Live translated subtitles help users talk across languages, while multi-model moderation and multimodal age-risk detection support user protection

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 13 October 2026 – Chamet, a global live streaming and video chat platform with more than 50 million downloads on Google Play worldwide, today detailed two AI systems behind its experience: real-time translation during video calls, and multi-model AI for content moderation and user protection.

Chamet’s AI translation turns spoken dialogue into translated on-screen subtitles as people speak. It supports more than 50 languages and is free for users. Subtitles appear within the call itself, so people across Asia, the Middle East, the United States and other regions can talk without language barriers.

Chamet uses AI detection and human review together to find and act on violations in real time. Two methods sit at the centre of this work.

Multimodal detection of suspected minors: Chamet has zero tolerance for underage users. Instead of relying on a single signal, its system combines profile photos, live-stream frames, video, voice, text, self-reported age and account behaviour to assess whether an account may belong to a minor. Each case receives a risk level based on model confidence. Depending on that level, the system can restrict content, limit interactions or restrict the account, and human reviewers check cases before final decisions. Accounts found to have falsified their age are permanently suspended.

Multi-model fusion for content review: Chamet uses several moderation models and third-party services, each with its own labels, confidence scales and strengths. The platform maps all of their outputs onto one shared risk scale. It then weighs the results by content type, such as images, video, audio or text, by where the content appears, such as a live stream or a profile, and by each model’s track record. The result is a single risk level and a consistent action for each piece of content, with the highest-risk cases prioritised for reviewers.

These systems work alongside real-person face verification, client- and server-side safeguards against unauthorised screen recording, in-app reporting and blocking, and an appeals process. Together they help reduce risk on the platform.

“Our commitment to ‘Make Chat Borderless’ starts with helping people understand one another,” said David Qi, Chief Marketing Officer of Chamet. “We built translation into the call and kept it free. And because these are live conversations, we use AI to help our review teams spot risk sooner and act more consistently.”

Compare operators side by side — free for renters, zero commissions

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 13 October 2026 – asia.storage today announced the launch of its self-storage comparison platform, covering 20+ Asian markets. While self-storage comparison efforts have existed in individual markets (Hong Kong, Japan), asia.storage is the first platform to aggregate and standardize facility listings across an entire continent.

Singapore’s rapid growth and dense urban environment leave individuals and businesses with chronically limited space. Self-storage has become essential infrastructure—enabling homeowners to optimize living space, helping small businesses scale without expensive warehouse leases, and supporting the broader economy by decoupling growth from real estate constraints. Yet accessing storage facilities has remained fragmented and inefficient, with no centralized way to compare options.

Student Ambassadors from Five Schools Blend TCM Culture with AI to Turn Learning into Action and Expand Health Education Horizons

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 October 2026 – Beijing Tong Ren Tang Chinese Medicine Company Limited (“Beijing Tong Ren Tang”) (3613.HK) held its “Tong Ren Care” community health seminar last Saturday (10 October 2026) under the theme “Nurturing Heart and Liver Health with Greater Care”. Through TCM health talks, free consultations and community engagement, the event raised public awareness about the importance of physical and mental well-being. As a core component of the “Tong Ren Care” campaign, the graduation ceremony for the 2nd “Hong Kong Student Ambassador Programme for Chinese Medicine and Health Care” (the “Programme”) was also held on the same day. The ceremony marked a major milestone in the student ambassadors’ month-long journey, during which they immersed themselves in TCM culture, explored innovative technology, and participated in community outreach. The event concluded with their final project presentations themed “Your Ideal Smart Chinese Medicine Centre“ officially inducting them as a new cohort of student ambassadors for Chinese medicine and health.

Launched in April this year, the 2^nd edition of the Programme featured three core pillars: the “Campus Chinese Herbal Cabinet Baizigui Programme”, “Tong Ren Smart Green Chinese Herbal Medicine Cultivation Course“ and “Elderly Care Visit Activity”. These initiatives enabled students to transition from theoretical learning to real-life application, helping them understand how TCM wisdom synergizes with modern healthy living, technological innovation, and community care. Furthermore, the program provided participating schools with extendable educational resources to sustain TCM culture education. The cohort brought together over 60 teachers and students from five participating schools including St. Francis of Assisi’s Caritas School, CCC Wanchai Church Kei To Primary School, SKH Tsing Yi Chu Yan Primary School, HKSKH Bishop Hall Secondary School and St. Joseph’s Anglo-Chinese School. From April to July, participants engaged in a rich array of activities, including classroom learning, off-campus visits, planting practice, group research and project presentations. Through these experiences, they discovered firsthand how TCM integrated into modern life, effectively bridging the gap between knowledge, application and community service.

