Bitcoin Miners Emerge as Unlikely Power Brokers in AI Infrastructure Race, Says Bernstein

As Google and Blackstone move to establish a new AI cloud venture, an unexpected group of players stands to benefit: Bitcoin miners. The Wall Street Journal reported late Monday that Google and Blackstone are planning to create a joint AI cloud company that would deploy Google's custom chip technology, with Blackstone committing $5 billion in equity and retaining a majority stake. The announcement sent analysts scrambling to identify who holds the real leverage in an AI buildout increasingly co...

Bitcoin Faces Greater Quantum Computing Risk Than Ethereum, Citi Warns

As quantum computing advances faster than expected, a fault line is emerging in the crypto world: Bitcoin may be significantly more vulnerable than Ethereum—and the difference has less to do with code than with politics. In a research note published this week, Citi analysts warned that recent breakthroughs have shortened the timeline for practical quantum attacks on digital assets. Their conclusion is that not all blockchains will be equally prepared when that threat arrives. Bitcoin's exposure...

This Open-Source Phone AI Agent Sees, Hears and Acts—All Without Touching the Cloud

Your phone already has a camera, a microphone, and a screen. It can see what you're looking at in real life and what's happening on its own display. And now, the AI team from Chinese smartphone manufacturer Oppo has figured out that all that hardware that sits there, mostly underused, is exactly what you need to build a genuinely useful mobile AI agent. That project is X-OmniClaw, published by the Multi-X Team. It's an open-source AI agent framework for Android that turns your phone into a ha...

Elon Musk Loses $150 Billion AI Lawsuit Against OpenAI and Sam Altman

Elon Musk’s latest legal challenge against OpenAI has collapsed in court, clearing one of the biggest legal threats facing the ChatGPT maker as competition in artificial intelligence intensifies. A California jury on Monday rejected Musk’s $150 billion lawsuit against OpenAI, CEO Sam Altman, and co-founder Greg Brockman, according to NBC News. Jurors ultimately decided that Musk waited too long to bring claims accusing OpenAI’s leadership of improperly profiting from the organization that Musk...

Ethereum Founder Vitalik Buterin Says AI Verification Could Help Secure Crypto Networks

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said that mathematically verified software is becoming essential to protecting Ethereum and the broader cryptocurrency industry from AI-assisted cyberattacks and software vulnerabilities. In a blog post published on Monday, Buterin argued that AI-assisted “formal verification” could help secure blockchain networks, smart contracts, and cryptographic systems against software flaws that can expose users to irreversible financial losses. “If done right, this has...
