Scenario Delivery to Decide the Second Half of Voice AI: Bairong Intelligence (06608.HK) Builds Long-Term Value

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 30/10/2026 / 17:48 UTC+8 Voice large models have turned accurate recognition and lifelike speech synthesis into universal capabilities. As metrics including recognition accuracy, synthetic naturalness and response latency converge across the industry, a clear consensus has emerged: the first half of Voice AI competition centres on model iteration, while the second half hinges on business scenario delivery. On 27 October 2026, Bairong AI (06608.HK, “Bairong”) held its brand and product launch event “From Answers To Actions” in Shanghai, unveiling a full Voice AI product suite built on the unified VoxOne foundational platform. Far more than a routine product launch, the event marks a landmark case for the second-half competition: when foundation models become universally accessible, what truly creates a sustainable competitive moat? The Truth of Enterprise-grade Deployment: Speech Recognition Is Easy, Delivering Business Outcomes Is Challenging The real bottleneck is never model performance, but real-world business operations. Voice interaction follows a fundamentally different logic from text communication. Every spoken line carries both semantics and emotion; pauses, tone and rhythm all convey subtext. Traditional telephone calls use narrowband sampling, capturing far less acoustic data than internet audio, resulting in compromised performance when generic models are applied directly. Most critically, voice interaction is continuous and dynamic: users interrupt, revise requests, vent frustration or request a human agent transfer at any moment. Bairong breaks enterprise Voice AI deployment down into three key stages: capturing user requirements, sustaining natural dialogue, and delivering tangible business outcomes. The first two rely on core model performance, yet the third separates winners from the pack. Failed interactions in consumer scenarios allow simple retries, yet operational missteps in enterprise contact centers often trigger customer complaints. This explains why off-the-shelf generic AI solutions consistently underperform in complex corporate environments. VoxOne Foundation + RaaS Model: Delivery Forms the Core Moat Bairong’s solution unifies all technical capabilities on one foundational platform and builds standardized end-to-end delivery systems. Positioned as production-ready enterprise-grade Voice AI, the VoxOne platform is powered by a self-developed dual-model matrix. It delivers end-to-end latency under 500 milliseconds, with a word error rate as low as 2.30% in independent tests. Its most irreplicable competitive moat lies in proprietary data. Bairong has accumulated 2.6 billion real business call records that cannot be synthesised or obtained publicly — the most valuable fuel for iterating vertical models. Three product lines sit on top of the VoxOne platform to cover diverse client needs: Baifu provides silicon-based workforce for small, mid-sized and large enterprises; Baiying focuses on intelligent outbound sales; Baiyu offers voice interaction capabilities to ecosystem partners. All products run on the Results-as-a-Service (RaaS) pricing model, with charges directly tied to delivery performance: completed work orders, deployment scale, and revenue share from converted business leads. Deployment capability is what truly separates industry players. Bairong maintains a dedicated team of field implementation engineers. The team embeds with clients to integrate systems, streamline workflows and turn manual operations into AI-driven processes — covering the critical “first 99 miles” of rollout. Only with solid system integration, workflow adaptation and compliance governance can AI capabilities deliver real value in the “last mile” of business scenarios. In the first half of 2026, Bairong’s AICC business posted revenue of RMB166 million, up 52% year-on-year. Revenue from emerging verticals such as logistics and securities surged 195% YoY. In logistics scenarios, daily call volumes handled by silicon-based workforce jumped from under 1,000 on launch to 15,000. Leading brokerages expanded their silicon-based workforce headcount from 30 at the start of the year to 300. Clients expanding deployments with real capital outlay serve as the most robust proof of Bairong’s scenario delivery strength. It is worth clarifying that Bairong does not compete head-on with general-purpose large models. Generic models deliver universal speech-to-text and text-to-speech functions, while Bairong focuses on enabling AI to deliver business outcomes for enterprises. The two are complementary rather than mutually exclusive. Instead of just licensing AI tools, Bairong takes over end-to-end workflows originally handled by human agents, freeing staff to focus on high-complexity, human-touch customer services. From Product Iteration to Vertical Rollout: Bairong’s Long-Term AI Roll-up Strategy The second half of the competition will extend beyond product upgrades to full industrial consolidation. The AI Roll-up strategy is already well-established across North America: players acquire client bases and business workflows via capital investments, optimise processes with AI, and finally capture value through superior cost and service quality. The underlying logic is straightforward: annual labour expenditure far outweighs software spending by dozens of times. Sustainable profitability rarely comes from software licensing alone; it comes from efficiency gains after AI is embedded into day-to-day workflows. Bairong has rolled out a two-pronged strategic roadmap. First, it pursues AI+BPO collaboration with Shanghai Integrity Bankcall Network Technology. Routine tasks are automated by AI, while complex cases remain with human agents, greatly expanding the scope of deployable AI use cases. Second, Bairong has set up a RMB500 million AI industrial fund alongside CICC Capital. The fund targets computing power, hardware and technology firms across the AICC value chain. Unlike pure financial investment, the fund stays tightly aligned with Bairong’s core business: it targets upstream assets that can be integrated into Bairong’s delivery pipeline, rather than short-term financial returns. Felix Zhang, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Bairong, has laid out a clear path: “Validate first, then replicate, then scale up.” The product launch fully embodies this roadmap. Replicable business models have already been proven out in logistics and securities. The speed of expansion into high-volume verticals including airlines, banking and telecoms will define how strongly Bairong positions itself in this industry shift. Yet the market still largely views Bairong purely as a traditional fintech player, and has not yet fully priced in its fast-growing second growth curve. As Voice AI competition shifts from tuning model parameters to industrial-scale implementation, only players with deep vertical insights, reliable delivery execution and robust integration capacity will secure a seat in the second half of the competition. 30/10/2026 Dissemination of a Financial Press Release, transmitted by EQS News.The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.Media archive at www.todayir.com

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 30/10/2026 / 09:15 MSK Solidcore Resources plc (Solidcore or the Company) reports production results for the third quarter ended 30 September 2026. “Our operations continue to deliver stable results, and we remain on track to meet our full-year production guidance. We are also making significant progress in releasing accumulated concentrate inventories, which is expected to support stronger sales and robust cash flow generation towards the year-end. In parallel, we achieved an important milestone in our strategic development with the Board’s approval of the Syrymbet tin project, marking a key step towards diversifying our portfolio and expanding our long-term growth opportunities”, said Vitaly Nesis, CEO of Solidcore Resources plc. HIGHLIGHTS No fatalities occurred among the Company’s employees and contractors in Q3. Seven injuries were recorded at Varvara as a result of a traffic accident caused by contractor. No violations of occupational health and safety (OHS) regulations by the affected employees were identified. Five employees have since returned to work, while two remain in recovery and their health is not at risk. Detailed information is provided below. No work-related injuries were recorded among contractors. Q3 and 9M gold equivalent (GE) production increased by 18% and 44% year-on-year (y-o-y) to 148 and 358 Koz, respectively, supported by third-party concentrate processing and respective inventory destockpiling. Quarterly mine-level metal output totalled 143 Koz on the back of higher gold concentrate production at Kyzyl which is in turn driven by higher head grade. 9M mine-level output was 410 Koz, a 4% increase y-o-y. Quarterly sales decreased by 10% y-o-y to 141 Koz, as the beginning of Q3 saw the continued impact of concentrate stockpiles accumulated following changes to Russian gold export regulations in the previous quarter. Shipments subsequently resumed at a normal pace later in the reporting period. 9M sales increased by 33% to 345 Koz, driven by higher production. Revenue grew to US$ 602 million in the quarter (+12% y-o-y) and US$ 1,575 million (+83%y-o-y) for nine months, reflecting higher gold prices and 9M sales. The average realised gold price for nine months was US$ 4,561/oz, up 46% y-o-y (9M 2025: US$ 3,315/oz). The Company generated a significant positive free cash flow in Q3 resulting in the increase of net cash to US$ 841 million as of 30 September 2026 (30 June 2026: US$ 648 million). In October, the Company successfully completed the market share buyback and paid out US$ 1.2 billion to shareholders. The Board of Directors approved the construction of the Syrymbet tin-copper project, in which Solidcore holds a 55% interest. The start-up is scheduled for H2 2029. The mine is expected to produce approximately 6 Kt of tin and 4 Kt of copper per year on average over its 10-year mine life. Please see the recent announcement for more details: https://www.solidcore-resources.com/en/investors-and-media/news/press-releases/29-10-2026/. The Company reiterates its full-year 2026 guidance: production of c. 540 GE Koz, TCC and AISC within the ranges of US$ 1,350-1,550/GE oz and US$ 1,850-2,050/GE oz, respectively and CAPEX guidance of US$ 510 million.

