According to an official announcement, South Korea’s leading cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb has officially announced its IPO plans, disclosing a three-phase timeline: complete internal control optimization and preparations for conversion to K-IFRS (Korean International Financial Reporting Standards) by 2026; submit a preliminary listing application in 2027; and complete its official listing in 2028. To advance the IPO, Bithumb has rolled out multiple reform measures, including introducing an institutional-level risk management system, pushing forward the spin-off of its subsidiary Bithumb Asset to optimize its governance structure, partnering with large domestic and international securities firms and law firms, and expanding investor relations (IR) communication channels. Bithumb noted that the IPO aims to enhance corporate transparency and investor protection via institutionalized financial standards, and elevate the overall credibility of South Korea’s crypto asset sector.

Breaking news from Beating AI Insight: After Dario Amodei, Sam Altman, and Elon Musk successively called for slowing down frontier AI development, Donald Trump has explicitly rejected such appeals. He acknowledged that safety guardrails could be added to AI, but argued that many catastrophic predictions will never come to pass. Trump stated that the U.S. is currently ahead of China in AI and hopes to maintain that lead. "Whoever wins the AI race wins everything," he said. He also criticized that many "negative forces" are hyping things that will never happen.

Doubao Mobile Assistant Officially Launches: GUI Operation App Remains, App Can Reject AI Operations

Beating AI News: Doubao Officially Launches Consumer Version of Its Mobile Assistant. It remains an AI assistant software that operates in collaboration with mobile manufacturers at the system level. The first mass-produced device, nubia NaviX Ultra, was previously announced and is set to launch and go on sale on September 16. The "phone operation" feature, which sparked the most controversy earlier, has not been scrapped and remains in Beta form. Doubao also launched the SAEP (Screen Automation Operation Declaration Protocol), allowing third-party apps to set their own rules on whether the AI can perform screen reading, tapping, and operations within their apps; if an app explicitly refuses, Doubao will not proceed with automated operations. In July, LatePost reported that the new generation of Doubao mobile assistant would no longer directly operate super apps like Alibaba and Tencent via GUI. Only when these apps proactively open MCP services can Doubao call their relevant data and functions. MCP refers to interfaces that apps proactively open for Doubao, while SAEP governs the scope of operations developers allow Doubao to perform when interacting with apps via screen reading and simulated taps. Both mechanisms are now in place simultaneously.
