MEITU (01357) surged over 5%, rising 5.47% to HK$9.45 as of press time, with trading volume reaching HK$627 million.

On the news front, the global AI narrative has been further strengthened recently. In AI applications, OpenAI released its video generation model Sora 2, showing significant performance improvements across multiple aspects. The Sora App powered by Sora 2 has gained tremendous popularity, reaching the top of the US App Store free charts just three days after its launch. Additionally, on October 5th, Tencent's Hunyuan Image 3.0 surpassed Google's Nano Banana and others to rank first in the latest text-to-image leaderboard released by LMArena. Securities analysts noted that with Sora 2's impressive launch and standout new models from Deepseek, Zhipu, Doubao, and Hunyuan, continued focus on AI applications is warranted.

Notably, MEITU's subsidiary MEITU Design Studio recently integrated with Alibaba's business management platform Qianniu backend. Its "AI Product Image" function will provide corresponding AI visual generation services for Taobao and Tmall merchants. Official information shows that MEITU Design Studio's core functions currently cover the full spectrum of needs including product image generation, photo editing and modification, and poster design.

MEITU Design Studio's integration with the Qianniu backend is based on the strategic cooperation reached between MEITU and Alibaba in May this year. Other functions such as "AI Model Try-on" and "Poster Editor" may be gradually integrated in the future.
