Explainer: What is so special about TikTok's technology
Quick Glance: ByteDance Would Consider Closing TikTok in US Over Sale, Sources Claim
  • ByteDance would prefer to cease TikTok operations rather than engage in a sale if all legal avenues are exhausted to combat potential legislation banning the platform in US app stores, as per four sources.

  • Despite TikTok's massive popularity with over a billion users, it remains unprofitable, contributing a small fraction to ByteDance's overall revenues and daily active user base.

  • ByteDance stated on Thursday in a release on Toutiao, a media platform it possesses, that there are no intentions to sell TikTok, in response to claims from The Information about ByteDance exploring sale scenarios for TikTok's US operations excluding the recommending algorithm for user videos.

  • As of December, ByteDance's valuation stood at $268 billion when it proposed a buyback of approximately $5 billion in shares from investors.

Quick Glance: Tesla aims to potentially launch its humanoid robot Optimus next year, Elon Musk suggests

  • Not long ago, Tesla revealed “Optimus Gen 2”, a new iteration of its humanoid robot designed to assume repetitive human tasks.

  • Tesla's confidence in achieving this stems from its utilization of AI technologies in the self-driving vehicle sector and its proficiency in battery and electric motor innovations. The notion that its vehicles are essentially robots on wheels was posited.

  • Envisioning a future where households incorporate a Tesla Optimus robot that assumes various manufacturing and service roles, the CEO's perspective is clear.
