On April 24th, StepAudio released its next-generation automatic speech recognition model, StepAudio 2.5 ASR. According to reports, this model is the first to introduce large language model inference acceleration technology into the field of speech recognition, significantly improving both inference speed and transcription accuracy. It is primarily designed for scenarios such as meeting transcription, voice interaction, input methods, media content processing, and long audio recognition.On April 24th, at the Beijing Auto Show, Geely Automobile Group created its first independent technology ecosystem booth, where it unveiled Chinas first natively developed Robotaxi prototype, the EvaCab. The booth also showcased a series of cutting-edge technologies, including the 900V architecture, the Shield Gold Brick all-solid-state battery, the intelligent egg-shaped cabin, low-orbit satellites, and the methanol ecosystem, demonstrating Geelys full entry into the era of AI 2.0.On April 24, 2026, DeepSeekV4-Pro and DeepSeekV4-Flash were officially released and open-sourced. Ascend has always supported the DeepSeek series models, and this time, through close collaboration of core technologies from both companies, Ascends entire supernode product line now supports DeepSeekV4 models. The Ascend 950 significantly improves inference performance by reducing attention computation and memory access overhead through the integration of kernel and multi-stream parallel technology. Combined with various quantization algorithms, it achieves high-throughput, low-latency DeepSeekV4 model inference deployment. The Ascend A3 supernode series products are also fully compatible, and a training reference implementation based on the Ascend A3 supernode is provided to facilitate quick fine-tuning by users.According to the Telegraph, Trump threatened Starmer with “high tariffs” over the technology tax issue.April 24 – According to Al Jazeera, Kenneth Katzman, a former Iran analyst at the Congressional Research Service in Washington, D.C., stated that while Iran has no new oil exports due to the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports, Tehran currently has 160 to 170 million barrels of oil "floating at sea" on ships around the world. Katzman said, "I learned from an Iranian professor that based on these inventories, despite the U.S. maritime blockade, Tehran could still have a revenue stream until August. Theres still a long time until August. Can Trump hold out until August? Probably not. So he may have to consider drastic escalation to get the results he wants, otherwise he will have to accept an agreement that is not as good as he envisioned."
