<div class="InlineImage-imageEmbedCaption">National Students Union of India (NSUI) workers hold placards featuring India&#8217;s Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan during a protest against the National Testing Agency (NTA) over alleged exam paper leaks and the subsequent rescheduling of the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) in Hyderabad, Telangana, on June 13, 2026. </div>

<div class="group">
<p>Indian authorities <a href="https://x.com/NTA_Exams/status/2066753327841649121?s=20" target="_blank">have restricted access</a> to the messaging app Telegram in an effort to prevent exam fraud, after the cancellation of a crucial test last month <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/04/indias-cockroach-cjp-party-what-investors-need-to-know.html">sparked protests</a> across the country.</p>
<p>Telegram will be unavailable until June 22, while its message editing feature will also be disabled until June 30, India&#8217;s National Testing Agency said in a statement shared on X on Tuesday. </p>
<div style="height:100%" class="lazyload-placeholder"></div>
<p>The move is in response to the &#8220;organized use of the [Telegram] platform by cheating rackets to defraud candidates,&#8221; who will be taking a national entrance test on June 21, the NTA said.</p>
<p>The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (undergraduate) or NEET-UG is a crucial exam for admission to medical colleges and was cancelled in May due to allegations of a paper leak, affecting millions of students.</p>
<p>Telegram is owned by Russian-born tech billionaire Pavel Durov, and it claims to have <a href="https://telegram.org/faq" target="_blank">more than 1 billion</a> monthly active users globally. CNBC has reached out to Telegram for comment.</p>
<p>Over the past few weeks, government investigations found multiple channels on Telegram claiming to have access to leaked exam papers and soliciting payments &#8220;ranging from a few thousand to several lakhs of rupees from candidates and their families.&#8221;</p>
<p>The NTA has said that no such exam paper is &#8220;available outside the secured examination chain,&#8221; and claiming access to it amounts to fraud. </p>
<div style="height:100%" class="lazyload-placeholder"></div>
<p>Last month, Rahul Gandhi, India&#8217;s leader of the opposition, <a href="https://x.com/RahulGandhi/status/2056003542167773455?s=20" target="_blank">demanded the resignation</a> of the country&#8217;s education minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, following the NEET &#8220;paper leak&#8221; that affected 2.2 million students. The NEET-UG exam was first held on May 3 but <a href="https://cdnbbsr.s3waas.gov.in/s37bc1ec1d9c3426357e69acd5bf320061/uploads/2026/05/202605122066418251.pdf" target="_blank">was cancelled</a> on May 12, following complaints of irregularities in the process. </p>
<p>A social media-first, mock political party known as the Cockroach Janta Party has also organized protests across India <a href="https://x.com/abhijeet_dipke/status/2066125719088808410?s=20" target="_blank">demanding accountability for the paper leak issue</a>.</p>
<p>The discrepancies in exams have been &#8220;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/04/indias-cockroach-cjp-party-what-investors-need-to-know.html">fairly disastrous,</a>&#8221; Ashok Malik, partner at public policy think tank The&nbsp;Asia Group told CNBC earlier this month. &#8220;It is perhaps the biggest challenge the government has faced in 12 years,&#8221; he said.</p>

<div class="InlineImage-imageEmbedCaption">Michele Bullock, governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), attends a news conference at the bank&#8217;s head office in Sydney, Australia, on Tuesday, Dec. 9, 2025. Australia&#8217;s central bank kept its key interest rate unchanged for a third straight meeting in a widely expected decision, while reiterating that future moves will hinge on incoming economic data.

