Meet Mistral Large 4, aka Le Chonk. • 1T parameters, natively multimodal. 49B active. It is the best open weights model from US or Europe on aggregated benchmarks. • State-of-the-art on critical workloads, including cyber defense, manufacturing and finance and it surpasses closed frontier models on visual grounding. • Forged in Europe end-to-end and is deployable from Europe via our own Mistral Cloud infrastructure. • Available to all via API today. Working with cybersecurity partners privately. Open weights release end of October.

🚨 Codex Users!!! OpenAI may be preparing a new Astra model GPT-6-Astra “Light” could be a smaller, cheaper version of Astra rather than a new flagship. Honestly, that’s not what Codex users are asking for. We need a serious high-end model that can actually compete with Opus 5.5 and Fable. OpenAI, stop playing it safe. We want the flagship. We want the powerhouse. Give us the model that changes the game.

🚨 GPT-6.1 Sol (Launch) vs GPT-6.1 Sol (Today) OpenAI is not Nerfing their models this time They’re clearly still improving the modela after launch Even our Astra test yesterday showed the same thing, the quality was getting better OpenAI is improving these models instead of nerfing them

$BTC's paper gains are the biggest since January, and still a long way from a top. Net Unrealised Profit/Loss sits at 0.38, inside optimism, while past peaks formed nearer 0.5 and above. More holders in profit means fewer forced sellers, with room before they cash out.

NEW: Crypto exchange OKX has raised new funding at a $25 billion valuation from Qube Research & Technologies, Circle, Ripple, and Standard Chartered's SC Ventures, Bloomberg reported. OKX did not disclose the amount raised, which extends an approximate $200 million March funding round at the same valuation.

Our clinical trial participants have now used their Neuralink implants for over 50,000 hours, building one of the largest datasets of intracortical neural activity ever. We used it to pretrain a foundation model for BCI: self-supervised neural encoders that turn noisy, drifting spikes into stable representations. Some initial results: • Decoders that keep working for weeks instead of days. For some users, calibration dropped from 10 min/day to 10 min/week • Teleporting cursors that jump straight to the intended target • A new cursor-control record of 11.32 bits per second (exceeding the performance of most able-bodied people) We’re just getting started. Future directions include pooling data across participants, one-shot (or zero-shot) calibration, and an API for the motor cortex. Read more: neuralink.com/updates/pretra…

🚨 fable 5.5 Leaks: Beats Opus 5.5 > Fable 5.5 is already be secretly rolling out > Fable 5.5 appeared in Anthropic’s docs > Some users are being silently routed to Fable 5.5 while the UI still says Fable 5.1 > The first demos are showing a major jump in capability > Early tests it is outperforming Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Astra on some tasks > Anthropic may be testing the model with a limited group before a wider release > A public launch could potentially happen as soon as possible Are we actually days away from Fable 5.5?

We are officially entering V3 mode

Blast will be shutting down. We launched Blast with the goal of building a self-sustaining chain for users and developers. Unfortunately, the economics of operating the chain no longer make sense: the ongoing costs of maintaining Blast exceed the revenue generated by the L2, and we do not see a credible path to making the chain economically sustainable. As a result, we've made the difficult decision to wind Blast down. We're sorry to the users and developers who believed in Blast, built on it, and supported the ecosystem. Our priority now is making the shutdown as smooth and safe as possible. We're asking all users to withdraw their assets from Blast to Ethereum mainnet, including any balances held in the Blast PWA. To make this easier, we will be reducing the withdrawal delay to 24 hours. As part of the shutdown process, we'll first begin withdrawing Blast's Lido assets. This process is expected to take approximately one week. During this period, withdrawals will temporarily be unavailable, even after the withdrawal delay is reduced to 24 hours. Once that process is complete, withdrawals will resume with the new 24-hour delay. Users will have until October 26, 2026 to withdraw through the normal Blast interface. After October 26, assets will remain withdrawable, but users will need to interact directly with the Blast bridge contracts on Ethereum L1. We'll publish detailed instructions before then. We strongly encourage everyone to withdraw their assets to Ethereum mainnet before October 26.

A $BTC daily close above 86,600 would be strong Close above 87,400 would be astronomically bullish