It will be included in total production upon shipment to off-taker or Dore production under the tolling contract at third-party POX. Quarterly production at Kyzyl increased by 21% y-o-y to 104 Koz as the Company continued to reduce concentrate inventories through toll-processing at Kazakhmys and Amursk POX. For the first nine months of 2026, dore production at Kazakhmys and POX contributed 82 Koz and 108 Koz to total production, respectively. Dore production at third-party POX lowered by 28% y-o-y on the back of temporary customs-related shipment delays in July 2026 as well as higher base of Q3 2025 when processing resumed after 6-month disruption. Gold in concentrate increased by 25% reflecting a planned increase in gold grade of ore mined. Stripping volumes decreased due to the gradual scaling-down of open-pit mining operations. The Company plans to begin underground ore mining in 2030. Ore mined remained stable y-o-y in Q3 and 9M.

Does not include toll-treated ore. At Varvara, Q3 and 9M production increased by 9% and 14% y-o-y to 44 and 132 Koz, respectively, mainly due to higher grades of third-party and Komar ores at the leaching circuit. The flotation circuit recorded a decline in production, reflecting lower processing volumes attributable to the depletion of Varvara's high-copper-grade reserves within the current pit. The plant processed mainly third-party material with higher grades, which increased the average grade at the circuit. DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS At Ertis POX, significant progress has been achieved. Heavy process equipment has been delivered to the construction site, all contracts for delivery of the main process equipment have been concluded. Large-scale construction of the Hydrometallurgical Complex and infrastructure facilities has commenced: arrangement of pile fields has been completed, installation of sandwich panels on the POX building has been started. In September, the Company secured US$ 100 million from KfW IPEX-Bank in addition to the syndicate financing of US$ 600 million for the Ertis POX construction. The Syrymbet project continued to advance during Q3 2026. Basic engineering and engineering surveys have been finalised. Site preparation has been completed, and foundation works for infrastructure facilities have commenced. Tendering for the main process equipment is actively progressing. Detailed design of the processing plant and infrastructure is ongoing, and preparation of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) has commenced. The Board of Directors has made the final investment decision on the project. Construction will run until H2 2029. The project is expected to produce approximately 6 Kt of tin and 4 Kt of copper per year on average over its 10-year mine life. SUSTAINABILITY, HEALTH AND SAFETY In the reporting quarter, no fatalities were recorded among employees or contractors, and no work-related injuries were recorded among contractors. In September, seven work-related injuries were recorded among the Company’s employees: a road traffic accident occurred while Varvara employees were being transported to work. Seven Varvara employees sustained injuries; under the GRI classification, none of these are categorised as high-consequence work-related injuries. As of the reporting date, five of the Company’s employees have since returned to their duties, while two remain on medical leave – they are recovering and their health is not at risk. The Company’s contractors did not sustain any work-related injuries. A special investigation commission was created and it has been concluded that the accident was caused by human error on the part of the transport contractor’s employee as the bus driver performed an unsafe manoeuvre on the road. No violations of occupational health and safety (OHS) regulations by the affected employees were identified. Varvara staff is currently conducting additional engagement with contractors as well as unscheduled inspections and OHS training sessions. Accordingly, the Q3 and 9M TRIR was 0.74 and 0.30 respectively (9M 2025: 0). Safety remains the top priority for Solidcore as we aim to maintain zero fatalities across our operations and among on-site contractors. The Company is committed to implementing initiatives that enhance health and safety conditions and will avoid work-related incidents in the future. Starting from Q3, we have aligned the terminology used in our internal occupational health and safety (OHS) systems and public reporting with the GRI 403 standard to improve the quality of disclosure and the methodology for tracking and monitoring safety metrics. The changes are reflected in this report: LTIFR (lost-time injury frequency rate) has been updated to TRIR (total recordable work-related injuries rate), and ‘lost-time injuries’ is now referred to as ‘recordable work-related injuries’. Notwithstanding, the underlying definitions and calculation formulas remain unchanged; therefore, data from previous disclosures remain relevant and comparable with the updated figures. In August 2026, the Company’s ISS STOXX ESG Corporate Rating has been upgraded from ‘B-’ to ‘B’ while the Company has retained its ‘Prime’ status, placing it among the industry leaders worldwide. Solidcore ranked in the top decile of the Mining & Integrated Production industry, with an overall Performance Score of 59 and a ‘Very High’ transparency level. ‘Prime’ status is granted to companies whose ESG performance meets or exceeds a sector-specific threshold. For industries such as mining, ISS STOXX applies its highest Prime threshold. As part of voluntary afforestation initiative, the Company is completing its 2026 afforestation programme, covering 111 hectares; the total area planted to date has reached approximately 300 hectares. In total, the project entails the establishment of 487 hectares of new forest on reserve lands near the Varvara site by 2028. The first carbon units under the project will be issued after 2030 and will be used to partially offset the hard-to-abate direct emissions from Solidcore’s operations. 30/10/2026 Dissemination of a Financial Press Release, transmitted by EQS News.The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.Media archive at www.todayir.com

Syrymbet construction approval

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 29/10/2026 / 09:30 MSK Solidcore Resources plc (“Solidcore” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has made the final investment decision on the Syrymbet tin-copper project in Kazakhstan. First production is expected in H2 2029. “The project assessment has delivered strong results while preserving substantial future optionality. Solidcore made the commitment to a strategic metal with strong long-term demand driven by the energy transition with limited global supply opportunities”, said Vitaly Nesis, CEO of Solidcore Resources plc. “With site preparation complete and basic engineering finalised, the project is ready for full-scale construction. Together with our partner, Lancaster Group, we look forward to bringing Syrymbet into production in H2 2029 and becoming a major player in the global tin market.” HIGHLIGHTS The figures below represent 100% of Syrymbet. Solidcore’s share in the project is 55%. The current mine plan is based solely on the Central open pit with Ore Reserves in accordance with the JORC Code in 2026 of 24.2 Mt of primary ore with an average grade of 0.42% Sn and 0.15% Cu, containing 101 Kt of tin and 36 Kt of copper. According to the current plan, Syrymbet will be developed as a low-risk, conventional open-pit operation with a 10-year mine life (2029-2038), stripping ratio of 6.3 t/t and a 2.5 Mtpa processing plant combining gravity separation of tin and copper flotation. The facility will produce tin concentrate grading approximately 50% Sn and copper concentrate grading approximately 20% Cu for direct sale to third-party offtakers. Tin recovery to concentrate is expected to be 53-55% and copper recovery – 79%. Life-of-mine production is estimated at 53 Kt of tin and 29 Kt of copper in concentrate, or approximately 6 Kt of tin and 4 Kt of copper per year, at life-of-mine average TCC of US$ 20,600/t and AISC of US$ 22,200/t of tin equivalent or approximately US$ 1,500 and US$ 1,600 per ounce of gold equivalent respectively. The project will deliver a strong shareholder returns with an IRR of 19% at a mid-cycle tin price of US$ 42,000/t, copper price of US$ 12,000/t and KZT/USD exchange rate of 450. The start-up project CAPEX is estimated at US$ 468 million with approximately 60% to be spent locally. Commissioning and first production are scheduled for H2 2029 and a full operational ramp-up in 2030. The project offers substantial opportunities for further value enhancement through: Exploration at the flanks: North-Eastern, South-Western and Sarybulak ore zones offer significant potential to expand the Mineral Resource base. Exploration is expected to commence in 2027, with an initial 10 km drilling programme planned for 2027–2028. Mineral Resource estimates for these areas are expected in 2029. Processing of oxidised ore: the Company is evaluating suitable processing technologies for oxidised material from the Central pit and flanks. The ore will be mined and stockpiled pending the selection of an appropriate solution, with processing potentially commencing after 2038. Potential reduction in the cut-off grade: higher assumed metal prices and/or improved metallurgical recoveries could support a lower cut-off grade, potentially expanding the Ore Reserve base and increasing plant throughput. The project will be financed through a combination of bank loans and cash contributions from Solidcore and Lancaster Group in proportion to their shareholdings. Solidcore acts as project operator and accounts for the project’s financial results using the equity method (share of profit/loss from JV) in its consolidated financial statements. Syrymbet will create over 800 permanent jobs, with priority given to qualified local residents, and more than 1,000 indirect jobs during the active phase of construction. STRATEGIC RATIONALE Syrymbet fits well with Solidcore’s strategy in the following ways: Diversification of the metal portfolio with exposure to tin and copper, metals critical for electronics and the energy transition; Robust project economics with additional upside from processing oxidised ore, higher throughput and development of the North-Eastern, South-Western and Sarybulak ore zones; Attractive tin market fundamentals create a strong case for upside, driven by a growing supply deficit and secular demand from AI, data centres, electric vehicles, and solar power; Development of in-house expertise in tin metallurgy, gravity separation and concentrate marketing; Balanced risk-sharing partnership with Lancaster Group, supported by local employment and domestic procurement, aligning the interests of the Company, the Government of Kazakhstan and local communities. PROJECT TIMELINE Solidcore envisages the following development timeline for the Syrymbet project: State expert review of project documentation for infrastructure facilities and the processing plant: Q3 2026 Start of construction of main facilities: Q3 2026 Start of open-pit mining: Q3 2027 Completion of construction and installation works for infrastructure facilities: Q1 2029 Completion of the processing plant and tailings storage facility: Q2 2029 Commissioning and first production: H2 2029 Full ramp-up: 2030 ORE RESERVE ESTIMATE The Ore Reserve estimate is reported on a 100% basis in accordance with the JORC Code (2012) and was prepared by the Company in 2026 for the Central area and primary ore only.

