According to reports from Huxiu Technology, Jieyue Xingchen is advancing along two strategic lines: one centered around large models, and the other focused on intelligent terminal devices. The mobile phone business has been placed under the independent company "Zhiyue Xingchen," operated by a team with backgrounds in Huawei and Honor, led by terminal president Ni Jiayue. Jieyue's first intelligent terminal phone STEPX Neo was unveiled during WAIC, but the price and mass production schedule have not been announced. Huxiu has learned that Jieyue is building an overseas commercialization team, planning to sell large model APIs (primarily voice models) overseas, and mobile phones will also be included in the overseas sales plan.Jieyue Xingchen's chairman Yin Qi previously attempted the "AI + car" path at Qianli Technology (formerly Lifan Technology), and this time, using mobile phones as the first piece of the terminal strategy aims to establish a closed-loop system of "model---operating system---terminal." The phone is equipped with the Step AOS intelligent terminal operating system, positioned as a carrier for intelligent terminal services, with the business model ultimately returning to Token consumption. Jieyue also maintains model collaborations with 60% of top domestic mobile phone brands, with existing installations exceeding 42 million units, but the potential competitive relationship with its own mobile phone business remains unclear. As of the time of publication, Jieyue Xingchen has not commented.

CEO Cristiano Amon stated that revenue from Apple will enter a phase of accelerated decline, and due to supply chain constraints, Qualcomm's component share in the next-generation iPhone is "far below the previously estimated 20%." To cope with the contraction of its Apple business, Qualcomm is accelerating its diversification transformation, expecting its data center business to achieve approximately $5 billion in revenue by fiscal year 2027, and has completed the acquisition of AI software company Modular. Qualcomm plans to adjust prices for some products starting September 1 to address rising costs across the entire supply chain.

According to TechRepublic, Elon Musk recently acquired the mobile power generation company APR Energy, with the deal valued at least around $1 billion. According to regulatory documents, Duos Technologies sold its 5% non-voting shares in New APR Energy, gaining a net profit of $50.4 million, which implies the company's overall valuation exceeds $1 billion.APR Energy is headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, USA, and specializes in rapidly deployable gas and diesel generator sets, providing temporary or supplemental power for scenarios such as data centers. Its total power generation capacity exceeds 1 GW and can complete some project deployments within 15 to 30 days.

Thompson stated that he proposed a "reasonable solution: to offset the excess tokens against the upcoming quarterly dividends due in about 60 days." Three months later, the company issued him a "notice of material breach and termination of contract." The case is still pending in court.
