▎Cover Story | SpaceX’s Orbital Computing Revolution: On June 12, before the clock in New York stopped, Texas flames broke through the atmosphere. As SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX) approaches $2 trillion, it is transforming space assets from one-time consumables into operational, scalable, and financializable orbital digital infrastructure. Starlink has proven that low-earth orbit satellite constellations can generate continuous cash flow, and the reduction in cost further opens up large-scale deployment possibilities. On this basis, SpaceX extends AI computing to near-Earth orbit, breaking ground with "satellite computing + laser inter-satellite network" to expand the boundaries of ground-based computing and reshape the future AI infrastructure landscape. The space economy is entering a new phase driven by communication, computing, and orbital resources. In the future, when the Earth becomes a backup node with atmosphere, accounting losses will be merely depreciation, while capital investment represents tickets to the launch of a silicon-based civilization.
▎Key Insights of This Issue (Excerpt)
Technology | Rebuilding AI Infrastructure and New Business Models in the Intelligent Era
1. Structural differentiation in AI commercialization, redefining the certainty of income systems in China and the US: There is no simple comparison between the AI markets in China and the US. The US advantage comes from mature markets and upgrades to digital investments by existing companies; China’s advantage lies in government and enterprise drive, creating new business opportunities in policy direction, industry needs, and industry scenarios.
2. Adjusting metrics for chips, Huawei & tau; scaling and new business rules based on LogicFolding: Huawei & tau; scaling essentially uses a strategic upgrade of "track switching" to break through process barriers, transforming technical breakthroughs into rule rewriting through redefining metrics, value chains, and standard definitions.
3. Inference downgrade reshapes AI infrastructure, edge computing becomes a new front in computing competition: As training demands gradually peak and inference becomes the main battlefield, the next bottleneck in computing competition shifts from GPU output lists to the nearest network node—CDN provider edge data centers, operator base station cabinets, and mobile chip manufacturers.
What determines the ownership of distributed computing is not the chip, but the power meter: As capital frenzies chase thousands of cards clusters, park power distribution rooms quietly become the real bottleneck for AI infrastructure. Energy becomes a scarce resource in the distributed computing era, and EaaS providers specializing in microgrids have already occupied this strategically valuable position that hasn’t been fully priced yet.
Healthcare | Intelligence in Life Sciences and Reconstructing Medical Value
1. Laboratory monkeys have evolved from mere experimental materials into core strategic assets determining the certainty of new drug development: "Who controls the monkey, controls the world," and laboratory monkeys remain a strategic barrier that CRO companies cannot overcome. While AI excels in early target screening and molecular optimization, it still requires live data for systemic validation such as metabolism, toxicology, and immunity. Together, they form a solid pre-clinical loop.
2. From "invaluable treasure" to "priced item," how the fee schedule drives the commercialization of brain-computer interfaces: In March 2025, the National Medical Security Administration established special fees for invasive implantation, removal, and non-invasive adaptation for brain-computer interfaces, indicating that the pricing path for clinical applications after technology maturity is ready. This system-level approach closes the core business loop of "research—clinical application—pricing,” allowing companies like Biorec, Boree, and Qiangnong Technology to benefit from policy benefits.
Consumer Goods | The World Cup has been completely transformed, deeply integrated with American business logic
In 2026, FIFA’s $13 billion “new trajectory” stems from American business logic tearing off the traditional robe of football—decomposing the field into dynamic pricing, tiered hospitality, and trendy collaborations, moving from simply “selling events” to “selling lifestyles.” Chinese companies finally break free from high-cost sponsorships and dance precisely in the most intimate ecological gaps.