An AI “Traffic Router” at a Turning Point in the Era! Xunce Launches TokenRouters: Building an Enterprise AI Core Platform Centered on Dedicated Tokens as Exchange Assets

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 28/10/2026 / 17:11 UTC+8 On October 28, Xunce Technology (3317.HK) launched TokenRouters, a one-stop platform for the exchange, matching, and service of real-time AI data and specialized tokens. Unlike general-purpose tokens, TokenRouters focuses on serving as a specialized token exchange platform, connecting the intelligent needs of industries across all sectors. It forms a closed-loop service ecosystem centered on enterprise model optimization and the implementation of enterprise-level small models, helping enterprises connect, match, and exchange data, models, and intelligent assets. Enterprise AI has entered uncharted waters, and the focus of model competition has shifted from general-purpose conversational capabilities to task-specific performance. Gartner predicts that by 2027, more than half of the generative AI models used by enterprises will be industry- or function-specific models built for particular domains. While general-purpose models address the question of “whether a conversation is possible,” specialized models address “whether tasks can be accomplished”—professional scenarios such as financial analysis, contract review, and industrial operations and maintenance have become the focus of the next wave of optimization and implementation. The “fuel” driving these specialized models is precisely the specialized tokens refined from enterprises’ private data. Small models, meanwhile, offer a more cost-effective and on-premises-friendly implementation path for enterprise AI. According to NVIDIA’s estimates, running a small model with 7 billion parameters is 10 to 30 times cheaper than running models in the 70 billion to 175 billion parameter range. The combination of “small models + specialized tokens” makes on-premises deployment economically viable: data remains within the organization, responses are faster, and inference is more closely aligned with business scenarios. This is also the fundamental distinction between specialized tokens and general-purpose tokens—specialized tokens do not carry general language capabilities, but rather the specific enterprise’s data assets and business knowledge. As enterprise AI enters uncharted waters, model supply becomes increasingly tiered, and small models emerge as the primary implementation form, the bottleneck in enterprise intelligence upgrades has shifted from “whether computing power is available” to “whether the right resources are selected.” Dedicated tokens typically circulate within a single enterprise and are difficult to obtain across organizations: the quality of publicly available data varies widely, and industry-specific private data is hard to source; models lack cross-platform evaluations, so they must be tested and deployed one by one; there are still gaps in the transition from demonstration to production for vertical applications; and experience in specific scenarios is often locked within individual experts. Consequently, there is no common foundation for exchanging and matching data, models, and applications. To address these pain points, TokenRouters has built a five-in-one AI resource circulation system comprising “dataset marketplace × AI models × AI applications × scenario library × intelligent customer service.” Within this system, the dataset marketplace, AI models, and AI applications address the discovery and comparison of specialized resources: they make data comparable through content overviews, technical specifications, and scenario analyses; make models understandable through capability overviews and detailed specifications; and align applications closely with business needs through product tags and feature breakdowns; The Scenario Library and Intelligent Customer Service address scenario assessment and operational inquiries; the former transforms vague intelligent intent into actionable development goals, while the latter uses natural language question-and-answer capabilities and human fallback to streamline the consultation process. From a strategic perspective, TokenRouters is currently in the 3.0 phase of Xunce’s four-stage evolution. Previously, Xunce used TokenOS to refine enterprise private data into specialized tokens and provided end-to-end cloud services via TokenCloud, thereby completing the construction of the “data–token–intelligent agent” end-to-end infrastructure. Building on this foundation, TokenRouters facilitates cross-entity token exchange and paves the way for the private deployment of 4.0 enterprise-level small models—thereby extending Xunce’s narrative from “creating tokens for enterprises” to “enabling the circulation of specialized tokens.” For Xunce, TokenRouters signifies not only an extension of its business model but also a shift in its strategic role. The pricing model has become multi-tiered: in addition to charging based on Token call volume, it now includes fees for exchange and circulation processes, covering Token routing, pricing and matching, compliant circulation and auditing, as well as services that assist enterprises in valuing tokenized data assets and capitalizing them on their balance sheets. The essence of this upgrade is the platform’s shift from “delivering resources” to “facilitating circulation.” Xunce no longer merely delivers data and tokens to individual clients; instead, it establishes rules for cross-entity exchanges, facilitates these exchanges, and provides a foundation for compliance and pricing. Consequently, the company’s positioning has evolved from an “AI data infrastructure provider” to a “token economy infrastructure operator.” Its growth potential is no longer determined by the volume of requests from individual clients, but rather by the scale of token circulation across the entire ecosystem. 28/10/2026 Dissemination of a Financial Press Release, transmitted by EQS News.The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.Media archive at www.todayir.com

