SINGAPORE, Nov. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — AI video platform PixVerse, with over 100 million users worldwide, today launched its highly anticipated Remix feature, following last week’s Swap update. Together, these tools make video creation more interactive and collaborative, transforming AI video experience into a continuous, community-driven journey.

From Generation to Co-Creation

PixVerse lets users create videos from scratch or remix existing ones. You can also extend or reinterpret the story while keeping the original video’s actions, shots, and pacing. Favorite videos can be imported directly into PixVerse for remixing, creating a seamless content loop where creation, viewing, and remixing flow naturally. Remix turns AI video into a social playground where collaboration, participation, and sharing thrive.

PixVerse was recently ranked 25th on a16z’s Top 50 GenAI Consumer Apps, reinforcing its growing influence in the global AI creation landscape. The Platform has been recognized by The Information as one of the Top 3 Asian startups in its annual list of “The 50 Most Promising Startups of 2025”. It’s new single-column interface also enhances content discovery, mirroring social media browsing habits to boost engagement and video sharing.

How Remix Works

The Remix feature allows users to import any video, apply creative edits, or reinvent its narrative while maintaining core structural integrity — from motion and pacing to character and scene composition. Key applications include:

– Social Co-Creation: Remix trending videos or join viral challenges.
– Community-driven: Share editable templates for others to reinterpret.
– Brand Activation: Enable user-driven campaigns that invite personalization and storytelling around brand assets.

With PixVerse’s new features, users can create distinctive content in seconds. The Remix feature reimagining the same footage in multiple styles — perfect for social dance trends, meme culture, and more. The Swap feature, launched last week, lets users or friends swap AI video cameos — from reimagining scenes to starring in each other’s creative videos.

Users can swipe left & right to trace the source of the original video. When content is remixed, interactions automatically appear in the original creator’s comments, ensuring proper attribution and encouraging collaborative engagement. Built-in traceability ensures ethical attribution and supports sustainable collaboration.

The updated single-column layout makes browsing easier and encourages users to explore and interact with more content.

Technology Behind Remix

Remix is powered by the proprietary Diffusion + Transformer architecture in V5, enabling precise scene decomposition, consistent recreation, and semantic remapping.

Key highlights for creators:

– Ultra-Fast Generation: Achieve high-quality video in seconds with near-real-time generation. Turbo mode boosts generation speed more than 50%, surpassing industry standards.
– Realistic & Physically Accurate: Proprietary DiT architecture handles complex actions and surreal scenes, producing natural motion, realistic lighting, and physics-consistent video.
– Human-Aesthetic Optimization: Reinforcement learning (RLHF) improves video quality and visual appeal.
– High-Quality Output: Smooth motion, natural style transitions, 1080p support, multi-style anime effects.
– More Features: Multi-frame generation from first and last frames (up to 7 keyframes), 20+ built-in camera motion, audio-video synchronization.

What’s More: Expanding Creative Possibilities

PixVerse now integrates leading image-generation models like Nano Banana, Seedream, and Qwen. Creators can move seamlessly from still images to animated storytelling, bridging ideas from concept to cinematic realization.

Swap, launched last week, built on PixVerse’s Fusion architecture, lets users replace characters, objects, or scenes using text, images, or video, while preserving motion, expressions, and lighting. This opens new possibilities for creative storytelling and branded content.

With over 100 million registered users and 16 million MAU, PixVerse aims to make AI video creation accessible to everyone. Its viral template “Transition Effect” alone has surpassed one billion social views, showing how AI can inspire, connect, and entertain globally.

BYLINE ARTICLE FOR COP30

PUTRAJAYA, Malaysia, Nov. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Malaysia is not simply setting goals; it is actively translating its ambition into reality. Following the introduction of the Malaysia Pavilion theme, ‘Climate Action Now: Net Zero Pathways Unlocked,’ at the recent International Greentech & Eco Products Exhibition and Conference Malaysia (IGEM 2025), we have cemented our commitment in the ‘whole-of-nation’ approach when it comes to all thing’s climate. This effort goes beyond high-level declarations. It is focused on mobilising all sectors including industry, energy, communities and government, towards climate action. Ultimately, our aim is to drive tangible and transformative change that will enable Malaysia to achieve carbon neutrality and secure a sustainable and resilient economic future.

