Insight: Beating AI News Flash, developer Mihir Gupta spent an afternoon using Claude Code to revamp his laggy TCL smart TV. The device only has 2GB of RAM; the AI helped him disable 25 pre-installed apps and background services, and replace the ad-ridden native home screen with a custom interface he built. The new home screen’s RAM usage dropped from 192MB to 83MB, a roughly 57% reduction. The interface mimics Apple TV’s design, retains shortcuts for frequently used apps, HDMI input, and settings, and automatically switches wallpapers between 12 nature photos. The entire installation package is just 4.7MB, with no requirement for root access or firmware flashing. After enabling the TV’s developer mode, Claude Code connects to the device via Wi-Fi and ADB, checks pre-installed software, backs up configurations, develops the new home screen, and verifies results via screenshots. Gupta has open-sourced all related code, prompts, and recovery scripts. This is not the first AI-powered TV modification: In early September, engineer Mert Cobanov used Claude Code to clean a 4-year-old Android TV. On October 17, developer Gathin open-sourced a similar project named tv-vibehack, and Gupta’s work was inspired by this project.

TRON founder Justin Sun recently discussed Hyperliquid during a 3.5-hour offline conversation with Jin Ming, calling it one of the biggest new breakthroughs to emerge in this cycle. The U.S. stock perpetual contracts it launched have opened up new horizons for the industry. However, as more projects enter the U.S. stock perpetual contract space, Hyperliquid is facing intensifying competition. Sun also noted that the future competition between decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and centralized exchanges (CEXs) hinges on how U.S. regulators define Hyperliquid’s regulatory boundaries. If Hyperliquid can secure regulatory exemptions similar to Uniswap, a large number of CEXs could shift to the DEX model to cut compliance costs and gain broader global operational room, which would likely squeeze CEXs that fail to transition. Conversely, tighter regulatory requirements would also put significant pressure on Hyperliquid. Hyperliquid’s maturity in regulatory affairs and U.S. domestic operations still lags behind onshore compliant firms like Circle. Thus, the long-term competitive landscape between DEXs and CEXs largely depends on regulators’ stance toward new trading models and the compliance boundaries they establish.

Beating AI Express (Dongcha) News: Huang Wenhao, head of model evaluation at ByteDance’s Seed team, has recently left his position and may pursue a startup next. Huang holds a PhD in Computer Science from Peking University and has prior work experience at Microsoft Research Asia and Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI). In 2023, he joined Zero One Infinity (01.AI), founded by Kai-Fu Lee, as a co-founder, serving as Vice President of Algorithms and head of model training, leading the development and launch of large models including Yi-34B and Yi-Large. In August 2024, Huang left Zero One Infinity to join ByteDance’s Seed team, initially handling technical project management and planning while reporting to Zhu Wenjia. In early 2025, after former Google DeepMind Vice President Wu Yonghui took charge of Seed’s basic research, Huang switched to report to Wu. Since then, his work focus has gradually shifted to model evaluation, alongside participation in cutting-edge technology planning and talent recruitment.
