Tianyu FangGUEST
And of course it was shut down in 2009. because the government didn't like that and people were organizing various types of movements on that site.
Tianyu FangGUEST
And there was also Fanfo, which was the original copy of Twitter where Wang Xing, the founder of Meituan, was working at.
Tianyu FangGUEST
It was founded in I think 2007 or 2008.
Tianyu FangGUEST
And that was also killed or essentially was suspended by the Chinese government when there was a riot in Wurumqi in Xinjiang in 2009,
YushanHOST
Because usually we've already have WeChat.
YushanHOST
We've already have Meituan and other apps.
YushanHOST
So just it seems like getting connected from what you've already had, the existing account, linking all that to a bike rental system.
YushanHOST
seems very natural for us.
Bryan ShanGUEST
And I think Ngram is a very natural consequence that you get to.
Bryan ShanGUEST
[clears throat] Actually, the LongCat team from Meituan, uh, claim to be concurrently working at the same, with the same technique.
Bryan ShanGUEST
So it's really quite cool that like two labs, I'm not sure if they collaborated or what, uh, two labs arrived at this conclusion independently that Ngrams was a good technique.
Bryan ShanGUEST
Yeah.

So because of the longer holiday window, I would say, that means a lot of people are choosing longer halls of travels.
FeifeiHOST
For example, I have another set of data coming from Meituan.
FeifeiHOST
It says booking for long-haul flights of more than 2,000 kilometers have risen more than 70% year-on-year.
FeifeiHOST
Oh, wow.

And so when I hear, you know, Chinese models are advancing, and it's proliferating across China.
Jason YumGUEST
There's even a company called Meituan has a large language model.
Jason YumGUEST
It's a food delivery company.
Gabriela SantosHOST
Interesting.

In Brazil, BemMy pulls medicines, vaccines, appointments, and lab results into family profiles.
Thalia MusesHOST
Meituan in China just added an AI family health manager, and even India's national Aarogya Setu app is being framed around individuals and families.
Thalia MusesHOST
So, this is moving well beyond one startup.
Christophe JauquetHOST
Indeed.
Christophe JauquetHOST
We have examples from Australia with Lifelong, whose slogan is actually, 'The family is the unit of care.' Then in Brazil, we have indeed one solution that combines all the medicines, vaccines, appointments, and lab results from the entire family into one app supported by an AI.
Christophe JauquetHOST
And in China, we talked about this example a zillion times on this podcast, Meituan, one of the country's giant digital platforms you use every day to order food, well, they now have an AI family health manager.
Christophe JauquetHOST
And even in India, there is an app that previously was used during COVID that is now again being used for gathering all the personal health records by both individuals and entire families.
Christophe JauquetHOST
So, think about these four examples and all the other ones we already talked about.
