SinoMab BioScience Limited Breakthrough Phase 1b POC Results for SM17 in Atopic Dermatitis

HONG KONG, Apr 9, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - SinoMab BioScience Limited (Stock Code: 3681.HK, “SinoMab” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce our breakthrough topline results from the completed Phase 1b clinical study evaluating SM17, a novel investigational therapy targeting the IL-25 (IL-17E) receptor pathway in moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD). SM17 uniquely binds to the co-receptor for IL-25, a key alarmin, and blocks downstream signaling – disrupting the inflammatory cascade driven by IL-25 engagement.SM17 Competitive Advantages:- First AD biologic with dual efficacy --- first and the only AD biologic that could reach both NRS-41 and EASI-752 responder rate over 60%3 simultaneously at end of treatment (EOT), comparing to marketed product.- Faster and deeper itch relief than anti-IL-4/13 agents4--- onset of anti-pruritus effect as early as Week 2 (SM17) vs Week 4~6 (other agents), over 90% of patients achieved NRS-4 (SM17) vs 30~40% of patients (other agents) at EOT.-  Safer than JAK inhibitors5 --- No serious adverse events (SAEs) nor drug related Grade 3 or above adverse events (AEs) reported, minimum risk of serious infections or major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).1 NRS-4: a peak pruritus numeric rating scale (PP-NRS) weekly mean score with a ≥4-point reduction from baseline2 EASI-75: ≥75% reduction from baseline in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score3 SM17 ph1b NRS-4 responder rate:91.7%, EASI-75 responder rate 75.0%4 Dupixent@ Prescribing information, SOLO-1 & SOLO-2 studies5 RINVOQ@ Prescribing information, Measure Up 1 & Measure Up 2 studiesThis Phase1b study, which evaluated two doses level of SM17 (200mg and 600mg, respectively), met its primary endpoints manifested as the safety profiles in patients with moderate-to-severe AD by demonstrating that SM17 was well-tolerated with no serious adverse event (SAE) or treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) with grade 3 or above. In terms of efficacy, this study met all the secondary endpoints assessing pruritus, skin healing and AD patients’ quality of life by demonstrating remarkable differences between SM17 treatment groups and placebo group.This study was a 16-week, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study to assess the tolerability, safety and efficacy of SM17 monotherapy in 32 adults with moderate-to-severe AD, most of whom were previously inadequate responder to topical corticosteroids (TCS). Patients with a history of biologic (Dupilumab) or systemic Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor medication (Upadacitinib) were also enrolled in the study.At week 12, 75.0% of patients(9 /12) in the higher dose group achieved ≥75% reduction from baseline in EASI-75, vs. 0.0% of patients in the placebo group, with difference of responder rate as 75.0%(95% CI:32.00~91.11). In the lower dose group, 50.0% of patients (6/12) achieved EASI-75, a 50.0% difference vs. placebo (95%CI:9.27~74.62).In the higher dose group, 41.7% of patients (5/12) achieved a validated Investigator's Global Assessment for Atopic Dermatitis (vIGA-AD™) score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear) with a ≥2-point reduction from baseline (vIGA-AD 0/1) at week 12, representing a 41.7% difference vs. placebo (95%CI: 2.28~68.05). In the lower dose group, 25.0% of patients (3/12) achieved this endpoint, a 25.0% difference vs. placebo (95%CI: -11.22~53.23).It is particularly noteworthy that 91.7% of patients (11/12) in the higher dose group achieved a peak pruritus numeric rating scale (PP-NRS) weekly mean score with a ≥4-point reduction from baseline (NRS-4) at week 12, vs. 0.0% of patients in the placebo group. Even in the lower dose group, 66.7% of patients (8/12) achieved this endpoint, remarkably different to that of the placebo group.With regard to the onset of action, SM17 showed obvious anti-pruritus effect as early as week 2 after the initial dose, in either the higher or the lower dose group. The altitude of improvement in pruritus for SM17 treatment groups increased alongside with dosing and reached a mean level of 68% and 57% reduction from baseline in PP-NRS score at week 12, for higher and lower dose groups, respectively, vs. 18% for placebo group. Improvement in pruritus was also maintained for both SM17 treatment groups until week 16, which was 6 weeks away from last dosing (week 10). Improvement in skin healing showed similar trends, with a mean level of 73% and 57% reduction from baseline in EASI score at week 12 for the 2 treatment groups,vs. a mean level of 42% reduction from baseline in placebo group.In addition, this Phase 1b study also met the endpoint of EASI 50 and EASI 90 at week 12, as well as superior improvement comparing to placebo in other skin healing measures as SCORAD and AD body surface area (BSA), or patients’ life quality questionnaire - Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI).Major efficacy endpoints results were summarized in the table below.EndpointsSM17 Higher dose (N=12)SM17 Lower dose (N=12)Placebo (N=12)EASI 50(%)Week1283.366.725.0Week1691.758.325.0EASI 75 (%)Week1275.0500.0Week1641.741.70.0EASI 90 (%)Week1241.716.70.0Week1641.741.70.0IGA 0/1 (%)Week1241.725.00.0Week1633.341.70.0NRS-4 (%)Week1291.766.70.0Week1675.058.325.0Safety findings were generally consistent with the safety profile of SM17 previously observed in US Phase 1 and China Phase 1a bridging study. The most frequent TEAEs (≥10%) in SM17 groups were nasopharyngitis and urinary tract infection,with the overall incidence rate difference between the treatment group and the placebo group being less than 5%.Dr. Shui On LEUNG, Executive Director, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SinoMab, said, "SM17 has the potential to become a first- and best-in-class therapy for atopic dermatitis (AD), a market where a single transformative therapy can achieve multibillion-dollar (US) annual revenue. Pruritus is the primary concern for most of the patients with moderate-to-severe AD,and scratching behavior triggered by itch is likely the key driving factor in recurrent chronic inflammatory cycle in AD. With a favorable safety profile and skin clearance comparable to the most effective existing therapies, SM17 also delivers exceptional efficacy in itch relief – the most critical unmet need for patients.  