On March 30, the United States eased energy restrictions on Cuba, permitting a Russian oil tanker loaded with crude oil to head to a Cuban port. According to Reuters, ship tracking data shows that the Russian-flagged tanker has arrived off the eastern coast of Cuba and is expected to dock today (30th). This shipment of crude oil is anticipated to temporarily alleviate Cuba's current energy crisis. Due to the US oil embargo, Cuba has implemented strict gasoline rationing and has experienced multiple large-scale power outages. US President Trump stated to the media aboard Air Force One that he has no objections if any country, including Russia, wishes to send oil to Cuba. Earlier, The New York Times quoted US officials saying that the Coast Guard has approved the sanctioned Russian tanker to proceed to Cuba, but did not specify the reasons. Analysts believe that in the current volatile geopolitical situation, if the US were to forcibly intercept the tanker, it could increase the risk of conflict with Russia. (Dongxin News Agency)

On March 30, according to BianNiuShi, concerns over OpenAI's funding chain and expansion capabilities have intensified, leading the tech giant to implement recent spending cuts that have severely impacted the previously booming memory chip market. OpenAI's explosive growth had previously driven memory prices to soar. As a core component essential for consumer electronics and data centers, suppliers' capacities could not meet the massive demand from the AI industry. Market research firm TrendForce reported that memory prices skyrocketed by nearly seven times over the past year. However, as OpenAI begins to rein in its substantial investments in data centers, signs of a price tsunami finally appear to be calming. For example, the price of certain DDR5 memory kits has dropped by as much as $100. According to industry media, the price of a 32GB kit on Amazon has significantly decreased from a recent high of $490 to $370. As the creator behind ChatGPT, OpenAI has recently halted several extremely costly star projects, leading the market to question whether they can still absorb so many chips. Just last week, to control their ever-expanding operating costs, they shut down the much-anticipated AI video generation application Sora. Earlier this month, they also scrapped a multi-billion dollar partnership with Oracle, abandoning plans to expand their Texas super data center. (Dongxin News Agency)

According to 1M AI News, Cheng Lou, a Midjourney engineer and the author of the React animation library react-motion, has open-sourced Pretext, a pure JavaScript/TypeScript text measurement and layout library with zero dependencies. Pretext bypasses browser DOM measurements (such as `getBoundingClientRect` and `offsetHeight`), avoiding layout reflow by calculating text height and line breaks using pure arithmetic. Pretext operates in two phases: `prepare()` measures character widths in one go using the Canvas API, while `layout()` performs pure arithmetic calculations based on cached width data. In a benchmark test with 500 text segments, `prepare()` took about 19ms, while `layout()` only required 0.09ms. Cheng Lou noted in a supporting article, "The performance improvement is not incremental, but a qualitative change: 0.05ms compared to 30ms, zero reflows compared to five hundred." The library supports all languages including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Arabic, as well as emojis and mixed-direction text, and can render to DOM, Canvas, and SVG. Typical application scenarios include: 1. Virtual lists and occlusion culling without height guessing 2. JavaScript-driven custom layouts like masonry layouts 3. Chat bubbles with multi-line text that adaptively shrink in width 4. Text wrapping around images in editorial layouts.

Elon Musk stated on X that Grok's feature for automatically translating and recommending posts in other languages has "started to take effect." Previously, users had to manually click the translate button to read foreign language content; now Grok actively identifies posts in other languages, translates them, and directly pushes them into users' feeds. English users have already reported seeing a significant number of translated Japanese posts appearing on their timelines. On March 26, Nikita Bier, head of X products, previewed that "all of Grok's algorithmic capabilities will be launched next week," calling it "the most significant change we have made on X." The automatic translation and recommendation across languages is part of this algorithm upgrade.
