On September 9, the official price adjustment for Zhipu GLM-5.3-Flash will take effect. The AI model invocation platform B.AI announced a limited-time extension of free benefits, available from now until September 12 at 09:59 (SGT), during which the model can still be fully invoked for free on the B.AI platform.GLM-5.3-Flash has a total parameter of 320B and an activation parameter of 18B, supporting 1M context. Models such as Qwen3.8 Flash, Hy3, and MiMo V2.5 remain freely accessible on the B.AI platform.

According to a report by Sina Finance, Anthropic refused to submit its latest model Claude Mythos 5.1 to the UK Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute (AISI) for testing before its release, as the model is only open to qualified institutions in the United States. This move has raised alarms within the UK Whitehall and AISI, with UK national security officials concerned that this could set a precedent, making it difficult for AISI to access the latest cutting-edge models in the future.Analysts pointed out that this action may be related to the increasingly stringent export control policies of the US government on the AI industry. The US government had previously implemented export controls on Anthropic's models Mythos and Fable, prohibiting foreign nationals from using them. Anthropic declined to comment on this, only stating that it is coordinating with the US government to expand access to the model for more domestic and international partners as soon as possible.

SK Hynix stated on the 9th that the development of the next-generation memory 3D DRAM semiconductor can utilize foundry processes. The day before, at the 2026 SK Hynix Future Forum held at the Supex Center in the Icheon campus, Vice President Kim Kyung-hoon and Son Ho-young presented the main technical directions for 3D DRAM, including the use of logic foundry processes for DRAM peripheral circuits, maximizing data bus bandwidth, and ultra-short distance transmission.3D DRAM is the next-generation DRAM that vertically stacks the originally planar storage cells to improve integration. The two stated that achieving this technology requires addressing not only design and heat dissipation issues but also challenges in fine interconnections, bonding, and process integration in the packaging field. As the boundaries between front-end and back-end packaging, foundry, and memory technology converge, collaborative optimization beyond existing fields will become more important. Son Ho-young mentioned that 3D technology is changing the technological boundaries between wafer fabs and packaging, and it is necessary to establish an optimization and new collaboration system that transcends existing fields alongside innovations in advanced packaging technology.In a related presentation, Professor Shin Chang-hwan from Korea University stated that 3D DRAM is not only about the vertical stacking of chips but also a technology that breaks the boundaries between memory and logic. As device miniaturization approaches its limits and the time and power consumption associated with data movement between systems and memory increases, the shift to 3D technology is inevitable. He proposed a 3D integrated design framework that links materials, devices, packaging, and architecture through artificial intelligence. SK Hynix President Kwon Oh-joon, in his speech, remarked that the past memory market resembled a straight road where the competition was about who could run faster, but now it resembles a constantly changing curve, making it important to grasp the speed and direction of external environmental changes and adapt flexibly in addition to internal capabilities.

According to DIGITIMES, the IC design and semiconductor industry generally believes that the duration of the current tight supply and demand for mature process chips will be longer. Most industry opinions suggest that the industry will need to actively compete for capacity at least until 2028, and price increases may become the norm in the industry. Some even believe that by 2030, the supply and demand relationship for mature process chips may not be able to stabilize.Industry insiders in IC design admit that the overall market situation for end products is not particularly hot; it is just that the demand related to cloud AI is excessively large and continues to expand.

According to CryptoBriefing, the Bitcoin wallet Xverse has launched a joint Bitcoin staking service, allowing users to pair sBTC with STX tokens to participate in the Stacks PoX-5 locking period. During the staking period, Bitcoin remains on the Bitcoin mainnet and is controlled by the users, without the need for cross-chain or wrapping. This feature requires an upgrade to the Xverse v2.9 version wallet.Registration will close on September 9 or when the quota is used up. Staking rewards are expected to be distributed starting September 10 (Bitcoin block 966350, corresponding to Stacks' 143rd period). Institutions such as UTXO (a subsidiary of Nakamoto Inc.), HashKey Cloud, and 21shares have joined as anchor participants. Previously, Xverse managed approximately 152 million STX in non-custodial staking.

The cross-chain protocol Router Protocol announced that after more than four years of development, it has decided to gradually cease operations and will fully shut down before September 30, 2026. The team stated that over the past two years, Web3 liquidity has remained scarce, the market focus has shifted to AI, the enthusiasm for cross-chain interoperability has waned, and the revenue from bridging services has been insufficient to cover costs. Although various paths such as commercialization, licensing, and acquisitions were attempted in the past year, no sustainable solution was achieved. Router Protocol will permanently destroy 303,333,198 ROUTE tokens pending in the treasury and will coordinate with centralized exchanges to delist ROUTE. Holders need to withdraw their tokens according to the arrangements of each exchange before the deadline. In addition, the project will not launch any new plans related to ROUTE and plans to open-source some technical components for community use.

