苹果公司负责人工智能模型的高管将跳槽至Meta，这对这家iPhone制造商举步维艰的AI工作来说又是 一个挫折。 7月7日据媒体报道，苹果基础模型团队的杰出工程师兼经理庞若明将加入Meta新成立的超级智能团 队，获得每年数千万美元的薪酬待遇。 据媒体报道，苹果基础模型团队的多名工程师已向同事表示计划在不久的将来离职，转投Meta或其他 公司。庞若明的主要副手Tom Gunter上个月已经离开苹果。 随着庞若明的离职，苹果基础模型团队将由陈志峰接管。新的组织架构将改变此前大多数工程师直接向 庞若明汇报的结构，采用多层级管理模式。 庞若明在苹果负责管理约100人的基础模型团队，该团队开发的大语言模型为Apple Intelligence和其他 AI功能提供支持。6月，苹果宣布首次向第三方开发者开放这些模型，为iPhone和iPad应用开发开辟新 的可能性。 然而，苹果内部对基础模型团队的态度发生了变化。 今年早些时候，AI高级副总裁John Giannandrea 在内部被边缘化，Siri、机器人技术、Core ML和App Intents框架等消费产品相关团队被剥离出其管辖 范围。 Meta在AI人才招募方面展 ...

不过 资深央行记者 警告， 此类做法通常与新兴市场弱央行相关，可能引发通胀、危机和经济停滞。 7 月 5 日， 《华尔街日报》资深央行记者 Greg Ip 发表了一篇分析文章， 特朗普近期密集要求美联储主席鲍威尔降息， 或让位给愿意降息的人选。 与 以往不同，这次降息要求服务于其财政目标 ——为国会刚通过的减税法案提供融资支持。 文章表示，特朗普正试图打破预算赤字与利率之间的传统联系。传统经济学理论认为，大规模借贷会推高利率，从而抵消减税带来的好处。但特朗普的策 略是通过向美联储施压，强制降低利率来配合其财政政策目标。 美国总统特朗普正在施压美联储降息以降低赤字融资成本 ，这一 " 财政主导 " 策略目前获得投资者支持，推动股市创下新高。 历史上，央行与政府财政长期交织在一起。英格兰银行成立于 1694 年，就是为了帮助君主制筹集资金。 美联储在一战和二战期间都曾协助政府融资，上世纪 60 年代为配合财政部发债而避免紧缩政策，助长了通胀。 这种 " 财政主导 " 模式在历史上通常与阿根廷等新兴市场的薄弱央行相关联，往往导致通胀、危机和经济停滞的组合。然而，在短期内，这种模式可能成 为强有力的经济刺激手段，这也 ...
