OpenAI wants employees to sell shares to raise money.

OpenAI is reportedly in discussions with investors about a possible stock sale, with the artificial intelligence startup seeking to sell shares at a valuation of $80 billion-$90 billion (roughly Rs. 584.248 billion – Rs. 657.279 billion at current exchange rates), a valuation that nearly triples the amount it was valued at earlier this year.

The deal is expected to allow employees to sell their holdings rather than raise additional capital in the form of new shares issued by the company, the WSJ said. OpenAI has already begun convincing investors, people familiar with the matter said, adding that OpenAI revenue is expected to reach $1 billion this year and billions more by 2024.

The $1 billion figure is consistent with the numbers that broke in the media in August. OpenAI reportedly generates $80 million in monthly revenue, up from $28 million in all of 2022. ChatGPT Plus, its $20-per-month paid version of ChatGPT that launched in February, has fueled OpenAI’s revenue growth.

On the other hand, a stock sale would allow employees to understand the value of their equity without having to wait for the company to go public, could help the company attract top talent and generate liquidity, and would bring OpenAI a new valuation. an $80 billion or higher valuation would make OpenAI one of the most highly valued startups in the world, behind only ByteDance and Musk’s SpaceX.

More money raised, but more money spent
OpenAI aims to sell hundreds of millions of dollars worth of its existing stock to Silicon Valley investors, the report said. In April, OpenAI raised more than $300 million from investors including Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Thrive and K2 Global, valuing the company at $29 billion. This is unrelated to a large investment announced by Microsoft earlier this year, which was completed in January of this year, with an investment size of about $10 billion. By some counts, OpenAI had already received $4 billion in investments in its seven-plus years of existence before it received the $10 billion investment from Microsoft. At this point, OpenAI’s cumulative financing has amounted to 14.3 billion U.S. dollars (about 104.462 billion yuan at the current exchange rate).

While it was reported back in May that OpenAI was looking to raise more money, the share sale, if it continues, will not provide OpenAI with additional working capital, but will only allow its employees to divest some of their shares.

In May, The Information reported that three people with knowledge of OpenAI’s finances had revealed that OpenAI’s losses had roughly doubled to around $540 million as a result of the development of ChatGPT and the hiring of key staff from Google last year. Dylan Patel, principal analyst at consulting firm SemiAnalysis, estimates that it costs $700,000 per day to run ChatGPT.

According to Fortune’s disclosure, the company’s $544.5 million in total expenses for 2022 consists of $416.45 million in compute and data expenses, $89.31 million in employee expenses, and $38.75 million in other operating expenses for which no specific programs were identified. Those costs were racked up before the $10 billion investment Microsoft made earlier in the year.

OpenAI has not stopped upgrading and updating its products, and it’s clear that the huge cost investment continues:

In the early morning hours of September 21st, OpenAI announced that its text-based diagramming tool, DALL-E, will soon be upgraded to DALL-E 3, and will be natively integrated into ChatGPT. Compared to last year’s DALL-E 2, DALL-E 3 is significantly better at understanding text and generating images with the same prompts. The often criticized problem of “not being able to generate text on images” has also been solved in this update.

On September 26th, OpenAI launched multimodal ChatGPT, which, in addition to the usual text box interactions, will introduce voice and images to Plus and Enterprise users, allowing them to have a conversation with their voice or show ChatGPT what they are talking about. Voice will be available on iOS and Android (opt-in in your settings) and images will be available on all platforms.

Also on August 16, OpenAI announced that it had acquired the team at Global Illumination, its first foreign acquisition since its founding in 2015, but did not disclose the amount of money involved in the deal.

While the company’s revenue grew after OpenAI launched a paid version of its chatbot in February, those costs are likely to continue to rise as more customers use its AI technology and the company trains for future versions of the software. In fact, Microsoft and other recent investors have covered most of these costs, but they may stop investing if OpenAI doesn’t turn a profit soon.

Meanwhile, on August 24th, media reported that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman will travel to Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, and other places in the second half of the year to seek financing, which will be on a huge scale of no less than $100 billion.

It is reported that the story Altman told to VCs is not limited to AGI general artificial intelligence, he said that OpenAI’s goal is to realize Super intelligence (Super intelligence), for example, can attack cancer in a month. But OpenAI is still very far from that goal, and the amount of money OpenAI needs to achieve it is unimaginable.

