Led by former <a href=\"http:\/\/asml.com\/\">ASML<\/a> scientist Lin Nan, the Chinese Academy of Sciences team created a solid-state laser-based EUV platform that rivals global benchmarks, achieving a 3.42% conversion efficiency\u200a\u2014\u200asurpassing several major Western\u00a0efforts.<\/p>\n<p>This comes amid U.S. restrictions barring ASML from selling EUV machines to China. Meanwhile, Huawei is already supplying AI chips to local firms cut off from Western tech. The move signals accelerating progress in a motivated China that may make the most out of the current tariffs by growing its capabilities to reduce dependency on foreign chipmaking tools.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/yarocelis.substack.com\/p\/who-is-quietly-powering-americas?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share&amp;token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjo4NzI4NzQyLCJwb3N0X2lkIjoxNjE1ODM4MzksImlhdCI6MTc0NTI0NzA4NSwiZXhwIjoxNzQ3ODM5MDg1LCJpc3MiOiJwdWItMjgyMDIyIiwic3ViIjoicG9zdC1yZWFjdGlvbiJ9.tJY4UwJ_b5kEb4SOcCz7zhE4RzzKErpC-LFJZzdwpJc\">Share<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>\ud83e\udde0 Learning\u00a0Corner.<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pll.harvard.edu\/catalog\/free\"><strong>Harvard OpenCourseWare<\/strong>.<\/a> Free online courses in more than 12 subject areas, from AI concepts and Python programming to Leadership and\u00a0Finance.<\/p>\n<h3>Meta unleashes its AI Standalone App.<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/media\/c27724465379ccdc0b911ad6137d9aec\/href\">https:\/\/medium.com\/media\/c27724465379ccdc0b911ad6137d9aec\/href<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Meta debuted <a href=\"https:\/\/ai.meta.com\/meta-ai\/\"><strong>Meta AI<\/strong><\/a>, a standalone app powered by its new <strong>Llama 4<\/strong> model, at the inaugural LlamaCon developer conference on April 29, 2025.
