Why it matters
Bloomberg's report puts two separate questions on different clocks: whether ByteDance can ship a personal assistant in the coming weeks, and whether ByteDance can compete at the cutting edge by 2029 or 2030 at the earliest. The first will be judged on named features, permissions and connected services. The second remains a reported internal estimate, with no benchmark or launch evidence supplied.