For now, Altman has no plans to raise money through an IPO. In June, Altman said he wasn’t interested in going public because he didn’t want to be sued by the public markets, Wall Street, and so on. He explained that when developing AI, he may make some decisions that seem very strange to public market investors.

The biggest investor, too, can’t be pitched
Microsoft took a 49 percent stake in OpenAI after investing $10 billion in the company earlier this year. As part of the deal, OpenAI promised to work with it and integrate its AI software with Microsoft’s products in exchange for computing resources to train and run its models. Microsoft has indeed raced to build AI capabilities into most of its software products, including the GPT-4-based Windows Copilot, but today, big models are putting pressure on Microsoft as well.

The company is concerned that with Windows having more than a billion users worldwide, the cost of running these AI features could grow rapidly. And Microsoft doesn’t want to give up the financial benefits of its new AI offerings, so it’s looking for low-cost alternatives.

In recent weeks, Peter Lee, who oversees Microsoft’s 1,500 researchers, instructed many of them to develop conversational AI, which may not perform as well as GPT-4 but is smaller and much cheaper to run, according to people familiar with the matter.

Microsoft’s research team reportedly has no illusions about developing large AI models like GPT-4. The team doesn’t have the same computational resources as OpenAI, nor does it have a significant amount of human labor to provide feedback on the questions answered by LLM for engineers to improve.

Microsoft’s efforts to move to more efficient AI models are still in the early stages, though the company has reportedly begun testing internally developed models in services like Bing Chat.

Mikhail Parakhin, head of Microsoft’s search division, has previously said that Bing Chat relies 100 percent on GPT-4’s creativity and accuracy model. However, in its balanced model, it uses a new model called Prometheus and a Turing language model. The latter are not as powerful as GPT-4: they can recognize and answer simple questions, but when they are faced with tougher ones, they pass them on to GPT-4.

On the coding front, Microsoft recently unveiled its 1.3 billion-parameter Phi-1 model, which is said to be trained on “textbook-quality” data and generates code in a much more efficient way, but it’s not quite up to GPT-4 standards.

The company is also working on other AI models, such as Orca’s open-source Meta-based Llama-2 model. According to the report, Orca’s performance is close to that of OpenAI’s model, although it’s smaller and consumes fewer resources.

Microsoft’s AI research division has about 2,000 graphics cards from NVIDIA available for use, and Lee has now ordered that most of them be used to train more efficient models focused on performing specific tasks, rather than the more general-purpose GPT-4, according to the report.

There’s no denying that OpenAI and other developers, including Google and Anthropic, are ahead of Microsoft in developing advanced LLMs, but Microsoft may be able to compete in the race to build models of similar quality to OpenAI’s software at a fraction of the cost.

Russia launches missiles simultaneously in four environments for the first time in 30 years

The launches took place as part of the Finval-2023 naval drills that were held to train the military to protect communications across the Northern Sea Route.

For the first time in its modern history, Russia has conducted military exercises involving the simultaneous firing of sea-, air-, coast-, and submarine-launched missiles.

“For the first time in [Russia’s] modern history, we carried out missile firings across four environments at once: from air, sea, shore, and below the water surface,” representatives of the Pacific Fleet Information Support Department said upon the completion of the drills.

It has been clarified that this was the first case of conducting such firings in Russia’s post-Soviet era.

The announcement was made by the Information Support Department for the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Armed Forces as they reported on the Finval-2023 naval drills.

Finval-2023 was headed by Nikolay Yevmenov, a Russian admiral currently serving as the commander-in-chief of the Russian Navy, and was held in the Chukchi and Bering Seas, as well as on the Chukchi Peninsula. The drills were aimed at maintaining communications across the Northern Sea Route. On Monday, the Russian Defense Ministry announced the completion of the exercises. The forces involved have begun to return to their permanent deployment bases.

Roughly 10,000 servicemen and over 50 units of military equipment were involved in the exercises. The equipment included surface and support ships, submarines, naval airplanes and helicopters, Bal and Bastion coastal missile systems, as well as high-capability all-terrain wheeled and tracked armored vehicles.