Nurturing a New Generation for Cultural Heritage and Technological Innovation
Mr. Yan Han, Chairman of the Board and Executive Director of Beijing Tong Ren Tang Chinese Medicine Company Limited, said: “Deeply rooted in Hong Kong for nearly three decades, Beijing Tong Ren Tang has always been dedicated to serving the community. To date, we have dedicated over 10,000 hours to public welfare initiatives, including health seminars and free TCM consultations, benefiting more than five million people. This year, under the theme ‘Nurturing Heart and Liver Health with Greater Care’, we are further deepening our community outreach. Since last year, we have strategically shifted our focus towards campus-based heritage and public welfare. Over the past two years, we have invested more than 100 hours in conducting TCM knowledge and cultural preservation activities, reaching over 5,000 teachers and students and successfully nurturing 100 student ambassadors for Chinese medicine and health. Notably, this year marks the debut of the ‘Beijing Tong Ren Tang Chinese Medicine Culture Campus Exhibition Hall’ and the ‘Beijing Tong Ren Tang Campus Chinese Herbal Cabinet Baizigui’ in Hong Kong schools. These initiatives are designed to create an immersive and sustainable campus learning environment for TCM education.”

Mr. Tsang Yok-sing, Independent Non-Executive Director of Beijing Tong Ren Tang Chinese Medicine Company Limited, said: “The preservation of TCM culture requires not only safeguarding the benevolence and traditional craftsmanship passed down through generations, but also embracing new technologies and innovative mindsets that resonate with the younger generation. Today, our new cohort of student ambassadors is stepping into precisely this vital role. You are not merely passive recipients of knowledge, but thinkers, creators, and service leaders who tell the story of TCM in ways that speak to your peers. I hope all graduating student ambassadors will take what you have learned and experienced during this journey deeply to heart. As you return to your campuses and communities, continue to share the core TCM philosophy of preventive healthcare, alongside this year’s health theme, ‘Nurturing Heart and Liver Health with Greater Care,’ with your families, teachers, friends, and elderly neighbours. Keep shining as young champions of Chinese medicine culture.

From Classroom to Community:
A Learning Journey Integrating Tradition and the Future
The student journey began with school-based Chinese medicine and health courses, where they learned about Chinese herbal medicine, TCM wellness concepts, and practical applications. These foundational studies were then integrated with 5G, AIoT, and Artificial Intelligence (AI)elements, allowing students to discover firsthand how cutting-edge technology can be applied to herbal cultivation monitoring and data collection. This hands-on, balanced learning approach not only enriched their appreciation of Traditional Chinese Medicine culture, but also vastly expanded their perspectives on smart healthcare and interdisciplinary learning.

Beijing Tong Ren Tang also arranged for students to step beyond the classroom to visit its Hong Kong Production and R&D Base, Cultural Museum, and Chinese Herbal Garden, as well as theChina Mobile 5G Joint Innovation Center Hong Kong Open Lab. By closely observing the production processes of proprietary Chinese medicines, quality management protocols, and brand history, students gained rich insights into the industry. They also had the opportunity to experience the traditional pill-rolling technique, learn about fresh herb cultivation, and explore smart technology applications. Through these immersive real-life settings,students experienced firsthand how TCM culture harmoniously balances inheritance and innovation, gaining a profound understanding of how traditional wisdom thrives in modern society.

Chinese Herbal Cabinets Baizigui on Campus:
Cultivating an Immersive TCM Learning Environment
Beyond site visits and experiential learning, Beijing Tong Ren Tang introduced the”Campus Chinese Herbal Cabinet Baizigui Programme” this year to weave elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) culture even deeper into school campuses. This initiative not only extends the learning outcomes of the Student Ambassador Programme but also allows the wider student body toengage with TCM knowledge in their daily school life. By transforming a focused educational initiative into a broader campus culture, the programme effectively expands the learning atmosphere, achieving the goals of knowledge sharing and the sustainable inheritance of TCM culture.

Working in teams, student ambassadors conceptualized and delivered final project presentations themed “Your Ideal Smart Chinese Medicine Centre.” Drawing upon their insights into Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) heritage, community outreach, innovative smart technology, AI-driven cultivation, and wellness promotion, they integrated their learning to propose highly creative and scalable concepts. Through hands-on report design, content planning, and project presentations, students not only sharpened their expression, collaboration, and problem-solving skills, but also explored educational outreach and community applications. This enabled them to envision how TCM culture can be dynamically passed down in ways that resonate deeply with both the younger generation and the wider public.

