Alibaba Cloud is partnering with @Theta_Network EdgeCloud to bring Qwen AI models to Web3-native developers worldwide. This milestone integration extends our frontier AI models, including Qwen3.8-Max and Qwen3.8-Flash, to a decentralized GPU compute network. We are empowering developers with greater flexibility, distributed infrastructure, and direct access to enterprise-grade AI.

ZAN is a Web3 and AI infrastructure brand under Ant Digital Technologies, delivering secure, scalable, and high-performance services to power business innovation. ZAN and @Theta_Network have formed a deep strategic partnership this year across both Web3 and AI. From underlying blockchain networks to decentralized cloud compute, we are jointly building the core foundation for next-generation digital applications. Our collaboration began in Web3 this June. ZAN officially joined Theta Network as a strategic enterprise validator node, staking $THETA to participate in transaction validation, block production, and on-chain governance. Enterprise validators are the backbone of Theta's consensus layer. By bringing enterprise-grade infrastructure capabilities, ZAN ensures Theta's decentralized network operates with superior reliability and stability. In September, we extended our partnership from Web3 into AI. Through ZAN Router, Ling-3.0-flash-Fin, a financial LLM from Ant Ling, went live on Theta EdgeCloud. This enables enterprises to seamlessly route, monitor, and scale AI integrations, while giving developers direct access to professional tools for financial research, analytics, and agentic workflows. From Web3 to AI, this is just the beginning. We look forward to deeper collaboration as we continue to push boundaries across both frontiers. Whether fortifying Web3 infrastructure or accelerating AI innovation, ZAN and Theta empower builders to simply build.

The core step of a quantum attack on Bitcoin and Ethereum now fits in under 900 logical qubits within Google's gate budget. In three published attack designs, the machine would shrink by zero to about 28%. On October 13, Jieyi Long of Theta Labs posted an 893-qubit circuit to ECDSA Fail, an open benchmark for the point addition that Shor's algorithm repeats to recover a private key. A day later he posted an 874-qubit version. Both stay below the 1,175 qubits and 2.7 million Toffoli gates Google proved for its own circuit in March. Narrower circuits exist, down to 676 qubits, but all of them exceed Google's gate count. The 676-qubit one needs about 150 times as many. Pierre-Luc Dallaire-Demers, a co-author of the ECDSA Fail paper, put the physical saving at 25% for the IonQ, Oratomic and Google attack designs. I checked each one. - Google: about a quarter, if every part of the machine shrank with the qubit count. - Oratomic: nothing with its published codes, and at most 16% with a code sized for 893 qubits. - IonQ: about 28% fewer ions, but longer attempts, because the circuit needs about 1.6 times IonQ's Toffoli gates per addition. Nobody has compiled a full attack around either circuit yet. postquantum.com/security-pqc… #QuantumComputing #PostQuantumCryptography #PQC #QuantumSecurity #Cryptography #Bitcoin #Ethereum #Cybersecurity
