Сообщение ChainCatcher, согласно данным Bloomberg, бывший исследователь OpenAI Леопольд Ашенбреннер через свой AI фонд Situational Awareness на этой неделе потратил 400 миллионов долларов на поддержку частной компании, которая является стартапом в области производства полупроводников Source Foundry. Сообщается, что венчурный гигант Sequoia Capital также поддерживает этот стартап, на данный момент представители Situational Awareness и Source Foundry не ответили на запросы о комментариях, а Sequoia Capital отказалась подтвердить информацию о инвестициях этого хедж-фонда.Известно, что Source Foundry стремится разработать более простую, дешевую и быструю технологию производства полупроводников, чем существующие методы, с целью сократить растущий разрыв между потребностями в вычислительной мощности для искусственного интеллекта и возможностями расширения производственных мощностей по производству чипов. Аналитики считают, что масштабные инвестиции Леопольда Ашенбреннера отражают постоянный высокий спрос на новые технологии производства чипов, поскольку потребности разработчиков искусственного интеллекта в вычислительной мощности растут с каждым днем. Однако эта инвестиция также показывает, что Situational Awareness уже сформировала высокую концентрацию рисков перед тем, как ее публичные технологические активы столкнулись с резкими колебаниями, а фонд подвергся значительному финансовому давлению.

The Tether AI research team announced the open-source release of the TurboQuant production version and its integration into the QVAC SDK 0.12.0.TurboQuant is based on a memory compression algorithm from Google Research, which can compress the KV cache of AI runtime by up to 5 times while maintaining output quality close to that of uncompressed models.This means that laptops, mobile phones, and edge devices can handle longer conversations, larger files, and more complex tasks without the need to upload data to the cloud.This open-source release includes a complete quantization pipeline, mainstream inference framework adapters, and developer documentation, aimed at developers and startups deploying AI on consumer-grade hardware, edge devices, and peer-to-peer networks.

Paradigm officially announced the open-sourcing of Centaur, a self-hosted AI Agent Runtime developed jointly by Paradigm and Tempo that supports multi-user collaboration and secure operation. Paradigm stated that since January of this year, the fund has been using Centaur internally, which has completely transformed the way the team works, covering various task scenarios such as investment, engineering, design, recruitment, events, and customer service.Centaur can be understood as a "shared Agent" that can call tools, run continuously for hours or even days, continue working after a system restart, and perform operations using real credentials without ever touching the raw secrets. Users can communicate with it via Slack or call it through an API.

According to informed sources, U.S. President Trump is expected to issue an executive order aimed at strengthening cybersecurity for artificial intelligence as early as Thursday and has invited leaders from the tech industry to attend the signing event. Media reports previously indicated that the order Trump is expected to sign will modify the existing cybersecurity information sharing program to include artificial intelligence companies, but it will not require federal approval for cutting-edge models.Instead, the order will call for voluntary testing of cutting-edge artificial intelligence systems by the government to identify and patch vulnerabilities in federal, state, and local networks as well as critical infrastructure in the U.S., without the need for extensive new regulations. Informed sources stated that invitations have been sent to several tech industry executives to attend the signing ceremony at the White House on Thursday, but it is currently unclear who will attend.

According to GoPlus monitoring, the hacker group TeamPCP claims to have obtained the source code from about 4,000 private repositories within GitHub and is selling it for $50,000 on underground forums, offering sample verification. If no one buys it, this batch of data may be publicly released for free later.Previously, GitHub officials confirmed that they are investigating the issue of "unauthorized access to internal repositories," suspecting that malicious VS Code/AI Coding plugins were installed on GitHub employee devices.

Chainalysis posted on the X platform that before the theft of THORChain, wallets suspected to be associated with the attacker had been transferring funds through Monero, Hyperliquid, and THORChain for several weeks. The attacker-associated wallets had already deposited into Hyperliquid positions via the Hyperliquid and Monero privacy bridge as early as the end of April. The funds were then exchanged for USDC and transferred to Arbitrum, and later bridged to Ethereum, with some ETH subsequently transferred to THORChain to become staked RUNE for newly added nodes, which are believed to be the source of the attack.Afterward, the attacker bridged some RUNE back to Ethereum and split it into four pathways, one of which went directly to the attacker. After being transferred through intermediate wallets, 8 ETH was sent to the final wallet receiving the stolen funds 43 minutes before the attack. The funds from the other three pathways flowed in the opposite direction. These wallets bridged ETH back to Arbitrum, deposited it into Hyperliquid, and transferred it into Monero through the same privacy bridge, with the last transaction occurring less than 5 hours before the attack began.As of Friday afternoon, the stolen funds have not yet been used, but the attacker has demonstrated their skilled cross-chain money laundering capabilities, and the Hyperliquid to Monero path may become the next move.

According to CoinDesk, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson stated that the removal of Section 604 of the CLARITY Act could lead to open-source developers facing long-term legal liability for others' use of their code.He pointed out that after developers release open-source software, even if someone later abuses the code without consent, the developers could still be permanently held accountable, and he claimed this would pose a serious threat to the open-source innovation environment.

According to five sources familiar with the Bank of Japan's thinking, it is unlikely that the Bank of Japan will raise interest rates next week. The diminishing hope for a quick end to the Middle East conflict has left Japan's economic and price outlook still full of uncertainty. Although the final decision still carries some uncertainty and will depend on the progress of peace negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, the aforementioned sources stated that the central bank is inclined to maintain the status quo this month to allow more time to assess the impact of this conflict.One source said, "Given the current level of uncertainty, the Bank of Japan may consider it feasible to maintain the status quo this month." Another source expressed the same view. A third source stated that the Bank of Japan is unlikely to raise interest rates because the market has already fully priced in the possibility of no rate hike this month. These sources indicated that even if the Bank of Japan keeps interest rates unchanged next week, given the escalating inflationary pressures, the bank is likely to signal its readiness to raise rates as early as June.