</div>
<div class="group">
<p>The Reserve Bank of Australia held rates at 4.35% Tuesday, while stating that it was ready to raise rates to manage its mandate for price stability and full employment.</p>
<p>The unanimous move was in line with economists polled by Reuters, and comes as Canberra fights to tamp down inflation in the country. </p>
<div style="height:100%" class="lazyload-placeholder"></div>
<p>In its statement, the RBA said that inflation was &#8220;still too high,&#8221; which warranted keeping the cash rate unchanged as it evaluates &#8220;the response to previous interest rate rises and the impact of the oil supply disruption.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Australian <span class="QuoteInBody-quoteNameContainer" data-test="QuoteInBody" id="RegularArticle-QuoteInBody-1"><a href="https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/.AXJO/">S&amp;P ASX/200</a><span class="QuoteInBody-inlineButton"><span class="AddToWatchlistButton-watchlistContainer" id="-WatchlistDropdown" data-analytics-id="-WatchlistDropdown"><button class="AddToWatchlistButton-watchlistButton" aria-label="Add To Watchlist" data-testid="dropdown-btn"><span class="AddToWatchlistButton-addWatchListFromTag"></span></button></span></span></span> was marginally down following the decision, while the <span class="QuoteInBody-quoteNameContainer" data-test="QuoteInBody" id="RegularArticle-QuoteInBody-2"><a href="https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/AUD=/">Australian dollar</a><span class="QuoteInBody-inlineButton"><span class="AddToWatchlistButton-watchlistContainer" id="-WatchlistDropdown" data-analytics-id="-WatchlistDropdown"><button class="AddToWatchlistButton-watchlistButton" aria-label="Add To Watchlist" data-testid="dropdown-btn"><span class="AddToWatchlistButton-addWatchListFromTag"></span></button></span></span></span> weakened 0.3% against the dollar to trade at 0.705.</p>
<p>While the U.S. and Iran have reached an agreement to end the Iran war, the RBA said that resolution was still at an early stage and global oil supply issues will take some time to resolve, keeping energy prices and inflation elevated.</p>
<p>Earlier this month, Australia reported its GDP expanded by 2.5% in the first three months this year, year on year, missing expectations and at the same rate as in the <a href="https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/economy/national-accounts/australian-national-accounts-national-income-expenditure-and-product/latest-release" target="_blank">prior quarter</a>. </p>
<p>On a quarter-on-quarter basis, Australia&#8217;s GDP grew 0.3% compared with 0.5% forecast in a Reuters poll, and decelerating from 0.9% growth in the prior quarter.</p>
<div style="height:100%" class="lazyload-placeholder"></div>
<p>&#8220;A period of prolonged uncertainty may also cause growth to be lower in Australia&#8217;s major trading partners and in Australia,&#8221; the RBA said. </p>
<p>While growth has been below expectations, inflation has run above the RBA&#8217;s target. While the April print softened to 4.2% on a year on year basis, it was still above the central bank&#8217;s target of 2%-3%. </p>
<p>&#8220;Higher fuel prices have added directly to inflation and there are indications that this is passing through to the prices of other goods and services, so inflation is likely to remain high for some time,&#8221; the RBA wrote. </p>

					<description><![CDATA[VALENSIA, SPAIN &#8211; Media OutReach Newswire &#8211; 16 June 2026 &#8211; Geely Cyan Racing delivered&#8230;]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>VALENSIA, SPAIN &#8211;  <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> &#8211; 16 June 2026 &#8211; Geely Cyan Racing delivered a landmark result at the second round of the 2026 Kumho FIA TCR World Tour in Valencia, Spain, where Santiago Urrutia claimed victory in all three races with the Geely Preface TCR. The achievement marked the first time a driver has won all three races in a single FIA TCR World Tour weekend, highlighting both Urrutia&#8217;s performance and the competitiveness of Geely&#8217;s latest touring car program. </p>
<p> Held at Spain&#8217;s Ricardo Tormo Circuit, the event challenged teams with a revised track layout and high summer temperatures, placing significant demands on vehicle performance, thermal management, durability, and tyre consistency. Under these conditions, the Geely Preface TCR delivered consistent performance and reliability throughout the weekend, further demonstrating the engineering strengths of Geely&#8217;s Compact Modular Architecture (CMA). </p>
<p> Developed through collaboration between engineering teams in China and Sweden, CMA serves as a cornerstone of Geely&#8217;s global vehicle strategy. Designed to meet international standards while supporting multiple powertrain technologies, the platform combines safety, performance, intelligence, and scalability across a wide range of production vehicles. </p>
