: Julian Schrittwieser, a technical staff member at Anthropic, recently posted on social media, joking about the shift in attitude some tech giants have shown towards "open source" in recent years. He expressed anticipation for Nvidia and Microsoft to further open up their core technologies, stating: "It's great to see Jensen Huang become a supporter of open source. Looking forward to the open-source release of CUDA and GPU drivers. Also looking forward to Satya Nadella supporting open source, hoping to see Windows and Microsoft Office open-sourced in the future."Julian Schrittwieser also responded to external speculations that he opposes open weight models, indicating that this interpretation is inaccurate. He believes that open models can actually play an important role in many scenarios. However, Schrittwieser pointed out that what is interesting is that some companies, which have long been very cautious or even opposed to open source in the past, are now rapidly shifting towards supporting open ecosystems.In recent years, with the intensification of competition in artificial intelligence, open-source models, open weights, and developer ecosystems have become critical areas of competition in the tech industry. Companies including Nvidia and Microsoft have continuously emphasized their support for open ecosystems. However, the definition of "open" remains controversial within the industry—some companies open up model interfaces, toolchains, or ecosystems, while their core commercial assets remain closed source.Julian Schrittwieser's remarks have also sparked discussion, focusing on whether the "selective open sourcing" promoted by tech giants represents genuine openness or a new ecological competitive strategy.
the race for the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) is coming to an end, but the real challenges for companies are just beginning. The high cost of maintaining ongoing compliance systems may reshape the European crypto landscape. The future competitive focus in the industry is likely to shift from "who can obtain a license" to "who can afford the regulatory costs," driving companies towards scaling through mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, or partnerships with banks. As MiCA is gradually implemented and the UK's crypto regulatory framework takes shape, the European crypto industry is entering a new phase of consolidation. Insiders believe that high-standard regulatory requirements could fuel a new wave of M&A, and cooperation between crypto-native companies and traditional financial institutions will deepen further.This trend may be even more pronounced in the UK market. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is developing a new regulatory framework for crypto assets, which is expected to bring crypto businesses under the existing financial services regulatory system, subjecting them to capital, operational, and customer asset protection requirements similar to those for traditional investment firms. Steven Lightstone, a partner at Morgan Lewis in London and co-head of the global fintech team, stated that while the FCA aims to promote market competition and support new entrants, its regulatory standards will be very strict when it comes to consumer protection. Unlike the EU's standalone MiCA framework, the UK's approach will directly leverage the existing financial regulatory system to manage crypto firms.Meanwhile, increased regulatory certainty is accelerating the entry of European banks into the digital asset space. Simon Schneider, CEO of Sygnum Europe, noted that currently fewer than 20% of banks in Europe offer crypto-related services, indicating a significant market gap. The greatest value of MiCA is not just creating a new licensing system but providing legal certainty for financial institutions to enter the digital asset market. Citing Switzerland as an example, he pointed out that after the introduction of distributed ledger technology regulations, most major Swiss banks have begun offering digital asset services, a path that other parts of Europe may follow in the future. Banks are unlikely to replace crypto-native companies altogether; instead, they are more likely to rely on specialized infrastructure providers and collaborate in areas such as custody, brokerage, staking, and asset tokenization.As companies that fail to secure MiCA licenses gradually exit the European market, assets may become further concentrated among regulated entities. However, Schneider believes that self-custody models and institutional custody models will continue to coexist for the long term.Industry insiders suggest that the European crypto industry is entering a "regulatory-driven consolidation cycle."

CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler pointed out in a weekly report analysis that the US 10-year Treasury yield has recently risen to approximately 4.7%, approaching the upper limit of the range over the past five years. The high-interest rate environment is tightening financial conditions, raising financing costs and asset discount rates, and increasing pressure on risk assets.

NFT platform Forma announced it will cease operations of the Forma blockchain, stating that continuing to maintain the network is unsustainable. Forma stated it will migrate the Modularium platform and Forma NFTs to the Ethereum mainnet to ensure the long-term continuity of related works and trading markets. After the migration is complete, user NFTs will remain accessible and can be traded on Ethereum ecosystem markets such as OpenSea, while Modularium will continue to operate as a display platform for these NFT series. Forma also urged users to withdraw on-chain funds via the Forma Bridge as soon as possible. Unwithdrawn assets will be manually migrated by the team to a new EVM-compatible chain at a later stage. The team emphasized that user funds and NFT assets are secure, and specific migration timelines and processes will be announced subsequently.