EN-【Press Release】China XLX Announces 2026 9M Results

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 26/10/2026 / 20:43 UTC+8 Press Release (For Immediate Release) China XLX Announces 9M 2026 Results Net Profit Climbed 51% YoY to RMB 1.522 Billion 9M 2026 Results Highlights: Net profit surged by 51% year-on-year to approximately RMB 1.522 billion. Net profit attributable to owners of the parent climbed by 42% year-on-year to approximately RMB 1.138 billion. Overall gross profit grew by 43% year-on-year on higher sales volumes and selling prices. The Group retained a sound financial position, with the ratio of short-term to long-term debts decreased by 8 percentage points from the beginning of the reporting period and the average borrowing interest rate fell by 0.26 percentage point year-on-year. The Group is building an integrative model with economic moats comprising “products + technology + services”, creating non-replicable core competence. (26 October 2026, Hong Kong) China XLX Fertiliser Ltd. (“China XLX” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries collectively referred to as the “Group”) (stock code: 01866.HK) announced that the Group posted revenue of approximately RMB 23.047 billion for the nine months ended 30 September 2026, up by 28% year-on-year. Its net profit for the period surged by 51% year-on-year to approximately RMB 1.522 billion; and the net profit attributable to owners of the parent climbed by 42% year-on-year to approximately RMB 1.138 billion, outstripping the full-year figure for 2025. During the reporting period, the Group achieved high-quality growth in its operating results. Driven by the dual drivers of fertiliser and chemical operations, the Group realized an increase in both the sales volume and selling price of its products with overall gross profit rose by 43% year-on-year. While the Phase II of the Jiangxi Project and the chemical new materials project came on stream as planned, the Group increased its output at lower costs and further optimized its product mix. The sales volume of high-efficiency urea for the period expanded by 31% year-on-year, leading to a 45% year-on-year growth in the overall gross profit of urea. Moreover, the Group capitalised on the opening of export window to elevate the urea export volume by nearly 100,000 tonnes from the same period last year. Meanwhile, the Group grasped the opportunities arising from rising chemical prices and leveraged its flexible production capabilities to convert surplus liquid ammonia capacity into the production of methanol. By tapping into the cost advantages inherent in its integrated coal-to-methanol production process, the Group drove the upgrading of chemical products towards high value-added products, leading to a growth in the share of differentiated products such as pharmaceutical-grade DMF and modified polyoxymethylene (POM). Benefiting from higher sales volumes and selling prices, the gross profit of chemical products for the first three quarters surged by RMB 650 million or 77% from a year ago. The Group vigorously promoted the transformation towards new marketing model and implemented the “product + service” integrated solutions to continuously sharpen its core competencies. Under the co-service model, the sales volume from its demonstration zones increased by 24% year-on-year with its benefits gradually emerged. The new marketing model is aimed to create value for farmers and to continuously enhance the Group's brand influence. It enables the Group to optimize the product structure and to expand the sales of high-efficiency fertilisers. At the same time, the Group rode on R&D innovation to push ahead with the "low cost + differentiation" strategy and promoted the transformation of R&D achievements into high value-added products. During the reporting period, revenue from urea sales grew by 40% year-on-year to approximately RMB 6.357 billion. Underpinned by the phased commissioning of the Jiangxi Project, the urea output for the period increased by 840,000 tonnes year-on-year and it paved the way for the growth in overall sales volume. Besides, the Group capitalized on the government’s relaxation of urea export quotas to further boost the exports. As a result, the urea sales volume for the period grew by 36% year-on-year. Meanwhile, driven by higher coal prices, the export growth and rapid increase in the sales volume of high value-added products, the average selling price of urea for the period increased by 3% year-on-year. In the first three quarters, revenue from compound fertiliser sales increased by 8% year-on-year to approximately RMB 5.446 billion. The sales volume in the third quarter was adversely affected due to dealers’ shift to a low-inventory strategy resulting from the increase in feedstock costs and delays in autumn fertiliser stockpiling. On the other hand, the channel coverage rate in the developed regions covered by the new marketing model exceeded 60%. Benefiting from terminal pricing power of the new model, the unit price of products was RMB 32 / tonnes higher than that of traditional channels. This, coupled with higher costs of feedstocks such as potash and phosphate fertilisers, drove the average selling price of compound fertilisers for the reporting period to increase by 4% year-on-year. During the reporting period, the Group achieved outstanding sales performance of chemical products. Notably, revenue from liquid ammonia sales surged by nearly 1.8 times year-on-year to approximately RMB 2.247 billion; revenue from DMF sales grew by 30% year-on-year to approximately RMB 1.04 billion; revenue from POM sales grew by 24% year-on-year to approximately RMB 412 million; and revenue from melamine sales grew by 15% year-on-year to approximately RMB 631 million. The Group retained a sound financial position. As of 30 September, the Group’s total assets reached RMB 46 billion, representing a 19% increase from the beginning of the reporting period. With the ongoing optimization of the debt structure, the ratio of short-term to long-term debts decreased by 8 percentage points to 18% from the beginning of the reporting period. Although the debt-to-asset ratio rose by 3.5 percentage points from the beginning of the reporting period, the average borrowing interest rate fell by 0.26 percentage point year-on-year, resulting in a 0.3% year-on-year reduction in the ratio of three expenses. When major projects currently under construction come into operation, the Group’s total debt is expected to gradually decline from 2027 onwards. Besides, the operational value of sunk capital will be progressively unleashed, resulting in continuous improvements in both of cash flow and debt-to-asset ratio. Looking ahead to the future, Mr. Liu Xingxu, Chairman of China XLX, noted that the national export quota management mechanism for fertilisers will remain in place in the fourth quarter. The orderly allocation of export quotas in phases can effectively mitigate the supply pressure in domestic urea market. Meanwhile, the commencement of winter stockpiling and commercial reserve procurement will lend temporary support for fertiliser demand. Leading market players are poised to expand their market shares. In the medium to long term, the ongoing implementation of national initiatives to safeguard food security, including the development of high-standard farmland and black soil conservation, will bolster the rigid demand for fertilisers. The Group will continue to boost investments in the R&D of differentiated products with a primary focus on high-efficiency fertilisers. It will strive hard to translate technological innovations into tangible farmland yield growth. With the support of smart irrigation systems and integrated water-and-fertiliser management technology, the Group will help farmers to boost crop yields and their incomes through controlled-release and efficient use of fertilisers. At the same time, it will further enhance its product performance and prioritize the development of Heiliwang humic acid fertiliser. Boasting the features of improving soil quality and enhancing fertilisation efficiency, this product aligns with the national policy direction for the development of green agriculture. The Group will leverage high-quality products to extend its value chain. Through the provision of agrochemical services such as on-site guidance at fields and customized cultivation solutions, it is building an integrative business model with economic moats comprising “products + technology + services”, thereby creating non-replicable core competence. Regarding project development, the urea facility under the chemical new materials project at the Xinxiang Base was successfully put into operation in September 2026. This project is expected to contribute approximately RMB 200 million in profit to the Group this year. Meanwhile, the Zhundong Base in Xinjiang is slated for commissioning in the fourth quarter of this year. In view of its cost advantages and operational efficiency, it will drive the Group’s earnings growth next year. The flagship project at the Guangxi Base is advancing as planned and is targeted for completion and commissioning in the third quarter of 2027. This project will help address the capacity shortfall for modern nitrogen fertilisers in Guangdong and Guangxi. Furthermore, with easy access to the Pinglu Canal, it will facilitate the Group’s expansion into the Southeast Asian market due to faster transit time and lower costs. ~ END ~ About China XLX Fertiliser Ltd.

Xunce TokenOS Expands Deep into Germany, the Heart of Europe, Marking Further Progress in Its Internationalization Layout