<p> Motorsport provides one of the industry&#8217;s most demanding validation environments. Competing under extreme loads and rapidly changing conditions generates valuable data that supports continuous improvements in chassis tuning, steering response, thermal management, durability, and overall vehicle performance. </p>
<p> These lessons extend directly to the production Geely Preface. Built on the same CMA foundation as the race car, the sedan combines dynamic driving characteristics with technologies designed for everyday mobility. At its core is a 2.0TD turbocharged engine delivering 147 kW and 325 N·m of torque, paired with a body structure featuring 29,000 N·m/deg torsional rigidity for enhanced stability and handling. </p>
<p> Inside, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 cockpit platform powers a responsive interface, complemented by a 13.2-inch 2K central display for intuitive control. A 540-degree surround-view camera system enhances visibility, while a suite of safety technologies, including Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), reinforces driver confidence in everyday conditions. </p>
<p> For Geely, motorsport is more than competition. Every race weekend strengthens the link between motorsport development and production vehicles, helping transform race-proven engineering into enhanced safety, reliability, and driving confidence for customers worldwide. </p>
<p> As the FIA TCR World Tour progresses across Europe and Asia, Geely Cyan Racing continues to push boundaries on track while advancing technologies for the road. The Geely Preface stands as a compelling example of how global motorsport success can be transformed into tangible performance and value for drivers worldwide. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><i>In the 2026 edition of its flagship policy report the Doing Good Index, the Centre for Asian Philanthropy and Society (CAPS) finds that Asia&#8217;s capacity to deploy private capital for social good is not keeping pace with its potential.</i>  </p>
<ul>
<li>     Asia&#8217;s social sector is under strain: 78% of the 2,166 social delivery organizations (SDOs) surveyed report insufficient domestic funding.   </li>
<li>     Asia is one of the fastest-growing regions for wealth creation, yet the policies and incentives needed to channel it toward social good are not keeping pace.   </li>
<li>     Singapore has become the first economy to enter the &#8220;Doing Excellent&#8221; category, demonstrating what alignment across regulations, tax incentives, government partnerships and efforts to create a culture of giving can achieve.   </li>
<li>     84% of Asian SDOs surveyed apply the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in their operations, pointing to their enduring value as a shared framework for coordination and collective action beyond 2030.   </li>
</ul>
<p> HONG KONG SAR &#8211;  <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> &#8211; 16 June 2026 &#8211; Asia&#8217;s social needs are intensifying, and official development assistance is declining. Yet, while the region&#8217;s wealth is growing dramatically, the policies, incentives and partnerships needed to channel private capital toward social good are not keeping pace. That is a key finding of the<i> Doing Good Index 202</i>6, the fifth edition of CAPS&#8217;s flagship policy report, which assesses the enabling environment for private social investment across 17 Asian economies. </p>
<figure data-image-width="0" data-image-height="0" style="display: block;width: 100%;margin: 0px;padding: 0px;text-align: center" align="center">   <img decoding="async" src="https://release.media-outreach.com/release.php/Images/775014/DGI-2026-Press-Release-Cover.png" alt="DGI 2026 Press Release Cover" width="100%" style="width: 100%;margin: 0px"> </figure>
<p> The report finds that while the enabling environment for private social investment is in place across much of the region, its effectiveness remains uneven. Improvements in registration processes and accountability mechanisms have been accompanied by persistent barriers, including restrictions on foreign funding, regulatory complexity, and inconsistent government engagement. In many cases, policies exist on paper but are not fully implemented in practice, limiting their impact. </p>
<p> At the same time, although trust in SDOs remains high across the region, broader ecosystem conditions, such as media sentiment, talent pipelines, and institutional support, are showing signs of strain. 81% of SDOs struggle to secure unrestricted funds for their work, while 73% report difficulty recruiting staff, constraining the sector&#8217;s ability to turn trust into impact. </p>
