Thirteen drainage teams organized by the Ministry of Emergency Management have been sent to flood-hit Zhoukou, with a combined drainage capacity of about 220,000 cubic meters per hour, while local authorities have ordered a crackdown on price gouging in vehicle towing and repair businesses amid the flooding.
The teams, mobilized from Henan, Shaanxi, Jiangsu, Anhui, Shandong and Hunan, include a natural disaster emergency rescue center operated by China Aneng Group, with all 13 teams arriving in Zhoukou by 9 am on Sunday and beginning drainage operations, the People's Daily reported Sunday.
According to the Zhoukou transport bureau's official WeChat account on Sunday, the bureau has issued a notice ordering towing and vehicle repair businesses to strictly implement price transparency and banning unreasonable price hikes.
The notice said some towing and vehicle repair businesses had taken advantage of the disaster to raise prices, demand excessive fees and fail to display prices clearly, while some repair businesses had inflated repair quotations and charged for unnecessary repairing operations, seriously infringing on the rights of affected residents.
Towing agencies must inform vehicle owners of service items, charging standards and estimated total costs before starting work, and obtain their consent. Repair businesses handling flood-damaged vehicles must accurately assess vehicle conditions, explain repair plans, parts lists and estimated costs in advance, and obtain owners' approval for any additional repairs.
Authorities said businesses must not fabricate vehicle faults, substitute inferior parts, list nonexistent repair items or arbitrarily raise repair prices. Transport law enforcement agencies will strictly investigate illegal overcharging during the disaster, with typical cases to be publicly exposed.
Zhoukou was hit by severe flooding after a section of the Jialu River embankment on the river's eastern bank breached at around 11 pm on August 13. The breach, about 30 meters wide, flooded the Zhoukou Fifth People's Hospital and a driving school. The breach was sealed at 8:29 pm on Saturday after round-the-clock efforts by multiple rescue forces.
The region had experienced extreme rainfall in past few days due to the remnants of Typhoon Dolphin and the cold air.

二 | 大多数这些应用级初创公司既没有资源也没有技术能力去编写自己的内核——即驱动芯片运行的低级软件——并将其应用移植到其他 AI 芯片上。所以 Infinity 试图构建一种可替代 CUDA 的内核软件，能够适配任何类型的芯片，比如 SRAM、GPU、手机芯片和 Systolic Array。Infinity 属于新一波初创公司，正通过一个又一个产品，试图削弱 NVIDIA 的市场主导地位。 Infinity 正在尝试构建一个通用的推理库，以在所有芯片上运行，从而使这些芯片能够自动复制最先进的研究成果。 Infinity 由 Jeremy Nixon 于去年创立，他曾是 Google Brain 的研究员，也是黑客网络社区 AGI House 的创建者。Nixon 告诉 TechCrunch，他决定创办这家公司是因为他痴迷于“自动发明”这一想法——即“AI 系统实际上可以成为一种元技术”的信念。他说自己曾发明过一种名为 Omega 的机器学习算法，该算法本质上可以创造新的机器学习算法并在一个反馈回路中自动评估它们。

三 | 那次成功让他开始思考这种方法还能在哪些情形下适用，他转向了硬件领域，相信自动化系统也可以生成运行芯片更高效所需的低级代码，比如内核等。

四 | Infinity 的 AI 研究 Agent Ignition 旨在为可替代 NVIDIA 的芯片编写 AI 推理所需的低级代码。它会测试、调试并衡量硬件在该代码下的运行速度，并在需要时自动重写代码以提升性能。

五 | 该系统具备自我优化能力，意味着它会持续学习并改进自身。Nixon 表示，它还能够适应不同的芯片架构，无论是否为专有设计。最终成果是 Infinity 所称的与 CUDA 水平相当的软件栈。 Nixon 表示，客户包括 AI 芯片制造商（以及意图挑战 NVIDIA 的企业）D-Matrix，Infinity 也在与其他大型芯片和云计算公司洽谈。然而，人类仍然参与其中，提供高层指示，而Agent则承担更多繁琐的体力活。在一项案例研究中，该初创公司发现Agent的工作速度远快于单独的人类，将可能需要数年或数月的过程缩短到数小时或数天。Infinity 不收取预付许可证费；相反，它从性能提升和成本节约中抽取一部分，衡量的是每秒令牌数的变化。目前，Infinity 有 26 名员工，包括设计、运营和工程人员。参考资料： https://techcrunch.com/2026/07/20/inference-startup-infinity-raises-15m-from-touring-capital-openai-and-athropic-researchers/。