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 26/10/2026 / 16:14 UTC+8 Recently, Berlin Global Dialogue (BGD) 2026 and the Invest in Germany Summit were held concurrently in Berlin, Germany. Xunce (3317.HK) was invited to attend as a strategic partner. The company’s management and representatives participated in relevant events and held in-depth exchanges with stakeholders from all sectors on topics including AI data infrastructure and China-Europe data cooperation. Seizing this opportunity, the company’s new-generation product TokenOS is accelerating its entry into the European market, marking a solid step forward in its internationalization strategy. TokenOS Business Accelerates Overseas Expansion: From Product Export to Joint Co-creation At BGD 2026, leading global industrial giants including Mercedes-Benz, Airbus, Bayer and Siemens Healthineers gathered at the event. Xunce is conducting in-depth negotiations with multiple leading European enterprises covering core scenarios such as automotive, high-end manufacturing and energy, exploring potential cooperation space for TokenOS and steadily building its global business layout. According to financial report data, the company’s overseas business revenue reached 11.86 million yuan in the first half of this year, a substantial year-on-year increase of 264%. The accelerated rollout of TokenOS in Europe is the core highlight of Xunce’s Berlin visit. As a flagship product launched by the company in the first half of this year, TokenOS is dedicated to converting enterprise multi-source heterogeneous data into standardized, measurable and priceable scenario-based Tokens in real time. It focuses on addressing the core bottleneck of insufficient high-quality scenario data supply in enterprise AI implementation, enabling large-scale industrial production of scenario-specific Tokens. Prior to this, Xunce has launched a "scenario Token factory" for the European market to promote the localized deployment of TokenOS in Europe. It deeply integrates the engineering capabilities of China’s AI data infrastructure with Europe’s local industry experience, compliance governance and delivery capabilities, to jointly explore AI transformation solutions that comply with EU data sovereignty requirements. Deep Dive into the Data Layer: Solving Enterprise AI Implementation Pain Points with Specialized Tokens Recently, Jensen Huang stated at the Invest in Germany Summit that in the future, every company will have two factories: one is a real physical factory, and the other is a digital factory — the digital factory will be so realistic that it is nearly indistinguishable from reality. He also noted that data is part of a country’s natural resources, recording its culture, values, knowledge and experience; Germany should introduce the world’s best AI technology to develop its own data and turn data into its own intelligence. The next wave of AI will be "Physical AI", where AI will deeply integrate with robotics, manufacturing, automotive and heavy industries, serving to enhance rather than replace Germany’s existing craftsmanship and industry expertise. Xunce clearly pointed out at the forum that the three pillars of the AI industry are large models, computing power and data. Through the full-link product and service system of "computing power + data + Token + model + application", the company provides enterprise-level customers with integrated AI deployment solutions and continuously creates strategic and business value. Currently, the company serves 11 high-barrier, high-value industries including finance, telecommunications, energy, high-end manufacturing, healthcare, robotics and intelligent vehicles, with over 400 AI data infrastructure product modules and a customer retention rate of over 90%. In the context of "Physical AI", the key to enterprise AI implementation is not simply stacking GPUs, but prioritizing data governance, standardization and modeling. As a critical hub connecting models with real business operations, TokenOS is driving the delivery model of enterprise services in the AI era to shift from standardized solution output to in-depth co-construction with customers. China-Europe AI Collaboration: Compliance as the Bottom Line, Complementarity as the Foundation China and Europe are highly complementary in AI cooperation. China has rich application scenarios, a complete industrial system and large-scale implementation advantages, while Europe has profound accumulation in basic research, technical compliance, regulatory governance and industry standards. The two sides can form deep complementarity of "scale + governance". Xunce stated that with the deepening of AI applications, high-quality, compliant and traceable data is becoming a core asset, which also brings broad development space for data infrastructure enterprises. "Data sovereignty does not necessarily equal data closure." TokenOS can be deployed on customer-managed clouds and local systems, ensuring that raw data remains in the customer’s environment while supporting secure Token invocation, truly realizing the vision of "data stays locally while value can flow". This technical path not only accommodates data sovereignty requirements, but also provides a brand-new implementation paradigm for cross-border AI applications. In addition, Xunce has reached strategic cooperation with the Shenzhen Data Exchange and the Beijing International Big Data Exchange, forming a north-south coordinated layout in the data factor market, and providing solid support for the standardized application of data tokenization and related technologies. Currently, over 90% of Xunce’s revenue comes from China’s domestic market, while the company continues to increase investment in the European and Southeast Asian markets. Going forward, Xunce will take the European deployment of TokenOS as a new starting point, accelerate the formation of replicable global implementation samples in scenarios such as automotive, aviation, manufacturing and energy, and strive to deliver premium solutions to global customers. With compliance as the bottom line and local partners as the fulcrum, it will push China-Europe sci-tech cooperation to a new height of joint innovation and scenario co-creation. 26/10/2026 Dissemination of a Financial Press Release, transmitted by EQS News.The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.Media archive at www.todayir.com

Newborn Town Partners with Viggle to Launch AI-Native Game: Enhancing Social Gaming Experiences with Next-Generation Physics-Native World Model

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 26/10/2026 / 10:44 UTC+8 Recently, Newborn Town’s game-oriented social platform TopTop has launched “Slap Showdown”, an AI-powered 3D interactive mini-game developed in collaboration with Viggle, a company specializing in physics-native world models. The launch brings world model technology into social gaming, offering users a more personalized and engaging interactive experience. Developed by TopTop and powered by Viggle’s self-developed Joint Space-Time (JST) world model, “Slap Showdown” lets users turn uploaded photos into customized 3D characters and take them straight into the game. Launched in September, “Slap Showdown” has gained particular traction in Japan, among Spanish-speaking users in North America, and across the Middle East. It is now available in multiple countries and regions worldwide. From Better Gameplay to a Richer Ecosystem: How World Models Could Redefine Social Gaming on TopTop In terms of gameplay, Slap Showdown combines AI-generated 3D characters with multiplayer interaction. Players can simply upload a photo from their phone and generate a personalized 3D character in around 30 seconds, whether it’s an anime protagonist, a cyberpunk cyborg, or a LEGO minifigure. They can then bring their custom characters into the game and face off against other players in fun, interactive battles. As players use controls such as press-and-hold, tap, and drag, the 3D characters respond with realistic, physics-based movements. This takes AI-generated characters beyond visual customization, integrating them directly into the gameplay experience. According to TopTop's operations team, “Slap Showdown” has attracted a growing base of highly engaged, high-spending-potential players in its first month since launch. The game has recorded a 97% match completion rate, while its game-start rate has also exceeded the platform-wide average. The depth of user engagement is further illustrated by individual player activity. One player in Japan completed 1,041 matches over 22 days, reaching a daily peak of 151 matches and averaging one match every 9.5 minutes. Another particularly avid player in Eastern Europe completed 735 matches in just 11 days, averaging 66.8 matches per day and peaking at 126 matches in a single day. For a UGC-driven social gaming platform such as TopTop, mini-games serve as entry points and traffic drivers, while social features underpin retention and monetization. Personalized 3D avatars add another dimension to that experience. Beyond their visual appeal, they give users new ways to express themselves, interact with friends and share memorable moments. In turn, richer gameplay and more meaningful social interactions can help improve retention, attract new users and strengthen engagement across the platform. Slap Showdown marks a successful step in TopTop’s efforts to deepen its application of AI technology, as well as a starting point for using world models to enhance gaming and social experiences. TopTop's operations team said future game releases could make greater use of AI-powered 3D generation, extending beyond avatars to include customized environments. Existing games could also be revitalized by the introduction of new gameplay features, potentially driving stronger retention and user acquisition. Beyond enriching gameplay, world model capabilities could also reshape social interaction itself, enabling more immersive, face-to-face experiences in virtual spaces. "We're constantly exploring how AI can transform gaming and social interaction, while bringing new energy and capabilities to our UGC ecosystem," TopTop's operations team said. Viggle Unveils Physics-Native Model JST-2, Setting Its Sights on Becoming the Infrastructure Layer for Physical AI The world model technology powering “Slap Showdown” is provided by Viggle. Founded in 2022, Viggle has focused on developing physics-native world foundation models. Its self-developed JST model can generate 3D characters, motion and environments directly, providing a foundation for gaming and a growing range of AI applications. Viggle previously attracted widespread attention with Meme Maker, its AI-powered video creation product. The tool enables users to animate static characters and generate videos by applying specified movements, making AI character animation and video creation more accessible. In August 2024, Viggle raised USD 19 million in a Series A funding round led by Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z). However, video creation was an early application of this technology. Viggle's longer-term ambition is to make JST a foundational technology for AI-powered experiences across gaming, social platforms and other applications. Viggle is now further expanding its technological boundaries. On 19 October, Viggle launched JST-2 in full, likening its significance for world models to GPT-2’s role in the evolution of language models. Unlike many world models that infer physical structure indirectly from pixels, JST-2 is built around a physics-native architecture designed to learn the structure and dynamics of the 3D world directly. Its underlying representation consists of units resembling digital "atoms." Each has a defined position in three-dimensional space, along with physical properties such as material, color and mass, and information describing how it moves and responds to forces. This allows the model to do more than generate convincing images. It can represent and generate 3D characters, motion and scenes with an underlying understanding of their physical properties. To support this approach, Viggle has developed an integrated technology stack spanning tokenization, model architecture, data engine, pre-training and post-training. After four years of research and development, JST-2 can generate characters, motion and scenes within a single unified architecture. Compared with other approaches, JST-2 also demonstrates cost efficiency. JST-2 can generate a 3D scene in seconds, at an inference cost of less than one US cent. Once created, the content can be rendered locally without repeatedly running the foundation model to generate each frame. It is noteworthy that world model technology remains at an early stage, but Viggle is already working toward more advanced capabilities. Its next-generation model, JST-3, is intended to become a comprehensive world simulator. Such a system could underpin future game and graphics engines, while also serving as a virtual training environment for robotics and other forms of physical AI. The longer-term goal is for JST-3 to learn the physical rules governing its simulated world directly from data, rather than relying on rules explicitly written by developers. For Newborn Town, its investment in and partnership with Viggle represents an important step in exploring how advanced AI can reshape social gaming, promoting a deep integration of AI technology with its business operations. As a leading global social entertainment company, Newborn Town has continued to deepen the use of AI across key areas in recent years, including product R&D, social recommendation systems, intelligent operations, safety and risk management, and marketing and user acquisition, supporting ongoing business growth. Meanwhile, the company also continued to invest across the AI ecosystem, backing projects in areas including world models, AI companionship, AI Agents and AI interactive gaming. These investments have further enriched its AI application ecosystem, with Viggle among the AI companies previously backed by Newborn Town. “Slap Showdown” represents an early step in bringing world models into social gaming. For Newborn Town and Viggle, the next challenge is to turn increasingly sophisticated AI capabilities into experiences that users find genuinely engaging — and compelling enough to keep coming back. *For more information about Viggle's JST-2 world model, visit https://viggle.ai/jst 26/10/2026 Dissemination of a Financial Press Release, transmitted by EQS News.The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.Media archive at www.todayir.com

