Beijing is investing billions into a national AI fund and its broader AI+ initiative to embed artificial intelligence across the entire economy. Backed by strong state support, domestic chip production, and lower manufacturing costs, China can scale AI solutions rapidly and analysts say it s on track to surpass the U.S. in the race for AI dominance. (IMO, it already happened.)

And one of the examples is these 2 news items I read today:
1) Alibaba unveils Qwen3.5 as China s chatbot race shifts to AI agents

2) and this one is even more important:
Alibaba has launched RynnBrain, an open-source AI model designed to power robots that can see, think, and act in real-world environments.

First of all, I want to thank you for voting for us in yesterday's launch - you still can, the week is not over. HERE

Second thing, I summarised some things that I realised, reflected on, and maybe should have known sooner:

Hi PH!

I am in love with creating and enabling others to create. I have been lucky to create with some of the most amazing inventors in everything from the mainframe computer, the mobile phone, big data, and the internet of things and am most excited by how technology is now enabling more people to create.