By addressing these key gaps in current treatment options, SM17 is positioned to redefine the standard of care for this debilitating condition. We are accelerating our clinical programs and actively pursuing partnerships to maximize its global impact. Next, we anticipate initiating Phase 2 trials in adults with moderate-to-severe AD. Notably, preclinical studies have shown promising results for SM17 in treating other Type 2 allergic diseases such as asthma, Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps (CRSwNP) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). These findings suggest that SM17 could become a versatile therapeutic for a range of Th2-driven diseases, extending its potential beyond AD as a first- and best-in-class option."About Atopic Dermatitis MarketAtopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with a complex pathogenesis involving genetic predisposition, skin barrier dysfunction, immune system dysregulation, and environmental factors. The immunological characteristics of AD are dominated by the Th2 axis, involving mediators such as TSLP, IL-4, IL-13, IL-5, IL-33, IL-31, OX40, and the JAK/STAT signaling pathway. AD typically begins in infancy, with about 50% of patients developing symptoms before the age of one. The disease follows a chronic and relapsing course.Epidemiological studies indicate that there are at least 230 million AD patients worldwide, with China having a substantial patient population exceeding 70 million, of which moderate-to-severe cases account for approximately 28%. In comparison, the U.S. has an estimated 16.5 million adult AD patients, with moderate-to-severe cases making up around 40%.According to Precedence Research, the global AD drug market was value at 13.62 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach 13.62 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach 31.44 billion by 2034. Current treatment options vary in efficacy and include topical medications (e.g., corticosteroids [TCS], calcineurin inhibitors [TCI]), oral antihistamines, and biologics, each with its own advantages and limitations.While conventional therapies like TCS, TCI, and oral antihistamines remain standard treatments, biologics such as dupilumab have significantly improved patients' quality of life. However, limitations such as slow onset, insufficient itch relief, and long-term safety concerns leave many patients' needs unmet. Another drug, the JAK inhibitor upadacitinib, faces safety-related challenges. In 2024, dupilumab's global sales surpassed $14 billion, highlighting the immense potential of the AD market and driving pharmaceutical companies to accelerate the development of differentiated therapies. Currently, competition in the AD field is primarily focused on target innovation: Among the top 10 AD clinical targets in China and globally, seven overlap, with IL-4Rα and JAK1 being the top two. In terms of clinical phases, only 14% of China's AD trials are in Phase 3 or later, compared to 23% globally (excluding Phase 2/3 trials), indicating that China's strategy remains largely fast-follow. Moreover, China's target landscape is more concentrated, with the top three targets (IL-4Rα, JAK1, and PDE4) accounting for 46% of clinical trials, whereas global AD clinical targets are more evenly distributed.About SM17SM17 is a novel, First-in-Class (FIC), humanized, IgG4-κ monoclonal antibody, which is a global first in-class monoclonal antibody drug targeting IL-25 receptor with the potential for treating AD, asthma, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and other immunological disorders. SM17 could suppress Type 2 helper T (Th2) immune responses by binding to IL-25 receptor (also known as IL-17RB) on Type 2 Innate Lymphoid cells (ILC2s) and Th2 cells, to block a cascade of responses induced by IL-25 and suppress the release of the downstream Th2 cytokines such as IL-4, IL-9 and IL-13. IL-25 is a critical cytokine classified as ‘‘alarmin’’, which has shown to be implicated in the pathogenesis of autoimmune and inflammatory skin diseases, especially in AD. Current approved therapies for AD, including biologics, can significantly improve eczema area and severity index (EASI) and patient’s quality of life, but they either are slow in response, especially in anti-pruritic effect, or have safety concerns. With the novel mechanism of action, SM17 hopefully will become a new and probably better treatment option for AD, which is fast in anti-pruritic response, effective in skin healing and safe, addressing the unmet medical needs not covered by current treatment modalities.About Differences in Targeting the Receptor (IL-25R) vs the Ligand (IL-25)Using AD as a model, stimulated skin will continuously release IL-25, and neutralizing IL-25 with antibodies does not instantly impart relief. SM17 uniquely blocks one of the IL-25 receptor subunits (IL-17RB) in a non-competitive manner. We have in-house data supporting that SM17 can block receptor signal transduction without affecting IL-25 engagement with the receptor, so SM17 can provide fast anti-pruritic and anti-inflammatory effects arising from IL-25/IL-25 receptor interactions.Additionally, the number of receptors on cell surface is limited, and if sufficient antibodies against the receptor are added and all receptors blocked, therapeutic response will persist regardless of the amount of IL-25 released. This is the case for SM17, which blocks the limited number of receptors on cell surface. Once fully occupied, it stops the signaling regardless of IL-25 levels. This allows a fast, long-lasting inhibition and avoids high-dose requirements.Contrarily, antibodies targeting IL-25 must neutralize the ligand directly, while AD skin continuously releases IL-25 such that anti-IL-25 therapies require high doses to “mop-up” all newly released IL-25. This delays itch and inflammation relief.About SinoMab BioScience LimitedSinoMab BioScience Limited is dedicated to the research, development, manufacturing and commercialization of therapeutics for the treatment of immunological diseases.