Lynshaw Group Established with Focus on Five Technology Sectors

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 23/10/2026 / 17:49 UTC+8 (23 October 2026, Hong Kong) New holding group aims to connect technology and industry through investment for the long term. Technology investor Yuan Liu founded Lynshaw Group with his own capital in September 2026 as an international technology investment holding group. The group’s stated strategy combines capital management, technology investment, corporate ownership, industrial operations and international business cooperation. Yuan Liu The group’s long-term investment plans focus on five sectors: artificial intelligence (AI), semiconductors, computing infrastructure, robotics and energy. These sectors span intelligent technologies, core hardware, infrastructure and real-world applications. AI encompasses the technologies that enable intelligent systems, semiconductors provide the hardware foundation for advanced computing, and computing infrastructure supports the deployment and operation of computing resources. Robotics connects digital intelligence with the physical world, while energy underpins the digital economy and industrial systems. These fields are increasingly interconnected. AI relies on semiconductors for processing power, while computing systems depend on supporting infrastructure such as data centres. Bringing intelligent technologies into industrial settings also requires robotics, automation equipment and manufacturing systems to work together. The investment thesis therefore extends beyond technological breakthroughs to how technology enters real business activity and creates economic value, including the infrastructure and industrial capabilities that support commercialisation. Hong Kong as a Planned Strategic Hub The group’s strategic blueprint envisages Hong Kong as a centre for capital management and strategic coordination. It plans to build a regional business network linking mainland China, the United States, the United Kingdom and Singapore over time. Under the proposed regional model, Hong Kong would support capital management and corporate coordination through its international financial markets, legal framework and cross-border professional services. Mainland China offers an extensive manufacturing base and technology industry resources, while the United States is a major source of innovation in AI, semiconductors and other frontier technologies. The United Kingdom and Singapore would provide connections to European and Asia-Pacific markets, respectively. Developing this network would require organisational structures and operating capabilities suited to each market’s commercial and regulatory environment. Founder Background Lynshaw Group founder Yuan Liu’s professional background spans technology industry research and cross-border capital markets. According to his published professional biography, Liu worked in technology investment and strategic planning at Blue Canyon Holdings Pte Ltd in Singapore from 2018 to 2019, focusing on semiconductors, general-purpose computing and intelligent robotics. From 2020 to 2021, he worked at Marina Strategic Advisory Pte Ltd, a Singapore technology strategy consultancy he co-founded. From 2021 to 2024, he worked in cross-border investment and financing in Hong Kong. His broader professional experience also includes acquisitions and corporate structuring. He served as chairman of Hong Kong-listed Zhong Ju Investment Group Limited (HKEX: 1959) from March to June 2026. A Capital Model for the Long Term Founded with Liu’s own capital, Lynshaw Group is pursuing a holding-company model oriented towards long-term ownership. Such a structure can help align capital planning with the development cycles of individual businesses and support investment across multiple market cycles. Long-term ownership requires disciplined capital allocation. Technological change, market competition, operating efficiency and the cost of capital remain key determinants of long-term value in technology industries. Industry research, corporate governance and risk controls are therefore central to the development of the holding-company model. For the newly established group, the next stage of development will require a professional team, clear governance and the capabilities to operate across regions, supported by sustained, systematic research into its five target technology sectors.

WooshPay and AlphaToken, part of Yunfeng Financial Group (HKEX: 0376), sign strategic partnership agreement to advance AI payment technology and agentic payments

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 22/10/2026 / 17:07 UTC+8 HONG KONG, 22 October 2026 — WooshPay, a global cross-border payments company, has signed a strategic partnership agreement with AlphaToken (AlphaToken Technology (HK) Limited), the digital finance infrastructure platform of Yunfeng Financial Group (HKEX: 0376). In line with applicable regulatory requirements, the two companies will combine WooshPay’s technical expertise in global payment networks, payment systems and AI payment applications with AlphaToken’s capabilities in AI, blockchain, digital asset account management, and clearing and settlement infrastructure. They will establish a long-term technology partnership to jointly develop and test solutions for agentic payments, AI-driven risk management, smart payment routing and new digital payment infrastructure, bringing AI into real-world payment use cases. 1. Industry background As Google, Visa and others introduce protocols for agentic payments, AI agents are moving beyond giving information and recommendations to comparing options, placing orders and making payments on behalf of users. Yet today’s payment systems assume a human is in control. To scale agentic payments, the industry faces three main challenges. The first is identity and authorisation: payment systems need to know whom an agent is acting for, what it is allowed to buy and how much it can spend. The second is traceability: user intent, the scope of authorisation and the final outcome must be fully recorded to support reconciliation and dispute resolution. The third is risk control: fraud and unauthorised transactions must be prevented while agents act automatically. Through this partnership, the two companies aim to develop a trusted and controllable model for agentic payments. 2. Areas of cooperation The two companies will work together with a clear division of roles and responsibilities, focusing on the following areas: •Agentic payments (priority area): Building on the WooshPay Agentic Payment Solution, which WooshPay has already launched, the two companies will jointly develop and test key technologies for agentic payments, including identity verification, authorisation management, transaction execution and end-to-end tracking. The aim is to ensure that agent-initiated purchases are completed with clear authorisation, controlled budgets and full traceability. On this basis, the two companies will help AI agents evolve from supporting decisions to carrying out payment tasks autonomously. •Risk management and fraud prevention: The two companies will explore deeper use of AI in cross-border payment risk management, working together on key capabilities such as real-time transaction risk detection, anomalous behaviour detection, fraud identification and dynamic risk assessment. They will study how AI can make risk detection more accurate and timely, keeping transactions secure and compliant while lowering the cost of payment risk management. •Smart payment routing: The two companies will explore ways to optimise cross-border payment routing decisions. Taking into account each payment channel’s success rate, processing cost, settlement time and risk, they will develop technical solutions to select and optimise payment routes dynamically, improving success rates, the efficiency of fund flows and cost competitiveness in cross-border payments. “Yunfeng Financial’s investment in WooshPay, and AlphaToken’s strategic partnership with the company, reflect our confidence in WooshPay’s strong payment technology and its use cases in agentic payments,” said Geoff Jiang, President of Yunfeng Financial and Founder of AlphaToken. “AlphaToken continues to invest in research and development for digital finance infrastructure. Through this close technical cooperation, we hope to combine AI innovation with real-world payment use cases and jointly advance next-generation intelligent payment infrastructure.” “Today’s payment systems were built for people, but AI agents are already starting to place orders and pay on their users’ behalf,” said Ma Zhiguo, Founder and CEO of WooshPay. “We are delighted to partner with AlphaToken to help bring agentic payments into use, with clear authorisation and controlled risk, and to advance the use of AI in payments and financial services.” About WooshPay WooshPay is payment infrastructure for cross-border businesses and AI companies worldwide. It offers cross-border collections, multi-currency settlement and subscription billing, and has launched the WooshPay Agentic Payment Solution. WooshPay holds payment licences and registrations in the UK, Hong Kong and the US. It operates in markets across the UK, Europe, North America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America, with a payment network covering 195 countries and regions, and serves more than 10,000 businesses. Founded less than five years ago, WooshPay has completed three funding rounds since its seed round in 2021, raising US$30 million in total. Its investors include HongShan Seed Fund, Shunwei Capital, Yunfeng Financial and Zhou Yahui, founder of Kunlun Tech (SZSE: 300418). Zhou Yahui led the acquisition of Opera and drove the creation of OPay, the African mobile payments platform.

