August 25th - According to renowned tech journalist Mark Gurman, sources familiar with the matter revealed that Apple (AAPL.O) is preparing to launch its first new Mac mini in nearly two years. The new Mac mini could be unveiled as early as the next few days, possibly before the September launch event. Apple has already tested versions equipped with both M5 and M6 processor chips. This upgrade comes at a time of significant demand for the current Mac mini, which has become a popular tool for running AI applications locally. Memory chip shortages are also making it more difficult for Apple to maintain inventory supply for the product. The Mac mini may be the last new product launched during Tim Cooks tenure as CEO. The Mac mini is also a key product in Apples commitment to bringing more manufacturing back to the United States. Earlier this year, Apple pledged to begin Mac mini production in Houston later in 2026. Cook visited the factory this month with Trump administration officials, and domestic manufacturing has been a crucial part of the Trump administrations policy agenda.On August 25th, 2026, the Vietnamese Ministry of Industry and Trade issued Announcement No. 2084/QD-BCT, making a final determination in the third interim review of the anti-dumping duties on H-beam steel products originating from China.

Based on data from over 8,000 surveys of companies and individuals, the report shows that AI technology is profoundly reshaping the job market for recent graduates. Nearly 30% of companies have already incorporated AI talent into their campus recruitment efforts, with 56.8% of these companies reporting an increase in related demand compared to the previous year. In terms of job positions, AI application development engineers are in highest demand (53.9%), while companies prioritize a strong foundation in mathematics and statistics (58.9%), followed by machine learning theory and practice (46.5%). The survey reveals significant salary disparities in AI positions. Large-scale model algorithm engineers lead with a median monthly salary of 27,329 yuan, while multimodal and deep learning positions all exceed 26,000 yuan. However, AI data trainers earn only 8,977 yuan, less than one-third of the top-performing positions.On August 25th, according to the Guangxi Hydrological Center, from 8:00 AM on August 24th to 8:00 AM on August 25th, parts of Guilin, Wuzhou, Guigang, Chongzuo, Hezhou, Laibin, and Nanning experienced heavy to torrential rain, with localized areas experiencing extremely heavy rain.