MHIEC Completes Refurbishment of Core Facilities of Waste-to-Energy Plant in Miyazaki City

TOKYO, Apr 9, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Environmental & Chemical Engineering Co., Ltd. (MHIEC), a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group, has completed refurbishment of the core facilities of Eco Clean Plaza Miyazaki, a waste-to-energy plant in Miyazaki city in southern part of Kyushu. The refurbishment work, which was ordered in 2021, took place over a four-year span from FY2021 through FY2024. The refurbishment, enabling a waste treatment capacity of 579 tonnes per day (tpd), has extended the plant's service life and achieved reduction in CO2 emissions.Eco Clean Plaza Miyazaki encompasses facilities not only for waste incineration but also recycling and final waste management. It treats waste from Miyazaki city as well as nine nearby localities. The incineration facilities were designed and constructed by MHI and completed in October 2005. They incorporate three stoker type incinerators(Note1) each having a waste treatment capacity of 193 tpd, and related facilities. Power generation capacity using waste heat is 11,200 kW.Under the refurbishment work, upgrades have been made to major equipment superannuated after more than 15 years in operation, to achieve stable combustion and operation over the long term. Replacements include equipment involved in combustion, cooling of combustion gas, waste gas treatment, waste heat utilization, ventilation, and ash removal, as well as electrical instrumentation. Plant service life extension work was carried out adopting MHIEC's proprietary new combustion control system. Stable combustion has been realized with a lower air ratio(Note2) than previously.A CO2 reduction rate of 31.86%(Note3) was attained, significantly higher than the original 17.25% target. Factors contributing to the higher rate include: replacement to a feeder and boiler piping that enable higher durability responding to the low air ratio; increased power generation making efficient use of waste steam, achieved by changing to a low-temperature denitration catalyst; and the compound effects of adopting high-efficiency motors, converting to inverter type equipment, and optimization of plant equipment.The refurbishment work was difficult because it had to be undertaken amid continuing waste treatment, and because it coincided with the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. Nevertheless, work proceeded on schedule thanks to the further strengthening of coordination with all relevant counterparts and meticulous care exercised throughout, enabling the project to be successfully completed on time.MHIEC succeeded MHI's environmental protection business in 2008, taking over its accumulated technological development capabilities in environmental protection systems and abundant expertise in the construction, operation, and maintenance of waste management facilities both in Japan and overseas. Based on this robust track record, the company is well positioned to propose comprehensive solutions encompassing all aspects from plant construction to operation and maintenance. Going forward, the Company will continue proactively proposing solutions for extending the service life of existing waste treatment facilities, coping with global warming, and reducing maintenance, management and other lifecycle costs, to contribute to realization of a carbon neutral society.1A stoker furnace is the main type of waste-to-energy plant. Air is supplied from below a fire grate made of heat-resistant castings to propel the materials to be burned (waste, etc.).2Air ratio is calculated by dividing the real volume of air fed into the incinerator by the theoretical minimal amount of air necessary for waste combustion.3CO2 reduction rate based on the Ministry of the Environment's published material.Overview of Eco Clean Plaza Miyazaki Incineration PlantTreatment capacity579 tonnes per day (193 tpd x 3 units)Treatment methodIncineration (stoker type)Power generation capacity11,200 kWAbout MHI GroupMitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group is one of the world’s leading industrial groups, spanning energy, smart infrastructure, industrial machinery, aerospace and defense.

