On June 15th, Baidus DuMate platform completed a core engine upgrade. Through continuous optimization of the Harness engine and multiple engineering aspects, the token consumption during task execution was reduced by 75%, and the corresponding user points consumption was also reduced by 75%, while ensuring that the agents intelligent capabilities and task execution performance were not affected. This is the first time that a significant reduction in task consumption has been achieved in a general-purpose intelligent agent product in China through the Harness engine and engineering optimization.Futures News, June 15th - According to foreign media reports, Malaysian palm oil futures fluctuated downwards on Monday, dragged down by weakness in related edible oil markets in Dalian and Chicago, as well as a drop in crude oil prices. Oil prices fell to their lowest level since March on Monday. This followed statements from US President Trump and the Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister that the two sides had reached a preliminary agreement to end the war and were prepared to resume navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. Weak crude oil futures reduced the attractiveness of palm oil as a feedstock for biodiesel. Asian stock markets generally surged on Monday, the US dollar weakened, and oil prices fell sharply, as the preliminary peace agreement between the US and Iran signaled an easing of global inflationary pressures and reduced the need for further interest rate hikes.June 15th - It was learned from the Anhui Provincial Key Laboratory of Quantum Computing Chips that my countrys "OriginWukong" series of independently developed superconducting quantum computers has completed over 1 million global quantum computing tasks, continuously providing stable and reliable independent quantum computing power to users worldwide. "OriginWukong" is equipped with a quantum-resistant (PQC) cryptographic protection system, achieving a synergistic "spear" and "shield" approach to computing power supply and security protection, and initially establishing a quantum computing service system that is both offensive and defensive.On June 15th, Futures News reported that the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments issued a notice on launching a three-year action plan for energy conservation and carbon reduction in key industries. The notice proposes promoting energy conservation and carbon reduction upgrades in key processes and equipment such as blast furnaces and converters; applying advanced technologies such as high-proportion pelletizing in blast furnaces, top-pressure equalization gas recovery, and oxygen-enriched combustion in hot blast stoves; promoting inter-process interface connection technologies such as one-pot molten iron; orderly carrying out the application of technologies such as hydrogen metallurgy; and accelerating the upgrading of energy-consuming equipment such as motors, fans, water pumps, heat pumps, boilers, oxygen generators, air compressors, and transformers. It also calls for implementing upgrades such as waste heat recovery and waste energy power generation, and strengthening the recovery and utilization of by-product gas, waste heat, and waste pressure. Top-loading coke ovens with a carbonization chamber height of less than 6 meters (rammed coke ovens with a height of less than 5.5 meters), pelletizing equipment with a capacity of less than 1.2 million tons/year, blast furnaces with a capacity of less than 1,200 cubic meters, converters with a capacity of less than 100 tons, electric arc furnaces with a capacity of less than 100 tons (50 tons for alloy steel), and old and inefficient self-owned coal-fired units should be upgraded and transformed as soon as possible. Coke ovens should be equipped with high-efficiency dry quenching devices.Market news: Russian airstrikes in Kyiv, Ukraine, have killed two people.

New York property magnate contests "every element" of contempt order Trump probe

Cushman & Wakefield (NYSE:CWK), which appraised several properties belonging to Donald Trump, protested "every facet" of an order finding it in contempt of court in regard to subpoenas issued in a civil investigation into whether the former president manipulated asset valuations.


Justice Arthur Engoron of a New York state court in Manhattan determined Tuesday that Cushman, one of the world's largest real estate companies, was in contempt and imposed $10,000-per-day fines beginning July 7.


He chastised Cushman for delaying over its most recent date to obtain an extension to comply with subpoenas issued by New York Attorney General Letitia James, adding that the business "had only itself to blame if it chose to disregard the approaching deadlines."


Engoron acknowledged that James subpoenaed Cushman for a "vast" number of documents, but maintained that state law supported such a sweeping demand.


Cushman petitioned a state court of appeals in Manhattan to revisit the contempt ruling against Engoron and provide him extra time to comply with the subpoenas.


Cushman has indicated that it has provided over 650 assessments and several hundred thousand pages of documents since February, and has denied any charges that it has worked in bad faith.


A spokesman for James did not immediately respond to requests for comment.


James, a Democrat, is investigating whether Trump and his family business, the Trump Organization, inflated the assessments of golf courses, hotels, and other real estate to qualify for favorable loans then dropped the prices to avoid paying taxes.


Her office's ability to acquire documents is vital as it prepares to subpoena Trump and two of his adult children, Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump, on July 15.


Trump, a Republican, has called James' inquiry a "politically motivated witch hunt."


When Engoron convicted him in contempt on April 25, he paid $110,000 in fines. On Monday of last week, the court lifted the contempt order.
