According to monitoring by Dongcha Beating, ByteDance has issued independent options for specific business departments for the first time. As reported by the Financial Times, to prevent competitors like Tencent from poaching talent, ByteDance recently granted low-priced special stock options named 'Doubao' to employees in its AI laboratory Seed department, allowing them to directly share in the growth dividends of the AI business without being affected by equity dilution from different business lines within the group. This options plan is the first issuance of special options tied to a single business unit since ByteDance's establishment. As the competition for talent in the domestic large model field intensifies, key engineering positions such as infrastructure and data labeling have become focal points for recruitment. Since establishing the Seed laboratory in 2023, ByteDance has become Nvidia's largest customer in China due to its massive investment in computing power infrastructure, attracting numerous top AI researchers. However, since Tencent acknowledged its lag in large model development at the end of 2025, it has recently launched intensive targeted poaching efforts led by former OpenAI researcher Yao Shunyu. Recently departed senior members of the Seed visual platform, Xiao Xuefeng and infrastructure expert Zhang Chi, have both joined Tencent. To counteract the poaching, ByteDance has offered global Seed employees the option to purchase Doubao special stocks at $13 per share this month, a nearly 30% increase from the $10 per share price at the end of 2025, reflecting the commercialization of the Doubao large model and improvements in model performance. Although the options mechanism can provide substantial potential returns, there are also controversies within the organization. Some insiders have revealed that the Seed laboratory team has grown to 2,000 people, facing challenges of bureaucratization and fragmented responsibilities in its internal structure. In contrast, Tencent's AI team is smaller and has promised researchers broader autonomy, management responsibilities, and more attractive compensation packages. Besides Tencent, DeepSeek is also facing intense talent competition pressure and is currently raising its first round of funding from investors to retain its core team, while ByteDance successfully poached several core members from DeepSeek's infrastructure team in 2025.

On May 26, according to a report by Iran's Fars News Agency, a source close to the Iranian negotiation team stated that one of the main disputes in the US-Iran negotiations is the issue of unfreezing Iran's overseas funds. The source indicated that the US had at one point 'backed down' on fulfilling related commitments, but Iran insists that 'no agreement can be reached' before the agreed funds are received. The report noted that some progress has been made on the issue following coordination with Qatar. However, given the US's 'history of breaking promises,' Iran 'is prepared for all possible scenarios.' (Xinhua News Agency)

On May 26, the newly emerged 'small-cap tech stock guru' Serenity posted on social media, stating, 'SIVE is the most attractive CPO (Co-Packaged Optics) concept stock for me. Even though it is highly volatile, you might have to wait until the next architectural-level transformation in photonic technology occurs in the coming years to see similar opportunities again. Among core laser suppliers, other companies have already reached market capitalizations in the hundreds of billions. However, SIVE, as one of the critical 'chokepoint' segments in the CPO laser field, currently has a market cap of only $2.3 billion. Financial reports usually just confirm the capacity ramp-up signals that have already appeared, and most of the market's gains are typically made 'before the official confirmation,' rather than after — this is a common pattern in investing.' BlockBeats notes: Serenity is a senior trader with significant influence in the Reddit forum's WallStreetBets (WSB) section, with a cumulative investment return rate exceeding 38 times this year. Their core research findings are consistently made publicly available for free, focusing on critical supporting segments within the Nvidia AI chip supply chain. By thoroughly analyzing the indispensable 'screw' components in the chip manufacturing and packaging processes, they accurately identify key chokepoints in the supply chain and strategically invest in upstream targets with scarcity and bargaining power. SIVE (Sivers Semiconductors) is the stock that Serenity has mentioned the most, having called it out 190 times prior. Since its first public call on March 16, 2026, it has surged 19.6 times.