Felix Cheung of Bairong-W (06608.HK) Addresses First Seafront Fund Strategy Summit: AI Roll-up Reshapes Industries as AICC Scaling Accelerates

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 22/10/2026 / 10:13 UTC+8 Abstract: In his keynote speech, Felix Cheung systematically outlined the critical path for AI scaling from foundational models to enterprise-grade AI agents. He noted that AI had evolved beyond an assistant tool to a workforce component (AI agents). Enterprises are shifting from purchasing software to buying measurable outcomes, with AI spend expanding from IT budgets into operational and workforce cost pools. He argued that commercially viable models of the future would carry vertical-domain features, creating a three-tier structure comprising general foundational models, vertical foundational models and enterprise-grade AI agents. The integrated stack of vertical models plus enterprise-grade AI agents holds the key to large-scale AI deployment, and AICC (AI Contact Centre) serves as a China-based real-world example. The 2026 Annual Investment Strategy Summit hosted by Qianhai First Seafront Fund was held in October 2026 under the theme of Pursue Quality Through Innovation, Forge Ahead Amid Shifts. This flagship annual summit, highly influential in China’s capital market, brought together top specialists and leading institutional investors from home and abroad for in-depth discussions on investment opportunities amid macro trends, industrial transformation and AI development, drawing widespread market attention. Felix Cheung, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Bairong-W (06608.HK, “Bairong”), delivered a keynote address via video titled From Foundational Models to Enterprise-Grade AI Agents: The Critical Path to Scaling AI Deployment – AI Roll-up Ecosystem Practices. Notably, Bairong was invited to present at Qianhai First Seafront Fund’s annual strategy summits across Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen alike, testament to Bairong’s deep expertise in industrial AI rollout and strong recognition from capital markets. (Mr. Felix Cheung, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Bairong, delivered the keynote address via video at the summit.) Core Insight: AI Is Advancing From Analytical Capability to Actionable Execution Cheung observed that AI’s functional frontier keeps expanding: from reasoning and multimodal capabilities to sophisticated tool calling and long-sequence workflow execution. Historically, organisations deployed AI primarily for data analytics, content generation and decision support. Today, businesses and individuals are experimenting with AI to take ownership of specific tasks, interact with live systems and deliver business outcomes. “AI has transitioned from an assistant tool into a workforce component via agents.” This paradigm shift is reshaping corporate procurement: buying software is giving way to buying outcomes. Corporate AI expenditure now stretches beyond the IT budget into operations and human-resource cost buckets. He further clarified the boundaries of key concepts: AI is much more than foundational models; generative AI and discriminative AI together form a broader AI landscape. Nor are foundational models equivalent to agents. Enterprise-grade AI agents depend on supporting systems for perception, memory and execution. Model ownership alone does not translate into deployable enterprise-grade AI agents – “last mile” execution capability makes all the difference. AI Roll-up: A New Organisational Model for Industrial Transformation A key focus of Cheung’s keynote was AI Roll-up, a new paradigm for industrial organisation. He outlined its three-stage evolution: conventional roll-up strategies prioritised M&A consolidation and scale gains; AI Roll-up pairs acquisition integration with AI-redefined delivery. The broader definition of AI Roll-up is not confined to M&A. Its core lies in AI-driven delivery transformation. He cited North American practices: acquirers refactor the technology stack of portfolio assets with AI engineering to revamp live workflows and lift productivity. The Chinese market follows a different, often organic route: clients embed AI natively, or integrate AI post-investment or acquisition. “The two approaches share one core principle: extending AI into live workflows, client relationships and service delivery,” Cheung emphasized. “AI does not replace skilled professionals. Instead, it reallocates specialists toward judgement, relationship management and high-value advisory activities.” Drawing on the rise of vertical-focused players such as Anthropic, he set out a thesis: commercially viable models of the future would feature vertical-domain specialisation. The ecosystem would settle into three layers: general foundational models, vertical foundational models and enterprise-grade AI agents (“silicon-based workers”). Enterprises running integrated vertical-model-and-agent stacks are better positioned to build self-reinforcing loops: live business deployment generates fresh data, which feeds back into model refinement, enabling continuous optimisation. AICC Deployment Case: Bairong’s China Example of AI Roll-up Bairong’s AICC use cases feature broad applicability, quantifiable value and closed-loop task flows, making them a natural fit for outcome-based pricing. Next-generation AICC systems are evolving from simple outbound calls to sophisticated inbound calls. They run on a multimodal voice foundation model focused on real-time voice interaction, a specific foundation LLM focused on intent recognition and proactive guidance and enterprise-grade AI agents, moving beyond natural dialogue to completing production tasks aligned with business workflows. Against this backdrop, Bairong centres its efforts on AICC. By deploying vertical models integrated with enterprise-grade AI agents, Bairong supplies “silicon-based workforce” to reshape conventional labour-intensive service models. It has built three proprietary domain-specific foundational models: BR-Voice – multimodal voice model, BR-LLM-Proactive – proactive conversation model , and BR-Vision-Doc – document understanding model . A flywheel built on live business data drives continuous model refinement. Validated positive user feedback gathered in production feeds into evaluation metrics and reward signals for reinforcement learning. On the commercial side, Bairong adopts an RaaS (Results-as-a-Service) model. Pricing structures are tied to successfully completed workloads, the scale of deployed agents (silicon-based workforce), or revenue share from business conversions driven by agents. “Outcome-based pricing is more than selling an AI tool. It leverages agents to assume defined tasks and deliver business results. This is how the tech-reconfiguration path of AI Roll-up works commercially,” Cheung explained. The same underlying speech model stack also boosts internal corporate productivity. Bairong showcased its Bairong Baixiao product, an AI multi-role collaboration platform for sales teams. It connects sales, pre-sales, product and delivery roles across the full lifecycle: requirements gathering, proposal, commercial terms, POC and delivery, ensuring frontline insights flow directly to decision-makers. Closing: Four Key Takeaways Cheung closed his speech with four key conclusions: 1. AI agents embed AI within production systems. Capability boundaries expand and purchasing patterns shift, bringing AI spend into workforce cost pools. 2. AI Roll-up represents a new industrial organisation paradigm. The North American model pairs capital control with AI engineering overhauls, while the Chinese model combines M&A integration with AI transformation plus organic agent deployment on the client side. 3. General foundational models will not dominate every use case. Anthropic’s success in specialised vertical models demonstrates the trend toward industrial specialisation and segmentation. 4. Integrated stacks offer a viable route for enterprises to scale AI. Bairong’s AICC business rollouts have produced early validation for the combination of vertical models and enterprise-grade AI agents. As a state-of-the-art (SOTA) AI player specialising in AICC, Bairong centres its offering on proprietary vertical speech foundational models and enterprise-grade AI agents delivery capabilities. It is charting a China-native path for scalable AI deployment amid the AI Roll-up wave. 22/10/2026 Dissemination of a Financial Press Release, transmitted by EQS News.The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.Media archive at www.todayir.com

MG Ship Carrier Reliability Index Empowers Shippers to Choose Smarter, Ship Safer