Over the past year, our focus has been on defining the ‘Shift for Sustainability’. This includes building foundational ecosystems like the National Climate Change Policy 2.0 (NCCP 2.0), NDC Roadmap and Action Plan, Long-Term Low Emissions Development Strategies (LT-LEDS) and National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) which anchors our mission to balance the critical energy trilemma of security, affordability and sustainability. Beyond our local efforts, we also advanced regional efforts like the ASEAN Power Grid, which serves as the physical infrastructure that transforms our ambition into reality by facilitating cross-border renewable energy trade. These frameworks and policies were developed to help us transform our national targets into actionable blueprints.

Having successfully established these foundational pillars, Malaysia is now holistically prepared to achieve Net Zero by 2050. Through both local and international collaboration, we believe this action-oriented mission transcends geopolitics or trends. It is a matter of national responsibility and economic prudence, ensuring a secure and sustainable future for our people and nation.

Malaysia has long been committed to climate action. In line with its commitments under the Paris Agreement, through the latest update of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), NDC 3.0 which we submitted in October 2025, Malaysia strives to peak its emissions by 2030 and intends to achieve an absolute reduction of 15–30 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalent (MtCO₂eq) by 2035 from the peak level. This commitment is bolstered by a range of mitigation actions that have advanced Malaysia’s progress toward its NDC targets.

Some notable initiatives include those related to renewable energy policies, energy efficiency improvements, rail-based public transport, biofuel adoption, waste recycling, and sustainable forestry management. Furthermore, Malaysia has set its sights on achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, a visionary goal that calls for strong public-private collaboration and long-term policy clarity.  

The recent Budget 2026 reaffirms Malaysia’s commitment to a greener and more resilient economy, with a stronger emphasis on energy transition, carbon regulation, and sustainable living to safeguard long-term security, affordability, and sustainability for the rakyat (all Malaysians). A key measure under this commitment is the planned introduction of a Carbon Tax, which serves as a critical carbon pricing instrument to incentivise the private sector and industry players to adopt low-carbon technologies, enhance energy efficiency, and integrate sustainability into their operations. Beyond supporting Malaysia’s commitments under the Paris Agreement, the Carbon Tax also positions domestic industries to remain competitive under emerging global carbon pricing regimes, particularly the European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). More importantly, revenues generated through carbon pricing will be reinvested domestically, ensuring that the economic benefits are channelled towards national decarbonisation efforts, technological innovation, and capacity building for a sustainable and inclusive transition.

On the regional front, as the ASEAN Chair in 2025, Malaysia continues to drive leadership in sustainability. Under the Chairmanship, Malaysia hosted the 18th ASEAN Ministerial Meeting on the Environment (AMME-18) and related meetings in Langkawi in early September emphasising the importance of climate change cooperation amidst pressing environmental challenges.

A core achievement of AMME-18 was ASEAN’s agreement on the ASEAN Joint Statement on Climate Change for COP30. The unified statement was endorsed by the ASEAN Environment Ministers and will be delivered at COP30, following its formal approval at the 47th ASEAN Summit on 26 October 2025. The joint statement not only serves as a critical opportunity for ASEAN to collectively influence global climate action but also articulates ASEAN’s common positions on key issues including climate finance, adaptation, loss and damage, technology transfer and implementation of the Paris Agreement.

During AMME-18, Malaysia also facilitated a dialogue between ASEAN Environment Ministers and the COP30 President Designate, Ambassador André Corrêa do Lago. This engagement successfully aligned ASEAN’s priorities with Brazil’s “Amazon COP” vision, laying the groundwork for early coordination towards COP30 in Belém. As a result, we see ASEAN positioned as a united and influential voice in the global climate negotiations.

Building on this momentum, the Malaysia Pavilion at COP30 will serve as an extension of this regional collaboration, highlighting both Malaysia’s national climate initiatives and ASEAN’s collective commitment to sustainability under Malaysia’s Chairmanship. Through this platform, Malaysia aims to amplify the collective voice of Southeast Asian nations, anchored on the principle of Common but Differentiated Responsibilities (CBDR).

