, and does not impose a full ban on online live-stream sales of financial products; instead, it lays out specific guidelines and norms for marketing activities. It specifies that financial products promoted via official accounts, live streams, or short videos must be conducted on either the financial institution’s self-operated platform or accounts legally registered by the institution on third-party internet platforms. Additionally, marketers must be employees of financial institutions, hold relevant business qualifications, and obtain authorization from the financial institution. This means KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders, i.e., influencers and internet celebrities) who wish to promote financial products will need to "hold valid certificates to work".

From Beating AI Express: A report by The Information reveals Anthropic has secured at least 14.8GW of new compute capacity over the past 11 months, with deployment scheduled over the coming years. Based on current public contract estimates, the potential total cost could reach a maximum of $517 billion, with most expenditures set to occur over the next decade. Adding the 1–2GW of capacity it had locked in prior to last October, Anthropic’s total contracted compute capacity stands at roughly 16GW. This expansion is primarily driven by demand for its Claude AI models. This year, growth in Claude Code and Claude Cowork exceeded Anthropic’s expectations, prompting the company to aggressively secure compute resources. Under new agreements, Amazon will provide up to 5GW, while Google and Broadcom will supply another 5GW; Microsoft and NVIDIA will contribute up to around 1GW. Anthropic also leased all compute capacity of SpaceX’s Colossus 1, gaining access to more than 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs at once, including H100, H200, and GB200 models. Even with this massive investment, Anthropic’s compute plans may still lag behind OpenAI’s. Anthropic has locked in approximately 16GW, with many contracts extending beyond 2030. OpenAI has set a target of reaching 30GW by 2030, and projects cumulative compute investments of roughly $750 billion by that year. The $517 billion figure is The Information’s estimated maximum potential cost based on existing cloud, chip, and data center contracts. Some compute capacity may be delayed or unused, and certain contracts allow for early cancellation.