The exercises were defense-oriented and were designed to improve the training of troops to operate on the northeastern borders of the Russian Federation, the Defense Ministry noted.

Hungarian PM: abandoning Russian energy is not in the EU’s interest, but Hungary is powerless to resist it

Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán Viktor expressed his opinion that Europe’s decision to give up Russian energy resources is not in Europe’s interest, but at a time when Budapest is not strong enough to resist it, it will have to minimize the negative consequences for itself.

Speaking to MPs on the first day of the fall session of the Hungarian parliament, Orbán said, “Brussels has decided to make Europe give up Russian energy resources. I think this is against the interests of Europe, including Hungary. But right now we are not strong enough to resist it. The government’s goal can only be to minimize the negative effects of Brussels’ decision and adapt to the new situation.”

Western countries have increased pressure on Russia to impose sanctions over Ukraine, which has led to higher electricity, fuel and food prices in Europe and the United States. Russian President Vladimir Putin previously said that the policy of containing and weakening Russia is a long-term strategy of the West, and that the sanctions have dealt a severe blow to the entire world economy. According to him, the West’s main goal is to make life worse for millions of people. Russia has repeatedly said that it will solve all the problems created for it by the West.

First Batch of US-Made Abrams Tanks Arrive in Ukraine – Reports

On Friday, during talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, US President Joe Biden said that Abrams tanks would arrive in Ukraine next week.

According to media reports citing US defense officials, the first US-made Abrams tanks have been delivered to Ukraine, months ahead of initial estimates.

Additional M1 Abrams tanks will be sent in the next few months, the officials added, noting that the ones which have already been sent to Ukraine represent the first batch of 31 that have been promised by the Biden administration.

Head of Ukraine’s Military Intelligence Doubts Abrams Tanks Will Last Long on Battlefield

The Ukrainian counteroffensive began on 4 June. Kiev has deployed brigades trained by NATO instructors and armed with Western equipment, including Leopard and Challenger tanks. Three months on, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the Ukrainian counteroffensive had failed, with Ukraine suffering an estimated 71,000 casualties. According to President Putin, Russian forces have destroyed 543 tanks and about 18,000 armored vehicles belonging to the Ukrainian military during the ‘counteroffensive’.

Several Western officials have also admitted that the Ukrainian counteroffensive has not been successful so far.

RIA Novosti: Russian reconnaissance destroys Ukrainian Leopard tank with Wehrmacht crew on board

The commander of the Russian Armed Forces reconnaissance group operating on the Zaporozhye side told Sputnik that Russian Armed Forces reconnaissance destroyed a Ukrainian Leopard tank with an all-German crew made up of Wehrmacht servicemen.

The commander of the reconnaissance group said: “When we stopped them from making another “physical” attack and destroyed a Leopard tank with the help of anti-tank missiles, we went to the burned equipment in the hope of taking prisoners. We found that the driver of the tank had been seriously wounded and the rest of the men were dead. When the tank driver woke up and saw us, he started to shout “Nicht schiessen” (Don’t shoot). I had good German and was an honor student in school. “
The Russian serviceman emphasized that the driver of the destroyed tank “said several times” that he was not a mercenary, that he was a soldier of the Wehrmacht and that the entire crew was from the same company. The scouts said that in providing first aid to the German serviceman, the German serviceman named his unit and its location.

The commander of the scout group said, “I asked the doctor how long the German would live, and the doctor replied that it would be a few minutes. I told this German that his wounds were so bad that his chances of surviving were slim. He said that he loved his children and his wife very much and was sorry that he had agreed to come here. We started preparing to resuscitate him, but he lost consciousness and died two minutes later.”

Russia has already sent a note to the NATO countries on the issue of arms supplies to Ukraine. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that any supplies containing weapons for Ukraine will become a legitimate target for Russia. The Russian Foreign Ministry said that NATO countries are “playing with fire” by providing weapons to Ukraine. The Kremlin said that the delivery of weapons from Western countries to Ukraine will not contribute to the success of the Russian-Ukrainian negotiations and will have a negative impact. According to Lavrov, the United States and NATO are directly participating in the Ukrainian conflict “not only by supplying weapons, but also by training personnel on the territory of the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy and other countries.”

