On July 4, Serenity posted on platform X, indicating that the current funding trends in the Chinese private VC market show a significant influx of institutions into the fields related to Physical AI and World Models. The distribution of funds is approximately as follows: Large Models/LLM about $23.56 billion, AI Infrastructure and Technology Layer about $15.74 billion, Embodied Intelligence/Physical AI about $13.36 billion, and AIGC Applications about $8.79 billion. Serenity added that the early financing cycle for pure foundational models may have largely ended, with capital increasingly concentrated on established leading companies and the direction of World Models. This trend is also expected to emerge in the U.S., potentially further concentrating on leading companies such as Anthropic and OpenAI. Currently, AI investments continue to flow into infrastructure and semiconductor supply chains, while capital is rapidly rotating towards Physical AI and Embodied Intelligence.

On July 4, Serenity announced that floating AI data centers and ocean computing are now a reality, with a core advantage in significantly saving power through natural seawater cooling, making them particularly friendly to areas with tight land resources, similar to the concept of 'orbital computing.' Samsung Heavy Industries plans to launch its first commercial floating AI data center by 2028, with a scale of approximately 50MW. Singapore's Keppel is also advancing a similar project, expected to be operational in the same year. Serenity further noted that Microsoft previously explored an underwater submerged data center called Project Natick, which has since been terminated, and this is not the same concept as the currently discussed floating data centers. This addresses two major pain points in AI infrastructure: power and cooling. Additionally, the modular and movable characteristics naturally adapt to land-scarce areas.

On July 4, Micron Technology officially launched the expansion project for its factory in western Japan, with a total investment of 1.5 trillion yen aimed at producing advanced memory chips. This expansion is part of its global growth plan to meet the demands of the artificial intelligence industry; the Japanese government will provide up to 500 billion yen in subsidies to help cover construction costs. The expansion will enhance Micron's ability to improve the energy efficiency and data transmission efficiency of chips required for AI services and autonomous vehicles, with production expected to begin around the summer of 2028.

On July 4, Leto Bao, the key figure behind ByteDance's stock trading gains of 30 million, published insights on the storage market, questioning why storage prices have recently plummeted. He attributed this to an excessive withdrawal by institutions, compounded by leveraged funds being forcefully liquidated, leading to a spiral of chain liquidations. He believes that appropriately reducing leverage is healthier in the long run. Leto Bao also emphasized the importance of having personal conviction in investments. He recounted a colleague in the ByteDance investment group who had assets worth several million dollars. At the beginning of the year, this colleague was optimistic about storage but lacked firm conviction, prompting him to visit Micron's factory in Singapore to reinforce his belief, after which he confidently made purchases. He noted that relying on others' recommendations reflects their beliefs, not yours; if the stock rises, you may not hold on, and if it falls, you will struggle even more. Regarding how ordinary people should invest, Leto Bao categorized investors into several situations: those with family obligations and debts like mortgages and car loans should not invest at all; their priority should be to reduce financial leverage. Investors without economic burdens but lacking savings should focus on enhancing their earning capabilities. Those with some savings (with a PDT threshold of $25,000) but no prior investment experience or interest in investing should directly buy indices and avoid individual stocks. The ideal investors are those with sufficient savings, a passion for investing, a capacity for learning, and who view investment as a strategic game rather than just a means to make money. They enjoy the trading experience, enhance their understanding through information sources, and have clear goals with real-world feedback, making investment more engaging than any strategy game.

On July 4, the Central Bank of Brazil stated during a congressional hearing that stablecoins possess the attributes of payment tools and should be classified as electronic currency tools rather than general digital assets, thereby subjecting them to a stricter regulatory framework. The Brazilian Association of Crypto Economy opposed this classification, arguing that it could lead to regulatory conflicts, hinder the application of stablecoins in institutional and retail markets, and divert Brazil from international regulatory trends. Meanwhile, the Central Bank of Brazil has recently increased regulatory requirements for virtual asset service providers, which may put pressure on small and medium-sized crypto institutions.

On July 3, Goldman Sachs maintained its 'Buy' rating on MiniMax Group (0100.HK) with a target price of HKD 860. The report indicates that the MiniMax M3 model is priced the same as the M2.7, and through upgrades in training and inference architecture, inference efficiency has improved by over 2 times, sufficiently offsetting the cost increase from the doubling of model parameters. This week, DeepSeek announced that the official version of V4 is scheduled to launch in mid-July, along with the introduction of a time-based pricing mechanism, where peak period usage will cost twice the regular price. Goldman Sachs believes that DeepSeek's price increase indirectly confirms the high cost-performance ratio of MiniMax M3. The upcoming release of larger versions of the M3 series and the H3 video model is also seen as a catalyst for the next phase. (Financial Associated Press)
