ByteDance in talks with MediaTek on custom AI chips as Nvidia access tightens

ByteDance is in late-stage talks with Taiwan\'s MediaTek to secure custom AI chips for data centres, as U.S. export restrictions make it harder to obtain Nvidia\'s top processors. The talks involve application-specific integrated circuits, though no order volume has been set and no contract has been signed. If agreed, ByteDance would become MediaTek\'s second major ASIC customer after Google. ByteDance is also weighing a sharp rise in capital spending this year and has secured a large loan.

RoseBerry Media plans to rework selected episodes for the short-form streaming platform Epis, focusing first on two late-2000s storylines featuring Margot Robbie. The Verge said the format differs from traditional microdramas made for phones. AI-generated production and reuse of existing content are also raising concerns about jobs, pay and royalties.

China AI firms\' open-weights strategy questioned as revenue trails OpenAI, Anthropic by 90 percent

Seven major Chinese AI developers’ annual recurring revenue is about one-tenth that of OpenAI and Anthropic, the South China Morning Post reported, citing Rhodium Group estimates. OpenAI and Anthropic together exceed $100 billion. ByteDance and Alibaba lead among the Chinese firms, while some, including Moonshot AI and DeepSeek, pursue fundraising at high valuations. Analysts also warn heavy computing investment could prolong losses, and open-weights strategies may hinder monetisation.
