Multi-model risk scoring and multimodal detection of suspected minors help the adults-only platform find and act on harmful content in real time

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 31 October 2026 – Chamet, a global live streaming and video chat platform with more than 50 million downloads on Google Play worldwide, is expanding its use of multimodal, multi-model AI to moderate live content and protect users. Southeast Asia is one of Chamet’s strongest regions, and its safety systems are built for live video.

Singapore has moved quickly on online harms. The Online Safety Commission began operations on June 29, 2026, and can direct platforms to disable harmful content or restrict accounts in cases such as online harassment and intimate image abuse. Since March 31, 2025, IMDA’s online safety code for app stores has required designated app stores to roll out age assurance that keeps children away from apps rated 18+.

Multimodal Detection of Suspected Minors

Chamet is open only to adults aged 18 and over, with zero tolerance for underage users. Rather than relying on one signal, its system combines profile photos, live-stream frames, video, voice, text, self-reported age and account behaviour. Each case receives a risk level based on model confidence, and the system can restrict content, limit interactions, or restrict the account. Human reviewers check cases before final decisions. Accounts found to have falsified their age are permanently suspended.

Multi-Model Fusion for Content Review

Chamet runs several moderation models and third-party services, each with its own labels and confidence scales. The platform maps their outputs onto one shared risk scale, then weighs them by content type, where the content appears, and each model’s track record. Each item gets one risk level, and a consistent action, with the highest-risk cases reviewed first.

These systems work alongside real-person face verification, safeguards against unauthorised screen recording, in-app reporting and blocking, and an appeals process. Chamet also offers free real-time AI translation in more than 50 languages, turning speech into on-screen subtitles during video calls.

“In a live video call, harm can happen in seconds, so safety has to work just as fast,” said David Qi, Chief Marketing Officer of Chamet. “By combining many models and signals, our review teams can spot risk sooner and make more consistent decisions. Connecting people and keeping them safe are two parts of the same job.”

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 October 2026 – International Business Settlement Holdings Limited (“IBS” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”; stock code: 0147.HK) entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with the shareholder of QuantumCompute Solutions Limited (“QuantumCompute Solutions”) to acquire its entire equity interests for a consideration of HK$563 million. Upon Completion, QuantumCompute Solutions will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of IBS, and its financial results will be consolidated into the Group’s financial statements.

QuantumCompute Solutions indirectly owns approximately 85.94% equity interest in Shanghai Tianjing Fulian. Shanghai Tiangjing Fulian is also 5.56%-owned by Foxconn Industrial Internet, the shares of which are listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (stock code: 601138.SH). The Shanghai Tianjing Fulian Group is principally engaged in the design and development of AI SoC products and integrated solutions, with a particular focus on low-power, cost-effective AI computing and edge computing applications. Through its chip design capabilities and comprehensive technology solutions, the Shanghai Tianjing Fulian Group has established a solid technological foundation in AI inference and edge-side computing infrastructure. The Shanghai Tianjing Fulian Group is an officially authorised independent chip design house for MediaTek Inc., a leading global semiconductor company.

The Directors believe that the Acquisition will enable the Group to expand its business scope from its existing fintech and computing power services into AI chip design and edge computing infrastructure, thereby strengthening its technology capabilities and building a comprehensive ecosystem encompassing computer infrastructure, AI chips and AI application solutions. This strategic expansion aligns with strong growth in the AI semiconductor, edge computing, and digital infrastructure sectors, driven by rising demand for low-latency, real-time AI solutions as well as supportive government policies promoting semiconductor innovation and digital infrastructure investment.

The Group has appointed Dr. Tang Tianshen as its chief strategic consultant to advise on the the strategic development and operations of the Group’s fintech-related businesses. Dr. Tang holds a doctorate in electronic engineering from Texas A&M University and possesses extensive expertise spanning academic research, advanced chip design, and executive leadership in the semiconductor industry. Dr. Tang has served in senior roles of various leading technology companies, including Intel, Shanghai Hua Hong and SMIC.

The Board considers that the transaction represents an opportunity to acquire immediate access to AI chip design capabilities, specialised technical talent, established technology assets, and growth opportunities in the AI industry. Compared with developing such capabilities internally, the Acquisition is expected to accelerate the Group’s entry into the AI semiconductor and edge computing sectors, shorten development time, and strengthen its competitive position in the evolving digital economy. In the long term, the Acquisition is expected to support the establishment of an ecosystem covering computing infrastructure, AI chips, and AI application solutions, creating sustainable growth drivers and delivering long-term value to shareholders.

The capital will be deployed in stages across three new business lines, beginning in Brazil.

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 October 2026 – 10 CENTS CAPITAL SDN. BHD. (“10 CENTS CAPITAL”) has completed US$20 million in financing. With the capital, the well-known Malaysian investment holding company is adding three business lines of its own to its investment activities and will deploy the funds in phases, starting in Brazil.

John Lee, Head of International Markets, 10 CENTS CAPITAL.
John Lee, Head of International Markets, 10 CENTS CAPITAL.

How the capital will be deployed
The three new lines are AI business applications, global multilingual marketing and cross-border B2B trade. Part of the capital will build the technology and service base, including AI tools for customer research, marketing content and localisation, and the service model the business will run on. Another part will support cross-border B2B operations: research, information management and enquiry handling.

The remainder is set aside for market development, beginning with market entry in Brazil, the plan’s first market. Local operations there will be handled by its Brazil operating brand, VIVAMOMENTO.

Strategic rationale
Since 2022, 10 CENTS CAPITAL has backed companies across digital technology, e-commerce, consumer services and enterprise services. The three new lines extend that experience into businesses the company builds and runs itself, in areas it already knows well. Funding technology, service and market development together gives each line a complete foundation from the outset, instead of one assembled piece by piece.

“Completing this financing opens a new chapter for our company,” said 10 CENTS CAPITAL Director Peter LIEW. “We will deploy the capital with discipline, one stage at a time, so that each new business stands on a base strong enough to carry the next.”

Outlook
Deployment will proceed in phases, starting in Brazil, with further markets to follow as the new business develops. 10 CENTS CAPITAL will report progress at tencentscapital.com/news, and business and media enquiries are welcome via the contact page.
