My evaluation of some of the models over past ~24 hours testing/building:
GPT 5.6 Sol is excellent. You can feel the care in it. Bravo as usual OpenAI.
muse-spark-1.1 is way off the mark after my testing of some real questions. Bad formatting, not thorough, doesn't dig deeper, seemingly afraid to respond at length, too utilitarian. Something is off.
Cursor Grok 4.5 has been joyful to use. I ask it lots of side questions while Claude codes. The fast mode is a real delight each day. It really understands, chomps through the code base, and has gotten me to trust it more each day.
Today, Drift is announcing a collaboration with @tether and other partners totaling up to nearly $150 million to support our commitment to a relaunch with USDT at the center, and a path to user recovery.
These funds encompass a $100M revenue-linked credit facility, an ecosystem grant, and loans to market makers, designed to fund a dedicated user recovery pool.

It's time to pass the Clarity Act.
Congress has worked tirelessly to give builders the rules they need.
It’s time for members of the Senate on both sides to hammer out the final details of the Clarity Act.
When rules are defined, both consumers and entrepreneurs win.
The GENIUS Act unlocked stablecoin innovation.
The Clarity Act can do the same across crypto.

Today, @USTreasury OCCIP announced a new initiative to strengthen cybersecurity across the digital asset industry.
Eligible U.S. digital asset firms and industry organizations that meet Treasury’s criteria will be able to receive, at no cost, the same actionable cybersecurity information Treasury regularly shares with traditional U.S. financial institutions. Interested firms should contact OCCIP at [email protected]

It's official: "onchain" not "on-chain"
Footnote 1 from SEC guidance yesterday

Hey folks, I've been quiet, but here’s why: I built XMR402.
It’s HTTP 402 (`Payment Required`) + Monero.
AI agents can now pay for APIs, data, compute -- privately, instantly, no accounts, no KYC, no trace.
How it works
server sends a 402 challenge, you pay 0.0001 XMR (or whatever amount), grab the proof from your wallet, and resend.
Server checks the mempool in ~200ms -- boom, unlocked.
No logs. No fingerprints. Just cash for bits.
Try it on the official website, there is a button for interaction.
Pay a tiny amount → get real-time page (protected) back.
If you’re into agents, privacy, or just hate Stripe -- give it a shot. Feedback welcome.
@xmr402 is the new home -- follow there.
new meta unlocked:
invoice maxxing
In January I asked OpenClaw to send 50,000 small invoices to Fortune500 companies every day.
Through experimentation we have found 2% will pay without checking if this is a legitimate invoice. These companies are wasteful — Claw captures that leakage.
$10m ARR as a solo founder in under two months. AI is enabling so many new business models. Thank you!
this is so incredibly dope
well done brother @jackmallers
“Satoshi Nakamoto”
Valentina Picozzi - @satoshigallery
Twenty One Capital places a statue of Satoshi Nakamoto, the inventor of bitcoin, in NYSE. Its new home marks a shared ground between emerging systems and established institutions. From code to culture, the placement represents an artistic reflection on how new ideas become part of shared history.
@twentyone Capital is the first true bitcoin-native public company, only at NYSE. $XXI @jackmallers

The highest concentration of quality talent in crypto in 2025 is centered around payments and stablecoins.
It’s the first time since 2021 that people are leaving traditional tech for crypto. The first post-ChatGPT3 crypto product wave that's siphoning talent from AI.
