[Multiple Departments Deploy Measures to Accelerate the Application of Artificial Intelligence in Bidding and Tendering] It was learned from the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) that recently, eight departments, including the NDRC, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, jointly issued an implementation opinion on accelerating the application of artificial intelligence in the bidding and tendering field. The opinion clarifies that by the end of 2026, key scenarios such as tender document inspection, intelligent assisted bid evaluation, and collusion detection will achieve full coverage in some provinces and cities; by the end of 2027, more key scenarios will be promoted and applied nationwide, forming a number of experiences and practices in model training, scenario application, and mechanism guarantees, effectively promoting the standardized and healthy development of the bidding and tendering market. A spokesperson for the NDRC stated that the opinion, by promoting the deep integration of bidding and tendering with artificial intelligence, improving the bidding and tendering paradigm, and enhancing the digitalization level of services and supervision, is of great significance for standardizing the order of the bidding and tendering market, optimizing the bidding and tendering market environment, and promoting the construction of a unified national market.

[Following Trump's Anti-DEI Campaign, Goldman Sachs Plans to Remove Diversity Factors from Board Selection Criteria] Sources familiar with the matter revealed that Goldman Sachs is preparing to remove race, gender identity, sexual orientation, and other diversity-related factors from its board's criteria for evaluating potential candidates. Since taking office last year, US President Trump has launched a broad campaign against government and private sector diversity, fairness, and inclusion (DEI) practices, calling them discriminatory. Under pressure from the Trump administration, several corporate giants, including Morgan Stanley and Citigroup, have softened their diversity commitments. It is understood that Goldman Sachs made this decision at the request of the conservative activist group, the nonprofit National Center for Law and Policy. As a minority shareholder in Goldman Sachs, the center submitted a proposal last September urging the company to eliminate DEI criteria.

[Farewell to the Lab: Songyan Power's Bionic Face Products Deployed in Multiple Scenarios, Including Commercial Guiding] Songyan Power revealed that its bionic humanoid robot went from being selected for the Spring Festival Gala to completing three iterations in just two months, achieving a highly efficient breakthrough from technology research and development to practical application. The company has made several advancements in bionic face technology: by adding polymer materials to platinum silicone, it has improved the naturalness and durability of facial stretching; simultaneously, under a highly compact drive design, 32 motors have been deployed in a limited space for facial motion actuation. Furthermore, Songyan Power has independently developed a multimodal collaborative expression model, covering lip movements, facial expressions, eye contact, neck posture, and gestures, enabling the robot to simulate breathing fluctuations and enhance expressiveness through neck and arm movements during dialogue. Despite the high technical difficulty, Songyan Power emphasizes that its bionic robot is not a "laboratory product." By 2025, the company had deployed related products in multiple practical scenarios, including commercial guiding, becoming one of the few companies in the industry with the capability to mass-produce bionic humanoid robots.

According to Magic Atom, at the Yibin branch venue of the Spring Festival Gala, hundreds of Magic Atom quadruped robots appeared as "special actors," portraying giant pandas. These robotic pandas could naturally tilt and turn their heads. To achieve this effect, Magic Atom introduced a three-degree-of-freedom head drive system into the robot's body to establish mechanical coupling between its body, the panda's outer covering, and the motor module. Simultaneously, the control system was also rebuilt, allowing the robotic panda's head rotation to coordinate with its gait and formation rhythm. Meanwhile, hundreds of robots needed to receive high-frequency control commands within the same time window. To avoid latency buildup or dropped frames, Magic Atom broke down the overall movement into standardized poses and time sequences, using unified encoding for distribution and single-machine decoding for execution, achieving millisecond-level synchronization in high-density scheduling scenarios.

【Short-term trading advice for US crude oil: Oscillating upward, buy on dips】 (1) Reasons for analysis: International oil prices fluctuate between geopolitical risks and expectations of peace negotiations. Market attention to the US-Iran nuclear negotiations has boosted short-term risk premiums, but the overall supply and demand fundamentals have not seen substantial improvement. OPEC+ is still in the process of increasing production, and the momentum of global demand recovery remains limited. At the same time, if the geopolitical situation eases, oil prices may fall again, and the potential upside potential is limited before breaking through key resistance. Changes in the US dollar and macro risk sentiment will also continue to affect oil price performance. Technically, WTI is constrained by key resistance in the short term, with a clear fluctuation range, waiting for a directional choice. (2) Key focus: geopolitical situation, trade sentiment, inventory data, US dollar index (3) Resistance: 64.00, 64.30, 64.60 (4) Support: 63.00, 62.60, 62.30

【Short-term trading advice for spot gold: high-level fluctuations, sell on rallies and buy on dips】 (1) Reasons for analysis: Gold fell below $5,000 again due to insufficient liquidity caused by the US holiday and Chinese New Year, putting short-term pressure on prices. Although on the fundamental side, mild inflation data continues to support market expectations for Fed rate cuts, as CPI is about 2.4% and prompts a decline in real yields, which is a medium-term positive for gold, the short-term rebound of the US dollar and stable yields limit the rapid breakthrough of gold. The latest market analysis shows that as long as the prospect of substantial rate cuts remains the focus of the market, the fundamentals of gold are still bullish, but in the short term, after breaking through important support, it has entered a range-bound fluctuation, waiting for correction, and paying attention to the guidance of US economic data this week. (2) Key focus: US Treasury yields, US dollar index, geopolitical situation (3) Resistance: 5,000, 5,030, 5,060 (4) Support: 4,930, 4,900, 4,880;
