ByteDance is accelerating its AI efforts, with co-founder Zhang Yiming outlining plans to introduce an advanced AI agent within weeks to rival Meta Muse and narrow the gap with US labs by 2030. Meanwhile, Anthropic's new risk-control policy went into effect, targeting users in unsupported regions and blocking consumer subscriptions from relaying requests.

In financial and product updates, OpenAI announced that its third-quarter revenue hit $10 billion, driven by surging corporate adoption of developer and security tools, alongside a plan to retire legacy voice models in favor of the real-time GPT-Live. Additionally, Apple announced that its long-running support community will be permanently shut down and turned into a read-only archive.