<p> <i>&#8220;Asia has the wealth, the will, and in many economies, the foundations of a strong enabling environment. What is needed now is concerted, aligned effort to bring them together. The potential is enormous,&#8221; said Ruth Shapiro, Co-Founder and CEO, Centre for Asian Philanthropy and Society.</i> </p>
<div>   <b>Unlocking Asia&#8217;s US$753 Billion Philanthropic Potential </b> </div>
<p> Even as Asia&#8217;s wealth continues to grow, the region faces significant and intensifying challenges across climate, education and health. Official development assistance is declining, and there is increasing pressure on domestic resources at precisely the moment demand for social services is rising. </p>
<p> If Asian economies were to contribute just 2% of GDP to philanthropy, as the United States does, it could generate an estimated US$753 billion annually for social good. That represents 15 times the official development assistance flowing into the region, and almost half the financing needed to hit the UN&#8217;s SDGs in Asia. But realizing that potential depends on strengthening the policies, incentives and partnerships that enable private capital to flow toward social good. The<i> Doing Good Index 202</i>6 finds that across much of Asia, those conditions are not yet in place. </p>
<p> <i>&#8220;The world has changed dramatically, and Asia can no longer rely on others to address its social challenges. </i>The Doing Good Index 2026<i> shows the region has the potential to meet this moment, but only if governments and philanthropists act together to build the conditions that make it possible,&#8221; said Ronnie Chan, Chairman, Centre for Asian Philanthropy and Society.</i> </p>
<p> <b>Singapore Shows What Alignment Can Achieve</b> <br /> Singapore has, for the first time, entered the top &#8220;Doing Excellent&#8221; category in the Doing Good Index 2026, reflecting years of deliberate effort to build a strong culture of philanthropy and civic engagement. Clear regulations, generous tax incentives, openness to foreign funding, and close collaboration between government and the social sector have created a strong enabling environment. </p>
<p> Singapore&#8217;s achievement demonstrates that when regulations, fiscal policy, ecosystem conditions and procurement work in concert, the outcomes are stronger. While no two economies will follow the same path, Singapore&#8217;s experience highlights the conditions that matter, such as the active promotion and alignment of philanthropy and giving across the whole of society. </p>
<p> <b>The SDGs: Falling Short but Still Relevant in Asia</b> <br /> In the run-up to 2030, global progress toward the SDGs has fallen short of ambition, and Asia is no exception. Yet the  <i>Doing Good Index 2026</i> finds that 84% of SDOs continue to apply the SDGs in their work. Further, the rise of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting has not displaced them, because most SDOs see the two frameworks as complementary rather than competing. </p>
<p> As the deadline approaches, the Index points to their enduring value not as a target but as a shared framework for strategy, coordination and collective action in the years ahead. </p>
<p> <b>Other Findings from the Report</b>  </p>
<ul>
<li>     Talent shortages persist for Asia&#8217;s social sector: more than 70% of SDOs face difficulty recruiting and retaining staff across Asia.   </li>
<li>     AI adoption is happening, but usage remains limited: only 13% of surveyed SDOs report using AI regularly.   </li>
<li>     39% of SDOs say claiming tax benefits is difficult, suggesting administrative barriers may be limiting the impact of existing incentives for giving.   </li>

<h4>About the Doing Good Index</h4>
<p>Released biennially and now in its fifth edition, the  <i>Doing Good Index</i> is CAPS&#8217;s flagship policy research that assesses the enabling environment for doing good in Asia: the systems, policies and practices that facilitate or constrain philanthropic giving and the deployment of this capital. </p>
<p> CAPS&#8217;s research team surveyed 2,166 social delivery organizations (SDOs) and conducted 132 interviews with sector experts across 17 Asian economies to provide a comparative, evidence-based view of where environments are supportive, where gaps persist, and how systems can be strengthened to better mobilize private resources for public good. </p>
<p> The  <i>Index</i> looks at indicators under four sub-indexes: regulations, tax and fiscal policy, ecosystem, and government procurement, which provide an understanding of the specific measures economies have taken to catalyze philanthropic giving and promote social sector development. </p>
<p> Since its inception, the  <i>Index</i> has been an essential resource for policymakers, philanthropists, and nonprofit leaders seeking to understand and improve the conditions for giving across the region. </p>