A student representative from CCC Wanchai Church Kei To Primary School shared: “Our greatest takeaway from this year’s Programme was not just acquiring Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) knowledge, but discovering how health promotion can truly come alive in daily life and our communities. In our project, ‘Your Ideal Smart Chinese Medicine Centre,’ we seamlessly integrated TCM, campus-based herbal cultivation, STEM, and AI applications. By incorporating interactive experiences, health consultations, and community education, we hope to make TCM more engaging, accessible, and fun for the public. This journey made us realize that TCM is far more than textbook knowledge—it is vibrantly connected to technology, community life, and the future.”

A student representative from St. Joseph’s Anglo-Chinese School added: “From classroom learning to touring the Beijing Tong Ren Tang production base and the 5G laboratory, and finally crafting our project proposal, the entire journey has been transformative. It made us realize that TCM is not a distant or rigid traditional heritage, but dynamic, practical knowledge that can be powerfully combined with health education, innovative technology, and community service.”

Students who completed the entire Programme and were awarded certificates of appreciation at the graduation ceremony officially became the second cohort of “Hong Kong Student Ambassadors for Chinese Medicine and Health Care.” Following the ceremony, a Chinese medicine health seminar themed “Nurturing Heart and Liver Health with Greater Care” was held, sharing practical Chinese medicine wellness and first-aid knowledge with more than 200 teachers and students, senior citizens and members of the public. After the seminar, registered Chinese medicine practitioners provided free consultations and fatty liver screening services, encouraging participants to pay closer attention to their own health. During the event, the student ambassadors also took the initiative to assist the elderly waiting for the herbal sachet workshop and pill-rolling workshop, making wellness sachets together, experiencing intangible cultural heritage pharmaceutical craftsmanship, and sharing the Chinese medicine wellness knowledge they had learned in class. Through this intergenerational interaction, participants exchanged health tips while passing on the wisdom of Chinese medicine. The event enabled attendees to bring healthy living concepts home and continue the community health spirit of “Tong Ren Care.”

• The partnership combines the catalytic capital capabilities, convening platforms, and innovation networks of the Temasek Trust Collective with the World Bank Group’s global development expertise, reach, and country-level insights to help promising solutions move from pilot to scale.
• Both organisations will explore co-financing and innovative financing approaches to mobilise additional resources, initially focusing on climate and energy, water, agriculture, and health.
• A regional Knowledge Node will be established at Temasek Shophouse in Singapore to connect philanthropic partners with development expertise, networks, and opportunities, and to help promising solutions move from pilot to scale.

BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 October 2026 – Temasek Trust and the World Bank Group today signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to establish a strategic partnership aimed at harnessing the complementary strengths of philanthropy and development finance to advance shared development priorities. The MoU was signed on the sidelines of the inaugural World Bank Group Philanthropy Forum held as part of its Annual Meetings in Bangkok.

The partnership combines the Temasek Trust Collective’s catalytic capital capabilities, convening platforms, and innovation networks with the World Bank Group’s global development expertise, reach, and country-level insights. Together, they will strengthen cross-sector collaboration and help promising solutions achieve impact at scale.

Paschal Donohoe, Managing Director and Chief Knowledge Officer, World Bank Group, said: “As development needs grow and resources come under pressure, partnership matters more than ever. Philanthropic organizations bring deep expertise and innovative solutions that align closely with our core missions and jobs agenda. The Philanthropy Hub will connect ideas, resources, and partners to take those solutions to scale, and to deliver for people and communities around the world.”

Desmond Kuek, Executive Director and CEO of Temasek Trust, said: “Today’s development challenges do not fit neatly into silos – and neither can our response. Philanthropy can move early, take risks, and unlock the partnerships and capital needed to turn bold ideas into lasting impact. Working in concert with the World Bank Group and its Philanthropy Hub, we can bridge systemic gaps, scale what works, and forge new pathways for collective action.”

