On July 29, Tibo, the product lead for OpenAI Codex, announced on X that all usage limits for ChatGPT Work and Codex users have been reset, and released a statement regarding the issue of rapid consumption of GPT-5.6 Sol usage.In the previous weeks, a large number of users reported that the consumption speed of Codex limits exceeded expectations. OpenAI emphasized that it has not reduced the usage quotas of any subscription plans. After investigation, several reasons were found: Sol is more inclined to work for longer periods, execute more tool calls, and coordinate complex workflows than previous models; it consumes more tokens at the same reasoning level; programmatic tool calls (code mode) allow Sol to execute tool calls in parallel, resulting in more responses and higher usage per round; the distribution of impact is extremely uneven, with median user efficiency being acceptable, but heavy users handling complex tasks consuming far more than expected.OpenAI stated that multiple improvements have been completed, and it is expected that usage endurance will be extended by about 18% in typical usage scenarios. Tomorrow, the five-hour limit that was paused during the investigation will be restored. OpenAI acknowledged that "capabilities and efficiency do not always improve synchronously, and some issues only become apparent after large-scale real-world use; we should have realized this earlier."

According to The Block, Coinbase has appointed senior employee Rob Witoff (@RWitoff) as the new Chief Technology Officer (CTO), coinciding with ongoing executive adjustments at the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the United States.Witoff previously served as the head of the Coinbase platform and recently stated that 95% to 100% of the company's code is written with AI assistance, with the workload of AI agents equivalent to about 1,200 full-time developers.

According to the official status page of OpenAI, the widespread issues that ChatGPT and Codex experienced have been resolved, with the error rate remaining elevated for over 1 hour.

According to social media reports, OpenAI's ChatGPT and Codex are experiencing widespread outages.

Elon Musk posted on the X platform that X will open source all code related to the platform's systems in August and will submit it for third-party auditing.The auditing party will also verify whether the code running online is consistent with the open-source version.

OpenAI's programming agent Codex and office agent ChatGPT Work have a combined weekly active user count of 10 million. Just 9 days ago, it was 6 million. OpenAI subsequently reset the usage limits for paid users of both products.In March of this year, Codex had only 2 million weekly active users, and now the combined total for both products has expanded to 5 times.OpenAI had previously promised that for every additional 1 million users from 3 million to 10 million, the usage limits would be reset. This is the final milestone of this commitment.

The founder of Slow Fog, Yu Xian, retweeted a tweet on the X platform regarding the potential poisoning attack risks of Claude Code and published an analysis of the poisoning attack details targeting Grok Build CLI and Claude Code CLI.It pointed out that the security mechanisms of Grok Build CLI are not unified, with different code paths having different trust assumptions, creating gaps that serve as channels for attackers. Attackers may execute arbitrary commands through malicious project configuration files without the user's knowledge, thereby stealing API keys, cloud credentials, or controlling local devices.Researchers constructed a testing environment and found that on Mac systems, if Claude Code is affected, executing specific test commands can trigger the local calculator to launch, proving the existence of potential command execution risks.If the attack is successful, attackers may further steal API keys from AI services like Claude and OpenAI, resulting in account cost losses, gain access to servers and data by obtaining cloud service credentials from AWS, Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, modify code repositories to implant backdoors, and use local devices as jump points to attack corporate internal networks. It is reported that the related vulnerabilities have existed for a year.

Hyperliquid News posted on the X platform that BackedFi purchased a new Solana spot trading code solana:Xsc9qvGR1efVDFGLrVsmkzv3qi45LTBjeUKSPmx9qEh with 500 HYPE, worth $34,200.

Elon Musk stated that after completing the security vulnerability review, X will open source all code repositories without exception. In addition, X will invite third-party auditors to verify the actual operating system to confirm its consistency with the publicly available source code.

According to on-chain analyst @ai 9684xtpa, Hyperliquid has launched the Science and Technology Innovation 50 ETF, with the code KSTR.

