Beating AI News Flash: Hangzhou has launched the "Citywide Coding Plan" to subsidize Zhipu AI’s GLM Coding Plan, targeting Hangzhou-based workers, local college students, and enterprises in Shangcheng District. For individuals, quarterly cards receive a 44% total subsidy, while annual cards get a 51% subsidy—equivalent to a 4.9 discount on annual cards. For example, the Pro version’s annual card, originally priced at 6,456 yuan, costs 3,163.44 yuan after subsidy; the Lite version drops from 1,416 yuan to 693.84 yuan. Each person is eligible for only one subsidy, choosing either a quarterly or annual card, and subsidies will be available until the total fund is exhausted. Workers need to submit Hangzhou social security certificates, while students must provide Hangzhou college enrollment records. Enterprise subsidies are more generous, but only for Shangcheng District-based enterprises. Team version annual cards get a 55% total subsidy, with a maximum subsidy of 1 million yuan per enterprise in principle; enterprises that have already purchased team packages can also apply for subsidies for new seats. Unlike regular vendor promotions, the official explicitly states the funding comes from "government subsidies, enterprise concessions, and market participation". This move marks a shift as local governments start subsidizing AI coding tools as developer productivity infrastructure.

Zamanat announced it is sponsoring Zamanat Fund CEIC Limited, a tokenized private credit fund registered at the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). The fund has a target size of up to $100 million, focusing on private credit in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, with the goal of filling the estimated $250 billion small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) financing gap in the area. Regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), this closed-end exempt fund is positioned as a credit fund, managed by Truleum Venture Partners, with fund administration services handled by Apex Group. Fund units will be issued as ZM1 investment tokens on ZIGChain, and offered to eligible professional investors in a regulated, whitelisted environment. Zamanat noted that only around 11% of SMEs in the GCC have access to credit, and the fund will provide capital to fundamentally sound companies underserved by traditional financing channels. The firm added that this fund marks its first successful implementation of bringing GCC private credit into a regulated digital structure. Key clarifications: The fund is not an Islamic fund nor is it marketed as Sharia-compliant; "digital Islamic assets" are part of Zamanat’s broader business strategy. ZM1 tokens are only available to investors meeting DFSA professional client requirements and do not constitute a public securities offering.
