According to cnBeta, Nvidia shares plunged 9.26% on Thursday to close at $181.60, wiping $446.94 billion off its market value in a single day. The stock is down about 25% from its October 6 all-time high of $243.37, and its market value has fallen by $1.39 trillion cumulatively to about $4.4 trillion. Yahoo Finance said the stock has now fallen for a fifth consecutive week. American financial broadcaster Jim Cramer posted on X that when a company’s stock becomes the best-value asset in the market, it should buy back its own shares, and said Nvidia could either step up buybacks or let the share price slide. The report said concerns about restrictions on data center construction intensified the selloff. Citi Research data shows that as of October, there were more than 500 cases of data center bans and approval freezes across the United States, compared with nearly zero in mid-2025. Texas Democrat Gina Hinojosa promised during her campaign to pause all data center approvals until
lawmakers pass protective measures, and defeated incumbent Governor Greg Abbott. After the midterm elections, Senator Bernie Sanders renewed calls for a national moratorium, while Representative Yassamin Ansari urged Democrats to push for a ban on artificial superintelligence. Nvidia is down 2.40% year to date and 6.75% over the past year.

According to The Verge, The New York Times reports that The New York Times Company is in exclusive talks with Letterboxd, a social network for movie lovers, to acquire it for about $330 million. The New York Times Company, Sony Pictures Entertainment, and A24 had all previously been rumored to be interested in Letterboxd. The report said the talks include having Letterboxd’s co-founders continue to run the company but report to an executive at The New York Times Company. Letterboxd is expected to remain independently operated for the foreseeable future while integrating The New York Times Company’s advertising technology. A New York Times Company spokesperson, Charlie Stadtlander, declined to comment, and Letterboxd and its current parent company, Tiny Ltd., did not immediately respond to The Verge’s request for comment. If completed, the deal would be another acquisition for The New York Times Company, following Wordle for a low seven-figure sum, Wirecutter for just over $30 million,
and The Athletic for $550 million.

Sina Tech reports that Microsoft is tightening oversight of some data center projects with Nebius, IREN, and Nscale, exiting higher-risk projects, and internally discussing whether to continue signing new “neocloud” deals. Microsoft had signed tens of billions of dollars in contracts with emerging operators to meet cloud and AI demand, but project delays, regulatory hurdles, and high costs have made some executives regretful. Microsoft CFO Amy Hood said on a recent earnings call that delays in some third-party compute deliveries disrupted spending plans. People familiar with the matter said IREN’s Texas project had wiring problems, a generator fire occurred at the campus in April, and IREN disclosed in August that hardware deliveries there were delayed. The two sides agreed on a new schedule last week, with completion possibly delayed by weeks to months. Microsoft also exited several Nscale projects, no longer plans to lease its 1.35 GW of computing capacity in West Virginia, and some
Texas capacity has been taken over by Figure AI. Over the past year, Microsoft added more than $200 billion in data center lease commitments. The company is now focused on expanding its own data centers, but several executives remain strongly hesitant to sign new deals. Gartner estimates that by the end of 2030, 80% of neocloud providers may be consolidated or shut down.

According to an exclusive report from Sina Tech, Xiaomi Auto recently announced a structural adjustment, establishing an International Business Department and appointing Yu Liguo, vice president of the Auto Business Unit, as concurrent general manager of the International Business Department, reporting on a dual-line basis to Group CEO and Auto Business Unit President Lei Jun and Group President Lu Weibing. Under the International Business Department is the Auto International Marketing Department, which will report on a dual-line basis to Yu Liguo and Group Vice President and CMO Xu Fei. It also includes a GTM Department, Sales Department, Network Development Department, Delivery and Logistics Department, User Service Department, General Management Department, and overseas regional departments, all reporting to Yu Liguo. In May this year, Xiaomi Auto had already set up an overseas business preparation group, with Yu Liguo serving as its head. The formal establishment of the
International Business Department and multiple sub-departments means Xiaomi Auto is further accelerating its overseas push. At Xiaomi’s investor day this year, Lu Weibing announced that Xiaomi Auto is expected to officially begin globalization in the second half of 2027, starting with the European market, and then enter right-hand-drive markets in the first half of 2028. During IFA 2026, Xiaomi Auto announced that it will enter the European market, including Germany, in 2027, and signed memoranda of understanding with the first eight leading German auto dealer groups, taking the first step toward building a retail and service network in Europe.