<p>&#8220;The choices being made right now—on trade, on democracy, on technology, on America&#8217;s role in the world—will shape the nation&#8217;s next 250 years,&#8221; said Leslie Vinjamuri, president and CEO of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs. &#8220;There is no more consequential time to bring the world&#8217;s best thinkers together to inform the decisions the next generation of leaders must make.&#8221; </p>

<p>DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, June 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) &#8212; This week&#8217;s crypto news starts with Pepeto, where the latest presale round sold out ahead of schedule and new wallets now enter at double last month&#8217;s rate. The cofounder of the original Pepe token is building it alongside a former Binance developer who designed the exchange engine, with a Zero-fee trading across Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Solana goes live at listing, where every swap sends demand back through the token while staking pays 170% APY.</p>
<p>That is why this crypto news cycle matters. The SpaceX IPO raised $75 billion at a $1.75 trillion valuation on Nasdaq per <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=HyRioUdQ06OjxNyPoMKD1x-Etx-_pB80mB4s3CjoTZ1iWoxJbaEXToRQuDPTeXBAcFiifDgEjXloC9woUoUKCw==" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title=""><u>CNBC</u></a>, the largest stock offering in history, and shares jumped 19% on day one to close at $160.95. But that 19% went to institutions while retail got leftovers, and crypto presales flip that. The earliest entry with the biggest upside is open to everyone with no minimum and no waitlist, and right now that entry is Pepeto at a price that will not last.</p>
<p><strong>Crypto News: Pepeto Gains Speed as the SpaceX IPO Shows Stocks Hit a Ceiling Crypto Does Not</strong></p>
<p>Pepeto is burning through presale rounds at a pace no recent cycle matched. SpaceX priced at $135 and closed at $160.95 according to CNN, but that 19% is where the easy gains end. The company already sits at $2 trillion after a $4.3 billion Q1 net loss, and for that stock to double it needs to become more valuable than every company on earth except Apple and Microsoft.</p>
<p>Now compare that to what Elon Musk already did in crypto. Dogecoin went from fractions of a cent to $0.73 in May 2021, driven by Musk&#8217;s posts on X per <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=69mUFklAzOWidsthvJUsmzIXxyjOzixynDYwV6fV4F7UBg6OYwt-YTNvR6pN6heiO-Bs2Wu-qEezWDMX1KF-TtC8DrCmpaP_SHvxXD_wlPA=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title=""><u>Yahoo Finance</u></a>, and that run turned wallets under a dollar into generational wealth. When SpaceX went public on June 12 Dogecoin surged 6% the same day, but Dogecoin still sits near $0.09 today, roughly 87% below that peak, because attention without real tools fades and a coin with no exchange and no utility cannot hold what it gains.</p>
<p>The lesson is clear: every time Elon Musk moves, meme coins follow, but only the ones with real products hold the gains. SpaceX proved Musk pulls more capital than anyone alive, and Dogecoin proved meme coins create millionaires faster than any stock. Pepeto carries both in this crypto news cycle, meme energy that moves crowds and exchange tools that keep demand growing after listing. Not entering while the presale is open could be the biggest miss of 2026.</p>
<p><strong>Inside the Pepeto Exchange That Delivers What SpaceX Stock and Dogecoin Never Could</strong></p>
<p>Pepeto solves the problem both sides carry by running a zero-fee exchange with AI contract checks across Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Solana, where every trade after listing sends buy pressure to holders who locked in early. SpaceX stock moves on earnings once a quarter and Dogecoin moves when Musk posts, but Pepeto ties every swap to token demand, the same setup that took BNB from its 2017 ICO to a $90 billion market cap.</p>
<p>Dogecoin created massive wealth with zero products, but Pepeto brings that same community energy plus an exchange that keeps buy pressure growing after listing. Dogecoin needed Elon Musk to stay interested, but Pepeto only needs traders to keep trading, and they always do. Presale holders are not guessing. They ran the same math the early ETH and BNB holders did, and the answer came back the same.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p>
<p>This week&#8217;s crypto news made the pattern clear. Everyone wants life-changing returns, but the people who get them all did one thing: they moved before the crowd showed up. The SpaceX IPO at $161 with record demand shows what a large listing can do, but it also shows the ceiling. SpaceX stock needs years just to double, and Dogecoin needs Elon Musk to post at the right moment just to bounce.</p>
