​The Cyberspace Administration of China announced that starting from July 24, 2025, a two-month special campaign will be launched to crack down on the dissemination of false information by self-media. The campaign will cover all provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities, and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, aiming to address serious issues such as malicious hype, data fraud, and qualification fraud through dual approaches of technical governance and platform responsibility. The campaign explicitly targets four areas: first, malicious hype behavior, including fabricating false information by impersonating participants or insiders in hot events, as well as forging authoritative data in fields such as finance and military.

The company emphasized its leading position in the smart glasses sector, believing that glasses will become the next-generation computing platform integrating AI and sensing technologies. Recently, they launched the Oakley Meta product and renewed a ten-year partnership agreement. They may also launch Prada smart glasses in the future. Brands such as Ray-Ban have helped the company establish a strong position in the smart wearable market.

The Meta research team introduced an innovative architecture called AU-Net, breaking through the limitations of traditional tokenization techniques. The model learns directly from bytes, dynamically combining bytes into hierarchical sequence representations through a self-regressive U-Net structure. Its contracting path compresses bytes into semantic units, while the expanding path restores information and fuses details, with skip connections preserving local features. A multi-stage pooling strategy is used to extract semantics at the word and phrase levels, and multi-linear upsampling optimizes information fusion. The self-regressive generation mechanism ensures text coherence and significantly improves inference efficiency. This architecture

Meta established a Super Intelligence Lab and has recruited 44 top AI talents, with 40% coming from OpenAI and 50% being Chinese. Zuckerberg is shifting his strategic focus to AI, willing to offer high salaries to attract talent, with a maximum signing bonus of $200 million. The new team has 75% with doctorates and 70% as researchers, with annual salaries ranging from $10 million to $100 million. This move highlights Meta's determination to secure leadership in AI and reflects the intensifying competition for talent in the industry.
