Anthropic has released the results of Phase Two of “Project Fetch,” evaluating the enhanced capabilities of its latest model in real-world robotic manipulation. Conducted in August 2025, the experiment tasked non-robotics-expert Anthropic employees with completing a series of complex tasks using off-the-shelf quadruped robots. Performance was compared between two conditions: “using Claude models for assistance” versus “relying solely on humans and the internet.” Results show that, under fully autonomous operation by the latest model—Claude Opus 4.7—the robot achieved significantly faster average completion times across all successfully executed tasks than the human team, with execution speed improved by at least 10×.

the U.S. Federal Reserve, the Treasury Department, and other financial regulatory agencies have jointly released the implementation draft of the "GENIUS Act," requiring stablecoin issuers to comply with the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and implement Customer Identification Programs (CIP).According to the draft requirements, stablecoin issuers must verify user identities, maintain records of identity information such as names and addresses, and screen against terrorist organization and sanctions lists. The relevant rules have now entered a 60-day public comment period, and will be formally implemented after the final rule is issued.Additionally, Federal Reserve Governor Michael Barr expressed reservations about this framework, believing it inadequately addresses the risks of illegal financing in secondary market transactions. The proposal specifically solicits comments on whether customer identification requirements should be further extended to secondary market transactions. (CoinDesk)
Odaily Chicago Mercantile Exchange Group has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and its Chairman Michael Selig in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, concerning the agency's routine approval of cryptocurrency perpetual futures. The lawsuit stems from the CFTC’s May 29 approval of a perpetual futures contract linked to the spot price of Bitcoin by prediction market platform Kalshi, and the issuance of a no-action position for a similar product on the Coinbase exchange. In the filing, CME argues that the CFTC's treatment of "futures" with expiration dates as "swaps" violates directives from the U.S. Congress and the Commodity Exchange Act, and requests the court to invalidate the relevant perpetual futures actions. CME also claims that Selig acted unilaterally without a full panel of five commissioners. A CFTC spokesperson stated that CME is waging a "legal battle" against the agency and the government’s crypto policy, calling the lawsuit "frivolous." Kraken has also announced the launch of perpetual futures trading for U.S. users via the CFTC-regulated platform Bitnomial.

Odaily reports, VistaShares posted on X platform that Micron will release its earnings on June 24, with revenue achieving triple-digit growth for multiple consecutive quarters. VistaShares pointed out that the key indicator to determine whether this memory cycle is sustainable or has peaked is the gross margin, with Micron's latest guidance approaching 81%, compared to 37% one year ago.VistaShares noted that revenue reflects delivered results, serving as a retrospective figure in a supply-constrained market, locked in by contracts signed several quarters ago. Profit margins reflect pricing power, which begins to change first when supply starts to catch up with demand. Memory always collapses on margins, not on revenue.

OpenAI has released LifeSciBench, a new evaluation benchmark designed to assess AI systems’ capabilities in real-world scientific research scenarios. LifeSciBench comprises 750 expert-crafted tasks covering seven categories of scientific workflows and seven biology domains. The tasks were contributed by 173 researchers holding doctoral degrees and possessing industry experience in biotechnology or pharmaceuticals. This benchmark emphasizes the assessment of complex scientific research competencies—including evidence integration, experimental design, data analysis, scientific reasoning, and scientific communication—rather than isolated factual questions. Over 79% of the tasks require multi-step reasoning, with an average of approximately four reasoning steps per task, and include 1,062 authentic research-related data attachments (e.g., papers, figures, sequence data, and structural files).
