币界网报道:
CNBC证实,由前谷歌人工智能研究人员创立并得到Nvidia支持的人工智能初创公司Cohere周二裁员约20人。据该公司称,Cohere拥有约400名员工,此前该公司完成了一轮5亿美元的融资,投资者包括AMD、Salesforce、Oracle和Nvidia,对该公司的估值为55亿美元,比去年翻了一番多。据Cohere.com网站称,尽管裁员,但Cohere.com仍在客户运营、合作伙伴关系、收入、销售、产品设计和建模等领域进行招聘。Cohere的商业模式由前谷歌人工智能研究人员创立,并得到Nvidia的支持,其核心是为企业生成人工智能,而不是消费者聊天机器人,自2022年底OpenAI发布ChatGPT以来,消费者聊天机器人一直是科技行业的热门话题。2023年6月,Cohere以22亿美元的估值筹集了2.7亿美元,Salesforce和Oracle参与了这轮融资。公司高管也参加了白宫的人工智能论坛。该公司的一位代表在一份声明中告诉CNBC:“随着我们最近一轮融资的到位,我们对Cohere的未来有了清晰的愿景,这需要一些内部调整。”。“我们将继续积极招聘员工,为公司提供市场上最准确、最安全、最私密的多语言人工智能解决方案。”《财富》杂志首次报道了裁员情况。根据PitchBook的数据,生成人工智能领域在过去一年中呈爆炸式增长,2023年在近700笔交易中投资了创纪录的291亿美元,交易价值比去年同期增长了260%以上。它已成为企业财报电话会议上一季度又一季度最热门的短语,某种形式的技术正在几乎每个行业实现任务自动化,从金融服务和生物医学研究到物流、在线旅游和公用事业Cohere在人工智能军备竞赛中的一些竞争对手为消费者和企业提供产品。例如,OpenAI于去年8月推出了ChatGPT Enterprise,Anthropic于去年7月开放了消费者对其以前仅限业务的Claude聊天机器人的访问。Cohere总裁兼首席运营官Martin Kon在3月份告诉CNBC,通过专注于企业AI,即使在芯片短缺、图形处理单元(GPU)成本上升和AI模型许可费不断变化的情况下,该公司也能够高效运行并控制成本。根据Cohere的网站,目前的客户包括Notion、Oracle和Bamboo HR。Kon过去曾告诉CNBC,许多客户包括银行、金融服务和保险行业的企业。11月,Cohere告诉CNBC,在OpenAI突然临时罢免首席执行官Sam Altman后,客户兴趣有所上升。今年3月,Kon承认,硬件行业不断变化的动态带来了持续的挑战。Kon当时表示,该公司已经储备了两年多的谷歌芯片,这些芯片是在Cohere早期获得的,以帮助其对模型进行预训练。现在,Cohere正朝着使用更多Nvidia的H100 GPU的方向发展,这些GPU为大多数最新的大型语言模型提供动力
不要错过CNBC PRO的这些见解。分析师表示,伯克希尔哈撒韦公司已经淘汰了10%的已发行股票,因为巴菲特重视回购的持久力量。美国银行策略师表示,现在是时候看跌了。摩根士丹利正在为包括苹果在内的这些股票出牌,因为如果拜登退出竞选,“特朗普交易”可能会停滞不前

Chinese Venture Capital Is Shifting from 'Selecting People' to 'Selecting Cities'

Chinese Venture Capital: Shifting from "Picking Founders" to "Picking Cities" The article discusses a significant shift in China's venture capital (VC) landscape. Historically, VC investments heavily focused on the individual founder's vision, track record, and capability, as seen in early internet-era successes like Wang Xing (Meituan), Li Bin (Nio), and Li Xiang (Li Auto). The belief was that betting on exceptional people was the key to success. However, the rise of hard tech startups—in fields like semiconductors, robotics, AI, and biotech—has changed this calculus. These industries depend heavily on deep, localized ecosystems: specialized talent pools, established supply chains, manufacturing bases, and application scenarios. A city's industrial "resume" now significantly impacts a startup's chances. Examples include Shenzhen's dominance in robotics, Beijing's concentration of AI firms, Suzhou's biotech cluster, and Hefei's successful bet on semiconductor giant ChangXin. This shift is further driven by changes in funding sources. Government-guided funds and state-owned capital now dominate VC limited partners (LPs). These "patient capital" investors prioritize local economic development, job creation, and industrial chain growth alongside financial returns. Their early bets signal viability to other investors. Ultimately, the VC logic remains about managing risk and increasing the odds of success. In the hard tech era, a supportive city ecosystem provides crucial resources—talent, suppliers, R&D, and policy stability—that a single founder cannot easily assemble. The investment due diligence process has thus expanded from evaluating just the founder to also evaluating the founder's city. Consequently, capital is concentrating in a few regions with strong, focused industrial foundations, challenging other cities to build compelling, credible ecosystems to attract investment.

BitGo Buys NYDIG's Trading Unit as Institutions Consolidate Crypto Services

On August 27, 2026, BitGo, a major regulated crypto custodian, announced the acquisition of NYDIG's institutional trading division. This move expands BitGo's service offerings to include derivatives, structured products, and lending services, allowing it to provide institutions with a more comprehensive, single-provider solution for custody, trading, and settlement. The deal adds approximately 30 NYDIG employees and their trading network to BitGo. The acquisition reflects a broader institutional trend towards consolidating digital asset services with fewer, regulated partners. A Fireblocks report from April 2026 indicated strong institutional budget allocation for such infrastructure, with 53% of surveyed firms spending at least $1 million. BitGo, which went public in January 2026, reported significant revenue and client growth alongside platform assets of $65.2 billion. Its regulatory standing, including a federal trust license, is a key factor for risk-conscious institutions. The deal also provides BitGo access to the crypto lending market, despite a recent quarterly decline reported by Galaxy Research, and aligns with growing activity on regulated derivatives venues like CME Group. However, this integration of multiple services attracts closer regulatory scrutiny. The Bank for International Settlements has warned that such crypto conglomerates could concentrate financial risks. For NYDIG, the sale marks a strategic shift to focus on its vertically integrated bitcoin mining and high-performance computing data center business.