<p>Pepeto removes both limits. The exchange creates buy pressure from every trade, the community carries no ceiling, and the same force that took Dogecoin from nothing to $0.73 built thousands of millionaires who moved first. ETH turned $100 into $1.6 million and BNB turned $500 into $3.5 million, and those entries came exactly once. <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=OSm3yOUSSQM5Ep-ItG95tb-exVp4a0qdu_b6GtXa-QDwom-Los0wY7YV2jGY8o1VU_JZD75YNgmelS7fn2_gsQ==" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title=""><u>Pepeto</u></a> sits at that same stage right now, and a few months from now this is either someone&#8217;s biggest win or a missed chance they carry for years.</p>

<p><strong>FAQs</strong></p>
<p><strong>How did the SpaceX IPO affect meme coins?</strong></p>
<p>The SpaceX IPO affected meme coins immediately, with Dogecoin surging 6% the same day as Musk became a trillionaire on the listing. Retail investors who missed the stock are now looking at crypto presales for earlier access to high-growth entries.</p>
<p><strong>Why are investors choosing Pepeto over Dogecoin now?</strong></p>
<p>Investors are choosing Pepeto over Dogecoin because Pepeto runs a zero-fee exchange that turns every trade into token demand across three chains with a SolidProof audit. The presale crossed $10.27 million at $0.0000001876 with 170% staking APY and a Binance listing approaching.</p>

<h4><i>Rise vGPU + ModelHub Power China’s AI into the Heterogeneous Orchestration Era</i></h4>
</p>
<p>HONG KONG SAR &#8211;  <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> &#8211; 15 June 2026 &#8211; Frost &amp; Sullivan, a globally renowned growth consulting firm, has released its &#8220;2026 AI Infrastructure Orchestration Platform White Paper&#8221;. The report recognizes Phancy Group&#8217;s Rise vGPU as a Tier 1 Leading Platform, the highest maturity tier in heterogeneous GPU orchestration. Phancy&#8217;s ModelHub also achieved the highest Overall Score in the enterprise-grade model management platform evaluation. This marks a significant endorsement of Phancy&#8217;s technological capability in heterogeneous AI infrastructure. </p>
<p> According to the white paper, as large model applications scale rapidly, China&#8217;s AI industry is facing structural challenges stemming from multi-chip coexistence. These include hardware heterogeneity, fragmented software stacks, persistently low GPU utilization (generally below 30%), and rising model adaptation complexity — all of which have become major bottlenecks for enterprise-scale AI deployment. </p>
<p> The report highlights a fundamental shift in AI infrastructure competitiveness – moving away from &#8220;single-chip performance&#8221; toward &#8220;cluster-scale system coordination.&#8221; At this critical juncture, Phancy has positioned itself as a leader in advanced orchestration through its full-stack AI infrastructure platform, offering a proven solution to heterogeneous compute challenges and helping drive China&#8217;s AI industry from &#8220;compute accumulation&#8221; into a new era of &#8220;compute orchestration.&#8221; </p>
<p> <b>Phancy Rise vGPU: Tier 1 Leading Platform</b> </p>
<p> In its assessment of mainstream AI infrastructure platforms, Frost &amp; Sullivan defined Tier 1 criteria across three core dimensions: heterogeneous support, fine-grained control, and production-grade execution. Phancy Rise vGPU meets all three standards and has been recognized as a Tier 1 Leading Platform. </p>
<p> Rise vGPU transforms AI infrastructure from fragmented, low-efficiency device-level management to a unified software-defined control plane. Its key technology breakthroughs include:  </p>
<ul>
<li>     <b>Comprehensive Heterogeneous Management:</b> Unified onboarding and management across more than 10 mainstream GPU/NPU vendors, including NVIDIA, Ascend, Cambricon, Hygon, and others.   </li>
<li>     <b>Ultra-Fine Resource Partitioning:</b> Industry-leading sub-GPU level compute and MB-level memory granularity slicing.   </li>
<li>     <b>Significant Utilization Improvement:</b> Through safe oversubscription and time/space multiplexing, GPU utilization is increased from industry averages below 30% to 70%-90%.   </li>
<li>     <b>Intelligent Precision Scheduling</b>: Multi-dimensional scheduling algorithms based on priority, topology, load, and resource awareness to achieve optimal compute allocation.   </li>
<li>     Production-Grade SLA Assurance: The Deterministic Execution Layer delivers committed and auditable SLA guarantees for critical inference workloads.   </li>
<li>     <b>Full Lifecycle Operability:</b> Comprehensive monitoring, metering, and cost allocation capabilities that turn GPU resources into truly operable digital assets.   </li>
</ul>
<p> <b>Model Hub: Highest Overall Score in Model Management Platform Evaluation</b> </p>
