Solana 计划于周五 epoch 1053 将目标区块时间降至 200 毫秒，完成自 8 月以来的多次加速升级。
Odaily reports: The Solana blockchain network plans to reduce its target block time from 250 milliseconds to 200 milliseconds when it enters Epoch 1053 on Friday, completing a series of缩短 adjustments that began at 400 milliseconds in August.This upgrade will enable the network to produce 5 blocks per second, while simultaneously lowering the compute cap per block to keep overall throughput roughly unchanged.Faster block production may reduce transaction latency and transaction arbitrage activity, but it will also increase validator voting demands, put pressure on network connectivity, and shorten the transaction validity window.

PPP prediction market tool monitoring shows that on Polymarket, the probability of "Gemini 4.0 will be released before October 9" has fallen to 3%, down 47% in 24 hours.If Google officially releases Gemini 4.0 before the deadline and makes it available to the public, including a public beta or a rolling waitlist open for registration, the market will resolve to "Yes"; otherwise, it will resolve to "No".Gemini 4.0 must be explicitly released under that name, or officially recognized as the next-generation model after Gemini 3. Versions such as Gemini 3.0 Flash and Gemini 2.5 do not qualify.Closed testing, private access, and models that are not actually made available to the public do not count. If Google's official website clearly labels a qualifying version and the public can genuinely access it, this will also be considered a formal announcement.Resolution will primarily be based on official information from Google, with reference to the consensus of credible media reports.Join the PPP signal push community to stay one step ahead and seize the opportunity.

According to research, Goldman Sachs' October 8, 2026 report indicated that Dell's AI server deliveries are approximately four to six weeks faster than those of its peers, enabling customers to commence operations and monetize earlier. Goldman Sachs maintains a Buy rating on Dell, with a price target of $570 against its current share price of $574.55. Dell expects memory market tightness to persist through 2027, as demand growth continues to outpace supply growth. Goldman Sachs believes Dell's competitive moat extends from component sourcing to system design, supply chain procurement, manufacturing, and deployment, supporting its premium pricing relative to OEMs and ODMs. Rising storage integration rates and operating leverage are the primary drivers for future margin expansion. Enterprise AI adoption remains in its early stages, with hybrid architecture representing the main evolutionary direction.

USV announced that veteran venture capital firm Union Square Ventures (USV) has successfully raised a new $900 million fund to support startups positioned at the cusp of major market shifts. USV stated that AI infrastructure buildout is already fully underway. Just as the firm backed the internet revolution in 2004, it will apply the exact same logic to invest in the “age of intelligence.” The fund’s substantial increase from the previous $275 million is designed to address the realities of the AI era, which is characterized by larger funding rounds and higher valuations. Regarding investment focus, USV outlined three core themes: AI will reshape markets rather than merely automate them; unlocking previously inaccessible “edge data” (spanning robotics, manufacturing, sensor networks, etc.); and meeting the growing demand from consumers and enterprises for more robust intelligence and stronger trust alignment (categorized under the “Rebel Alliance” theme). Energy investments have also been integrated into the core fund.

Odaily News: Researcher Robin Linus has released the Bitcoin Poker protocol, expanding the unfinished poker interface that Satoshi Nakamoto left in Bitcoin's early code in 2008 into a runnable solution. The protocol supports two players in Texas Hold'em without a dealer, using Bitcoin's existing rules to handle gameplay and fund settlement.Bitcoin Poker generates card faces through secret information jointly provided by both parties, generating only the 9 cards needed per hand, and uses cryptographic commitments and zero-knowledge proofs to maintain fair dealing. The protocol can check for duplicate cards, and the probability of a randomly generated hand passing the check is approximately 48%, requiring an average of 2.08 attempts.The protocol pre-builds a transaction tree for possible game outcomes, with a reference configuration containing 56,132 logical nodes and approximately 8.4 MB of preparation data. Normal gameplay occurs off-chain, with transactions used only to handle disputes when cooperation breaks down.If one party refuses to continue, a timeout mechanism can settle the committed pot after a specified delay and return the departing party's unused balance, but cannot force players to reveal their cards. The design requires no modifications to Bitcoin's consensus rules, supports only two participants, and still requires independent security review. (Bitcoin.com News)
