Core Viewpoint - Morgan Stanley expresses skepticism about the implementation of Doubao AI Assistant, despite its impressive demonstration, and maintains a positive outlook on "super applications" like Tencent, Alibaba, and Meitu [1][4]. Group 1: Doubao AI Assistant Challenges - The demonstration of Doubao AI Assistant showcased impressive multimodal and agent capabilities, but transitioning from demonstration to mass production is challenging [2]. - Deep system-level integration requires modifications to the operating system, which directly impacts the interests of smartphone manufacturers (OEMs) [2][3]. - Major smartphone OEMs are likely to prefer developing their own AI assistants rather than collaborating with ByteDance, limiting the potential partnerships for Doubao [3]. Group 2: Investment Strategy - Given the difficulties in hardware breakthroughs, Morgan Stanley suggests that investment should focus on software application giants with large traffic and scenarios [4]. - The report emphasizes that the dominance of China's "super applications" (e.g., WeChat, Taobao, Meituan) is unlikely to be undermined, as they are also building their own AI capabilities [4]. - Morgan Stanley reiterates an "Overweight" rating for Tencent, Alibaba, and Meitu, providing specific support for each: - Tencent is seen as the best AI application agent in China, with plans to launch its next-generation AI model, Mix Yuan 2.0 [4]. - Alibaba is identified as the best AI infrastructure stock, with expected acceleration in cloud revenue growth [4]. - Meitu is recognized for its "last mile" service capabilities, which are difficult for general AI assistants to fully replace [5].