Under the MoU, Temasek Trust and the World Bank Group plan to collaborate across three areas:

• Convening and knowledge exchange: Bringing together governments, development institutions, businesses, philanthropies, and other partners to deepen collaboration, learning, and partnership development around shared priorities. This includes mutual participation in platforms such as the World Bank Group Philanthropy Forum and the Philanthropy Asia Summit; engaging senior leaders in high-level dialogues; and facilitating dedicated exchanges on World Bank Group missions, including Mission 300 and Water Forward, as well as approaches to co-funding, building coalitions, and developing country compacts.
• Shared knowledge and insights: Connecting philanthropic partners more effectively with World Bank Group platforms, expertise, programmatic support, and institutional knowledge. The collaboration may also facilitate country-level engagement by providing insights into local development challenges, innovations, and opportunities, together with guidance and connections to relevant stakeholders, knowledge, and partnerships. By building shared knowledge and a repository of effective solutions, the parties aim to help translate promising pilots into replicable and scalable models that can advance impact outcomes.
• Coordinating partners and capital towards shared priorities: Identifying capital mobilisation approaches to support larger, more coordinated, mission-aligned partnerships. Temasek Trust and the World Bank Group will also assess how their respective philanthropic networks and partners can be better aligned around common interests, while sharing knowledge on models for deploying and aggregating capital to support development solutions. Any specific financing arrangements or projects would be considered separately and remain subject to each party’s mandates, policies, procedures, resources, and approvals.

Initial priority areas include water, agriculture, health, climate, and energy, with potential collaboration linked to relevant World Bank Group initiatives.

Knowledge Node at Temasek Shophouse

In 2027, under the strategic partnership and as part of the Philanthropy Hub, Temasek Trust will establish a Knowledge Node at Temasek Shophouse in Singapore. It will connect philanthropic partners with a wide range of World Bank Group datasets, expertise, and relevant networks to support evidence-building and collaboration and will help promising solutions progress towards wider adoption.

Hackathon will bring together developers, students, startups and technology builders on 5 December to explore practical applications of AI

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 October 2026 – Sea and OpenAI today announced the Malaysia edition of the Sea x OpenAI Regional Codex Hackathon Series, which will take place in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday, 5 December.

Under the theme “Solving Unmet Needs with AI”, the one-day hackathon is expected to bring together 40 teams of developers, students, startups, and technology builders from across Malaysia to build with OpenAI’s Codex. Working in teams, participants will identify real-world needs and develop practical AI solutions, with guidance from experts at Sea and OpenAI.

As Malaysia works towards becoming an AI Nation by 2030, local talent capable of building and applying artificial intelligence (AI) responsibly will be an important part of translating these ambitions into practical applications. In support of this ambition, the Malaysia edition of the regional hackathon series aims to create more opportunities for local developers to experiment with emerging AI technologies, strengthen their capabilities, and exchange ideas with the broader developer community.

“AI creates the most value when it is applied with purpose and shaped by a clear understanding of how people live and work,” said David Chen, Co-Founder of Sea and Chief Product Officer at Shopee. “As the technology becomes more accessible, the focus should shift from what AI can do to how it can be used responsibly in everyday work. Combining innovation with practical judgement will be important as Malaysia’s AI ecosystem continues to develop.”

The regional series builds on Sea’s adoption of Codex across its engineering organization. It launched in Singapore in June and continued in Taiwan, with upcoming editions in Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand as it continues across Asia Pacific, before arriving in Malaysia.

“Developers play a central role in bringing AI into the real world, and Malaysia’s developer community brings a valuable understanding of local needs,” said Jon Sugihara, Head of AI Success Engineering, Asia Pacific at OpenAI. “Across the regional series, we have seen the range of ideas that can emerge when talented builders are given the tools, guidance and space to experiment. Through our partnership with Sea, we want to help participants use Codex and our latest frontier models like GPT-6 Astra to turn those ideas into practical solutions and build the skills and confidence to keep developing them beyond the hackathon.”

• First place: US$30,000 in OpenAI API credits
• Second place: US$15,000 in OpenAI API credits
• Third place: US$5,000 in OpenAI API credits

All members of the top five teams will also receive one year of ChatGPT Pro.

• As sole supplier, KONE provides all 184 units to Huanggang Port, enabling vertical flow design for 300,000 daily passengers
• One-year execution under dual Hong Kong-Shenzhen standards delivers fully integrated cross-border project execution
• Introduces 24/7 connected services to enable predictive maintenance, leveraging real-time data and AI for seamless, 24-hour port operations

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 October 2026 – The Huanggang Port—the world’s largest land port and the only 24-hour passenger link between Hong Kong and Shenzhen—is officially opened. Unlike the traditional horizontal border-crossing layouts, the port adopts an innovative vertical passenger flow design fully equipped with all 184 elevators and escalators exclusively provided by Finnish’s KONE. Spanning the 9-story complex, this people flow solution is expected to slash transit times from 30 minutes to just 5 minutes for up to 300,000 daily passengers.

