TCDD E1000. The TCDD E1000 is an electric locomotive in use with Тurkish State Railways. A single prototype was built in 2015 by TÜLOMSAŞ and TÜBİTAK MAM. The main feature of the locomotive is its regenerative braking system, allowing it to make a halt in the shortest possible time without . It also uses induction motors for its traction system.

The locomotive have a power rating of 1000 kW, and can reach speeds up to 80 km/h. The locomotive weighed 72 tons, and measured at 13,250 mm in length.

Background 

The DE11000 diesel shunters, which were in need of modernisation since the mid-1990s, were plagued by the increasing difficulty of supplying spare parts abroad. For this reason, in 2008, TULOMSAS began development of an electric shunting locomotive that could replace the DE110000. The Ministry of Transportation, Maritime and Communication projected that Turkey would be manufacturing fully indigenously-made locomotives by 2023.

Trials 

During testing, the E1000 prototype conducted a series of successful deceleration and slip prevention system tests in , and managed to reach 65 km/h while hauling a 1,000 ton train on a level piece of track. In November 2015, the locomotive passed tests in regenerative braking on a 2.8% grade in Bilecik with a 520 ton train.

01.AI. 01.AI () is an artificial intelligence (AI) company based in Beijing, China. It focuses on developing open source products.

Background 

01.AI was founded in March 2023 by former Microsoft and Google executive and Sinovation Ventures co-founder Kai-Fu Lee. In Chinese 01.AI is known as 零一万物 in Chinese, which means "zero-one, everything" and alludes to a passage from the Taoist text Tao Te Ching. External backers of 01.AI include Alibaba Group and Xiaomi. 

Due to US export controls on semiconductors, 01.AI began amassing the semiconductors earlier in the year and even borrowed money from Sinovation Ventures to fund the purchases. Due to its low supply of chips, 01.AI developed more efficient AI infrastructure and inference engines to train its AI. Its chip-cluster failure rate was lower than industry average.

In June 2023, 01.AI commenced operations. 01.AI opted to build an open source model because the vast majority of AI developers cannot afford or do not require the largest and most expensive models. However it planned to develop proprietary models for customers in the future.

In November 2023, within eight months of launching 01.AI obtained a valuation over $1 billion giving it unicorn status. The company had a team over 100 employees.

In October 2024, it was reported than 01.AI was reducing costs by using strategies such as focusing on smaller data sets to train AI models and hiring cheaper engineers. In November 2024, it was reported that 01.AI trained its AI models with just 2,000 GPUs. The cost was $3 million compared to OpenAI's $80-100 million.

In January 2025, Lee denied rumours that 01.AI was negotiating to sell its pre-training team to Alibaba Cloud.

KINGSEMI. KINGSEMI (Kingsemi; ) is a partially state-owned publicly listed Chinese company that manufactures semiconductor device fabrication equipment. They include photolithography process coating equipment and wafer cleaning tools.

Background 

Harbin Institute of Technology graduate, Zong Runfu worked at the Shenyang Institute of Automation where he eventually became director of the Science and Technology Department. During his time there he noticed the project cycle was long and the efficiency was low. Zong suggested to the institute that researchers should go to enterprises and turn the results from academia into standardized products.

In 2002, Shenyang Xinyuan Advanced Semiconductor Technology (later rebranded to Kingsemi) was established which was led by Zong. Initially the company experienced difficulty as they had to develop everything from scratch and there was pressure from both the institute and external stakeholders.

On 16 December 2019, Kingsemi held its initial public offering becoming a listed company on the Shanghai Stock Exchange STAR Market. The reason for listing was to obtain capital to fund R&D investments.

In 2024 at a product presentation event, Kingsemi stated it was only domestic company that could produce spin-coater developing equipment. It received CNY2.2 billion worth of orders in 2023 due to demand for advanced packaging and foundry process equipment. Kingsemi demonstrated its equipment which included a prototype chemical cleansing machine that covers the process requirements at 28nm and above as well as a wafer bonding machine.

In December 2024, Kingsemi was targeted in a new round of US export controls and added to the United States Department of Commerce's Entity List.
