According to ChainCatcher, OpenAI has expanded ChatGPT Finances to its Mac desktop app. After updating the app, users can select Finance in the sidebar to connect bank, credit card and investment accounts through Plaid, then view balances, analyze spending, manage subscriptions and track portfolios. ChatGPT can use account transaction, balance and investment data to answer questions, such as which category a user spent the most on during the month or which subscriptions to cancel. ChatGPT Finances launched this May with features for tracking categorized spending, reviewing recurring charges, monitoring stock holdings and asset allocation, tracking credit scores and generating weekly financial updates. OpenAI says account connections are read-only: ChatGPT cannot transfer funds, pay bills or trade stocks, and users can disconnect accounts at any time. The feature is currently available in the United States to Free, Go, Plus and Pro users.

According to ChainCatcher, people familiar with Tencent said on November 12 that claims in chat screenshots that the company would lay off 50% of its staff were based on a serious misreading and were entirely false. They said the figure referred to reallocating resources for the AI era: one half of employees would focus on improving existing core businesses, while the other half would explore AI-native opportunities and new areas of growth. At a livestream marking Tencent’s 28th anniversary, management called for proactive organizational changes to adapt to the AI era, distinguishing the effort from earlier, more defensive cost-cutting measures. The stated focus this time is improving efficiency and encouraging new value creation, with a flatter, more agile middle-management structure.

Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are closely monitoring leadership uncertainty at NVIDIA, one of their major customers, company insiders said Thursday. According to Sina Finance, the two chipmakers are assessing potential succession scenarios after reports that NVIDIA's board is considering possible successors to CEO Jensen Huang following allegations of multiple extramarital relationships. Huang's close ties with Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-yong and SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won have raised concerns that his departure could affect business relationships. One company insider said his exit could disrupt contact among industry executives and that slower business talks or changes to existing plans could not be ruled out. Other insiders said current supply agreements are unlikely to be affected, noting that the companies have worked with NVIDIA executives, including Senior Vice President Jeff Fisher, on detailed business plans. Reports also said NVIDIA could retain key executives to maintain management stability if Huang were replaced, as there is no clear succession plan. Another company executive said Huang is an iconic figure in the AI industry, but NVIDIA and the broader sector should not be equated with him alone. The executive added that changes in the regulatory environment or NVIDIA's product roadmap could complicate South Korean chipmakers' production and investment plans over the long term, while regulatory risks are currently unlikely to weaken U.S. companies' competitiveness.

Thai and South Korean refiners bought U.S. crude scheduled for loading in December. According to Sina Finance, traders said Thailand's PTT bought about 2 million barrels and South Korea's SK bought at least one Aframax cargo. Japan's Taiyo Oil had also ordered at least one Aframax cargo earlier in the trading cycle, while India's Bharat Petroleum bought about 1 million barrels for earlier loading. Asian purchases overall have been slower this month than in previous years.

Canada Pension Plan Investment Board plans to roughly double its hedge fund investments to about $160 billion over the next five to seven years. According to Sina Finance, citing people familiar with the discussions, CPPIB is particularly interested in hedge fund firms it does not currently invest with, including Millennium Management, run by Izzy Englander; the sources requested anonymity because the discussions are internal. The C$866 billion ($608 billion) pension fund currently has about $80 billion invested in hedge funds and expects its total assets to roughly double over the next seven years. Hedge fund investments helped CPPIB outperform its internal benchmark in the last fiscal year. Its annual report showed that the capital markets and factor investing department recorded net gains of $3.4 billion in the 12 months through March this year, mainly attributed to external hedge fund investments. A CPPIB representative declined to comment.

ByteDance co-founder Zhang Yiming said the company can compete with Anthropic and OpenAI in frontier AI, but may need until 2029 or 2030 to reach their level. According to PANews, citing Bloomberg, Zhang made the remarks at a recent company-wide meeting for ByteDance’s AI team. Zhang said the pretraining datasets for ByteDance’s Seed large language models are several orders of magnitude smaller than those used by leading U.S. competitors. He also said ByteDance should not rely too heavily on model distillation and should focus on long-term development. A previous report said ByteDance was expanding into AI agents and planned to launch an assistant similar to Meta Muse.