预测市场运营商 Kalshi 于 7 月 24 日向 Netflix 发出停止侵权函，指控其新纪录片《Instadocs: The Prediction Games》预告片构成诽谤，并要求在 7 月 26 日影片首映前撤下预告片并公开更正。 Kalshi 称，预告片使用了一张伪造的交易单，暗示其允许内华达州体育博彩，且违反州法院命令。该公司表示，画面中的收据日期为 2025 年 5 月 16 日，电话界面显示“crop”，并不符合其平台样式。 Netflix 否认伪造画面，表示相关交易发生在 2025 年 5 月、内华达限制生效前，场景拍摄于拉斯维加斯一场私人活动。内华达监管机构要求 Kalshi 在 8 月 12 日前完成地理围栏部署，否则需按每天 12 万美元支付罚款。
Lido 表示，开发团队正在排查由协议会计预言机上报、今日 stETH 收益重估产生的异常问题。本次重估显示年化收益率为 2.04%，预期数值为 2.15%。该偏差并非验证者罚没造成，问题起因是一笔处于待确认状态的 32 枚验证者质押 ETH 未被预言机纳入统计。开发人员已反复核对预言机播报当时及之后以太坊共识层上所有 Lido 验证者总余额，未发现任何资产存在风险迹象，用户无需进行任何操作。团队目前正在排查问题根本原因；修复方案上线后，下一轮收益重估会将本次少统计资产一并计入核算。待查明根本诱因后，官方将发布完整情况通报。

On July 25, the 51st SUN token buyback and burn was successfully completed. Since its launch in December 2021, the cumulative total burned has exceeded 678 million (678,547,188.32), continuously demonstrating the deflationary effect. Among these, the three major business lines of SunSwap V2, SunPump, and SunX contributed approximately 382 million, 286 million, and 10.7 million respectively, with diverse revenue sources providing solid support for the long-term burn mechanism. The burn amount for this period is 9,025,027.40, and all tokens have been transferred to a black hole address for permanent sealing. This mechanism continues to reduce the market circulating supply, further strengthening the scarcity attribute of SUN tokens, and laying a solid foundation for the long-term healthy development of the token economic model. The SUN team will firmly advance the buyback and burn strategy, continuously enhance ecosystem value, and reward the community's long-term trust and support.

Anthropic engineers disclosed that the team reduced approximately 80% of the system prompts for Claude Code for the latest Claude model, and coding evaluations showed no performance degradation. Early versions contained numerous strict rules in the prompts (such as prohibiting multi-line comments, etc.) due to insufficient model capabilities, but after the new model acquired autonomous decision-making capabilities, these rules instead triggered instruction conflicts and divergent thinking. The new strategy shifted to describing goals (such as "write code that matches the surrounding code") and distributed instructions across tool descriptions and on-demand enabled skill modules. The team explicitly views prompt bloat as technical debt, believing that as model capabilities improve, instructions should be simplified rather than stacked.
The B.AI API platform officially launches the Claude Opus 5 model. This model provides a context window of up to 1 million tokens and a single output limit of 128,000 tokens, achieving significant performance leaps in scenarios such as complex reasoning, long code engineering development, large-scale document analysis, and knowledge-intensive workflows. To meet diverse deployment needs, this release simultaneously opens a dual-channel API access solution on the B.AI platform: in addition to the official standard interface, a new "Designated Service Provider" cooperation channel is added, through which enterprise users can obtain cost discounts of up to 40%, facilitating flexible balancing of performance and budget expenditure based on actual business loads. Developers can log in to the official B.AI platform starting today to experience the exceptional capabilities of Claude Opus 5 first.

Musk announced that xAI will release Grok 4.6 within two weeks and Grok 4.7 within four weeks. This intense release pace is relatively rare in the industry. It remains unclear whether 4.7 is an upgraded replacement version for 4.6; if so, 4.6's lifecycle may be only two weeks. Another possibility is that the two versions are positioned differently, complementing each other.