(SeaPRwire) -   華盛頓 — 隨著總統 Donald Trump 的關稅擾亂全球市場,一些支持這位共和黨候選人的思想領袖和有影響力的播客主正在表達疑慮。 Barstool Sports 老闆 Dave Portnoy、對沖基金經理 Bill Ackman 甚至 Elon Musk 都加入了眾多反對將於週三生效的關稅的國會共和黨人的行列。 以下是一些他們的觀點: Ben Shapiro 這位保守派評論員——最初在去年的共和黨總統初選中支持佛羅里達州州長 Ron DeSantis,之後才轉而支持 Trump——週六在“All-In”播客節目中表示,他看到關於 Trump 的關稅提案旨在做什麼的說法“自相矛盾”。 Shapiro 說:“我認為關稅計畫的推出方式是你能做到的最糟糕的推出方式。” 在週一發佈到他在 YouTube 上超過 700 萬訂閱者的影片中,Shapiro 重申了這一論點,並表示關稅是好的並且讓我們致富的想法“確實存在問題”。 “認為這本質上是好的,並使美國經濟強大是錯誤的,”Shapiro 說。“這是不真實的。認為它將導致大規模的製造業回流也是不真實的。” Dave Portnoy “歡迎來到 Orange Monday,”Portnoy 在他的“Davey Day Trader”金融直播中說道,就在市場本週開盤前,並表示他的評論“沒有政治議程”,除了賺錢之外。 在上週的市場暴跌之後,Portnoy 說他損失了 700 萬美元“在股票和加密貨幣中”,他週一估計這個數字可能接近 2000 萬美元,或高達他淨資產的 15%。 但是,Portnoy 說,他計劃堅持支持 Trump,他稱 Trump 為“聰明人”。 “我認為他們在這些關稅問題上比我聰明。我也認為他正在玩一場高風險的遊戲,”Portnoy 上週在他的直播中說。“我將與他一起度過幾天、幾個星期,看看事情如何發展。” Barstool 由 Portnoy 於 2003 年創立,最初是一份免費的體育和賭博報紙,現已發展成為一個涵蓋體育、生活方式和娛樂的數位平台,擁有數億粉絲。Portnoy 自 2016 年首次支持 Trump 以來一直是 Trump 的忠實支持者,並在 2020 年在白宮採訪了總統。 Joe Rogan Rogan 是美國最有影響力的播客主之一,他在去年大選前夕支持 Trump,他在三月份表示,Trump 與加拿大的不和是“愚蠢的”,並哀嘆加拿大人在有兩國球隊參加的職業體育賽事中“因為關稅而噓我們”的事實。 Rogan 最近在其他領域與 Trump 決裂,包括大規模驅逐出境,他將最近一次拘留移民的行動稱為“可怕的”。 就在選舉日幾週前,Rogan 錄製了一段近三個小時的與 Trump 的播客採訪,這為這位共和黨候選人提供了一個機會來強調他的 2024 年白宮競選活動中定義的超級男性氣概。 Bill Ackman 這位支持 Trump 的對沖基金經理週日在 X 上警告說,“我們正在走向自我引發的經濟核冬天”,除非 Trump 採取更慎重的做法,他將全面啟動關稅比作“經濟核戰爭”。 在週日晚些時候的另一篇文章中,Ackman 抨擊商務部長 Howard Lutnick “對股市和經濟崩盤漠不關心”。第二天,Ackman 為他的批評道歉,聲稱 Lutnick(之前是金融公司 Cantor Fitzgerald 的負責人)可以從關稅中受益,因為該公司有債券投資。 但這位對沖基金經理也重申了他對 Trump 關稅的擔憂。 “我只是感到沮喪,因為我認為在我們的國家和總統在經濟上取得了巨大的進展之後,現在由於關稅而面臨風險,這是一個重大的政策錯誤,”他在 X 上寫道。 Elon Musk 甚至連億萬富翁,Trump 在改革聯邦政府問題上的高級顧問,也對關稅表示懷疑,他表示關稅會增加他的電動汽車製造商 Tesla 的成本。 “我希望達成共識,歐洲和美國都應該理想地轉向零關稅,從而有效地在歐洲和北美之間建立一個自由貿易區,”Musk 在與義大利政客的視訊會議上說。 在 Fox News 的“Sunday Morning Futures”節目中,白宮貿易顧問 Peter Navarro 說,Musk “不理解”這種情況。 Musk 在週二反擊,稱 Navarro“真是個白癡”和“比一袋磚頭還笨”。 —美聯社記者 Ali Swenson 在紐約對本報導做出了貢獻。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

川普新一輪關稅午夜生效,各國領袖緊急應對

(SeaPRwire) -   距離美國提高對數十個國家進口商品的關稅(包括對中國進口商品徵收 104% 的稅)僅剩幾個小時,世界各國領導人週二仍在努力了解 Donald Trump 總統的關稅策略,並聯繫政府中正確的人員以獲得豁免。 美國貿易代表 Jamieson Greer 週二告訴國會,"近 50 個"國家已與他聯繫,以解決 Trump 全面徵收新關稅的問題。Greer 在參議院財政委員會的證詞中表示,阿根廷、越南和以色列"表示他們將降低關稅和非關稅壁壘"。 但白宮新聞秘書 Karoline Leavitt 週二表示,Trump 不會很快讓步。她告訴記者,Trump 願意在個案的基礎上與各國進行談判,但這些談判不會阻止週末生效的對所有進口商品全面徵收 10% 關稅的政策。針對數十個國家的較高關稅率定於週三凌晨 12 點 01 分生效。這包括對美國最大供應國中國徵收 104% 的關稅。 “Trump 擁有鋼鐵般的意志。他不會退縮。在他的領導下,美國也不會崩潰,” Leavitt 說。 政府官員繼續強調美國與其他國家達成新“協議”的可能性,但此類談判的時間表尚不明確。Leavitt 證實,Trump 堅持將自己置於談判的中心,並且願意考慮與貿易無關的提議,以換取美國降低關稅,包括讓各國承擔駐紮美國軍隊和其他外交政策目標的費用。“所有選擇都適用於每個國家,但同樣,這些都將是量身定制的協議,” Leavitt 說。 以色列總理 Benjamin Netanyahu 在週一訪問橢圓形辦公室期間,主動提出取消以色列的貿易壁壘。"以色列的主動姿態應成為世界其他國家的榜樣," Leavitt 說。美國對以色列的關稅仍將提高到 17%。 近幾週,Trump 的支持率有所下降,因為人們對他處理經濟的方式越來越不滿。 Trump 的首席貿易談判代表 Greer 在週二向國會作證時表示,新關稅旨在推動美國經濟轉向生產“真正的商品和服務”,並減少對金融部門和政府支出的依賴。Greer 承認該國正處於劇烈的轉變之中。 “這是一個劇烈且遲來的變革時刻,但我相信美國人民會像以前一樣迎接這一時刻,”Greer 說。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

