Nvidia (NVDA.US) CEO Jensen Huang said that the breakthrough of Anthropic's AI model Mythos demonstrates that the US should seek stronger cooperation with China, enabling AI researchers from the world's two largest economies to reach consensus on the safe use of AI technology.

He noted that dialogue and research exchanges between the two countries may be the most solid approach. Most importantly, both sides should strive to forge consensus on the uses of AI, particularly on which applications should not involve AI.

He added that he is concerned that tensions between the US and China over trade and security issues could hinder collaboration in key research areas.

Global smartphone shipments in 1Q26 shrank 4.1% YoY to 289.7 million units, snapping a streak of ten consecutive quarters of growth since mid-2023, based on preliminary data from IDC's latest Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker.

The slowdown in 1Q26 was expected to be a mild precursor to the full-year trend, as tight supply and rising prices of memory-related components may further suppress market growth.

Samsung (005930.KS) regained the global top spot, driven by the Galaxy S26 Ultra, with shipments growing 3.6% YoY to 62.8 million units. Apple (AAPL.US) came in as second as the iPhone 17 series delivered robust performance, with global shipments increasing 3.3% YoY to 61.1 million units. XIAOMI-W (01810.HK) ranked third with global shipments of 33.8 million units, down 19.1% YoY. OPPO and vivo ranked fourth and fifth, with shipments dropping 9.9% and 6.8% YoY, respectively.

In the mainland China market, shipments totaled 69 million units in 1Q26, down 3.3% YoY. Among them, Huawei maintained its leading position nationwide with shipments of 13.7 million units, up 8.1% YoY, while Apple recorded shipments of 13.1 million units, surging 33.3% YoY.
