Turkey's President Erdogan said Ukraine's needs are urgent and Turkey supports Ukraine's request.

CNBC reported on the 7th that rising pricing from leading U.S. AI vendors is prompting rapid uptake of Chinese large AI models in U.S. enterprise deployments on cost grounds. Industry sources say top Chinese open-source and open-weight models lag frontier U.S. models (OpenAI, Anthropic) by roughly 6–9 months on performance but are priced about 60%–90% lower and cover most routine AI tasks. Aggregator OpenRouter data shows Chinese models have accounted for over 30% of tokens called by U.S. firms each week since Feb. 8, peaking at 46%; the prior 12‑month token-share average was 11%.

On July 8, Zhang Yuhang of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology said Beijing will upgrade its 'super-node + industry-node' compute support system, build a compute interconnection platform, and strengthen compute monitoring and supply–demand matching. The city plans a 'domestic-base, external-sourcing' compute layout and will build a 10,000‑card compute cluster, targeting more than 70,000P of added intelligent computing capacity within the year. Beijing will pilot compute–power coordination and green‑power direct supply models,完善 data property-rights, public data licensing and revenue‑sharing frameworks to create a trusted data space and improve data circulation services. It will also accelerate embodied AI and robotics R&D and testing capabilities, and support innovation in smart terminals (smartphones, smart PCs, smart glasses, smart home) along with improved pilot/scale-up services.
