DingTalk develops independently, Ali strategically incubates innovative businesses to accelerate
On August 14, Alibaba Group confirmed that DingTalk will develop independently as an independent business within the Alibaba Group. After releasing the new organizational structure of "1+6+N" in March this year, Alibaba Cloud, Cainiao, Hema and other departments successively announced their time-to-market plans. DingTalk, which had previously been deeply integrated with Alibaba Cloud, also welcomed the independent Opportunity. Dingding split from Alibaba Cloud Intelligence Group is surprising. "Cloud-Ding Integration" has been implemented for three years, and Alibaba Cloud and DingTalk have been deeply integrated in organization, business, and finance, benefiting from it. Regarding the split of the two, an industry insider believes that if they are tied together, the growth rate may all drop, and then the productivity will not be fully released. Although Dingding still has plans to go public like Alibaba Cloud and Hema, it is rumored that some investment institutions have hope for Dingding. As China's largest office SaaS platform with 600 million users, DingTalk, a "solo" company, will usher in a new development situation. (Geek Park)
China overtakes U.S. as largest iPhone market for first time
The data shows that in the second quarter of 2023, Apple's iPhone global shipments fell by 9.3% year-on-year to 43.1 million units, with a market share of 16.0%. Apple did not launch the iPhone SE in 2023, which was one of the reasons for the decline in Apple's shipments during the quarter. Driven by higher sales of the iPhone 14 series of Pro models, Apple's average selling price (ASP) hit a record high in the second quarter. In addition, China surpassed the United States for the first time in the quarter to become the largest single market for iPhone shipments. (Interface News)
The parties in the first case of the theft of large model data reconciled, and the two parties have eliminated misunderstandings
Recently, the AI-assisted writing product Bishen Composition, invested by Century Tianhong, issued a statement saying that it had decided on August 4 that it would no longer think about learning and initiated a lawsuit against related data retrieval incidents. Bishen Composition stated that after in-depth investigation and frank communication with Xueersi, the two parties have reached an agreement on the disputed terms, the two parties have eliminated the misunderstanding, and will continue to deepen cooperation and jointly promote the exploration of AI technology in the field of education.
Two months ago, Bishen Composition issued a statement on the afternoon of June 13, accusing its partner Xueersi of “stealing” composition inventory data to train the upcoming AI large-scale model product. Bishen Composition stated that it will resolve the dispute through judicial procedures, requiring Xueersi to pay 1 yuan in compensation, make a public apology, delete the crawled data, and call it "the first case of AI large model data theft" in China. That night, Xueersi quickly responded that the use of Bishen Composition data fell within the scope of normal cooperation agreed in the contract between the two parties, and that Bishen Composition's "subjective speculation" was "seriously inconsistent with the facts."

Amazon's Alexa and Echo senior vice president David Limp plans to leave
On August 15, Beijing time, an Amazon spokesperson confirmed that David Limp, Amazon's senior vice president for devices and services, plans to leave after working at Amazon for more than 13 years. David Limp oversees the development of the company's consumer electronics devices, such as the Kindle, Fire TV and Echo, as well as the Alexa voice assistant, of which only the Kindle is selling well, but overall these devices and services have struggled to make money. People familiar with Limp's plans say it's proving particularly challenging to turn a profit this way, especially with the Echo line of devices. Limp's division has been the target of cost-cutting efforts. Amazon has shed about 27,000 jobs across the company in the past year. Limp's exit plan marks yet another turmoil in Amazon's top leadership core, which was relatively stable before Andy Jassy took over as CEO, after which some members have left over the past two years.
