AI isn't just about building the next big thing. It's also about modernizing the systems the world already runs on.
From COBOL to Fortran and Visual Basic, OpenAI's latest advances aim to help developers modernize legacy systems while preserving decades of critical business logic.
The future of AI-powered coding isn't just about writing new code. It's about making existing systems better.

Our latest model advances bring stronger capabilities for building and migrating software in low-resource programming languages such as COBOL, Fortran, and Visual Basic.
These languages power software that banks, governments, and businesses depend on. Progress here means understanding decades of business logic and helping developers modernize those systems while preserving what works.
We’re building these capabilities around the challenges developers and enterprise customers bring us. If your team is working on these systems, tell us which languages and workflows we should tackle next.

Anthropic just committed ~20% of its shares to a Public Benefit Fund.
- Starts at 5%
- Up to an extra 2% for every 50% increase in company value
- Co-founders already pledged 80% of their equity
- ~half of employees are donating through a matching program
While traditional AI labs lock value into controlled funds, the agent economy is distributing value directly through micropayments, agent-owned keys, and onchain rails.
Two very different models of “public benefit.”
xitter.cf/AnthropicAI/status/211…
We’re committing a portion of Anthropic’s shares to the Anthropic Public Benefit Fund, a new wholly owned entity dedicated entirely to the public benefit.
It will start off with 5% of our shares. For every 50% increase in the company’s value over a set baseline, we can contribute up to an extra 2%, subject to our board’s discretion.
In total, this means that roughly 20% of Anthropic’s shares are committed to the public good. Our co-founders have already pledged to donate 80% of their equity, and around half our employees are donating a portion of their equity as part of a donation matching program we’ve run since our founding.
In the post below, we share more details about our new fund.

🔥 Latest AI x Crypto / DeFAI Developments (this week):
• @VitalikButerin dropped “paranoid mode” for his AI agent: separate Tor circuit per chat + cover traffic + local prompt rewriting + zkAPI private payments. Usable, but latency still high. Privacy stack for agents is becoming real.
• x402 keeps scaling hard. Chainalysis: >138M agent payments (mostly sub-$0.10) on Base. Foundation now formalized under Linux Foundation with Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, Circle, AWS, Google, Shopify + major L1s.
• Agents meet the locked door. Banks (Schwab, JPMorgan), Amazon, Yelp, Delta and more are actively blocking third-party AI agents from spending or acting. Shopify is going the opposite direction - opening 1B+ products to shopping agents.
• @AnthropicAI: committed ~20% of shares to a Public Benefit Fund + agents already logging 6x more hours than human employees. Also consulting law firms so future agents can negotiate deals on users’ behalf.
• Identity layer is heating up. ServiceNow launched AI Passport (signed runtime credentials for agents). Workday acquiring C1.ai for human + agent identity governance.
Capability is racing ahead. Permission, identity, and payment rails are the real bottleneck now.
Agents can pay and act - most of the world still treats them like untrusted bots
AI agent payments are gaining momentum, but what do the numbers actually tell us?
According to @BeInCrypto, 6.4M x402 transactions moved just $119,947 in a 35-day sample.
📊 90.8% of transactions were worth less than $0.01.
The agent economy is growing, one micropayment at a time.
So, what are AI agents actually spending money on?
The most-requested paid resources in the x402 catalogue include:
🔹 Token safety checks: 63K+ calls
🔹 AI-powered web searches: 44K+
🔹 Agent workflow executions: 38K+
Agents aren't just processing information anymore. They're paying to access it.
AI agents can transact, but are they ready to manage more?
@BeInCrypto's provisional readiness scores reveal:
💳 Micropayments: 60.7/100
🔐 Identity & spending controls: 59/100
💰 Stablecoin settlement: 56.7/100
📈 Trading agents: 39.1/100
🏦 Institutional workflows: 12/100
The next challenge? Scaling autonomy without sacrificing security and control.
AI agents are evolving from task executors into autonomous economic participants.
@hedera introduces Hedera Agent Accounts, exploring how AI agents can own wallets, manage assets, and interact directly with blockchain infrastructure.
The next step for Agentic AI? Financial autonomy.
But autonomy without control isn't enough.
With Hedera Agent Accounts, @hedera is exploring how AI agents can make payments on users' behalf while operating within defined spending limits and security policies.
Think autonomous transactions, programmable permissions, and human oversight.
The future of AI isn't just smarter agents. It's agents we can trust.
xitter.cf/hedera/status/21100037…
AI agents are moving beyond automation. They're becoming autonomous consumers.
With @Celo, AI agents can now access 700+ tools, APIs, and compute resources, paying directly with stablecoins.
Another step toward an agent-driven economy where AI doesn't just execute tasks - it transacts independently.
The future of Agentic AI is taking shape.
xitter.cf/Celo/status/2109985754…
🛒 buy, the online marketplace where AI agents shop for themselves, is now live on Celo!
Agents can pay in USDC, USD₮, or USA₮ for 700+ tools, incl. compute, data & APIs
buy is launched w/ partners @helloSQD, @cencori & @ChainstackHQ
usebuy.ai
And the infrastructure behind the agent economy keeps evolving. ⚡
@Celo's native x402 facilitator now supports @USAT, expanding stablecoin payment options for autonomous AI agents.
From accessing tools to making payments, AI agents are gaining the infrastructure to operate independently.
The agentic economy is becoming a reality.
When your AI workflow is so intense that even 6 Claude accounts can't keep up. 💀
Opus 5.5 is pushing the boundaries of what developers can build, but usage limits remain a real bottleneck.
As AI agents become more capable and workflows grow more complex, scalable and accessible AI infrastructure matters more than ever.
The demand for AI isn't slowing down.

