    Chinese social media app RedNote=
    is at the top of Apple's app store.
    RedNote is often thought of as the C=

    The company was founded in 2013 and had a=
    bout 300 million monthly
    active users in July 2024. It was valued at $17 =
    billion in July - it
    has raised over $900 million in total funding and ha=

    possible otherwise it will just take questions at face v=

    Chinese officials are evaluating a pote= ntial option that involves Elon Musk acquiring the US operations of TikTok.=
    The plan involves X taking control of the platform and running the busines= ses together. It is unclear whether Musk, TikTok, or ByteDance have held an=
    y talks about the terms of any possible deal. TikTok may no longer be in By= teDance's sole control. Chinese officials recognize that they will face tou=
    gh negotiations with the Trump administration, so they see the TikTok negot= iations as a potential area for reconciliation.

    o1 is not a chat model - it's like a re= port generator: give it enough context, tell it what you want outputted, an=
    d it'll often nail the solution in one shot. People often approach chat mod= els by starting with a simple question and some context, iterating back and=

    pull context from the user. The most effective way to use o1 is to treat o=
    1 like a new hire, give it as much context as possible, and focus on explai= ning what you want the output to be.