The Pavilion will also spotlight regional initiatives, reinforcing Malaysia’s commitment to domestic transformation and regional leadership, ensuring that the voices, vulnerabilities and innovations of Southeast Asian nations are effectively represented and supported on the global stage.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As Black Friday approaches, TORRAS, the tech brand known for blending minimalist design with precision engineering, is unveiling its most advanced screen protector yet — OrigArmor. Designed specifically for the latest iPhone 17 and 16 series, OrigArmor is the world’s first anti-reflective screen protector featuring 3D full-coverage curved edges. From November 20 to December 1, shoppers can enjoy 21% off on Amazon and a Black Friday Special Collection at the TORRASLife site:

• Spend >= $135 → Get a Free MagSafe Card Wallet
• Spend >= $149 → Get a Free MiniMag Power Bank (5,000mAh)
• Spend >= $199 → Get a Free Flexline Pebble Power Bank (10,000mAh)

(Notes: After reaching the required amount, please add the gift to your cart manually — the price will automatically change to $0 at checkout.)

Clearer than Original Display

While most screen protectors dull the display or distort color, OrigArmor does the opposite. Built with a 7-layer anti-reflective coating formed through magnetron sputtering created through a dual ion-exchange process, it keeps reflectivity under 0.8% – cuting reflectivity by over 5× compared to regular protectors. The result is a screen that stays bright, clear, and easy on the eyes, even in direct sunlight. Users no longer need to turn brightness all the way up, helping preserve battery life and the phone’s long-term performance. Unlike regular protectors that block light and make selfies appear blurry or washed out, OrigArmor’s 95% light transmittance ensures every front-camera shot is sharp, detailed, and true-to-color.

The same advanced coating also delivers outstanding scratch and drop resistance, offering superior durability over traditional matte films. TORRAS designed OrigArmor to not only protect but enhance — ensuring that every swipe, scroll, and tap feels as smooth as the original display.

Precision Engineering for Seamless Coverage

Using Tora-Curve™ 3D Curving technology, TORRAS avoided the weaknesses of traditional hot-bending methods. This ensures more durable glass, flawless edge alignment, and a bubble-free finish. The protector’s 99.8% screen coverage eliminates light leaks and dust traps, creating a seamless, case-free fit that looks and feels like part of the phone itself.

Installation is equally effortless with Tora-Airfree™ molecular adhesive, which naturally disperses air for a clean, precise seal every time.

Smooth, Smudge-Free, and Built to Last

Every detail of OrigArmor is designed for real-world use. Its surface applies Shin-Etsu fingerprint-resistant oil onto the top of the 7-layer coating through magnetron sputtering. The 7-layered glass, rated 9H+, passed TORRAS Lab testing, enduring over 25,000 scratch tests and 8,000 drop tests.

This Black Friday, upgrade clarity — not just protection. Discover TORRAS OrigArmor on (https://www.amazon.com/stores/TORRAS/page/83921FBF-84E0-4186-8CCA-22A8D2C7FCA2?maas=maas_adg_2390FC7058D6085BCFF4AC9E48D1D146_afap_abs&ref_=aa_maas&tag=maas) and the official TORRAS store (https://torraslife.com/collections/screen-protectors?utm_source=PR+NewsWire&utm_medium=PR&utm_campaign=iPhone17-OrigArmor&utm_term=PR-US) from November 20 to December 1 and experience the future of screen protection at 21% off.

ISTANBUL, Nov. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — At the crossroads of continents, Trip.com Group convened industry leaders and partners in Istanbul for the 2025 Global Partner Summit, reaffirming its vision to drive innovation, strengthen collaboration, and champion sustainable growth.

The summit unveiled new milestones and strategies designed to transform global travel experiences for both customers and partners. The event also marked an expansion of Trip.com Group’s partnership with the Türkiye Tourism Promotion and Development Agency (TGA), further reinforcing Asia–Europe travel cooperation and highlighting Türkiye’s role as a key hub in the global tourism landscape.

Driving Growth and Innovation

At the Istanbul Congress Centre, Trip.com Group Co-founder and Chairman Mr James Liang highlighted the importance of innovation in travel, be it to enhance efficiency through AI, elevate unique experiences, or champion social responsibility.

“Travel is one of the most powerful manifestations of human innovation and ingenuity,” he shared. “Transformative innovations, like those empowered by AI, are redefining how people explore, connect, and experience the world, while opening new frontiers of possibility. At Trip.com Group, we aim to push boundaries, foster collaboration, and forge pathways to a smarter, more sustainable future. Let us innovate boldly and travel far — for a flourishing humanity.”