Kremlin outraged by Canadian parliament’s tribute to former SS member

There is no statute of limitations for Nazi crimes, and ignorance of the history of the Second World War breeds “new manifestations of fascism,” Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said, commenting on the appearance in the Canadian parliament of 98-year-old Yaroslav Honka, a former member of the SS “Galician” division.
Peskov, deputy head of the Russian president’s office, said, “No matter how old they are, there is no statute of limitations on these crimes here… … Such hasty sloppiness is certainly outrageous.”


Peskov said a generation growing up in the West did not understand the history of the 20th century.
A Kremlin spokesman added: “We know that many Western countries, including Canada, have raised a young generation that has no idea who fought who and what happened during the Second World War. They are ignorant of the threat of fascism. This breeds that fascism will manifest itself here and there. And we are now seeing how it is trying to get back on its feet in the center of Europe, in Ukraine, and we are fighting it uncompromisingly.”

Among the guests invited to the parliamentary session as a result of Zelensky’s visit was 98-year-old Yaroslav Honka, whom the speaker of the House of Representatives introduced to the applause of the audience as “a fighter for Ukraine’s independence against the Russians during the Second World War.
In fact, Honka was a former member of the German SS “Galicia” volunteer division, a group of Ukrainian nationalists who not only fought against the Red Army, but were also known for their atrocities against Jews, Poles, Belarusians and Slovaks.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that neither he nor Vladimir Zelensky and his delegation knew about the plans of the Speaker of the House of Commons of the Canadian Parliament, Anthony Rota, to invite and honor elderly Ukrainian SS men.

Huawei: 5G-A era to be ushered in by 2024

On September 23, the 19th Asian Games will open in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, 13,000 sportsmen and women will compete for more than 480 gold medals in the Asian Games.

The first 5G-A naked-eye 3D service, the world’s first 5G-A high-quality routes and so on.

On the eve of the commercialization of 5G-A, the Asian Games has become the best stage to demonstrate the revolutionary capabilities of 5G-A.

“The industry will usher in the 5G-A era in 2024.” Du Yeqing, Huawei’s chief wireless expert in China, said.


Driving the accelerated commercialization of 5G-A

The development of 5G has taken shape in four years, with 4.2 million 5G sites built globally, of which 3.05 million 5G sites are in China; global 5G users have exceeded 1 billion, of which more than 600 million 5G users are in China.

In the 5G-A era, can China maintain a leading position? China’s industrial chain is pushing 5G-A from industrial consensus to accelerated commercialization.

On September 11, 2023, Huawei took the lead in completing all functional test cases of 5G-A under the organization of IMT-2020 (5G) Promotion Group. The test covered key 5G-A technologies for upstream and downstream ultra-wideband and broadband real-time interaction.

“Huawei has fully completed the testing of key technologies such as 5G-A functions and performance.” Zhu Xiaodan, vice president of marketing for Huawei’s wireless network product line, told IT Times.

5G-A (5G-Advanced) as the evolution and enhancement of 5G, the connection rate and delay and other network capabilities to achieve a 10-fold increase, the main six major enhancements: downstream 10 megabit, upstream gigabit, one hundred billion links, low-latency high-reliability, millimeter-level positioning, and transform into a “hexagonal warrior”. In addition to the deterministic capabilities of connection rate, latency and high reliability, 5G-A has three other revolutionary capabilities: passive sensing, passive IoT and endogenous intelligence.

“5G-A is based on the evolution and enhancement of 5G, and is the path to 6G. On the one hand, 5G-A effectively supports the scale growth of 5G applications and the development of digital innovation; on the other hand, 5G-A, as a necessary path to 6G, will validate a portion of the key 6G technologies in advance, accumulating important experience for the development of 6G standards and the landing of technologies.” Zhu Xiaodan said as follows.

The first version of 5G-A, R18, will be frozen in the first half of 2024, and the industry chain is accelerating its pre-commercial preparations from networks, terminals to applications. Huawei expects the industry to usher in the 5G-A era in 2024.

