According to Beating AI Express, citing a report from The Information, Microsoft has launched a redesigned "super app" version of Copilot, along with a new product competing with Muse. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella stated that the redesign aims to "make Copilot the new operating system for work scenarios." The new Copilot comes with updated Home, Code, and Autopilot functions, and integrates the full capabilities of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint into the tool via "Office in Copilot." Earlier, on September 9, Meta released its personal agent Muse. The biggest difference between Muse and OpenClaw and Hermes is that it does not require self-deployment, nor does it involve the hassle of managing models, servers, and skills. Meta directly provides an independent cloud environment, allowing users to access it through apps, web pages, or WhatsApp.

Beating AI Express News: Max For AI stated that domestic large models are currently entering an "awkward period", with core challenges focusing on three areas: training computing power, inference resources, and commercial pricing. As domestic vendors continue to expand model scales, sizes of 5 trillion, 8 trillion, and even 10 trillion parameters are being discussed, but the growth rate of training computing power may struggle to keep pace with this expansion, making computing power a practical constraint. Alibaba previously noted at its Cloud Summit that it may train models with 5T to 10T parameters, while vendors including Kimi and GLM are also advancing large-scale model development. On the inference side, completing large model training does not equate to being able to stably serve a large user base long-term. Max For AI pointed out that some large models run fast at launch, but may later face speed limits, queuing, and tightened quotas, reflecting that inference computing remains a key bottleneck. As model scales grow, each additional user quota translates to higher actual inference costs. Additionally, rising model sizes and inference costs may force vendors to adjust pricing, as one of the key competitive advantages of domestic large models has been open-source availability and cost-effectiveness. The firm added that in the Agent era, as single tasks consume more tokens, price sensitivity will further increase, requiring domestic vendors to rebalance model performance, inference costs, and commercial pricing.

According to on-chain data, Tether has successfully frozen $218,000 worth of USDT from an address linked to the Bitget hack. This address is a "three-hop" associated address of Bitget’s initial stolen wallet, and remained inactive for over 2.5 hours after being detected, with no transfers occurring during that window. Crypto KOL tanuki42 launched a "Circle vs Tether" tracking effort at the time, asking which of the two firms would freeze the related assets first. Currently, Circle froze the relevant stolen assets 7 hours and 18 minutes ahead of Tether.