184 elevators and escalators across 9 levels deliver seamless vertical passenger flow
Breaking away from traditional clearance layouts, the Huanggang Port utilizes the height of its nine-story complex to create a vertical passenger flow arrangement, with immigration facilities on different levels to free up ground-level space for public transit. To bring this seamless experience to life, KONE supplied all 184 elevators and escalators, including 102 elevators equipped with regenerative drive technology and 82 escalators. Notably, the escalators feature a maximum rise of 19.2 meters, while the elevators can accommodate loads of up to 12 tons. This solution is designed to support the port’s daily capacity of 300,000 passengers, significantly reducing walking distances and waiting times, while relieving traffic congestion especially during peak periods after large-scale events.

Digital predictive maintenance supports 24-Hour operations
As the only 24-hour land checkpoint between Hong Kong and Shenzhen, the port demands utmost equipment reliability. KONE 24/7 connected services continuously monitors all units, leveraging real-time data and AI technology to identify potential risks in advance. By shifting from reactive to predictive maintenance, this digital solution enables seamless, round-the-clock operations. During over a hundred pre-opening drills, all KONE equipment successfully passed the 20,000-person Shenzhen-Hong Kong boundary-crossing pressure test. This not only validates its ultimate stability but also underscores our strong capacity to handle massive passenger surges. Looking ahead, KONE aims to integrate elevator and escalator data with building systems to drive passenger flow analysis, operational planning, and resource optimization.

Cross-border collaboration elevates service integration across GBA
Navigating the different regulations of Hong Kong and Shenzhen within a complex cross-border environment, KONE completed the installation and commissioning of all 184 units in just one year. Reflecting on KONE’s capabilities in cross-border project execution, Mr. Eric Xie, Senior Vice President of KONE Bay Region and Managing Director of KONE Hong Kong, said, “To meet the growing infrastructure demands of the Greater Bay Area, KONE has optimized its strategic setup in the region by closely integrating our Hong Kong and Shenzhen services. This investment not only strengthens our supply chain but also accelerates the delivery speed of elevator and escalator parts. By pairing Hong Kong’s world-class service standards with Shenzhen’s local technical talent and strategic location, we have built a powerful regional support network to fuel the future development of the GBA.”

From Luohu and Liantang to the Huanggang Port, KONE is one of the few companies capable of delivering complex cross-border projects. Driven by our seamless cross-border synergy, KONE remains committed to supporting public infrastructure, commercial developments, and rail transit projects, contributing to the region’s ongoing development.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 October 2026 – Cloudsome, an AI service platform for global developers, showcased a unified API at TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026, held at Marina Bay Sands on 7–8 October. The API lets developers access, switch between and combine multiple mainstream AI models on demand.

According to the organiser, the event drew about 25,000 attendees from roughly 7,000 companies across 160 countries, with more than 300 speakers and 500 exhibitors; senior executives from Nasdaq, BlackRock, Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan, CME and Franklin Templeton were among those attending.

AI models have advanced rapidly, and the question for developers has shifted from “which model should we use?” to “how do we work across many of them?”. Because mainstream models come from different providers, teams often handle registration, top-ups, integration, billing and rate-limit management separately on each platform — raising engineering and operating costs and complicating model selection.

Cloudsome is built around that gap. With a single integration, developers can call a range of mainstream models on demand from providers in mainland China and overseas, and switch or combine them by scenario, without platform lock-in. The platform currently covers mainstream closed- and open-source models from both regions and continues to onboard more models and providers.

“AI models are evolving quickly, and developers are spending more and more time weighing options across vendors, which pushes up engineering and operating costs,” a Cloudsome spokesperson said. “We want to give teams a single entry point, so they can put their energy back into the product and their users.”

As AI converges with fintech, content and developer tools, more teams are building AI products for global users from day one. Singapore has positioned itself as a regional hub for artificial intelligence and regulated digital-asset activity, and TOKEN2049 is a major annual gathering for the developers, founders and partners in that space.

Going forward, Cloudsome said it will keep onboarding mainstream AI models from mainland China and overseas and expand its global partnerships.

Cloudsome is an AI service platform for global developers, built around a unified API that simplifies accessing, managing and switching between mainstream AI models. The platform supports mainstream models from international and mainland Chinese providers and continues to onboard new models and providers.
