Odaily News: MetaMask on Thursday launched the self-custodial wallet Agent Wallet, which allows AI agents to execute on-chain transactions within user-defined limits. It targets traders and developers who use AI agents to monitor markets, identify opportunities, and execute trades autonomously. Users can set spending limits, approve specific protocols, choose risk settings, and select between Guard Mode and Beast Mode for different levels of automation. Agent Wallet supports Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes, OpenCode, as well as Hyperliquid and Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible networks. Agent Wallet supports gas abstraction, allowing users to pay network fees using the asset being transferred, without needing to hold the network's native token. MetaMask stated that supported transactions will undergo transaction simulation, threat scanning, and smart transaction MEV protection. Eligible transactions that still incur losses after passing security checks may be covered by Transaction Protection of up to $10,000 per month.

Odaily News AMD, the semiconductor giant, announced the launch of its enterprise-grade AI programming platform, AMD Instinct Coder. The platform combines AMD chips, Supermicro servers, and Spectro Cloud software, aiming to help enterprises deploy AI coding assistants locally, reduce the cost of cloud-based AI models, and protect code and data security.AMD stated that Instinct Coder is an "out-of-the-box" end-to-end AI development platform, integrating AMD EPYC processors, AMD Instinct GPUs, Supermicro AI servers, Spectro Cloud PaletteAI Inference Launchpad software, and the AMD-optimized GLM-5.2 model. It can be used for software development scenarios such as code generation, application modernization, automated testing, and code review.AMD said that compared to relying on cutting-edge cloud-based AI models, Instinct Coder can help enterprises reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) by up to 70%, with the fastest payback period shortened to 6 months.AMD noted that more and more enterprises are looking to leverage AI to improve development efficiency, but face two major challenges: on one hand, the cost of invoking top-tier cloud models continues to rise; on the other hand, entrusting enterprise source code, intellectual property, and sensitive data to third-party services poses security and compliance risks.Through a local deployment model, Instinct Coder allows enterprises to maintain control over their data and code while providing more predictable infrastructure costs. The platform supports development tools such as Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Visual Studio Code, and Cursor, with each node supporting up to 50 users (30 concurrent users).Additionally, the PaletteAI Inference Launchpad provided by Spectro Cloud enables AI workload management, model routing, request auditing, and cost monitoring, and supports invoking external models such as Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or xAI when needed.AMD stated that Instinct Coder aims to help enterprises break free from the high costs of cloud-based AI services, accelerate AI-driven software development processes while ensuring data security and autonomous control.
The Ethereum Foundation's "Trillion Dollar Security" initiative announced a grant to the Freedom of the Press Foundation to support the continued development of the open-source tool WEBCAT. This tool helps browsers verify whether the frontend code actually delivered by a website matches the version released by the developer, reducing security risks associated with frontend tampering.
DeepSeek officially launches the public beta of version V4-Flash-0731. Through post-training and Agent framework optimization, DeepSWE benchmark scores have improved from 7.3 to 54.4, Cybergym scores have doubled to 76.7, and performance on some hard benchmarks approaches Claude Opus 4.8. The new version does not increase parameters, prices remain unchanged, it natively supports the Responses API, and existing user APIs will automatically switch to the new version. Currently, only the Flash API is updated; the V4 Pro official version is still under development.
According to the research summary published by Rohan Paul, a large-scale study covering 207 GitHub projects and 1.02 million pull requests shows that introducing AI agent review can reduce code review time by 2.5 to 4.5 days/KLOC, but at the cost of declining review quality—in reviews involving AI, 78%~94% of PRs exhibit "review smells", higher than the 69%~76% in pure human reviews. The study points out that repeatedly assigning the same AI reviewer identity is the main reason leading to the decline in review diversity. Notably, projects that introduced LLM review extensively in the early stage did not achieve significant efficiency improvements.
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.
According to Decrypt, Jack Dorsey's payment company Block has officially launched the open-source collaboration platform Buzz, built on the Nostr protocol, enabling employees and AI agents to collaborate within the same workspace. Buzz integrates team chat, code repositories, and automated workflows, where each user and AI agent possesses an independent encrypted identity, supporting mainstream model frameworks such as Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and Block's self-developed goose, with the code released open-source under the Apache 2.0 license. Jack Dorsey stated that the platform aims to reduce the company's reliance on Slack and GitHub; the current version is 0.4.21, already supporting macOS, Windows, and Linux desktops, while the mobile version is still under development.