According to TechWeb, ABB Group said in a statement on its website on November 5 that China’s Foreign Investment Security Review Working Mechanism Office has prohibited SoftBank’s acquisition of ABB’s robotics business in China. ABB Robotics ranks second in the global industrial robot market and is known, along with Fanuc, Yaskawa, and Kuka, as one of the “Big Four.” China is its largest robot delivery market, accounting for about 30% of the business. ABB has about 30 companies in China covering nearly 130 cities, and more than 90% of the robots it sells to Chinese customers are produced locally. Its Shanghai mega-factory began production in 2022 with total investment of about $150 million and is one of its three major robot manufacturing bases globally. It also has a research and development team of several hundred people in China. The deal was first announced in October 2025. SoftBank planned to acquire the business at an enterprise value of $5.375 billion and originally expected to
complete the deal in mid-to-late 2026, subject to regulatory approvals in multiple countries, including China. The Financial Times said China’s National Development and Reform Commission made the decision out of concern that robot data could be transferred overseas to train models including OpenAI, in which SoftBank has invested. ABB and SoftBank said they will continue their dialogue.

cnBeta reports, citing two people familiar with the matter via Reuters, that Yangtze Memory Technologies Co., or YMTC, plans to build a fourth wafer fab in Wuhan, with domestic equipment procurement at least 60% and a target of 70%, higher than the just-over-50% level at its third fab. The new fab is expected to break ground in 2027 and produce more than 300-layer NAND flash, focusing on data center and AI applications. The company has had preliminary discussions with some domestic suppliers but has not formally placed equipment purchase orders, and the percentage and timeline may still change.
New orders are expected to concentrate on wafer cleaning, polishing, and etching, potentially benefiting Naura and AMEC. YMTC already uses more domestic equipment in areas such as cleaning and polishing, but still relies on overseas equipment for lithography and inspection. The US added it to the Entity List in December 2022, pushing it to accelerate domestic substitution. Samsung’s Xi’an fab is shifting to 286-layer NAND, while SK Hynix’s Dalian fab plans to upgrade to more than 240 layers.
Omdia data shows that in the second quarter of 2026, YMTC’s share of China’s NAND market was 38.5%, up from 28% in 2025, surpassing Samsung Electronics to take the top spot. Reuters also said the company plans to build two more fabs in Wuhan, bringing the total to five. Once the third through fifth fabs are fully operational, each is expected to process about 100,000 silicon wafers per month, with their combined capacity more than double the current level.

According to QbitAI, Tencent released its new-generation large language model Hunyuan Hy4 on November 4. On November 5, Tencent announced that after Hy4 was first integrated into WorkBuddy and usage surged, it had expanded its Hy4 inference cluster tenfold, raised the free user experience quota, and continued to dynamically allocate resources. Tencent said many users hit their quotas on the first day. Compared with Hy4 preview, Hy4 significantly scaled up data and training in both pre-training and post-training, introduced visual understanding for the first time, and improved overall performance in instruction following, long-text comprehension, and long-horizon agents. In evaluations, the latest Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index shows that among 724 models, Hy4 ranks second among Chinese models, behind only Kimi K3.1 Pro, ahead of Qwen 3.8 Max and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, and tied with Grok 4.7 (xhigh). Its cost per task is about $0.78, making it about 10 times cheaper than Grok 4.7
(xhigh) and 13 times cheaper than Qwen 3.8 Max. On the Agent Arena leaderboard, Hy4 ranks 13th overall, first among open-source models worldwide, and has entered the Pareto Frontier.

According to 36Kr, on October 29, AgiBot co-founder, president, and CTO Zhihui Jun unveiled a new unit of measurement called “Worken” at the Shanghai Expo Center, used to measure robots’ effective intelligent working hours; its Chinese name could be “Zhiyuan.” AgiBot and 3C contract manufacturer Longcheer Technology have deployed the world’s first complete 3C production line covered by embodied intelligence, which went into scaled production in March this year. During a six-day livestream, the robots worked more than 64 hours cumulatively, completed 64,824 pick-and-place operations, and produced 17,625 tablets—one every 22 seconds on average—with only one error allowed per 10,000 operations. Counterpoint Research counts that in the first half of 2026, AgiBot shipped 9,700 robots, with a share of over 43%, ranking No. 1 globally. Zhihui Jun revealed that the 20,000th robot rolled off the line in September, first-half revenue was close to 2 billion yuan, and a Hong Kong listing has been
initiated. Yao Maoqing said Genie G2 at Longcheer has expanded from tablet inspection to phones, completed proof of concept, and is now entering the line integration stage; more than three companies in the 3C industry are working with AgiBot. G2 Max is already used at Longcheer for handling and depalletizing, with a dual-arm payload of 40 kg and a peak of 50 kg. Chimelong in Zhuhai deployed more than 300 robots at once, and Guangzhou Metro deployed more than 120 Genie G2 robots. At Chimelong, the number of robots per maintenance worker has gone from 1:1 to 3:1, with a target of 10:1 by the end of the year.
