CHINA'S WERIDE said it has launched WeRide WITT, a self-developed physical-AI cognitive foundation model. Built on visual-language model capabilities, WITT introduces the "minimum physical fact unit" concept to integrate video, image and text multimodal data, decomposing continuous real-world scenes into identifiable, verifiable fact units and forming a new AI understanding framework centered on physical facts.

U.S. manufacturing output stalled in June, weighed down by a drop in durable-goods production. Factory output, which accounts for roughly three-quarters of total industrial production, was flat month-on-month in June after May was revised to +0.1%; economists had expected +0.1%. Overall industrial production rose 0.1% for the second consecutive month; utilities and mining each climbed 0.4%. Within durables, output of wood products, machinery, electrical equipment and household appliances fell, while growth in computers & electronics and defense & aerospace slowed. Other recent data show some manufacturing pickup, but renewed U.S.-Iran conflict poses upside risk to energy prices that could raise input costs and suppress demand.