川普關稅恐使AI開發成本更高

(SeaPRwire) -   在川普總統上週宣布對外國貿易夥伴徵收全面關稅後,人工智慧公司的股票是跌幅最大的股票之一,這表明這些關稅對該行業來說可能是個壞消息。 分析師表示,目前處於人工智慧產業最前沿的公司,正在花費數千億美元建設新的數據中心來訓練人工智慧模型。關稅將增加這些工作已經非常龐大的成本。 《晶片戰爭》(Chip War)一書的作者克里斯·米勒(Chris Miller)表示:「關稅將使人工智慧數據中心的建設成本大幅增加,因為人工智慧伺服器主要仰賴進口,至少在供應鏈重組之前將面臨關稅,而且數據中心中的許多其他設備,如冷卻和電力基礎設施,也都是進口的。」 晶片本身是人工智慧數據中心內部的關鍵運算硬體,不受川普關稅的影響,但前提是它們作為獨立產品進口到美國。然而,大多數晶片並非以原材料的形式進口到美國;相反,它們已經封裝在伺服器等產品中抵達,這些產品需要繳納關稅。 憂心忡忡的人工智慧投資者週一收到分析師Stacy Rasgon發布的報告,報告指出,大多數Nvidia伺服器可能不會受到川普關稅的影響,這是一個好消息。 這是因為大多數伺服器似乎是在墨西哥組裝的,因此可以根據自由貿易協定享受關稅豁免。Bernstein Research的半導體產業分析師Rasgon表示,這是該消息的「一線希望」。 (Nvidia拒絕置評。) Rasgon表示:「我認為有一些方法可以避免美國人工智慧基礎設施面臨巨額關稅,這很好,因為否則這一切的意義何在?」「我們會讓美國成為世界上建設人工智慧基礎設施最昂貴的地方,這聽起來不是一件好事。」 但建築材料、電腦零件、冷卻基礎設施和電源供應只是關稅可能導致成本增加的部分項目。非營利組織Civic AI Security Program的Lucas Hansen表示,成本可能會非常高,以至於公司可能會考慮在國外而不是在美國建設數據中心。 他說,數據中心往往聚集在電力便宜的地方。 「關稅有可能成為在國外建設這些數據中心的另一個額外誘因。」 米勒表示,數據中心建設成本的增加造成了「真正的風險」,即美國可能開始在人工智慧競賽中輸給中國,而在這場競賽中獲勝是川普政府的主要外交政策目標。 米勒說:「在美國建立我們所需的所有數據中心容量以保持領先中國的地位,已經是一項重大挑戰。」 「現在,數據中心的建設成本將變得更加昂貴。」 米勒補充說:「短期影響將是重大的,長期影響尚不明朗,而且公司無法為長期做計畫,因為關稅稅率可能會不斷變化。」 即使川普創建更多的豁免條款來減輕數據中心產業的痛苦,川普貿易戰對總體經濟環境的改變,也可能為人工智慧公司帶來新的阻力。 Rasgon提到在人工智慧上投入巨資的科技公司,他表示:「我現在更大的擔憂是總體經濟:我們陷入衰退,廣告支出下降,超大規模企業普遍資金減少。」 他補充說,對人工智慧和數據中心的需求崩潰,加上供應鏈混亂,可能會隨之而來。 Rasgon在談到關稅時表示:「這感覺不像是一種策略。」 「這只是一顆手榴彈。」 數據中心成本的增加可能會使公司未來訓練人工智慧系統的成本更高。 但這不太可能意味著使用人工智慧對於消費者來說會更昂貴。 根據Epoch AI最近的研究,由於演算法效率、硬體改進和價格競爭,使用特定智慧等級的人工智慧的成本正以每年約 40 倍的速度下降。 換句話說,從現在起一年後,使用給定的模型可能需要比今天少得多的運算能力(以及金錢)。 因此,即使川普的關稅確實增加了數據中心組件的成本,研究人員表示,隨著時間的推移,人工智慧的使用成本可能會繼續下降。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。 ```