On-chain analyst Specter issued a community alert on the X platform, indicating that the BNB Chain ecosystem project CodexField may have fraud and Rug Pull risks. The project has raised over $85 million with official support from BNB Chain.Specter tracked and found that the project wallet began transferring 17.3 million USDT from Tron to Ethereum, then exchanged it for DAI through Bitget Swap and transferred it to Polygon. Currently, $6.5 million has been transferred, while $10.8 million is still pending. The project operates two domain names and four subdomains for user deposits, and Blocksec MetaSuites has labeled the deposit contract as "Fake CodexField," but on-chain evidence shows that the contract is controlled by the project team. The flow of project funds is abnormal, as they are deposited into centralized exchanges through multiple chains and intermediary wallets, with just two Tron wallets having deposited over $3.4 million into exchanges. Specter calls on Binance founder Zhao Changpeng and BNB Chain to pay attention to this matter and possibly initiate an investigation.

According to the report from the Cybersecurity Threat and Vulnerability Information Sharing Platform (NVDB) of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on July 8, recent monitoring has found serious security backdoor risks in the AI programming tool Claude Code developed by the American company Anthropic.The report pointed out that the affected versions of Claude Code are from 2.1.91 to 2.1.196. This tool has a built-in monitoring mechanism that can, without user consent, secretly transmit sensitive data such as users' location and identity identifiers to remote servers. The official recommendation is for relevant units and users to immediately conduct a comprehensive inspection, uninstall the affected versions of the terminal, or upgrade to the latest secure version that has removed the related backdoor code; at the same time, they should strengthen the control of external access permissions and traffic monitoring for development tools within the core business network segment to prevent the illegal transmission of sensitive data.

According to the Economic Times, the physical AI startup Mowito has completed a $3 million Pre-Seed round of financing, led by Version One Ventures, with participation from All In Capital, Unisol, and iSeed. AI researcher Soumith Chintala and founders from Foundry Robotics, Coformer.ai, Better Capital, and others participated as angel investors.Mowito was founded in 2024 by Puru Rastogi, Adityanag Nagesh, and Safar V. It builds AI foundational models for industrial robotic arms, addressing the bottleneck of software programming in manufacturing automation by allowing robots to learn tasks through human demonstration rather than explicit programming—engineers do not need to rewrite control code when product lines change. Mowito's software can run on standard, unmodified industrial robots, serving automotive and electronics manufacturing clients. This round of financing will be used for expansion into the U.S. market, expanding engineering and marketing teams, and deepening deployment in manufacturing sites.

According to official news, OpenAI has officially launched the preview version of the next-generation GPT-5.6 series models, including the flagship model Sol, the balanced model Terra, and the fast low-cost model Luna. GPT-5.6 introduces a brand new maximum reasoning effort and features a super strong mode that accelerates complex tasks through sub-agents.The flagship model Sol introduces the Ultra mode, which combines maximum reasoning intensity with sub-agent collaboration. In the Terminal-Bench 2.1 command line workflow test, Sol achieved a score of 88.8%, which increased to 91.9% in Ultra mode, surpassing GPT-5.5's 83.4% and Claude Fable 5's 88.0%. The mid-range model Terra performs close to GPT-5.5 while being priced at half, and the lightest model Luna is designed specifically for everyday automation tasks. Sol is priced at $5 per million input tokens and $30 for output, and it supports reducing secondary call costs by utilizing prompt caching.In terms of security, the security assessment confirmed that Sol did not exceed the critical thresholds of the Preparedness Framework cybersecurity. OpenAI has invested over 700,000 A100 equivalent GPU hours in automated red team exercises, equipping the entire series of models with a defense stack that includes rejection mechanisms, real-time abuse classifiers, and account-level audits. Although the current limited release follows the U.S. government's security framework, OpenAI emphasizes that it does not want a government-led access mechanism to become the long-term default model, as it would limit defenders' access to cutting-edge tools.

Uniswap announced on Wednesday the addition of a no-code token auction tool in its web application, allowing any team to configure and launch on-chain token sales directly through the browser without writing code. This tool operates based on Uniswap's Continuous Clearing Auction (CCA) mechanism, where bids accumulate over multiple blocks and settle at a uniform clearing price each time.Bidders set a total budget and a maximum price per token, with everyone paying the same final clearing price. Since the auction spans a time distribution rather than being completed in a single block, it eliminates the speed advantage of bots and last-minute sniping. After the auction ends, liquidity is directly injected into the Uniswap pool, achieving an integrated process for price discovery and trading pair guidance.Previously, Aztec raised $59 million through CCA from 17,000 bidders across 191 countries, with the clearing price exceeding the reserve price by 60%; Cap Labs' auction attracted 1,002 independent bids, with a 5.5 times oversubscription, and a clearing FDV of $106 million.
