Beating AI Express (Dongcha) cites a scoop from Big Tech Daily: Doubao’s product line received an urgent task during the Mid-Autumn Festival to rapidly develop a product benchmarking Meta’s Muse. The project required joint debugging to be completed by September 27, with an experience version ready for internal review by September 30, giving a total timeline of just around 6 days. Multiple teams from Doubao’s product line and its upstream and downstream partners joined the development. Meta’s Muse, which launched this month, has quickly gained popularity. Positioned as a Personal AI Agent, it connects to user-authorized services like email and calendar, operates browsers in an independent cloud environment, handles tasks such as shopping and travel, and continues running even after users exit the app. Reuters cited Apptopia data that Muse secured roughly 2.8 million downloads in the 12 days post-launch, with a growth rate exceeding that of ChatGPT’s mobile version at its initial release.

According to Nikkei, VIS, a chipmaker in which Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSM.N) holds a stake, held the opening ceremony for its first advanced chip manufacturing plant in Singapore on Monday and is already planning a second facility. Driven by the AI infrastructure boom, the new plant’s production capacity was fully booked as soon as it launched operations. The wafer fab, named VSMC, is a joint venture between VIS and European chipmaker NXP Semiconductors. It began trial production in June, taking just 18 months from groundbreaking to trial runs—far faster than the more than two years typically needed to build a chip factory. VIS noted that the yield of its first batch of chips is at least 99%. The plant is scheduled to start mass production in early 2027. It will also assist TSMC in producing critical "interposers" for advanced chip packaging—substrates that connect different types of chips—serving leading AI chip makers including NVIDIA, Google, and Broadcom. TSMC is VIS’s largest shareholder, holding approximately 19% of its shares.
