The QUANTGROUP (02685) has announced that the group has recently made ongoing progress in verifying artificial intelligence (AI) technologies within the food and beverage consumption sector, having successfully completed validation for multiple categories of technology. Performance during the research, development, and testing phases has remained consistently stable.

This update references the company's prospectus dated November 29, 2025, and its 2025 annual report. As outlined in the prospectus, the company has established core AI capabilities encompassing automated machine learning, natural language processing, and lookalike audience expansion algorithms.

Strategic Implementation of Technology

This series of technical verifications represents a phased exploration under the group's strategic direction of "using AI as the core driver and consumption scenarios as the implementation vehicle." The company's 2025 annual report disclosed that the group would explore application scenarios for cutting-edge technologies, including "intelligent species," in the physical world. This exploration, conducted under strict compliance and ethical guidelines, aims to open new growth avenues for long-term sustainable development and achieve deep integration of intelligent technology and commercial value. The aforementioned technical verifications constitute the continued implementation and practice of this strategic direction.

Board's Assessment and Future Outlook

The board of directors believes these technical verifications will help the group accumulate expertise in the field of AI-enabled consumption scenarios. This aligns with the company's previously disclosed development direction, is conducive to enhancing the group's overall competitiveness and future development, and serves the overall interests of the company and its shareholders.

The board wishes to emphasize that, as of the date of this announcement, the relevant technical verifications are all in the research and development phase. There is no definitive commercialization timeline, and they are not expected to have a material impact on the group's revenue or business structure at this stage.

Nature of the Technological Development

These technical verifications represent an exploration of applying the group's core AI-enabled consumption scenario strategy in the physical world, with the food and beverage consumption sector being one specific implementation scenario. The company utilizes natural language processing technology to enable intelligent customer service and automated interaction in this sector and employs automated machine learning to adapt these core AI capabilities to the food and beverage environment. This constitutes a scenario-based extension of the group's existing AI technological capabilities and does not represent a significant change to the group's principal business operations.
