Today’s data selection: Local temperatures in southern China may exceed 10°C; ChatGPT’s weekly active users exceed 100 million
The Central Meteorological Observatory predicts that the cold air affecting our country will be frequent and strong this week, and there will be two waves of cold air coming in the future. From the 7th to the 9th, the cold air mainly affected the north. There were northerly winds of magnitude 4 to 6 in North China, Huanghuai and Northeast China, and the temperature dropped by 4 to 8°C. From the 10th to the 13th, cold air affected most of the central and eastern parts, with temperatures generally dropping by 4 to 8°C, and local temperatures in the south could reach more than 10°C. Under the frequent influence of cold air, the temperature in most areas of the central and eastern regions will gradually drop in fluctuations. From the 10th to the 13th, the minimum temperature line of 0℃ will reach the central part of the Huanghuai River, and the minimum temperature in Shijiazhuang, Jinan, and Zhengzhou may drop below 0℃.
Shanghai’s central urban area will pilot self-driving buses
Shanghai has formed a rich set of autonomous driving test road scenarios, with a total of 926 roads covering 1,800 kilometers open, ranking among the top in the country in terms of mileage. This year, we will further expand the autonomous driving test road scenarios in Pudong New Area and provide a wider range and more scenario testing environments in Jinqiao, Pudong Airport and other areas. Continue to deepen the layout of intelligent connected vehicle test scenarios, explore sustainable, replicable, and promoteable commercialization paths for autonomous driving, and accelerate the large-scale demonstration operation of intelligent connected vehicles. Pilot self-driving buses will be operated during specific periods and road sections in central urban areas.
ChatGPT weekly active users exceed 100 million
"Today, approximately 2 million developers are using our API for a variety of use cases. More than 92% of Fortune 500 companies are building with our products, and ChatGPT now has approximately 100 million weekly active users." In the early morning of November 7, Beijing time, at OpenAI’s first developer conference, Sam Altman announced OpenAI’s impressive results in the past year.
As the news circulated before the conference, the latest version of ChatGPT, GPT-4Turbo, was launched at this conference, as well as many new features. More importantly, OpenAI announced that it will build an AI platform around GPT, launch GPTStore, and propose the concept of GPTs. Users can use the GPTBuilder tool to create their own GPTs.
Ever since ChatGPT was likened to AI’s iPhone, I’m afraid Sam Altman has already set his sights on Apple. However, his ambition is even greater. He not only wants to make ChatGPT the next iOS, but also further strengthens its binding with users so that every user has the opportunity to become a developer.
Zhejiang’s most powerful brain performs 181.9 quadrillion operations per second
This year is the tenth year of the World Internet Conference.
In Wuzhen, the permanent venue of the conference, there is a glass house, which is the location of the "Light of Wuzhen" supercomputing center. It can perform 181.9 quadrillion calculations per second, which is equivalent to if 1.4 billion people across the country work together and each person performs one calculation per second, it will take 4 consecutive years without sleep, and the "Light of Wuzhen" only requires 1 seconds. It is also known as the “most powerful brain” in Zhejiang Province. During the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, the Zhejiang Provincial Atmospheric Environment Monitoring and Early Warning Forecasting Platform relied on the powerful computing power of the supercomputing center to accurately predict the minimum unit space from 16 square kilometers to 1 square kilometer, and the forecast duration was extended from 7 days. to 15 days. In addition, supercomputing centers can also be applied to various fields such as smart cities, life sciences, and artificial intelligence.
Chinese mobile phone brands already account for half of Indonesia’s market
When it comes to Chinese smartphone brands going overseas, many people’s first impression is India. But in fact, Indonesia is also a rare "breadbasket" - with a population of about 270 million, ranking fourth in the world, second only to India, China and the United States; a new population of nearly 5 million every year; and a total economic volume of US$1.3 trillion last year. It ranks first among the ten ASEAN countries, and in the second quarter of this year, the growth rate has been above 5% for seven consecutive quarters. In addition, the saying "whoever wins Indonesia will win Southeast Asia" circulated in the industry also makes overseas travelers yearning for this hot land.
With some market experience they can learn from and highly competitive products, Chinese mobile phone manufacturers are thriving in the Indonesian smartphone market. According to the latest statistics from the research agency Canalys, in the Indonesian market in the second quarter of 2023, OPPO ranked first with a 20% share, followed by Samsung with a share of 19%, vivo, Xiaomi and Transsion ranked third to fourth respectively. Five, the market shares are 18%, 16% and 13% respectively.
It can be seen that through the layout of the past ten years or so, the development of Chinese mobile phone manufacturers in the Southeast Asian market has already passed the pioneering stage. Next, the high-end market is becoming the new "match point" for Chinese manufacturers to compete.