Du Yeqing also summarized the five major trends of 5G-A: in the future, 5G-A will move towards immersive interactive experience in “connecting people”, towards full-scene connectivity in “connecting things”, and towards core production links in “connecting industries”. In the future, 5G-A will move towards immersive interactive experience in “connecting people”, full-scene connectivity in “connecting things”, core production in “connecting industries”, high-reliability intelligent transportation in “connecting vehicles”, and ultra-high-definition 3D screens in “connecting families”, empowering the transformation and upgrading of the whole industry.

5G-A terminals and explosive applications are gradually maturing
The most important part of the maturity of the 5G-A industry is the maturity of terminals. At present, computers and PADs supporting 5G-A applications are already on the market.

According to Luo Zinan, senior product manager of Acer China, Acer is currently launching naked eye 3D products covering a variety of forms, such as creation books, game books, monitors, etc., which are widely used in the fields of graphic design, gaming, medical care, education and so on.

Terminals alone without applications can’t put 5G-A on the fast track. Currently, naked eye 3D, XR is the most obvious C-end user perception of 5G-A burst application, because these two applications on the downlink rate requirements are extremely high, and 5G-A can provide 10Gbps downlink rate, 1Gbps uplink rate of the ultra-large bandwidth capacity just can support.

The IT Times reporter made a special trip to experience the computer and PAD supporting naked eye 3D in a moving car, even at high speeds, it is not easy to produce a sense of vertigo, especially naked eye 3D games, so that people have a more immersive feeling. During the Asian Games, viewers will also be able to watch the games in 3D. After transcoding in the cloud, 2D live video can be converted into 3D content in real time, with no significant delay under 5G-A plus.

This was possible due to the deployment of 5G-A base stations along the route.

On September 14, nine days before the countdown to the Hangzhou Asian Games, IT Times experienced a 5G-A 10Gbps route: starting from Zhejiang Mobile Company, the route passed through the Boao Tunnel, Guanlan Road, Fengbei Road, and Pinglan Road, and along the way, it demonstrated 5G-A’s pilots of low-altitude passive sensing, road passive sensing, and passive IOT in logistics.

Guanlan Road has become one of the world’s “fastest” roads, a scenic road connecting the Olympic Sports Center and the Asian Games Village, with 13 5G-A sites along the road, the first in the world to realize the deployment of 10 Gigabit networks, with peak wireless network speeds of more than 10 Gbps, and network speeds of more than 5 Gbps in the mobile state, reaching the 5G-A network speed standard. The 5G-A network speed standard, which is ten times higher than the 5G rate, can meet the higher demand for network of C-end applications such as naked eye 3D and XR cloud game.

For the B-side, 5G-A passive IOT has the characteristics of low cost, self-supply, wide applicability, green and low-carbon, enabling hundreds of billions of connections in warehouse inventory, production line digitization, logistics tracking and other scenarios.

In the Asian Games Village, Yuantong Logistics adopts 5G-A passive IOT technology with the support of its partners to realize remote automatic inspection and real-time scheduling and management of logistics vehicles, so as to ensure the safe and efficient operation of Asian Games material transportation.

Zhao Weiwei, head of operation of Yuantong’s Asian Games Village logistics service guarantee group, introduced that through the automatic inspection of 5G network, the battery surface temperature of every logistics vehicle in the Asian Games Village can be monitored in real time at the minute level. These data are not only reported at a frequency of minute level, but can also be presented directly on the big screen for real-time monitoring and management by staff.

How to protect the Asian Games major events site network smooth, and carry the opening and closing ceremonies 100,000 people at the same time the ultimate challenge of the Internet? Network intelligence technology comes in handy.

In the 48 competition venues of the Hangzhou Asian Games, Zhejiang Mobile joined hands with Huawei’s intelligent heavy security solution based on digital twins and AI, predicted network hazards with high precision, and shortened the inspection time of the server room from 30 minutes to 10 minutes using AR technology. The venue presents real-time network posture, real-time perception and response to network emergencies, combined with indoor environment positioning technology, cell phones automatically find hidden equipment, combined with AR technology to visualize the root cause of the fault, troubleshooting efficiency by 50%.

The next step in the development of 5G will usher in the era of 10,000 trillion, and 5G-A will move from the Asian Games to every corner of life.

Japan to launch second round of nuclear-contaminated water discharge to sea

A full month has passed since the Japanese government and Tokyo Electric Power Company forced the start of the Fukushima nuclear contaminated water discharge. A number of Japanese media reports said that the second round of discharge is expected to be launched at the end of this month to early October.

