Yueting Jia: Thank you, John, and thank you for joining us here today. In today's call, I will provide an update on FF's second quarter 2026 results key progress from the second quarter through today and our outlook for the next stage of growth. The second quarter validated our core growth model where EAI devices serve as the entryway, real-world data as the fuel and the EAI Brain and developer platform as a driving engine. FF made a pivotal transition moving from strategic framework into execution, scaled delivery and commercial scenario deployment. Centered around our core pillars, we have established an initial closed-loop flywheel. Device deployment feeds real-world scenario data, which drives EAI Brain training, leading to skills and solution upgrades and ultimately fueling further device deployment on EAI robotics business. As of the end of the first quarter, second quarter and July 2026, cumulative sales and shipments totaled 22,242 and 394 units, respectively, demonstrating a continued upward trend in volume. Given the strong momentum, our annual shipment target has been updated to 2,000 units. To drive broader adoption, we also launched the EAI robotics education ecosystem for both B2C consumer and B2B education markets. By integrating robot bodies, AI programming curricula, developer tools, skills ecosystems and real interaction data led by entry-level products like FX Navi, we are lowering the barrier to Physical AI learning and empowering young learners to evolve from AI users into AI creators. Based on this progress, the company has completed the strategic upgrade to its Four-Core Full-Stack AI Ecosystem in the second quarter, further defining its development road map around 4 core pillars, the EAI Brain, EAI Devices, Industry Productivity Solutions and Developer Platform …