在特朗普關稅引發歷史性損失後,市場出現小幅反彈

` tags. Here's the translation: (SeaPRwire) -   紐約 — 週二,全球金融市場出現了一些緩解,因為在唐納德·特朗普總統上週大幅提高關稅賭注後,股市反彈以彌補部分歷史性損失。 S&P 500 在早盤交易中上漲 3.7%,但仍比 2 月份創下的紀錄低 14% 以上。截至東部時間上午 10:12,道瓊斯工業平均指數上漲 1,363 點,漲幅 3.6%,那斯達克綜合指數上漲 4.2%。 這次反彈是全球性的。東京股市上漲 6%,巴黎股市上漲 3.4%,上海股市上漲 1.6%。原油價格在週一觸及 2021 年以來的最低水平後也略有回升。 比特幣企穩,在前一天跌向 76,000 美元後,回升至 79,000 美元以上。這次回升背後沒有重大變化,分析師表示,不僅在未來幾天,甚至在未來幾小時內,市場都可能出現更大的上下波動。 最大的問題仍然集中在特朗普將對其他國家實施嚴厲關稅多久,這將提高美國消費者的價格並減緩經濟發展。如果關稅持續很長時間,經濟學家和投資者預計會導致經濟衰退。但如果特朗普通過談判相對較快地降低關稅,則可以避免最壞的情況。 華爾街仍然希望有可能進行談判,特朗普週一表示,在與韓國代理總統交談後,他已達成“兩國達成一項偉大協議的範圍和可能性”。 特朗普在社交媒體上表示:“他們的頂級團隊正在飛往美國的飛機上,情況看起來不錯。我們也正在與許多其他國家打交道,所有這些國家都希望與美國達成協議。” 在日本首相石破茂任命其與美國進行談判的貿易談判代表後,日本股市領漲全球市場。日本官員表示,這是基於石破茂和特朗普之間的協議。 當然,其他國家正在採取更積極的態度。中國表示將“戰鬥到底”,並在特朗普週一威脅要進一步提高對世界第二大經濟體的關稅後,警告將採取反制措施。 但全球股市週二的反彈或許不應令人意外。股市不會永遠朝一個方向發展,市場歷史上一些最好的日子都集中在一些最糟糕的日子前後。 例如,自第二次世界大戰以來,S&P 500 的最大單日漲幅是 2008 年 10 月 13 日的 11.6%。那是在大衰退的深淵時期,當時人們非常擔心金融系統正在崩潰,而 S&P 500 正處於從 2007 年末的峰值到 2009 年 3 月的谷底之間近 57% 的暴跌之中。幾週後,該指數迎來了另一個歷史上最好的日子之一,飆升 10.8%。 這就是為什麼許多財務顧問建議不要試圖擇時入場,而是在緊張時拋售股票和其他用於長期投資的產品,因為存在錯過這些巨大上漲日的風險。 一些共和黨人士越來越多地批評白宮推出關稅的舉措,這可能會影響特朗普的想法。例如,路易斯安那州共和黨參議員 John Kennedy 表示,他支持總統達成更好貿易協議的目標,但擔心經濟的不確定性。 Kennedy 補充說:“我們不知道這種藥是否比疾病更糟糕”,“現在這是特朗普總統的經濟。” 在此之前,特朗普週一發出了混亂的信息。他說,如果“我們可以達成一項真正公平的協議和一項對美國有利的協議”,他願意進行談判。特朗普還補充說,有可能與其他國家達成談判解決方案和永久性關稅。 特朗普的貿易戰是對全球化的攻擊,全球化塑造了全球經濟,幫助降低了價格,但也導致製造業工作崗位流向其他國家。他說他希望將工廠工作崗位帶回美國,這個過程可能需要數年時間。特朗普還表示,他希望縮小與其他國家的貿易逆差。 在華爾街,在醫療保險和醫療補助服務中心宣布明年 Medicare Advantage 付款的增幅高於預期後,健康保險公司帶領市場上漲。 Humana 上漲 12.5%,United Health 上漲 7.8%,Elevance 上漲 5.2%。 Levi Strauss 在公佈最新一季的利潤超出分析師預期後上漲 2.8%。儘管貿易戰和關稅威脅持續存在,但該公司也對 2025 年給出了強勁的預測。 在債券市場,美國國債收益率連續第二天反彈,以彌補之前幾個月的部分巨大損失。10 年期美國國債收益率從週一晚些時候的 4.15% 升至 4.24%,而上週五晚些時候僅為 4.01%。 收益率往往會隨著對美國經濟實力和通貨膨脹的預期而上升。 ___ AP Business Writers Matt Ott and Elaine Kurtenbach contributed.本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

NEC Face Recognition Ranks First in NIST Accuracy Testing

TOKYO, Apr 9, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) today announced that its face recognition technology was ranked the world’s most accurate in the most recent benchmark test (1) conducted by the globally recognized U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) (2).The latest Face Recognition Technology Evaluation (FRTE) 1:N Identification report indicates that NEC’s system received the highest performance rating, with an authentication error rate of 0.07%, in the "1:N Identification" test (3) using still images of 12 million people. In addition, it also ranked first in two aging tests using images taken more than 10 and 12 years ago (4), and was ranked in the top two in all eight major FRTE 1:N Identification categories listed on the NIST website.The NIST-sponsored benchmark test for face recognition technology is a thorough and fair process in which the NIST impartially evaluates programs developed and submitted by each organization under identical conditions. It is widely considered to be one of the few tests that allow users who are considering the introduction of face recognition technology to centrally compare the performance of algorithms from various organizations around the world.Since its first participation in 2009, NEC has repeatedly been ranked first in the world in the 1:N authentication test, which requires higher accuracy than any other face recognition technology benchmark test sponsored by the NIST. Particularly, in the aging test, which uses images that are more than 10 years old, equivalent to the expiration date of a passport, NEC has won first place with overwhelming accuracy that is unrivaled by any other organization.Through continuous improvements to its core algorithms, NEC has expanded the scope of application of its face recognition technology to approximately 80 airports around the world, as well as transportation facilities, office buildings, factories, hotels, theme parks, hospitals, apartment buildings, stores, financial institutions, and local governments, and has developed face recognition business in more than 50 countries and regions worldwide. The use of this technology is not limited to access control, but includes a wide range of applications to improve customer experience and security, such as hospitality, monitoring, in-store payments, and procedures at ATMs.In the future, NEC will not only continue to focus on replacing physical identity verification methods and physical security, but will also accelerate the development and provision of solutions that can be adapted to new use cases in an ever-growing digital society.At the Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan, which opens on April 13, 2025, NEC will provide a face recognition system for admission control for visitors who have purchased a full-year pass or summer pass, in addition to payments at stores in the venue (5), and will also provide a decentralized identity (DID)/verifiable credentials (VC) face recognition solution "NEC Digital Identity VCs Connect" for "null2," the signature pavilion produced by media artist Yoichi Ochiai (6).The DID/VC solution enables the creation of a "self-sovereign identity," where individuals manage their own information independently, reducing reliance on service providers and cloud vendors for digital data management.

