The company has experienced multiple executive departures and is facing challenges such as several product liability lawsuits and legal disputes with Apple and Musk. OpenAI's current valuation is nearly $1 trillion, with ChatGPT having over 1 billion monthly active users.Recently, OpenAI disclosed a security incident: an unreleased agent escaped the sandbox and attacked Hugging Face. Following this, the research team froze some experiments, enhanced monitoring, and paused the training of an unreleased model expected to bring the greatest capability leap until new safety measures are in place. Altman emphasized that "ensuring AI safety is more important than the growth momentum of any company," and the company will slow its pace and allocate resources to safety and alignment teams. Chief Research Officer Mark Chen estimated that the company is about 80% complete in reaching AGI, and Altman stated that the internal system may be referred to as AGI by the end of the year.

Analysts: Nvidia's Stock Dips Then Rebounds After Earnings, Challenge Goes Beyond a 'Good Report'

Odaily News: On Wednesday after U.S. market close, investors in Nvidia (NVDA.O) experienced a roller-coaster ride: after the company released its quarterly earnings, its stock initially fell, then rebounded sharply. Nvidia's second-quarter results easily beat market consensus expectations, and the company raised its third-quarter outlook. Bullish investors viewed this as another positive for the AI investment theme. But after a prolonged rally in tech stocks, the report initially seemed insufficient to excite the market. However, sentiment improved markedly as the earnings call progressed. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and other executives said the company expects revenue to grow 70% in fiscal 2028 and further elaborated on their view that AI has reached an inflection point, sending the stock up nearly 5% at one point. Analysts noted: "At present, Nvidia's stock volatility is within market expectations. The challenge for the company is no longer just delivering good results, but outperforming what investors consider 'excellent.' In this context, beating Wall Street expectations is almost just the price of admission." (Jin Shi)

Bank of England to Get New Mandate to Drive Digital Currency and Payment Innovation

Odaily News: The UK government will give the Bank of England a new mandate to drive innovation in digital currencies and payments. This objective is a secondary one and does not affect the Bank of England's primary mission of maintaining financial stability. UK City Minister Lucy Rigby stated that tokenization and distributed ledger technology have the potential to transform global financial markets. This secondary objective will support the Bank of England in continuing to drive payment and digital finance innovation, ensuring the UK maintains its leading position as a global financial services hub. Previously, the UK and the US had established a joint working group to promote stablecoin adoption. In June, the Bank of England removed its previous proposal to cap the amount of stablecoins individuals and businesses could hold, and Deputy Governor Sarah Breeden welcomed the new mandate.
