Australia’s Labor government is proposing a News Bargaining Incentive that would levy major platforms on Australian revenues unless they strike sufficient payment deals with local media, with proceeds distributed based on journalist employment. Meta argues the plan is poorly designed, risks entrenching publisher dependency, and may conflict with Australia’s US free trade commitments, according to the source.
Moonshot AI, developer of the Kimi model, is reportedly close to a $2 billion funding round valuing it above $20 billion, with Meituan’s Long-Z Fund said to lead and China Mobile and CPE participating. If accurate, the financing would push total fundraising above $3.9 billion in under six months, reinforcing winner-take-most dynamics in China’s large-model ecosystem.
