On May 18th, Tencents AI-powered design collaboration platform, Ardot, officially launched its public beta. Ardot is a multi-user, real-time collaborative UI/UX design tool primarily aimed at designers and product managers, covering the entire software design process from visual design and code delivery to team collaboration and asset transfer. Users can describe interface requirements using natural language, and Ardot generates editable initial design drafts in real-time, converting them to code with a single click. It also supports direct import of Figma files, fully preserving the original layout, styles, and components, achieving zero-cost migration.On May 18th, the official WeChat account of Qianwen Big Model released a teaser, stating that a "heavyweight new friend" will be joining the Alibaba Cloud Summit on May 20th. The official keywords for this new product include: more versatile, more powerful, more in-depth, and more comprehensive.On May 18th, it was reported that the technology sector, represented by optical modules and domestic computing power, has once again become the focus of investment. Yang Lingfeng, fund manager of Rongtong Technology Select Fund, believes that the continuous expansion of application scenarios for large-scale artificial intelligence (AI) models is driving a significant increase in token consumption, and the industrys computing power supply has entered a tight phase. The high prosperity of the AI industry chain has a solid industrial foundation, and its growth logic is clearly visible. In his view, the AI industry includes three closely related links: computing power, models (algorithms), and applications. From the industry perspective, AI is still in the investment phase, with strong demand for computing power, while the pace of application implementation and performance realization is at its fastest in history. Yang Lingfeng analyzed that model manufacturers invested heavily in training computing power in the early stages, and subsequent investment growth has been relatively stable. With the rapid increase in AI penetration, inference computing power is showing exponential growth. According to NVIDIAs calculations, inference computing power demand accounted for 40% of total computing power demand in 2024, and it is expected that inference computing power will officially surpass training computing power in 2025.Thailands Finance Minister: Fiscal policy needs to support the economy.Ryanair CEO: This week our fuel suppliers confirmed that they do not expect any supply disruptions until mid-July.

In Colombia, natural gas consumption has outpaced production

According to our most recent Colombia Country Analysis Brief, Colombia imported 14,2 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas to help meet its natural gas demand for electricity in 2020, when a drop in hydroelectric power was caused by drought.


In 2020, hydroelectricity will contribute to around 65% of Colombia's electrical generation, down from nearly 80% in earlier years. Since hydropower is Colombia's principal energy source, droughts may have a significant effect on the country's electrical producing mix.


The bulk of natural gas used in Colombia is produced domestically and employed to create electricity. In recent years, imports have progressively bridged the gap between domestic natural gas production and domestic demand. In 2020, Colombia produced 399 Bcf of dry natural gas, while domestic consumption was 413 Bcf.


Concerns over the reliability of the nation's electricity supply prompted the Colombian government to approve the Sociedad Portuaria El Cayao (SPEC) LNG import plant in November 2014. The facility started operations in November 2016. The administration has since proposed the Pacific Regasification LNG terminal as the nation's second LNG import plant.


EPM is currently developing the new hydroelectric dam project Ituango. The first of eight 300-megawatt generating units will commence operating in the second part of 2022. The whole project will have a capacity of 2.4 gigawatts when it is finished in 2025. If completed, the Ituango project would be the largest hydroelectric power plant in Colombia in terms of generating capacity. In 2020, the installed electrical production capacity of Colombia was 17 gigawatts.
