                            The net value of new products changes frequently. Fund managers firmly believe that the "entry time" has come.
                        
                            The net value of several active equity funds that have been established for less than half a month has changed frequently in recent days, which means that fund managers have started to build positions. In addition, several active equity funds have ended their issuance ahead of schedule. According to interviews with China Securities Journal reporters, some funds may have closed their fundraising ahead of schedule because the current entry price-performance ratio is high, and fund managers hope to seize the high-quality time window for building positions and start investment operations as soon as possible. Some industry insiders said that policy protection and the stabilization of listed companies' performance are the basis for the future improvement of the A-share market. Artificial intelligence (AI) leads a new innovation cycle, "new consumption" becomes a new carrier of the internal circulation, and the new energy sector enters a new stage of development. These have become factors that the market needs to pay attention to in 2025.

                            Doubao PC version launches AI podcast function, supports one-click podcast generation
                        
                            On the 17th, it was learned that the AI podcast function was fully launched on the computer version of Doubao on the same day. After users upload a PDF or web link, they can generate a two-person dialogue podcast program with one click. The voice effect is highly anthropomorphic, and the dialogue is smooth and natural. It is reported that this capability is based on the voice podcast model launched by the Doubao large model team. Traditional AI podcasts are usually not colloquial enough, sound mechanical, and lack interaction. The Doubao voice podcast model relies on highly anthropomorphic voice effects, combined with spoken habits such as natural echoing in real professional podcasts, to make the dialogue effect reach the level of professional podcasts. At the same time, the model is built on a streaming model. Through an end-to-end convenient link, it only takes seconds to convert text creation to a two-person dialogue podcast, realizing a "low-cost, high-timeliness, and strong interaction" creation experience. This function has been launched on the button space and Doubao computer version. At present, the Doubao App has also started a small traffic test and will be fully launched in the near future, so that users can "listen to long texts" at any time.
