On August 26th, Tang Daosheng, Senior Executive Vice President of Tencent Group and CEO of the Cloud and Smart Industries Group, published an article in Tencents internal publication addressing external criticisms that "Tencent is slow in its AI development." He responded that its impossible not to feel anxious. "The Hunyuan large-scale model has undergone multiple reconstructions. Hunyuan Hy3 performs exceptionally well among large models with similar parameters, but due to the companys overall insufficient computing power, model training and product development have been slowed down, resulting in significant impacts." Tang Daosheng stated that getting started early may not be the most crucial factor; the second half of the AI era has only just begun. Only by persevering can one seize the continuously emerging new opportunities.On August 26, European Central Bank Executive Board member Schnabel stated that the protracted Middle East conflict, coupled with unexpectedly strong Eurozone economic performance, poses upside risks to inflation, necessitating further interest rate hikes. Consumer price increases could exceed 2% for an "extended period," and policymakers will be behind the curve if action is delayed until these effects are transmitted to wages. She stated, "At current interest rates, inflation is unlikely to return to the target level in the medium term, thus requiring further policy tightening. Especially given the current resilient aggregate demand, preventing a second round of effects early is crucial, as acting too late may require more aggressive tightening measures." She pointed out that fiscal policy, increased defense spending, and the global AI boom are key drivers of strong economic growth. Schnabel warned that energy price pressures, excluding oil, are becoming more persistent. Given low European gas inventory levels, the gas market is particularly worrying, "posing a substantial upside risk to inflation. The longer the conflict lasts, the greater the risk and intensity of indirect and second-round effects."Tibo, Product Manager at OpenAI Codex: Good products take time.

According to numbers issued by Baker Hughes on Friday, the total number of active drilling rigs in the United States rose by two this week.


This week, there were 758 operational drilling rigs, 267 more than at the same time in 2021.


This week, there were 599 active oil rigs in the United States. To 155, the number of gas wells increased by 2. At 4, the number of diverse rigs remained steady.


This week, there were 349 rigs in the Permian Basin, one less than last week. The number of rigs in Eagle Ford increased by one to seventy. There are 107 more oil and gas rigs in the Permian than there were at this time last year.


Frac Spread Count, a measure of the number of crews completing unfinished wells — a more efficient use of resources than drilling new wells — declined to 279 for the week ending July 15 from 244 during the same week one year prior.


During the week ending July 15, the United States produced 11.9 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil, down 100,000 barrels per day (bpd) from the previous week.


As of 10:00 a.m. EDT, oil prices were trending up on the day, but somewhat lower for the week, as recession fears continued to outweigh the Russia factor. WTI was trading at $96.53, which was an increase of $0.18 per barrel (+0.19 percent) on the day but a decrease of little more than $1 per barrel week-over-week. The Brent benchmark traded at $104.50 a barrel, a daily increase of $0.65 (+0.63 percent) and a weekly increase of approximately $3.


At 1:06 p.m. ET, WTI was trading at $96.70 per barrel and Brent was trading at $104.80 per barrel; both were up on the day.
