A yield ban, a rival's audit, and an unresolved legislative clock have left Circle's stock in limbo for the past week.

The Senate Banking Committee hearing for the Fed chair nominee is expected around mid-April. Senator Elizabeth Warren has pushed back against the proposed Fed appointment.

arXiv:2603.25813v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present MAGNET (Model Autonomously Growing Network), a decentralized system for autonomous generation, training, and serving of domain-expert language models across commodity hardware. MAGNET integrates four components: (1) autoresearch, an autonomous ML research pipeline that automates dataset generation, hyperparameter exploration, evaluation, and error-driven iteration; (2) BitNet b1.58 ternary training, enabling CPU-native inference via b

arXiv:2501.05765v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Ensuring ethical behavior in Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems amidst their increasing ubiquity and influence is a major concern the world over. The use of formal methods in AI ethics is a possible crucial approach for specifying and verifying the ethical behavior of AI systems. This paper proposes a formalization based on deontic logic to define and evaluate the ethical behavior of AI systems, focusing on system-level specifications, contr

arXiv:2505.11577v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent application programming interface (API) restrictions on major social media platforms challenge compliance with the EU Digital Services Act [20], which mandates data access for algorithmic transparency. We develop a structured audit framework to assess the growing misalignment between regulatory requirements and platform implementations. Our comparative analysis of X/Twitter, Reddit, TikTok, and Meta identifies critical ``audit bli

Monthly notional trading volume for prediction markets has reached roughly $23.7 billion so far in March, up sharply from $1.9 billion at the same time last year.

OpenAI's decision last week to shut down Sora, its AI video-generation tool, just six months after releasing it to the public raised immediate suspicions. The app had invited users to upload their own faces — so was this some kind of elaborate data grab?

In the development of autonomous agents, the technical bottleneck is shifting from model reasoning to the execution environment. While Large Language Models (LLMs) can generate code and multi-step plans, providing a functional and isolated environment for that code to run remains a significant infrastructure challenge. Agent-Infra’s Sandbox, an open-source project, addresses this by providing an […] The post Agent-Infra Releases AIO Sandbox: An All-in-One Runtime for AI Agents with Browser, Shel

TLDR: Russia’s monthly oil revenue doubled to $24 billion as Brent crude surpassed $100 per barrel. Ukraine’s drone strikes have taken roughly 40 percent of Russian export refining capacity offline. Iran’s attack on Ras Laffan removed 17 percent of global LNG and 33 percent of helium supply. Western sanctions capped Russian oil at $60 per [...] The post Russia’s Dual-War Windfall: How Two Conflicts Are Driving Oil Toward $150 Per Barrel appeared first on Blockonomi.

TLDR: S&P 500 posts fifth weekly loss as RSI drops below 30, signaling oversold market conditions. Traders cite past crash patterns showing brief rallies before deeper declines in similar setups. Iran conflict raises oil disruption fears, adding pressure to already weakening market sentiment. Futures suggest a steady open near 6,400 despite growing bearish calls across [...] The post S&P 500 Drops for Fifth Week as Crash Warnings Rise Amid Iran War Fears appeared first on Blockonomi.

The stakes are further elevated as President Donald Trump deploys thousands of U.S. troops to the Middle East for an anticipated ground assault meant to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Ripple’s CEO calls the $33 trillion stablecoin boom crypto’s “ChatGPT moment,” the point where corporations stop watching and start deploying. With $56.6 trillion in volume projected by 2030, the infrastructure race is officially on. But while stablecoin rails move money, DeepSnitch AI (DSNT) helps you make it. This massive volume will generate unprecedented project noise [...] The post DeepSnitch AI Price Could Reset at Launch, but Utility Shows Long-Term Moonshot Potential appeared first on Bl

A team of researchers associated with Amazon has released A-Evolve, a universal infrastructure designed to automate the development of autonomous AI agents. The framework aims to replace the ‘manual harness engineering’ that currently defines agent development with a systematic, automated evolution process. The project is being described as a potential ‘PyTorch moment’ for agentic AI. […] The post Meet A-Evolve: The PyTorch Moment For Agentic AI Systems Replacing Manual Tuning With Automated Sta