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 20/10/2026 / 10:00 UTC+8 New monthly index, powered by MG Ship's predictive logistics model, helps shippers and retailers assess carrier risk across Asia's inbound and outbound trade lanes before booking, reduce delays, and build resilience ahead of e-commerce peak season. HONG KONG, October 20, 2026 — MG Ship today launched the MGS Carrier Reliability Index (MGS CRI), a new decision-intelligence tool that helps shippers and retailers choose smarter, ship safer, and reduce risk before goods leave the warehouse. The inaugural index debuts with September 2026 results and will be updated monthly for all registered MG Ship users. Built on MG Ship's predictive logistics model, the index turns carrier performance data into forward-looking guidance. Instead of relying solely on freight rates or retrospective scorecards, shippers can assess reliability, anticipate disruption, and allocate volume to the carriers and routes most likely to protect delivery promises. The first edition is based on September 2026 results, establishing a baseline across key inbound and outbound Asian trade lanes. Monthly updates will be available to all registered MG Ship users, enabling businesses to track changes in carrier performance and respond quickly as capacity, weather, congestion, and demand conditions evolve. "MGS CRI" evaluates carriers using operational indicators that directly affect shipment outcomes, including: - On-time delivery performance - Traceability coverage - Exception & disruption rates - Transit-time consistency "Choosing a carrier should not be a gamble," said Suki Cheung, CEO of MG Ship. "MGS Carrier Reliability Index gives shippers a clear, data-driven view of which carriers are likely to perform on Asia's inbound and outbound lanes, while our predictive model helps them act before delays become customer complaints. This is how businesses build resilience before peak season, not after disruption. I have personally spent 25 years firefighting across 24/7 time zones. Too often, teams discover a problem only when a shipment is delayed, a customer is chasing an update, or expedited freight has become unavoidable. The industry must move from reacting to exceptions to preventing them. "By making reliability measurable before booking, the index helps shippers reduce late deliveries, protect service-level commitments, lower expedited-freight costs, and minimize customer complaints during e-commerce peak season," Ms. Cheung added. "For companies sourcing from or selling into Asia, this is especially critical: Asia is the starting point for many global supply chains, and early visibility into carrier performance can protect delivery promises across the entire downstream network." The index is powered by MG Ship's predictive logistics model, which combines real-time shipment visibility, historical carrier performance, weather, congestion, and trade-lane risk signals to forecast what is likely to happen next. The platform is designed to move logistics teams beyond asking "Where is my shipment?" toward answering "What is likely to happen next, and what should we do now?" Key predictive capabilities include: - Automated pre-alerts: The platform flags port congestion, adverse weather, and carrier delays early, giving teams time to reroute cargo, adjust schedules, and reschedule dock appointments. - Route and carrier optimization: AI evaluates alternative routes and carriers using live conditions, historical performance, cost, and risk signals—supporting better allocation decisions before booking. - Risk intelligence embedded in workflows: Geopolitical developments, trade-lane disruption, tariff changes, regulatory updates, and medium- to long-range weather forecasts are delivered directly into operational decision-making. Together, MGS CRI and MG Ship's predictive model enable shippers and retailers to: - Choose smarter: Compare carriers based on likely real-world performance across inbound and outbound Asian lanes, not price alone. - Act earlier: Detect potential delays up to 14 days in advance and activate alternatives. - Control costs: Avoid emergency airfreight upgrades, penalty costs, and operational firefighting. Peak season places simultaneous pressure on carrier capacity, fulfilment networks, warehouse operations, and customer-service teams. Weather events, congestion, capacity limits, and demand surges can quickly create bottlenecks across air, ocean, and land transport—particularly across Asia's high-volume export gateways and inbound consumer markets. MG Ship's approach helps businesses prepare by combining monthly carrier reliability intelligence with predictive routing, proactive exception alerts, and a connected view of global logistics operations. The launch is supported by MG Ship's expanded platform of 2,500 integrations across carriers, freight forwarders, warehouse systems, ports, customs, and IoT sources. This connected foundation unifies ocean, air, road, rail, and parcel tracking across stores, distribution centers, direct-to-consumer channels, and buy-online-pickup-in-store operations. The result is a more complete, real-time view of shipments and carrier performance, giving the predictive model and reliability index the data needed to support faster, more confident decisions. "MGS Carrier Reliability Index," predictive logistics capabilities, and the expanded integration network are now available to MG Ship customers worldwide. The first report is based on September 2026 results across inbound and outbound Asian trade lanes, with monthly updates available to all registered MG Ship users.

AI Cloud Drives an Earnings Step Change; BOCI Initiates Envision Greenwise (01783) at BUY

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 16/10/2026 / 11:15 UTC+8 Zhitong Finance App has learned that BOCI Securities has published an initiation report on Envision Greenwise (01783), assigning a BUY rating and a target price of HK$6.90. The report values the company on 20x FY2029E EPS (EPS of approximately HK$0.34) and believes AI Cloud will become the company's principal earnings growth engine, transforming its earnings mix. AI Cloud Becomes the Core Earnings Engine The report notes that in June 2026 the company announced the acquisition of interests in YV CLOUD and Shanghai Yovole Cloud Computing for a base consideration of HK$2.2bn, entering cloud computing and AI infrastructure services. It then advanced purchases of high-performance servers for its AI Cloud business, kicking off the transformation into a compliant AI computing platform. Scarcity of computing capacity is the core of the industry's thesis. Against the backdrop of US export controls, the company has gained access to scarce, compliant NVIDIA server procurement channels for China through the NVIDIA Cloud Partner (NCP) credentials held by Shanghai Yovole. According to BOCI's channel research, the company had secured an initial allocation of over 500 high-performance eight-GPU servers, equivalent to more than 4,000 GPUs, while customer orders substantially exceed the company's existing GPU capacity. Domestic high-end computing rents remain firm. Mysteel data show that H100 on-demand rents in the Chengdu–Chongqing region reached RMB12.90 per GPU-hour, up approximately 19.1% from the preceding rents. Overseas, Nebius raised its H200 on-demand rate by 20%, to US$5.40 per GPU-hour, while total contract value signed in the quarter increased almost fourfold sequentially. Rising Rents and Locked-In Long-Term Contracts Support a Roughly 3.2-Year Payback per Server On the business model, the company has signed five-year GPU leasing contracts with leading CSP and LLM customers, with approximately 12 months of rent prepaid. Assuming a purchase cost of RMB3.5m per eight-GPU server and monthly rent of RMB100,000, simple payback at full utilisation is approximately 3.2 years, and financial leverage could further shorten the payback on equity invested. Large-model developer MiniMax recently participated in the company's share placement and convertible bond subscription, which the report interprets as recognition of, and closer alignment with, the company's NCP-related procurement capabilities; cooperation could extend to resource planning and cluster deployment. On forecasts, BOCI expects FY2027–FY2029 revenue of HK$3,849m, HK$6,854m and HK$10,490m, a three-year revenue CAGR of approximately 62%, with attributable net profit of HK$216m, HK$762m and HK$1,407m. The AI Cloud server fleet expands from 531 to 4,031 units, with FY2029 AI Cloud revenue of HK$5,084.6m contributing 76.5% of group gross profit and lifting the group gross margin from 8.0% in FY2026 to 21.5%. AI Cloud will become the largest source of both revenue and gross profit. Battery Circularity and AI Infra Recycle Broaden the Earnings Base The report also notes that Hong Kong's first EV battery treatment facility, operated by the company, opened in July 2026, with the Hong Kong government projecting local retired battery volumes to rise from approximately 1,300 tonnes in 2026 to 6,700 tonnes in 2030. Battery Circularity revenue is forecast at HK$760m in FY2029. AI Infra Recycle benefits from the US copper network retirement wave — AT&T plans to shut down the vast majority of its copper services by the end of 2029 — and from its exclusive trading partnership with Fortune Metal Group, with FY2029 revenue forecast at HK$4,645.5m. 16/10/2026 Dissemination of a Financial Press Release, transmitted by EQS News.The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.Media archive at www.todayir.com