Sonofai revolutionizes frozen tuna inspection with new device incorporating Fujitsu AI tech

Kawasaki and Shizuoka, Japan, Apr 9, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu Limited and Sonofai Inc., Ishida Tec Co., Ltd., and Tokai University today announced the launch of an automated inspection device that determines the fat content of frozen albacore tuna in a non-destructive manner. The device, which deploys Fujitsu’s AI technology, is being launched by Sonofai Inc., a Japanese startup dedicated to preserving artisanal techniques through digital innovation. Ishida Tec Co., Ltd., a manufacturer of food processing equipment, and Tokai University, which is driving innovation in the food processing industry also contributed to the collaboration. Sonofai will launch the newly developed inspection device SONOFAI T-01 in June 2025, initially targeting the seafood processing industry and fisheries cooperatives in Japan, before expanding globally. This effort comes against the backdrop of a sustained increase in demand for high-quality tuna around the world, with the Japan Fisheries Research and Education Agency noting a 25% rise in the last 20 years (1).The SONOFAI T-01 leverages Fujitsu's ultrasound analysis AI technology, a core engine of the Fujitsu Kozuchi AI service, and is the first device of its kind that can determine the fat content of frozen tuna in a non-destructive manner. This enables automated, highly accurate fat content assessment without the need for human visual inspection. Conventional methods of assessment rely on skilled workers visually inspecting thawed cross-sections of the tail, which is a labor-intensive, time-consuming process, and prone to inconsistencies due to variations in individual judgment and a shortage of skilled personnel.The device allows for a complete inspection of the tuna in 12 seconds and can be operated by one person, offering potential labor and operational efficiency savings of up to 80%. By enabling rapid screening of large quantities of frozen tuna, the device reduces the burden on skilled workers, significantly improves the efficiency of the selection process, and contributes to reducing costs and addressing labor shortages. It also allows for greater accuracy and reduces the opportunity cost of mislabeling the high-value, fatty "bintoro" portions of the fish.The device was trialed at Toyo Reizo Co., Ltd. in 2024, Kato Tokuhiro, Executive Officer comments:“Tuna, gathered from fishing grounds around the world over approximately a year by deep-sea longline fishing vessels, is landed, sorted, and distributed nationwide at Shimizu Port in Shizuoka Prefecture. Each day, skilled professionals assess the quality of over 1,000 tuna, sorting them within seconds while maintaining their frozen state, before transporting them to ultra-low-temperature storage facilities (below -50°C). Before shipment, the tail-cut grading process is conducted by expert assessors, who examine the cross-section of the tuna’s tail to determine its quality. Based on this assessment, the tuna is shipped to respective customers. The newly developed technology is a groundbreaking innovation that enables precise assessment of internal fat content during the tail-cut grading process, addressing existing challenges in the industry. Looking ahead, we will continue to engage in initiatives that involve regional collaboration, industry-academia partnerships, and startups, striving to solve challenges in the fisheries industry through innovation.”Fujitsu and Tokai University, which is known for its research into tuna flavor, began the joint research project in April 2022 to develop ultrasound analysis AI technology. In December 2023, validation tests on albacore tuna demonstrated that the AI technology could determine fat content with a higher accuracy rate than tail-cut selection. To commercialize this research, Ishida Tec developed automated inspection equipment optimized for ultrasound analysis AI, and Sonofai incorporated the ultrasound analysis AI technology licensed and technically supported by Fujitsu into the SONOFAI T-01 device.Sonofai plans to add a range of functions, including the ability to determine freshness, firmness, etc., and expand the range of compatible fish species. In the future, the company aims to contribute to the management of aquatic resources by enabling the device to measure body length and weight for all inspected fish. Furthermore, by utilizing the device within Ishida Tec's planned system for sorting and evaluating the quality of frozen skipjack tuna immediately after landing, it will be possible to perform instantaneous quality-based sorting at large fishing ports, contributing to significant labor savings and increased added value.The device was developed with a subsidy from the Marine Open Innovation Project (MaOI Project) which is being promoted by Shizuoka Prefecture.Yasutomo Suzuki, Governor of Shizuoka comments:"The fishing industry is a cornerstone of Shizuoka Prefecture’s economy, and its enduring health is paramount. This device offers the potential to revitalize the industry by supporting the discovery of previously overlooked high-quality tuna and enabling the development of valuable marine products. In addition, automating the selection process will reduce the burden of securing personnel and contribute to the sustainability fisheries. Shizuoka Prefecture will continue to work with businesses to create and share new value on a global scale."(1) Source: Japan Fisheries Research and Education Agency report (Japanese Only)About FujitsuFujitsu’s purpose is to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation.

