According to "Reading Plus," the short drama application Hongguo Short Drama App, owned by ByteDance, has launched "Xiaoguo AI." This feature has undergone a period of gray testing and is now officially online, relying on the Doubao large model. It is labeled as Hongguo AI BOT within the app and is positioned as an AI assistant for finding short dramas, providing series search and recommendations. The report states that this is the first time Hongguo has integrated conversational AI into the user-end drama search scenario, beyond AI short drama production.According to practical tests by "Reading Plus," the main entry point is located in the app's search bar. Clicking it leads to the conversation page, and users can also ask questions in the comment section by @XiaoguoAI. The page features quick questions, such as "What short dramas are everyone watching?" and "What are the differences between male-oriented and female-oriented short dramas?" When users input keywords, it returns a list of suggestions, a trending short drama list, and series popularity. The AI responses can pop up short drama cards with play buttons, which redirect to the viewing page when clicked.This tool relies on generative models and search plugins to return information such as titles, plot summaries, poster stills, reputation ratings, and playback channels based on keywords and viewing preferences. From user feedback, it can also record update requests and push notifications when new seasons of followed series are available for reservation.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman introduced three proposals for the safe development of super AI to employees last week. The first is to establish a global regulatory organization similar to the International Atomic Energy Agency, to inspect advanced models and audit safety measures. Insiders say Altman leans towards this route.The second proposal emulates the European Organization for Nuclear Research, merging major AI laboratories into one organization or collaborating through a unified agency for joint development, rather than continuing to race against each other. The third and most extreme, which he referred to as the "Eliezer Plan": an AI company achieves recursive self-improvement first, and then uses overwhelming economic power to control computing power, making it impossible for other developers to catch up. Altman described this idea as "melting down all other companies' GPUs," while stating that this plan is very bad and is only meant to illustrate the extreme possibility.The idea of "melting down GPUs" comes from AI safety researcher Eliezer Yudkowsky. He proposed a thought experiment in 2021, suggesting that super AI could create self-replicating nanomachines to melt down global GPUs, stating that this is merely an extreme example to illustrate the intensity of intervention, not a proposal to be executed. OpenAI proposed the establishment of an "AI version of the International Atomic Energy Agency" in 2023, and Google DeepMind head Hassabis has also advocated for the creation of an "AI version of CERN." Currently, OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic plan to establish a joint safety standards organization by the end of this year or early next year, but there are disagreements over the responsibility for model safety testing. Altman hopes to set speed limits for AI development while stating that OpenAI cannot currently cede its competitive advantage to rivals.

Financial Associated Press, October 20 - Amazon launched the open-source tool TorchNeuron on the 19th local time, aiming to lower the barrier for developers to transition from NVIDIA chips to its self-developed chips, challenging NVIDIA's software barrier built on CUDA. According to reports, this tool allows AI code written in PyTorch to run on Amazon's self-developed AI chips without the need for rewriting. PyTorch is maintained primarily by Meta and is described as an open-source framework used by most AI developers.Amazon's chip design department, Annapurna Labs, introduced that with TorchNeuron, developers only need to modify one configuration to run the same code on the self-developed Trainium chip. Amazon announced the launch of this tool on the 19th local time and plans to publicly release it in a free open-source format at the PyTorch conference in San Jose, California on the 20th.Colin Brace, Vice President of Software at Annapurna Labs, stated in an interview that the launch of TorchNeuron is intended to reduce the steps required for developers to try Amazon's self-developed chips, starting from the customers' existing workflows. He revealed that over 30 early customers are already using it, covering fields such as robotics, world models, and voice AI, and mentioned that switching to Amazon chips can save costs.

On October 19, the team from the fully homomorphic encryption company Zama announced that users participating in the incentive distribution platform Merkl on the Zama confidential vault can now directly receive cZAMA rewards in the Zama app. The rewards are settled through confidential transfers, and both the positions and the reward amounts remain confidential from deposit to distribution.In September 2026, Zama launched confidential access to 16 selected vaults on the lending protocol Morpho and initiated the first batch of confidential incentives with Merkl, where rewards are calculated based on encrypted balances. When depositing into eligible vaults, users can activate additional incentive options, granting viewing permissions for Merkl to read encrypted balances to calculate rewards without disclosing personal positions. This permission is enabled by default on the deposit interface, and deposits not shared with Merkl do not qualify for incentives.Confidential vaults accumulate based on the user's confidential vault shares and can be claimed during the ongoing activity; existing public vaults with confidential access have rewards collectively obtained by the vault packaging contracts, which are distributed after the activity ends. Zama recommends claiming confidential activities at the end to reduce multiple on-chain fees. Taking the Flowdesk Confidential High Yield USDT vault on Morpho as an example, the related activity ended on October 12, and eligible depositors can now claim their rewards. Users need to check their earnings in Merkl using their wallet and complete the claim in the Zama app by connecting the same wallet; the amount received will not be publicly disclosed on-chain.