More than 1.3 million tons of nuclear contaminated water is stored in the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. The Japanese government and the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) have decided to discharge the nuclear contaminated water into the sea after treatment and dilution by the Multi-Nuclide Treatment System (MNTS) on the grounds that a large number of storage tanks in the plant hindered the operation of the waste reactor. Although the decision to discharge into the sea was strongly opposed by Japan and abroad, the Japanese government and TEPCO still started the discharge of nuclear contaminated water into the sea on August 24th. The afternoon of September 11 local time, Japan’s Fukushima nuclear power plant, the first batch of nuclear contaminated water all discharged, meaning that about 7,800 tons of nuclear contaminated water has flowed into the Pacific Ocean.

According to the latest Japanese media reports, the second round of Fukushima nuclear contaminated water discharge will be scheduled to start at the end of September to early October, TEPCO is currently preparing for the second round of discharge.

According to the plan previously announced by TEPCO, the total amount of nuclear contaminated water to be discharged in the second round is still expected to be around 7,800 tons. Until the end of March next year, TEPCO will carry out a total of four rounds of discharge of nuclear contaminated water, the total amount of discharge is about 31,200 tons, accounting for 2.3% of the total amount of nuclear contaminated water, equivalent to the emptying of about 40 storage tanks. More than 1,000 other tanks of nuclear contaminated water will be discharged in the future.

Some data show that before the start of the official discharge, nuclear contaminated water has been stored to 1.3 million tons, to the nuclear contaminated water all discharged, the above operation will also be countless times the cycle, the entire discharge process will take at least 30 years.

With the Fukushima nuclear contaminated water discharged into the sea, Japan’s exports of aquatic products seriously hampered. In Hokkaido, the main producer of scallops, a sharp decline in exports has led to a backlog of scallop stocks, warehouse storage space is insufficient. Some merchants said that the backlog of inventory is expected to reach 5,000 tons to 6,000 tons by the end of the year. Against the backdrop of rising electricity costs in Japan, the cost of storage for merchants is also rising. In order to minimize losses, some producing regions have begun to reduce stocks by distributing them free of charge for use as school meals. In addition, a fishery group in Aomori Prefecture said it would abandon a large-scale sea cucumber fishery scheduled for October due to the drop in sea cucumber prices.

In response to the Japanese government and TEPCO forcing the start of the Fukushima nuclear contaminated water discharge, the Hokkaido Hakodate City Council recently voted to adopt a statement condemning the Japanese government and TEPCO for reneging on their promises and starting the discharge without the understanding of the people concerned, and calling for the immediate cessation of the discharge because they believe that pushing the discharge is hampering the revitalization of the fishery industry in Fukushima and other places.

Internet speed test: Huawei Mate 60 Pro is 5 times faster than iPhone 15 Pro

Yesterday the iPhone 15 series went on sale and many people got their hands on the first batch of machines.

The other popular flagship in recent times is the Huawei Mate 60 series, which has a very amazing addition to the network in particular, making everyone very curious.

A blogger was the first to test the internet speed of the Huawei Mate 60 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro:

In the same location and at the same time, the Mate 60 Pro download speed reaches 1037Mbps, while the iPhone 15 Pro is only 196Mbps, the gap between the two is more than five times.

Upload speeds also widened the gap, with the Mate 60 Pro reaching 109Mbps upload and the iPhone 15 Pro only 43.2Mbps.

Of course, it is true that this test comparison is not rigorous, just a display reference of the approximate performance of the two phones.

But it is clear that the download speed of 1037Mbps is the standard performance of the Mate 60 Pro.

Previously SpeedTest “speed test network” tool “network speed manager” through the official public number announced the Huawei Mate 60 / Pro series of cell phone network speed test situation, is a combination of tens of thousands of times a large number of tests, more authoritative.

The specific data are as follows:

1.Huawei Mate 60 cell phone users measured network speed

According to the statistics of the big data platform of the speed test network, under the environment of Wi-Fi network, the download network speed of Mate 60 cell phone reaches a maximum of 949.93Mbps, and the upload network speed reaches a maximum of 260.83Mbps;

Under the mobile data network environment, the maximum download speed reaches 973.7Mbps and the maximum upload speed reaches 194.01Mbps.