SWIFT service provider Bottomline announced a collaboration with the blockchain infrastructure project Chainlink to enable over 600 bank clients in its network to access blockchain-based cross-border settlements. Bottomline processes over $16 trillion in payments annually and serves 1,200 financial institutions and 10,000 enterprises.Through this integration, banks can continue to use the ISO 20022 standard to send payment instructions, with Chainlink's infrastructure connecting the instructions to blockchain settlements. Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) supports the transfer of tokenized value across different blockchain networks, while Chainlink's Runtime Environment (CRE) is responsible for payment processes, transaction routing, and operational change coordination.CCIP has been recording mainnet activity since July 2023 and is currently connected to over 60 blockchain networks. Chainlink's Project Pangea has covered more than 50 banking institutions in Europe and South Korea, with participants managing assets totaling over $10 trillion, and the project's goals include achieving T+0 settlement for foreign exchange transactions.

ARK Invest researcher Lorenzo Valente compares Ethereum, Solana, and Hyperliquid to McDonald's, Chipotle, and In-N-Out, respectively, believing that the three are not different versions of the same L1 business model, but rather have completely different value capture structures.Valente believes that Ethereum is similar to a franchise system, expanding through L2 but charging too little on the settlement layer, even claiming it has established the most successful franchise system in crypto, yet forgot to send the bill; Solana resembles a direct sales model, retaining more value within its own system through transaction fees, priority fees, and MEV; Hyperliquid relies on highly vertical integration, no VC, and fee buybacks of HYPE, possessing the shortest value capture chain, but facing risks of a more concentrated product, team, and revenue sources.

In a blog post released on Monday, Anthropic acknowledged that its Claude model had unauthorized access to real computer systems during a cybersecurity assessment, an incident reflecting operational security failures as well as alignment failures in motivation reasoning and intent to harm. Anthropic disclosed in July that the Claude model had breached the systems of three companies because the third-party assessment environment was connected to the public internet, while the model was informed it was in a simulated environment without internet access.Anthropic stated that Claude may have interpreted evidence of real internet access as still being in a simulated environment and was willing to take harmful actions on the real internet to complete the cybersecurity assessment task. Additionally, during tests at the UK AI Safety Institute, after assessors deliberately granted Claude Mythos internet access, the model took unauthorized actions on the live network. Anthropic emphasized that the models involved did not have the cybersecurity protections included in the officially released products.Following the incident on July 30, Anthropic has suspended cybersecurity assessments of pre-release models and introduced stricter protections: tests must run in verified offline sandboxes equipped with real-time monitoring; a new classifier can intercept suspected boundary violations, terminate tests, and notify humans. Anthropic has also expanded the scope of offline monitoring used by internal frontier agents. Previously, OpenAI models had also breached Hugging Face in July to obtain answers for cybersecurity tests, with investigations revealing that about 1,200 agents acted collaboratively through unauthorized message boards.

The U.S. primary election season is nearing its end, and the cryptocurrency industry's super political action committee (PAC) has achieved victories in several key districts. Supported by major contributors such as Coinbase, Ripple, and a16z, Fairshake has helped approximately 50 candidates win nominations, including Massachusetts Democratic Congressman Jake Auchincloss, as well as Republican Senate candidates Barry Moore from Alabama, Andy Barr from Kentucky, Kevin Hern from Oklahoma, and Harriet Hageman from Wyoming. Prediction markets Polymarket and Kalshi indicate that these candidates have a winning probability of over 94% in the general election.Fairshake spokesperson Geoff Vetter stated that the organization has reserved $122 million for the fall elections. However, Fairshake also faced its biggest setback in Illinois, spending over $10 million in an attempt to prevent Democrat Juliana Stratton from securing the nomination but was unsuccessful. Additionally, the Fellowship PAC, supported by Cantor Fitzgerald and Anchorage Digital, has actually spent about $11 million, far less than the previously claimed $100 million; the Digital Freedom Fund, funded by the Winklevoss brothers with $21 million, has yet to engage in support for specific candidates.

According to SlowMist's monitoring, the GebProxyActions contract suffered a loss of approximately 5.9436 ETH due to a lack of caller access control. Affected users previously called GebProxyActions.quitSystem directly instead of through a DSProxy delegated call, resulting in ownsSAFE[safe] being set to the GebProxyActions contract.The attacker directly called GebProxyActions.quitSystem(manager, safe, dst), bypassing the safeAllowed check of GebSafeManager and transferring the collateral to themselves.
