Xiaomi2026-09-21 09:55:57Xiaomi’s MiMo halts two public RL training runs after spending $3.47 millionXiaomi has stopped both publicly streamed reinforcement learning training runs for its MiMo model, with Pro and Flash each completing 30 training steps as their last full run. Combined spending reached $3.4747 million, including $2.6207 million for Pro and $854,000 for Flash. The gains were notable: on DeepSWE v1.1, Pro rose from 58.41 at step 1 to 72.57, while Flash climbed from 48.67 to 65.68. Still, both curves saw clear pullbacks during training rather than moving up in a straight line. Other benchmark panels also improved, with Pro’s internal coding evaluation increasing from 57.54 to 65.43 and AutomationBench rising from 45.2 to 53.1. The process also ran into operational issues. Pro hit a GPU OOM caused by uneven expert load, and both the training cluster and evaluator experienced disconnects and restarts. Flash had to restart from step 15 because of an infrastructure error. Xiaomi also later filtered out tasks that had become too easy for Pro and removed the cyber dataset from later Pro training after abnormal rollout patterns appeared.550
Apple2026-09-21 00:41:43Report says Apple is developing an enterprise AI server with up to four M8 Ultra chipsMarket chatter cited by ChainCatcher says Apple is developing an enterprise-grade AI server that could carry two to four unreleased M8 Ultra processors. The reported target customers are AI developers, large enterprises, and government agencies, with AI inference listed as the main use case. The edge data center setup may also use NVLink, according to the report. Apple and NVIDIA had not responded to the market talk. Supply-chain sources cited in the report said Apple’s move into this segment is tied to heavy use of Mac systems as personal AI workstations, while Mac revenue rose nearly 30% in the latest quarter. The same report said Apple has been buying large amounts of NVIDIA chips and Google TPUs for its own AI data centers, and that the company is also rumored to be working with Broadcom on in-house AI chip development. The report also mentioned Qualcomm’s Dragonfly line and Xiaomi’s edge AI cabinet efforts, while supply-chain sources said TSMC may play a key role in advanced process technology or advanced packaging.530

smartphone pr2026-09-04 07:36:16Huawei, Xiaomi and Honor raise phone prices as memory chip costs squeeze the supply chainChinese smartphone brands Huawei, Xiaomi and Honor have raised prices on multiple handset models, with some devices seeing a one-time increase of as much as 1,000 yuan, according to a report by the Star Market Daily. Store visits in Shanghai found the new prices had already taken effect, even though some retailers had not yet replaced shelf labels and were informing shoppers verbally. Online price-tracking data from official Tmall flagship stores showed several rounds of increases over the past month, including a second adjustment for some Xiaomi 17 and Honor Magic 8 variants. Despite the online attention, foot traffic at offline stores did not change much. The report said the main driver behind the latest round of price hikes is higher upstream component costs, especially memory chips. That pressure has also reached Shenzhen’s Huaqiangbei second-hand market, where rising memory prices fueled a trade in dismantling scrap phones to extract chips for resale into automotive accessories, IoT hardware and refurbished overseas devices. Analysts cited in the report said the economics of low-end smartphones have deteriorated sharply as component costs rise. IDC data showed sub-1,000-yuan phones accounted for 22% of the market in 2023, but only 2.7% in the first quarter of 2026, while the firm expects global smartphone shipments in 2026 to fall 16.7% year over year and average selling prices to rise 27.6% to $581.1060