A standout among the Group’s AI innovations is Trip.Planner, which provides hyper-personalised itineraries, real-time transport integration, and access to over 20 million points of interest. Mr Liang also highlighted content-enabled innovation with AI-driven recommendation platform Trip.Best, trending happenings guide Trip.Pulse, and Trip.Events, which highlight concerts, sports events and exhibitions. These help travellers craft bespoke journeys through curation and inspiration.

Trip.Best now features new thematic categories to simplify travellers’ choices. In its Family-Friendly Hotels section, properties are evaluated across five key dimensions: facilities, activities, services, certifications, and nearby entertainment.

Together with the in-app social platform Trip Moments and practical travel tips from Travel Guides, these features form Trip Community, the Group’s integrated ecosystem to support travellers in moving from inspiration to booking.

Mr Liang further emphasised innovation in elevating unique travel experiences, such as through the Trip.com Group Tourism Innovation Awards, a global awards programme that honours outstanding innovation in tourism across fields such as cultural heritage, sustainability, and technology. Winners include the Grand Egyptian Museum in Egypt and the multi-sensory show Afterlife at the Sphere in Las Vegas.

Shaping the Future of Global Travel

Amid a rapidly changing global travel landscape, Trip.com Group reaffirmed its leadership with a strategy attuned to rising consumer demand and shifting market trends.

Ms Jane Sun, Chief Executive Officer of Trip.com Group, spotlighted the company’s strong growth, with total bookings on Trip.com surging by 60% year-on-year for the first half of 2025, a milestone she attributed to a combination of resilient consumer confidence and the success of our global expansion strategy.

“This is a defining moment for our industry — an opportunity to reimagine how we create shared value across the global travel ecosystem,” Ms Sun continued. “Guided by our 3T pillars — talent, technology and trust — we are deepening partnerships worldwide to unlock growth in areas such as event-driven travel, elderly-friendly experiences, and emerging markets. Together with our partners, we will constantly identify opportunities in three emerging trends — long-tail destinations, long-haul journeys, and longer stays.”

Looking ahead, Ms Sun added that evolving customer expectations are reshaping the future of travel. “As travellers seek more meaningful, personalised, and seamless journeys, we are combining our global reach with local insights and data-driven innovation to deliver inclusive and inspiring experiences. Through continuous innovation and our ongoing commitment to service excellence, we are empowering travellers and partners alike to connect with the world in deeper, more meaningful ways.”

Event-driven travel is on the rise, powered by travellers’ growing passion for cultural and entertainment experiences. Trip.com Group’s ticket-and-hotel bundle packages have attracted over 10 million customers worldwide, with more than 1,000 performances and sports events sold on the platform last year. 

In the accommodations sector, Trip.com Group is prioritising high-value segments such as inbound travel, concerts and events, wellness retreats, and pet-friendly stays, which are driving incremental revenue and partner growth.

Within attractions and tours, the Group is expanding offerings for the silver generation, a segment that has recorded 100% growth from the end of 2024 to mid-2025, with a preference for small private group tours and premium customised experiences for high-net-worth travellers looking for curated, exclusive access.

In business travel, Trip.Biz has launched a comprehensive global solutions suite integrating inventory, payments, settlements, products, and services, enabling enterprises to configure tailored corporate travel programmes efficiently. By the end of 2025, Trip.Biz will be active in over 30 markets, ensuring consistent, localised support and reinforcing the Group’s position in the global corporate travel ecosystem.

Strengthening Asia–Europe Collaboration

The summit also marked the expansion of Trip.com Group’s partnership with the Türkiye Tourism Promotion and Development Agency (TGA), first established in 2022. The enhanced collaboration now spans air connectivity, flight frequencies, accommodation, tours, attraction tickets, local experiences, and comprehensive tourism packages, all supported by Trip.com Group’s global data and technology capabilities.

The opening of Trip.com Group’s Istanbul office in November 2024 underscores the company’s long-term commitment to Türkiye and the wider region, where traveller engagement has accelerated by over 50% year-on-year. Top-visited cities include Istanbul, Antalya and Izmir, according to the Group’s booking data.

Ms Sun shared, “Together with our partners, we will continue creating new possibilities for travellers around the world to discover and experience inspiring destinations like Türkiye — supporting local economies and building bridges of understanding, progress, and a better world.”

Looking ahead, Trip.com Group remains focused on strengthening its global partnerships and advancing its technology ecosystem to bring the world closer together, one journey at a time.