2. Measured Internet speed of Huawei Mate 60 Pro cell phone users

According to the statistics of the big data platform of Speed Test, under the environment of Wi-Fi network, the download network speed of Mate 60 Pro cell phone reaches up to 1617.97Mbps and the upload network speed reaches up to 621.15Mbps;

Under the mobile data network environment, the maximum download network speed reaches 1205.57Mbps and the maximum upload network speed reaches 877.14Mbps.

In addition to the processor, system, and network speed, the Huawei Mate 60 Pro also features a technology that “breaks the sky” – satellite calls.

The phone can be directly connected to the Tiantong-1 satellite system, so you can make calls even when there is no signal, and the model covers all of China’s territory and territorial waters.

It is worth mentioning that China Telecom has recently issued a heavy benefit for this feature, from now until December 31, all users can experience the “cell phone directly connected to the satellite” function for free.

This is the same starting package that China Telecom just launched for Huawei, the original price is 10 months / month, you can have the ability to make satellite calls, but does not include voice packages, calls have to be charged, 9 yuan / minute.

With this free benefit, it allows everyone to try out the experience when they get the phone, making it easy to understand the operation process, as well as experience and demonstrate this exclusive feature.

Although for daily life, Huawei Mate 60 Pro’s satellite calls may not be too useful, but if you go to the wilderness, deep in the mountains, or if the signal is disconnected after a flood or an earthquake, being able to communicate with the outside world through a direct satellite connection is likely to result in your salvation.

Rare! Taiwan army claims to monitor the movement of ground troops in Fujian, interpreted by mainland military experts

Taiwan’s “United Daily News” said on the 22nd, Taiwan’s defense department on the 21st in the form of a press release, “naming” monitoring of the PLA’s long-distance fire, rocket forces, as well as the dynamics of a ground force in Fujian. Taiwan media said the island’s defense department in the past very little real-time and publicly indicated that the PLA ground force dynamics, but the 17th of this month issued a press release for the first time that the Taiwan military “is closely grasp the monitoring of the PLA’s air defense, far fire and other force dynamics,” the 21st for the second time, “name”! PLA ground forces dynamics, which demonstrates the meaning of monitoring and investigation capabilities thick.


For Taiwan’s defense department claimed to monitor the PLA ground forces, the island military experts believe that, in addition to the PLA aircraft and ships, far fire, rocket forces is a “threat” to Taiwan. In this way, the defense department said, “not only to monitor the navy and air force, but also have the ability to monitor the threat from the land”.
But does the Taiwanese army really have the relevant reconnaissance capabilities? The United Daily News said, because the Taiwan army is not equipped with long-range ground detection radar, remote ground target intelligence acquisition capability has to be strengthened, it is analyzed through other intelligence cooperation channels to obtain the relevant satellite surveillance and detection of real-time information. Taiwan media quoted unnamed officials as saying that the Taiwan military joint intelligence monitoring and detection system, including allied intelligence cooperation pipeline. It is understood that the main U.S. side to provide real-time satellite reconnaissance information.
Mainland military expert Song Zhongping said in an interview with the “Global Times” reporter on the 22nd, the Taiwan army is more concerned about the dynamics of the PLA military services, just before there is no reconnaissance of the PLA’s ground forces, at best, the so-called monitoring of naval and air force ships and aircraft cruising around the island. The recent several times “named” is actually the U.S. military to the Taiwan military into the U.S. intelligence surveillance system, that is to say, the U.S. side to the Taiwan military to provide military intelligence.
Song Zhongping believes that the U.S. military for the Taiwan military to provide the PLA dynamic is deliberate, taking the opportunity to render the PLA’s “military threat theory”. For the Taiwan military, unable to fight the PLA in the mainland coastal provinces and cities deployed military facilities, but the United States will encourage the Taiwan military to buy more long-range guided weapons to fight the PLA in the coastal and even the hinterland of the military capability. In the short term, the so-called “monitoring of PLA ground forces” poses a limited threat to the PLA, but if the United States continues to use this as an excuse to sell weapons to the island, this trend warrants vigilance.