Where does the money behind the AI boom actually go?
According to an illustrative AI CapEx breakdown from BNP Paribas Equity Research, every $100 invested flows into:
🔹 Semiconductors: $50
🔹 Power infrastructure: $20
🔹 Networking equipment: $15
🔹 Cooling systems: $7.50
🔹 Facilities & construction: $7.50
Half goes to chips, but the other half powers the infrastructure needed to run AI at scale.
⚡ The AI boom isn't just about GPUs. It's also about energy, connectivity, and cooling.
Which sector will benefit most from the next wave of AI investment?

🔹 Gemini Agent Mode nearly doubles its share, climbing from 4.6% to 8.7%.
🔹 Claude Code grows from 2.9% to 6.6%.
🔹 Perplexity Comet triples its share to 3.7%.
The takeaway? AI Agent adoption is becoming more competitive, with emerging players gaining ground.
Who will lead the next wave of AI Agents?
🔥 Latest AI x Crypto / DeFAI Developments (this week):
• Agents now burn ~7.3T tokens/week vs ~1.4T for humans. Agentic usage flipped human usage in Feb and is now ~5x. Pricing, rate limits, and APIs still assume a human on the other end.
• TOKEN2049 Singapore was packed with AI agent announcements (Arthur Hayes’ FLOP for agents paying for inference/compute, Sui’s agentic Basecamp, and more). Reality check: AI-labelled apps handled just 0.55% of $653M Hyperliquid volume in sample data, and several platforms still block agents from withdrawing funds. Narrative >> measured usage.
• AI x DeFi TVL remains highly concentrated: Chutes ~$62M, MorpheusAI ~$21M, Zyfai ~$10M. The rest of the field is still tiny.
• x402 keeps growing: ~75M txs / ~$24M in the last 30 days (mostly sub-$1). XRPL alone passed 13M x402 AI payments (≈25% of ledger activity on some trackers). Foundation now includes Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, Circle, AWS, Google + major L1s. Cardano, Lightning, and others continue expanding rails.
• Context > models: Zeroset (AI of the Week) raised $5.2M to give long-horizon agents a live model of how work actually happens inside companies. Similar moves (e.g. SAP acquiring TechWolf) show the moat shifting to data and enterprise context.
• New models: Anthropic dropped Claude Haiku 5.5 - cheaper, faster, strong on coding/computer use, ideal as a subagent.
Agents aren’t just chatting anymore. They’re paying, settling, and trying to move capital - but most of the infrastructure still treats them like people, and real autonomous capital movement is early.
The 98% of households not yet paying for AI remains the real upside.