<p> Beyond compute orchestration, the report underscores the strategic importance of enterprise-grade model management platforms. As a powerful complement to Rise vGPU, Phancy ModelHub enables enterprises to build a complete full-stack AI infrastructure — from compute to models and from resource scheduling to business delivery. </p>
<p> The white paper notes that Phancy ModelHub delivers leading performance in key areas such as Model &amp; Chip Compatibility, Execution Stability &amp; Performance, and Model-GPU Coordination &amp; Scheduling, achieving the highest Overall Score. Through its unified model management and execution platform, ModelHub creates a seamless closed-loop process covering model onboarding, deployment optimization, inference services, and version governance — significantly lowering the barrier to model deployment and accelerating AI innovation. </p>
<p> <b>Dr. Dai Wenyuan, Founder &amp; CEO of Phancy,</b> said: &#8220;The Frost &amp; Sullivan white paper accurately captures the inflection point in AI infrastructure development. The recognition of Rise vGPU as a Tier 1 Leading Platform and ModelHub&#8217;s top Overall Score provide important authoritative validation of Phancy&#8217;s technology strategy and product strength. As a full-stack AI cloud service platform, Phancy believes the next wave of competitiveness in the AI industry will come from systematic improvements in compute orchestration efficiency. We will continue to focus on heterogeneous compute unified scheduling and model ecosystem operations, working closely with customers and industry partners to advance China&#8217;s AI industry from &#8216;compute accumulation&#8217; to a true &#8216;compute orchestration&#8217; era.&#8221; </p>

<p><span class="legendSpanClass">SINGAPORE</span>, <span class="legendSpanClass">June 15, 2026</span> /PRNewswire/ &#8212; ONLYOFFICE releases DocSpace 3.7, the newest version of its room-based collaboration platform. A major update adds new AI capabilities, a redesigned form filling experience, updated editors, and stronger security controls. The release touches nearly every part of the platform and is already available for users.</p>
<div class="PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference" id="DivAssetPlaceHolder1" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; WIDTH: 100%">
<p> <a href="https://asiainsiders.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/onlyoffice-docspace-3-7-released-ai-file-generation-smarter-forms-and-updated-editors-1.jpg" target="_blank" style="color: #0000FF"><img decoding="async" src="https://asiainsiders.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/onlyoffice-docspace-3-7-released-ai-file-generation-smarter-forms-and-updated-editors-1.jpg" title="ONLYOFFICE DocSpace 3.7 released." alt="ONLYOFFICE DocSpace 3.7 released." /></a><br /><span>ONLYOFFICE DocSpace 3.7 released.</span></p>
</p></div>
<p>The update expands how AI agents work inside DocSpace. Users can now generate DOCX files, PDF forms, and PPTX presentations directly from the AI chat and open them right away for editing. The release also adds support for new providers, including DeepSeek, Google AI, and xAI, alongside existing options such as Anthropic, OpenAI, and OpenRouter.</p>
<p>AI setup gets more flexible. A default provider and model selected in DocSpace can sync automatically to the editors, removing the need for separate configuration. Users can upload images into the AI chat to give agents visual context, while an optional extended thinking section appears for more complex requests. Moreover, administrators can turn AI features on or off across DocSpace and the editors, with chat history preserved when disabled.</p>
<p>Form Filling rooms received one of the largest updates in this release. Beyond collecting responses in a spreadsheet, teams can export results to an external database. Users can create and edit PDF forms directly in the room, switch forms into a dedicated filling mode, and refresh collected data.</p>
<p>DocSpace 3.7 also includes editors powered by ONLYOFFICE Docs 9.4. Enhancements comprise horizontal lines for clearer document structure, Dark Document mode in spreadsheets, 25 new slide themes, 20 new transitions, a dedicated Chart Design tab, and Croatian interface support.</p>
<p>File and room management improvements give users more control over their space. Teams can replace default document templates, combine rooms into groups, delete multiple rooms at once, and manage room tags more quickly.</p>
<p>On the security side, administrators are able to prohibit the creation of external links to protect sensitive content. Invite links can now be limited by the number of users who join and by how long the link stays valid. A new Billing section unifies tariff plans, the Wallet, payment methods, and additional services such as extra storage and backup.</p>
