Odaily News - AMD has announced "Day 0" support for Qwen3.8 27B, the latest-generation model from Alibaba's Tongyi Qianwen (Qwen) series, enabling developers to run this large-scale open-source AI model locally on AMD hardware on the very day of its release.AMD stated that Qwen3.8 27B is a 27B-parameter intensive model suited for local AI development, continuing the Qwen series' optimization focus on code generation, practical work tasks, scientific research, and long-context AI applications. The model can run via the open-source inference framework llama.cpp on AI PCs and workstations powered by AMD processors, or on a single AMD 32GB graphics card, while also supporting AMD hardware platforms with over 24GB of variable graphics memory (VGM) or VRAM capacity.AMD's preliminary tests show that Qwen3.8 27B delivers strong local inference performance on AMD platforms: up to 24.5 tokens/second on the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor, and up to 51.8 tokens/second on a single Radeon AI PRO R9700 GPU. The tests were conducted on Windows systems using the llama.cpp Vulkan backend with multi-token prediction (MTP) optimization enabled. AMD noted that actual performance still has room for improvement as further software and model optimizations are rolled out.

According to Reuters, citing people familiar with the matter, Alibaba plans to introduce commercial terms next week for the next-generation open-source, open-weights AI model Qwen3.8-Max, proposing to require revenue sharing from customers who sell the model as a service and reach a certain scale. The report states that Alibaba previously mainly charged for model usage hosted on its cloud platform, while most open-source models can be used for free when deployed in customers' own data centers.
The Qwen App and PC client have launched new features, introducing multiple new functions such as Thinking & Research, Scheduled Tasks, Office Assistant, Agent Marketplace, and Voice Calls, while supporting Alibaba's latest flagship model Qwen3.8-MAX. All users can use the above features for free.
Alibaba Cloud announced that the Qwen 3.8-Max model received integration support from mainstream AI developer platforms including OpenRouter, OpenCode, Vercel, and DeepInfra on its first day of release. This rapid ecosystem response indicates high interest from the developer community in the new model, with application development underway based on the Qwen 3.8 series. Officially, trial access to Model Studio and Qwen Cloud was simultaneously opened to developers, further lowering the barrier to entry and accelerating the adoption of the new model within the ecosystem.

According to options expiry data released by [email protected] (@BTC__options), a total of 19,000 BTC options expired this week, with a Put Call Ratio of 0.89, Max Pain at $64,500, and a notional value of $1.2 billion; 125,000 ETH options expired, with a Put Call Ratio of 1.25, Max Pain at $1,875, and a notional value of $230 million. In terms of market conditions, BTC briefly broke through 66K this week but failed to hold. The 65K to 80K range is a high-volume trading zone from the early year's rally, indicating significant upside pressure. Overall IV has retreated to the 35% level, leaving fewer trading opportunities. Notably, the ETH put option ratio has exceeded 1 for 6 consecutive weeks, the longest duration on record, indicating sustained high bearish sentiment in the market. However, some traders are also taking the opportunity to sell Puts to buy the dip. Cryptocurrencies have experienced an 8-month bear market. From a cyclical perspective, the second half of the year may see a certain rebound.

Claude announced that effective July 20, Fable 5 will be officially included in the Max and Team Premium subscription plans, and users will receive usage rights equivalent to 50% of the full quota. Pro and Team Standard users can still access Fable 5 by using credits and will receive a one-time $100 quota compensation. Claude stated that due to the difficulty in accurately predicting the scale of demand after Fable 5's launch, a phased rollout strategy was previously adopted, and the scope of subscriber access was expanded multiple times as compute resources increased. This process brought uncertainty to some users, so this adjustment aims to allow users to more clearly understand the model usage rights included in the subscription plans. In the future, continued investment will be made to expand compute capacity, and Fable 5's access policy will be continuously updated based on capacity conditions.
Odaily AI infrastructure project Venice has announced an update to its VVV and DIEM tokenomics model, introducing a new programmatic buyback and burn mechanism and gradually increasing the DIEM supply target from 38,000 to 40,000 tokens.Venice stated that VVV is its core ecosystem asset, an ERC-20 token issued on the Base chain. After users purchase and stake VVV, they can earn rewards, unlock Venice Pro benefits, and use it to mint DIEM. Previously, a portion of platform revenue was used for market buybacks and the burning of VVV.This update first expands the sources for VVV burning. Previously, Venice had already implemented an automated VVV buyback and burn mechanism through Pro, Pro+, and Max subscription revenues. Now, this mechanism will cover API credit purchases: for every $100 worth of Venice API credits purchased by a user, $5 will be used to buy and burn VVV. This process will be executed automatically. As API usage grows, more VVV will be removed from circulation.Venice stated that the new API burn mechanism will be tracked separately on the official burn page, displayed distinctly from the burn records generated by subscription revenue.Concurrently, Venice will adjust the DIEM supply target. DIEM is the second-generation token in the Venice ecosystem, used to provide access to AI model credits. Each DIEM corresponds to $1 worth of daily Venice AI credits.DIEM can only be minted by staking and locking VVV. Users can use or sell these AI credits. Previously, the DIEM supply target was long fixed at 38,000 tokens.Starting August 3rd, this target will be gradually raised to 40,000 tokens, adding up to 2,000 new DIEM minting capacity to the market. As each newly minted DIEM requires locking more staked VVV, this will correspondingly increase the daily supply of AI API credits.Venice indicated that as the DIEM supply approaches the target, the minting cost (Mint Rate) will gradually increase. This increase in the supply target will provide users with greater minting capacity while maintaining the ecosystem's supply-demand mechanism.This adjustment shows that Venice is strengthening its token economic flywheel through a path of "AI service demand growth → increased API revenue → continuous VVV burning → ecosystem value capture."
