PHYSIX OBSERVATION

Meituan is entering long-horizon tasks and multimodality with a 1.6T-parameter model, signaling a push from local-life services toward general AI capabilities. If the model can be deployed in delivery dispatch, customer service, and other operations, it could reinforce its self-developed technology signal, but real-world results remain to be verified.