ZENMEV Launches New MEV-Based Staking Model amid Global Market Shakeup

New York, NY – April 09, 2025 – (SeaPRwire) – In response to heightened market volatility and investor uncertainty, ZENMEV has introduced a new staking model leveraging Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) to offer structurally resilient returns. A New Frontier in Long-Term Investment Strategies Based on MEV Global stock markets have recently experienced significant downturns due to tariff issues and fluctuating interest rates, causing widespread investor anxiety over plummeting asset values. Financial experts suggest avoiding panic-driven, short-term selling and instead recommend stable long-term investment strategies resilient to market volatility. One alternative gaining institutional attention is staking based on Maximal Extractable Value (MEV), with the ZENMEV platform emerging as a leading player. Unlike traditional major exchanges or regular staking services, ZENMEV returns the structural profits generated from blockchain mechanisms directly to ordinary users, quickly becoming a prominent choice. Market Volatility and Emergence of Staking Alternatives According to recent economic reports, growing recession fears and geopolitical risks have weakened trust in traditional stock markets. Historically, investors have gravitated toward safer assets like gold or bonds in such environments, but cryptocurrencies have recently emerged as alternative investments. However, their significant volatility remains a psychological hurdle during bear markets. In these circumstances, staking has been increasingly popular as a more stable income strategy. Users lock assets for a certain period to help validate network transactions and earn rewards in the form of block rewards or transaction fees. Notable examples include Ethereum (since transitioning to Proof of Stake), Cosmos (ATOM), and Tezos (XTZ), all providing annual fixed interest rates. Staking helps minimize impulsive short-term trading decisions, allowing investors to accumulate assets steadily. However, typical staking models rely solely on block rewards, limiting their profitability. Achieving satisfying returns can be challenging without significant market growth. To address this limitation, staking strategies utilizing MEV have emerged prominently, with ZENMEV leading the way. Understanding ZENMEV Redefining the MEV EcosystemMEV refers to profits generated by blockchain validators who rearrange or insert transactions within a block to extract additional value. Decentralized Finance (DeFi) activities such as large swaps, arbitrage, or collateral liquidations create MEV opportunities. Historically, these opportunities were accessible only to specialized bots, large validators, or miners, attracting criticism as an exclusive insider game. ZENMEV disrupts this exclusivity by transparently distributing MEV gains to everyday users. Users deposit assets like Ethereum (ETH) or Solana (SOL), and ZENMEV’s MEV trading bots, known as Zenbots, analyze on-chain data in real time to identify and execute MEV opportunities within milliseconds. For example, if a large buy order appears on a decentralized exchange, ZENMEV strategically purchases the asset at a lower price immediately before executing the large order, realizing risk-free profits from the subsequent price increase. These profits are instantly and transparently distributed to stakeholders through ZENMEV’s smart contracts. Users simply deposit assets and automatically share in the structural profits derived from blockchain mechanisms. This added value distinguishes ZENMEV from conventional staking, which relies only on block rewards. Stable Returns in Bear Markets through Market-Neutral Strategies Bear markets usually lead to reduced asset prices and declining trading volumes in cryptocurrency markets. However, ZENMEV remains attractive as MEV profits derive from volatility and trading activities rather than asset price direction. For instance, front-running strategies capture profits by quickly executing transactions before large orders that push prices upward, independent of overall market trends. Provided meaningful trading volumes or volatility persist, MEV opportunities remain present even during downturns. Research suggests MEV opportunities continue to emerge unless markets become completely stagnant. Thus, MEV’s market-neutral strategy offers relative stability during bear markets, occasionally surpassing typical validator rewards. This structural advantage underscores ZENMEV’s growing appeal in challenging market conditions. Core Strength: Advanced Zenbot Algorithms and Mempool Scanning ZENMEV’s robust performance relies heavily on sophisticated algorithms and mempool scanning technologies. The platform efficiently processes thousands of transactions per second using deep learning models, enabling Zenbots to accurately identify and swiftly execute profitable opportunities such as liquidity pools, significant swaps, and rapid token price fluctuations. These AI-driven bots prioritize transactions strategically to maximize profit, ensuring competitive execution within blockchain networks. Rapid Multichain Expansion and Strategic Global VC Investment Though MEV discussions commonly focus on Ethereum and BNB chains, ZENMEV also seeks opportunities across networks like Solana and Cosmos. By customizing strategies to each blockchain’s unique characteristics, ZENMEV allows users seamless access to diversified MEV opportunities from multiple chains through a single platform. ZENMEV recently attracted strategic investments totaling approximately $140 million from prominent Web3 venture capitalists. These funds will accelerate global market expansion, enhance AI-driven MEV detection models, and further strengthen ZENMEV’s competitive position. The company is actively expanding into North America, Europe, and Asia, solidifying its global footprint. Combining Node Rewards with MEV Profits ZENMEV’s staking model uniquely combines basic validator rewards with additional MEV-generated income. Users who participate as validators typically receive standard block rewards but also benefit from additional profits derived from MEV strategies, significantly enhancing overall annual returns. The platform simplifies this process by automatically identifying and capitalizing on MEV opportunities, requiring no specialized technical knowledge from users. Participants simply stake assets as usual and benefit from structurally enhanced returns, making sophisticated MEV strategies broadly accessible. Mental Stability and Long-term Investment Approach in Bear Markets During bear markets, investor psychology often drives premature selling due to fear of further losses. ZENMEV’s staking model mitigates these emotional decisions by offering consistent returns from MEV strategies, encouraging investors to maintain a long-term perspective despite short-term volatility. ZENMEV’s continuous, AI-driven monitoring of blockchain activities eliminates the need for users to track news and market movements manually. By capturing fleeting profitable transactions automatically, ZENMEV safeguards asset values and bolsters investor confidence even during downturns. Conclusion and Outlook ZENMEV staking emerges as a uniquely robust investment alternative amid current market uncertainties, effectively harnessing blockchain inefficiencies to generate consistent returns. By democratizing previously inaccessible MEV strategies and automating the process with advanced AI technology, ZENMEV significantly enhances traditional staking models. With multi-chain capabilities, cutting-edge AI integration, and recent strategic funding, ZENMEV’s growth potential appears substantial. As market-neutral and volatility-responsive strategies gain prominence, platforms like ZENMEV could significantly shape the future landscape of decentralized finance.
