Price Outlook - The short-term price trend is expected to be volatile, with no new highs anticipated within the year. Future trends are upward, but the degree of supply-demand mismatch will influence price levels, leading to cautious views on absolute price heights [1]. Demand and Supply Analysis - In the short term, demand is projected to see a slight month-on-month increase in production next month. However, due to the approaching Spring Festival holiday, subsequent production (demand) may experience a slight decline, making sustained net demand increases unlikely. On the supply side, high prices are leading to an influx of overseas mines, coupled with increased expectations for the resumption of production at a major mine in Jiangxi, resulting in a gradual increase in weekly supply. Monthly inventory reduction may continue to narrow or even halt [2]. Mid-term Industry Outlook - The lithium carbonate industry is currently in a dual growth phase for both supply and demand. The extent of price rebound will largely depend on the degree of supply-demand mismatch during peak seasons. However, the industry remains cautious about absolute price heights due to existing inventory held by overseas mining companies, which will gradually be released. Additionally, under high price conditions, previously suspended or underperforming overseas mining capacities are expected to come back online, leading to significant supply increases that may suppress the extent of price rebounds [3].

Company Strategy Choices - The company will return to an entrepreneurial organizational model led by the founding team starting from Q4 2025, abandoning the professional management model attempted over the past three years. This decision is based on the rapidly changing industry technology and competitive environment, as well as the founder's extensive experience in startups [18][19]. - The product direction will focus on embodied AI robots rather than just electric vehicles or smart devices. This choice is made to avoid competition based solely on parameters like range and price, and to address user needs in high-frequency life scenarios [18][19]. Technical Route Selection - The company will build a full-stack AI system oriented towards the physical world instead of a language model route. Key breakthroughs will focus on enhancing perception capabilities with 3D Vision Transformers, which could increase effective perception range by 2-3 times [19][20]. - The model layer will aim to optimize the operating frequency of models, with a target to increase the current 10Hz frequency of a 4 billion parameter MOE model by 2-3 times, requiring customized GPU architecture and operating systems [20]. - The hardware layer will develop the Drive Biowire system to reduce the response time from 550 milliseconds to 350 milliseconds, potentially lowering accident rates by over 50% [21].
