Enterprise users can directly switch models in the Doubao Work dialogue interface, no longer limited to Doubao's own models.Previously, Doubao Work supported users to access third-party models independently, and custom access required users to settle fees separately with the model vendors.

This time, third-party models are directly included in the product's model selection menu, lowering the switching and usage threshold.

According to The Block citing local media reports, South Korea's ruling party, the Democratic Party of Korea, will meet on Friday with representatives from the country's five major cryptocurrency exchanges: Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit, and Gopax, to discuss whether to postpone the cryptocurrency tax originally scheduled to take effect in January 2027.The party has proposed a bill to delay the implementation until 2029, citing insufficient infrastructure and difficulties in obtaining transaction data.

According to The Block, as the U.S. midterm elections approach, the digital asset industry may face changes in the congressional political landscape. Over the past two years, the Republican-led Congress passed the stablecoin bill GENIUS Act and advanced the broader Clarity Act; the latter passed the House in 2025 but stalled in the Senate due to controversies over stablecoin rewards and ethical issues raised by former President Trump's crypto wealth. Prediction market Kalshi shows that the probability of the Democrats winning the Senate and the House is 64% and 90%, respectively.The chair of congressional committees holds the power to set the agenda. If the Democrats regain the Senate, Elizabeth Warren will become the chair of the Senate Banking Committee. Ron Hammond, head of policy and advocacy at Wintermute, expects that she will actively use subpoena power and may focus on scrutinizing the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency's approvals of new bank charters for Ripple, Coinbase, and World Liberty Financial, which is supported by the Trump family.The election situation in Ohio is also under scrutiny, with former Senate Banking Committee chair Sherrod Brown facing pro-crypto Republican Jon Husted. Fairshake PAC has pledged $30 million to support Husted. Hammond stated that if Brown wins, he may become the chair of the Senate Agriculture Committee, which could potentially shelve related crypto legislation. In the House Financial Services Committee, regardless of whether Maxine Waters, Sean Casten, or Bill Foster leads, the Clarity Act is unlikely to advance. Lindsay Fraser, chief policy officer of the Blockchain Association, stated that while congressional control may change, the demand for clear crypto regulations will not.

TechCrunch reported that the conversational AI research and design studio Convovo, led by Cornell University professor Tapan Parikh, released a study stating that when asked to recommend only one candidate for the upcoming U.S. midterm elections, SpaceXAI's Grok 4.7 chose Republican candidates 92% of the time, while OpenAI's GPT-6.1 Sol chose Democratic candidates 97% of the time. The study covered nearly 500 campaigns, with the two models agreeing on recommendations less than 10% of the time.Researchers posed the same question to both models via API, asking for a specific candidate without allowing for avoidance or a tie. The report noted that consumer applications refused to answer. An OpenAI spokesperson stated that ChatGPT is designed to be objective by default, and political conversations should not carry any directional bias; the study tested the developer API, and the prompt explicitly requested a candidate recommendation, which cannot represent the user experience when asking questions through the chat application. SpaceXAI did not respond to requests for comment in time.The report indicated that Grok's responses often cited conservative sources as well as Ballotpedia, OpenSecrets, and VoteSmart, with 39% including Christian conservative voter guides, 23% including Turning Point Action, and 41% including X; GPT's results heavily relied on Wikipedia, the Associated Press, Axios, and Reddit. The study also mentioned that each time Grok was called via the xAI API, it included approximately 1,240 additional input tokens that the researchers did not write, could not view, or remove. Parikh subsequently disabled online search and sampled 30 campaigns, with GPT choosing Democrats in 24 cases, while Grok refused to choose in 27 cases.

This approval rating is an 8 percentage point decrease compared to the same period last year and is lower than at any time during his first term.With two weeks to go until the U.S. midterm election voting day, the Republican Party is facing a severe political situation. Polls show that as inflation pressures mount and voter dissatisfaction rises, the Democratic Party's support in the struggle for congressional control is increasing; for the first time in over a decade, the Democratic Party has gained higher voter trust than the Republican Party on economic governance issues.Overall results indicate that American voters have lost confidence in the president, are deeply concerned about Trump's decision to wage war on Iran, and are experiencing the economic impacts of war, particularly the impact of rising gasoline prices on household finances.

NetEase UU Remote has publicly released a third-party app integration protocol on GitHub, allowing developers to add a remote control entry to their iOS and Android applications. For example, to add a "Connect to Work Computer" button for an AI programming assistant, when users click it for the first time, they will be redirected to UU Remote to select and bind their Windows or Mac. After that, they can directly initiate remote control with another click, without having to repeatedly search for the device.Remote control supports full screen and picture-in-picture modes, allowing users to operate their computers through a floating window while using other apps on their phones. After leaving home, users can check if Claude Code or Codex on their home Mac has completed tasks, and they can directly invoke remote control from third-party applications. Developers can obtain connection results in windowed mode to determine if the device is offline or if the connection has failed.What has been opened is a cross-app invocation protocol, not the source code of the remote control engine, nor an interface for AI to automatically operate computers. Third-party applications still need to call the installed UU Remote client, and the actual remote control is completed by NetEase. Currently, the controlled devices only support Windows and macOS, and the mobile side must use UU Remote version 4.42.0 or later.