Kimi posted on platform X, stating that the market response to K3 has far exceeded expectations since its launch, with user demand in the past 48 hours approaching the upper limit of existing GPU computing capacity. To ensure the user experience for existing subscribers, new subscription services have been temporarily suspended. Current subscribers will not be affected, and the company is working to expand computing resources as quickly as possible, gradually resuming new user subscriptions in batches.Additionally, the future membership system will be split into two more targeted products: "Kimi Membership," designed for Kimi's web interface, app, and office scenarios, and "Kimi Code Membership," focused on programming workflows, to achieve more precise resource allocation and improve service stability.
Cos, founder of SlowMist, shared a tweet on X platform regarding potential poisoning attack risks in Claude Code and published a detailed analysis of poisoning attacks targeting Grok Build CLI and Claude Code CLI. The analysis pointed out that the security mechanisms of Grok Build CLI are not unified, with different code paths having different trust assumptions, and the gaps between them serve as channels for attackers.Attackers may exploit malicious project configuration files to execute arbitrary commands without the user's knowledge, thereby stealing API keys, cloud credentials, or gaining control over local devices. Researchers constructed a test environment and found that on Mac systems, if Claude Code is compromised, executing a specific test command could trigger the launch of a local calculator, demonstrating a potential command execution risk. If the attack succeeds, attackers could further steal API keys from AI services such as Claude and OpenAI, causing account cost losses; obtain credentials for cloud services like AWS, Alibaba Cloud, and Tencent Cloud to access servers and data; tamper with code repositories to implant backdoors; and leverage local devices as a springboard to attack internal enterprise networks. It is reported that the relevant vulnerability has existed for one year.
: Yesterday, Dark Side of the Moon (Moonshot AI) released its latest open-source AI model, Kimi K3. It ranked first on the Frontend Code Arena test website with a score of 1,679, surpassing the Claude Fable 5 model. Following an evaluation of the K3 model by Artifacial Analysis, Elon Musk once again praised the Kimi model from Dark Side of the Moon, stating that the K3 model's benchmark performance is impressive.In March of this year, when Kimi published the research paper "Attention Residuals: Rethinking the Aggregation of Depth Direction," it received praise from Musk, who said, "Kimi's research work is impressive." Previously, he also stated that the Zhipu GLM model could surpass the Claude Mythos model (i.e., Fable 5) by Q1 2027. In response, Zhipu founder Tang Jie replied, "It won't take that long."
Today, X-Agent, a zero-code operating platform for AI Agents built on a Web3 social network, officially released its core to the global audience.

Its deployed AI agents have autonomously completed over 1,100,000 actual business tasks, consuming/burning more than 84 billion model Tokens. The project has previously raised $1.8 million in funding and boasts highly cohesive localized communities in Japan and South Korea.The native token, $XAGT, serves as the hard currency for network settlement, directly used for paying SRE computing power Gas fees, transaction commissions, and staking endorsements. The team and investors are subject to a strict 12-month Cliff lock-up period. Community allocations are entirely non-inflationary and can only be released algorithmically through actual sandbox task consumption, ensuring every token is backed by real business demand.According to the latest roadmap, X-Agent plans to open a new zero-code public portal in Q3 2026 and launch a decentralized Agent Store in Q1 2027.
Odaily News: BNB treasury-listed company BNB Plus has announced that it has received a delisting ruling from the Nasdaq Hearings Panel. The primary reason for the delisting is that the company's stock price has persistently failed to meet the Nasdaq Capital Market's continued listing requirement of a minimum $1 bid price. BNB Plus plans to submit a review request to the Nasdaq Listing Review Committee, but this review will not stay the delisting process. The company's stock will be suspended for trading on Nasdaq at the opening on July 14, 2026. The company has completed preparatory work for listing on the OTCQB Venture Market, and the stock code will remain BNBX. Normal trading on the over-the-counter market is expected to commence at the opening on July 14. (Businesswire)
据 Claude 官方 X 账号(@claudeai)发布,Claude 将在所有付费计划中延长 Fable 5 的访问权限,同时 Claude Code 每周使用限制维持高出 50% 的水平,上述政策延续至 7 月 19 日。官方补充说明,用户每周使用限额的一半可用于 Fable 5,超出后可通过使用积分继续访问,或切换至其他模型继续使用。
According to reports by The Paper, due to security risks involving implanted backdoors exposed in Claude Code, Alibaba has listed it on its high-risk software list following a comprehensive evaluation. Effective July 10, internal employees are completely prohibited from using it in the office environment, and Qoder is recommended as an alternative. It is reported that Anthropic's Claude Code was found to have embedded "invisible code" since version 2.1.91. If users enable network proxies, the tool will secretly transmit user location and other information by modifying invisible system prompts. In response, Anthropic stated that this function was an experimental measure launched in March this year, aimed at preventing unauthorized resellers from abusing accounts and preventing distillation behavior, and indicated it would be fully rolled back in the latest version.
BNB Chain has announced the official mainnet launch of its AI Agent development platform, BNB Agent Studio.Developers can now use a single prompt in AI coding tools like Cursor and Claude Code to complete Agent wallet creation, on-chain identity registration (ERC-8004), and deployment, without needing to separately set up wallets, identities, payments, custody, or LLM integration.Once deployed, Agents can use the x402 protocol to automatically deduct fees from users' pre-funded wallets to cover LLM usage, and they can be discovered and invoked by other Agents via the ERC-8183 task interface. The entire process runs on the AWS Bedrock AgentCore.The platform is also launching a limited-time free trial, where users can experience the full deployment process on the BSC testnet using their GitHub account.
Regarding the exposure that Claude Code contains detection code targeted at Chinese users, Claude Code team member Thariq Shihipar responded that the relevant feature is an experiment launched in March this year, primarily used to identify unauthorized distribution activities and prevent model distillation.
