According to TechCrunch, OpenAI is fighting back against Apple's lawsuit regarding the leak of trade secrets, stating that Apple itself has vulnerabilities in its information security management and employee departure processes, and cannot prove that the relevant information is protected trade secrets.Apple previously accused OpenAI of obtaining hardware-related secrets through former employees who left Apple and requested the court to expedite the evidence investigation. In the latest legal documents submitted, OpenAI stated that Apple allows employees to use personal iCloud accounts to handle work materials and did not promptly revoke access after employees left. OpenAI claimed that Apple did not specify the exact trade secrets that were allegedly stolen, but only referred generally to information such as product development processes, supply chains, and testing.OpenAI believes that Apple's lawsuit is more about restricting its development in the AI hardware field and denies that the company needs or uses Apple's trade secrets. The focus of the dispute between the two parties centers on employee mobility, intellectual property protection, and competition in the AI hardware sector.

According to CryptoSlate, Solana increased the block computation unit limit from 60 million to 100 million on July 29, a 66.7% increase. This adjustment provides more parallel processing space for unrelated transactions, reducing the block occupancy rate of a single popular account from the original 20% to 12%.However, the computation limit for writing to the same account in each block remains at 12 million CU, and the incremental data limit for accounts is still 100 MB, which means the congestion bottleneck for popular accounts has not been fundamentally resolved. If a large number of transactions need to be written to the same popular account (such as a high-volume DEX or liquidation contract), they are still subject to this limit. The officials did not provide actual comparative data on transaction confirmation rates, fees, block propagation, or replay before and after the upgrade.
