African developers favor Chinese AI models for lower costs, greater control_我的网站

一 |     (ECNS) -- African developers are increasingly choosing Chinese AI models for their lower costs, relatively modest computing requirements and ability to be deployed and customized independently, The New York Times reported Wednesday.    In Kenya, Uganda and other African countries, developers, policymakers and business executives told the newspaper that cost, computing resources, data control and localization often matter more than where an AI model was developed.    In Uganda’s Mityana District, a coffee farmer uses Sunflower, a language model built on China’s open-source Qwen3, to communicate information about crop conditions and farm management. Some developers compared using Chinese open-source models to owning a house: they can download the models and build their own products on top of them, rather than continually paying for access to closed systems.    The report also said Chinese companies have provided African developers with free computing credits and technical guidance, while broader China-Africa cooperation in telecommunications and infrastructure over the past two decades has helped lay the groundwork for the adoption of Chinese AI technologies.                        。

二 |     Jenny Han has finally delivered the update The Summer I Turned Pretty fans have been waiting for — and it comes with both excitement and a reality check. Speaking at TheWrap’s 2025 Power Women Summit, the author-showrunner confirmed that the script for the upcoming TSITP movie is officially complete. However, despite speculation and fan hopes, the film is far from release.     “I just wrote it,” Han revealed, explaining that the team has not filmed anything yet. She acknowledged the widespread expectation that the movie might premiere during Christmas 2025, but clarified that such a timeline was “not happening, not possible.” The delay stems from the intense production schedule of Season 3, which ran longer than previous seasons with 11 episodes and kept her in filming and post-production through June, just before the show’s July release. “We wouldn’t have had time to film the whole movie,” she said.                                                                 View this post on Instagram          A post shared by Jenny Han (@jennyhan)               The film is expected to adapt the final portion of Han’s trilogy, widely believed to revolve around Belly and Conrad’s wedding and will mark Han’s feature directorial debut. Having directed an episode of Season 3, Han described the transition as “natural and really easy” after years of knowing the cast, the crew, and the world of Cousins Beach inside out.     As she prepares for the movie, Han is drawing inspiration from rom-com legend Nora Ephron, name-checking classics like Sleepless in Seattle and You’ve Got Mail as tonal touchstones. While fans may have to wait longer than planned for Belly’s final chapter on screen, Han reassured them that the film is in thoughtful, deliberate development.                                                                 View this post on Instagram          A post shared by The Summer I Turned Pretty (@thesummeriturnedpretty)               And for readers hoping Han will return to writing books soon, there’s more waiting involved. She admitted that show running has consumed her schedule year-round, leaving little time for the immersive focus that novel-writing demands.          For now, The Summer I Turned Pretty movie is officially moving forward — script complete, cameras yet to roll, and a release date still a ways off.Also Read: Big News : The Summer I Turned Pretty Movie Is in The Works。
