Daily Report on Hong Kong-Listed LLM Concept Stocks (July 15, 2026)

On July 15, Hong Kong equities closed higher, with the LLM sector staging a powerful rebound. Spurred by a sharp drop in Fed rate-hike expectations following a cooler-than-expected US June CPI, the domestic large model "duopoly" surged, with MiniMax gaining over 13% and ZHIPU AI rising more than 6%. On the infrastructure front, WAIC 2026 is set to open with record-breaking exhibition scales, where AI intelligent computing and embodied AI stand out as core focus areas with over 200 exhibitors each; meanwhile, ZHIPU AI established a wholly owned application research institute in Hangzhou. In edge AI developments, Apple is reportedly in talks with PrismML to deploy highly compressed large models natively on iPhones, aiming to deliver low-latency, offline capabilities while securing its signature privacy framework.

I. Industry Observations

On July 15, 2026, Hong Kong stocks closed higher. The Hang Seng Index (HSI) gained 1.4% to 24,681.10 points, and the Hang Seng TECH Index rose 1.3% to 4,740.49 points. Total daily turnover expanded, with Southbound trading recording a net inflow of HKD 13.364 billion.

The AI and LLM supply chains staged a strong rebound. MINIMAX-W surged over 13%, and ZHIPU AI rose over 6%, as the domestic large model "duopoly" collectively trended higher, while MININGLAMP-W also closed up nearly 6%. Tencent Holdings advanced 3.9%, and Alibaba gained 2.35%.

On the global macro front, the US June CPI fell 0.4% month-on-month, marking the first negative growth since 2020 and coming in far below market expectations. Consequently, traders' implied probability of a Federal Reserve rate hike in July plummeted from nearly 50% down to 15%, shifting the projected tightening window past September. However, Fed Chairman Warsh delivered a relatively hawkish testimony before Congress, downplaying the significance of a single month's data and emphasizing the central bank's unwavering commitment to curbing inflation.

The 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC 2026) is scheduled to take place in Shanghai from July 17 to 20 under the theme "Intelligent Partners, Co-Creating the Future." The total exhibition area will surpass 100,000 square meters for the first time, attracting over 1,100 domestic and foreign companies. Centered around three primary AI tracks (Comprehensive Forums, LLM & AI Foundations, and Industrial & Manufacturing Intelligentization), the conference will host 112 themed forums, accounting for 64% of the total 175 forums. Notably, the AI Intelligent Computing and Embodied AI segments have emerged as the most heavily participated sectors, each drawing more than 200 enterprises to showcase their latest breakthroughs.

2. KNOWLEDGE ATLAS (02513.HK): Hangzhou Ciyuan Application Research Institute Established with Registered Capital of RMB 20 Million, Indirectly Wholly Owned by ZHIPU AI

Recently, Hangzhou Zhipu Ciyuan Application Research Institute Co., Ltd. was established with Liu Debing as the legal representative and a registered capital of RMB 20 million. Its business scope encompasses artificial intelligence foundational software development, application software development, general software development, and data processing and storage support services. Corporate registration data reveals that the entity is indirectly wholly owned by KNOWLEDGE ATLAS (02513.HK, listed on the HKEX).

3. Apple (AAPL.US): In Talks with PrismML to Compress Large Models for Native Deployment on iPhone; Discussions Early but "Progressing Well"

Apple is engaged in early-stage discussions with Silicon Valley startup PrismML, which claims it can compress large AI models to under 4GB to run natively on the iPhone 15 and newer models while retaining roughly 90% of their baseline intelligence. If technically validated, the move will significantly fortify Apple's privacy architecture and provide vital structural support for upgrading Siri. The talks are currently in a highly preliminary phase, though the startup's CEO noted that negotiations are "progressing well." The news broke just one day after Apple launched the iOS 27 public beta, which features a heavily revamped Siri designed to compete with AI assistants from OpenAI and Anthropic. Native on-device AI operations effectively reduce latency, lower cloud infrastructure expenditures, and enable offline functionality, aligning perfectly with Apple's core strategic positioning regarding privacy.
