The Curious Case of Believe’s Pretentious Founder
“Pasternak ran the same play three times, under three different token names: generate excitement, bring consumers in, collect fees, and let the token collapse.”
Code Generation Gets a Boost: Diffusion Models Weather Quantization Better Than Rivals
New research reveals that diffusion-based language models demonstrate superior resilience to performance loss when compressed using quantization techniques, opening doors for efficient code generation on limited hardware.
SBF Withdraws Retrial Bid: Is This the End of His Crypto Empire?
As a researcher following the FTX case, I’ve learned that Sam Bankman-Fried has decided to stop pursuing a new criminal trial for now. He’s still planning to appeal his conviction, but he’s put the request for a new trial on hold.

KelpDAO Hacker Swaps $175M ETH for Bitcoin in 36 Hours via THORChain
KelpDAO Hacker Converts $175M in ETH to Bitcoin After hackers exploited KelpDAO, they quickly transferred $175 million worth of ETH (75,700 units) and almost immediately exchanged it for Bitcoin within 36 hours. They primarily used THORChain, a system that allows direct ETH-to-BTC swaps without needing a middleman. This activity caused a huge spike in THORChain’s … Read more
TRON’s Surprising Leap Into LI.FI: The Cross-Chain Cash Cow You’ve Been Ignoring!
Enter LI.FI, the multichain liquidity aggregator, which handles cross-chain bridging and swapping with all the elegance of a Russian ballet dancer pirouetting through a fog of uncertainty. Now, with TRON integrated into its orchestration layer, developers can waltz right through TRON’s liquidity without breaking a sweat or managing a separate bridge integration. Users of applications built on this protocol can now swap stablecoins in and out of TRON as easily as one might flip a blini on a Sunday morning.
When AI Loses Its Voice: Decoding the Limits of Model Compression
New research reveals that shrinking large language models isn’t always a straightforward trade-off, exposing two fundamentally different ways these systems can break down.
