Storage channel prices move first, enterprise-level granules are brewing a price increase

Multiple storage industry insiders have revealed that some leading companies have verbally informed channel partners of their intention to raise prices for enterprise-grade chips. The official price increase notice has not yet been formally issued, but prices on the channel side have already begun to move, with several agents confirming the aforementioned price increase signals. One agent from SK Hynix stated that prices are increasing daily and observed that the second-hand recovery prices are continuously rising, driving overall quotes upward; the price adjustment path involves provincial agents adjusting prices weekly, with the prices of agency products being passed down further.One agent from Samsung indicated that this round of price increases is not a universal rise across all categories, but is mainly concentrated on the DRAM contract side and enterprise-grade SSDs at both the manufacturer and channel levels, rather than a comprehensive increase in consumer-grade NAND. This agent noted that the major demand still comes from data centers, while feedback from the grassroots level indicates that demand is generally average. Since the price increases are initially focused on the DRAM contract side and enterprise-grade SSD segment, when prices are transmitted from manufacturers outward, they first reach manufacturing companies and module manufacturers, rather than end consumers.

first_img Embodied Data Collection Price Survey: The hourly wage for a thousand yuan quote terminal drops to 8 yuan, with multi-level subcontracting and resale of copies creating a price difference black hole

According to a report by the Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily, there is a significant price disparity in the embodied intelligence data collection industry. For the same 1-hour period, the listed price for high-quality real machine data can reach 300 to 1000 yuan, while the hourly wage for end collection workers is as low as 8 yuan, with some original data transactions even dropping to 3 to 5 yuan per hour.The investigation found that the price difference mainly stems from multi-level subcontracting and the resale of data copies. A hundred-yuan order from the client, after being passed through five or six intermediaries, leaves the grassroots collectors with only about 15 yuan. The baseline remuneration for county-level projects is around 30 yuan/hour; falling below this standard poses compliance or source risks. Additionally, the resale of non-original data three to five times is "very common" in the industry, with some teams monetizing the same material through private copies or additional equipment for simultaneous recording.The report points out that while the industry loudly claims that high-quality data is scarce, data collection service providers are valued at tens of billions; on the other hand, low-priced copies are rampant, and data traceability has failed. Some intermediaries gain pricing power through order control, with domestic data producers averaging a gross profit of about 20% to 30%.

first_img Google opens Gemini 4 Carbon, API prices will double starting in December

On Tuesday, Google announced that its cutting-edge artificial intelligence model, Gemini 4 Carbon, is now open to paid developers and enterprise customers. Google stated that the model is capable of handling complex programming, cybersecurity, and scientific research tasks that involve multiple steps. Gemini 4 Carbon was released on October 28, having previously been available to select cybersecurity defense agencies through the Fairwind program. Following this opening, paid developers can use the model via the Gemini API in Google AI Studio, while enterprise customers can access it through Gemini for business. Google AI Ultra subscribers will also gradually gain access to the Gemini application, Google Search AI mode, and Antigravity.In early tests, OpenCode software engineer Kit Langton reported that the team submitted a list of requirements to Carbon before the end of the workday, requesting solutions for consistency issues between the application interface and the existing UI framework. After running overnight, Carbon built a Rust UI library from scratch, rewrote the OpenCode desktop application, and provided a runnable demo version. The Wiz team under Google stated that while using Carbon for cyber to scan two large software service providers, the model identified zero-day vulnerabilities within two hours and subsequently collaborated with the affected agencies to complete the fixes. Google did not disclose the names of these service providers or the details of the vulnerabilities. Researchers also combined Carbon with other models, using the AlphaProof Code intelligent agent framework to complete the formal verification of the security properties of the underlying code of the Signal encryption protocol within weeks.In terms of pricing, Google set the initial experience price for Carbon's API at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, the same as Gemini 4 Argon. This offer lasts until November 30, after which the price will double, adjusting to $4 per million input tokens and $20 per million output tokens, applicable to the publicly available Carbon model. Google stated that Carbon ranked first in three benchmark tests: CursorBench 4.0, Perplexity WANDR, and Zapier AutomationBench, with the cost of single-task performance being less than half that of the next best external models. Google also mentioned that the model intercepted 99% of attack paths in a simulated cyberattack test, and achieved a 0% success rate in another prompt injection test.

first_img Robinhood has launched IPO Access in the UK, allowing retail investors to subscribe to new US stocks at the offering price

Robinhood announced the launch of its IPO Access service in the UK, allowing retail investors to submit purchase requests at the official offering price before new stocks officially trade on the US market. Users can submit applications through their regular investment accounts, with the app providing the prospectus and SEC documents for each available new stock for investors to review before deciding whether to subscribe. Robinhood stated that it is collaborating with a UK public offering platform provider to offer access to eligible initial public offerings.This service was first launched in the US in 2021, and Robinhood claims to have participated in over 50 IPOs since then, opening it up to millions of US customers. Jordan Sinclair, President of Robinhood UK, stated that bringing IPO Access to the UK aims to provide the same opportunities for UK retail investors to participate in investments in the next generation of innovative public companies.This launch is a continuation of Robinhood's expansion in the UK. Last year, the company acquired the exchange Bitstamp for $200 million and opened cryptocurrency trading to eligible UK customers through Bitstamp in August of this year, supporting the buying and selling of over 50 cryptocurrencies in its main UK investment app, alongside stocks, ISAs, options, and futures. In July of this year, Robinhood launched the Robinhood Chain mainnet and provided eligible users with 24/7 trading of tokenized stock products. Robinhood stated that there are no commissions for IPO subscriptions but cautioned that participating in IPO investments carries significant risks, with stock price volatility potentially being high, especially in the early stages of listing.
