first_img After the release of GPT-6 Astra, users complained that it became less intelligent, and OpenAI has not yet responded

According to a report by Decrypt, OpenAI's latest flagship model GPT-6 Astra has seen a surge of user complaints on the X platform about its performance "getting dumber" just a week after its release. An anonymous developer, synthwavedd, posted that "Astra feels noticeably dumber today," joking that it was a "post-release lobotomy." Previously praising the model, developer Pranjal Paliwal stated after reviewing the code Astra wrote for him: "We don't have AGI; what we're encountering is a performance regression."Developer Pankaj Kumar listed the symptoms: faster responses with poorer quality, and he suspects OpenAI has lowered the "juice value" (the computational power invested by the model before answering). Salio and researcher Md Ismail Sojal compared Astra on the release day with the current version using the same prompts, both yielding worse results. T3Chat founder Theo believes Astra is simply less stable than Claude Fable, with users beginning to showcase poor results after the honeymoon period ended. There are also opinions pointing out that OpenAI's previous flagship GPT-5.6 Sol experienced a similar cycle in July, when OpenAI executive Tibo Sottiaux denied intentionally weakening the model but admitted the company had been experimenting with "reasoning effort" settings.OpenAI has not released a statement regarding Astra similar to that of Sol.

first_img Coinbase has renamed Base App to Coinbase Wallet

Coinbase announced that it has renamed the Base App to Coinbase Wallet, reversing the renaming decision made a year ago, shifting the focus of the self-custody application towards trading and broader multi-chain access. Ryan Kass, the product lead for Coinbase Wallet, stated that the wallet will serve as a "test kitchen" for products and assets not yet offered by the centralized exchange Coinbase, with the first case being perpetual contracts supported by Hyperliquid. The wallet also supports long-tail assets and plans to gradually integrate as new chains go live.The wallet also supports prediction markets and tokenized stocks. Coinbase stated that the Base App has evolved into a broader multi-chain trading platform, making the restoration of the Coinbase Wallet name a reasonable move. Coinbase promotes the wallet with the selling points of "no KYC, no waiting, borderless," allowing users to start trading within minutes after downloading the app, although some features are still subject to regional restrictions. The wallet will automatically detect and hide scam or malicious tokens, and new markets and asset classes must undergo strict product and compliance reviews before going live.In terms of background, Coinbase renamed Coinbase Wallet to Base App in July 2025, positioning it as a "universal app" that integrates social, mini-apps, messaging, payments, and trading. CEO Brian Armstrong admitted in March this year that the social experiment was "not very successful," after which Base founder Jesse Pollak handed over leadership of the app to Jordan "Cobie" Fish.

first_img OKX launched perpetual contracts for OpenAI and Anthropic's Pre-IPO in Europe

Cryptocurrency exchange OKX announced the launch of Pre-IPO perpetual contracts related to OpenAI and Anthropic in Europe. Eligible traders can go long or short on the valuations of the two AI companies with up to 10 times leverage, but will not receive actual shares of the two companies. This product bets on the valuation changes of the two companies before their IPOs, providing a new speculative avenue for retail investors who find it difficult to directly buy shares of private companies.OKX is not the first platform to launch such products. Hyperliquid has offered markets related to OpenAI and Anthropic through HIP-3, and Binance also provides Pre-IPO perpetual contracts for the two companies. OKX stated that such products are not substitutes for the shares themselves but can meet the ongoing market demand for exposure to large tech companies that have not been publicly listed for a long time.Meanwhile, OKX has also launched 100 tokenized stocks and ETFs, including Nvidia, Alphabet, Palantir, as well as SPY and QQQ, allowing European traders to trade traditional markets around the clock. These tokens track the prices of the underlying securities but do not grant holders actual shares or voting rights, and some tokens can be withdrawn to self-custody wallets. OKX Europe CEO Erald Ghoos stated that the demand for its derivatives business continues to grow, with trading volume for X-Perps in the European market quadrupling since the transition period of MiCA ended in July.

first_img Anthropic released an AI economic scenario, predicting a 32.4% increase in the U.S. GDP by 2030 under extreme conditions

Anthropic's economic team builds models to analyze the impact of AI on employment, growth, and unemployment in the United States. The model views the economy as a combination of tasks based on the U.S. Department of Labor's O*NET classification, where AI can keep tasks unchanged, enhance, automate, or create new tasks. The U.S. economy is described as having a task instance value of over $30 trillion.Three scenarios depend on AI capabilities and adoption speed: the moderate scenario is similar to the internet, with U.S. GDP increasing by 1.6% by 2030 ($34.1 trillion in 2025 prices), labor share at 59.4%, and capital share at 40.6%; in the substantial scenario, AI can perform half of knowledge work, GDP increases by 8.3% ($36.3 trillion), and wages for knowledge workers remain roughly stable, with a labor share of 56.1%; in the extreme scenario, AI is much more efficient in the vast majority of knowledge work and completes it almost entirely autonomously, with GDP increasing by 32.4% ($44.4 trillion), wages for knowledge workers dropping by over 10%, a labor share of 45.2%, and an unemployment rate exceeding typical recession levels.A survey conducted in August with over 10,000 Americans showed that typical responses were close to the substantial scenario (2030 GDP about 10% higher, unemployment rate about 5%), with about 10% of respondents nearing the extreme scenario. GDP increases in all scenarios, and transformative scenarios require more job transitions. The page provides a technical report and an interactive explorer.

first_img U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen strongly urged the Senate to pass the Clarity Act

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent posted on the X platform, strongly urging the Senate to advance the legislative process of the cryptocurrency Clarity Act after the August recess. He stated that the bill would prevent "bad actors" from exploiting important digital asset technologies and called on all parties to stay at the negotiating table, agree to procedural motions, and continue the legislative process.Bessent warned that failing to pass the bill would send a troubling signal to allies and adversaries, indicating that the U.S. is unwilling to lead the future of digital assets and is willing to forgo national security tools to combat the abuse of digital assets. In July of this year, Bessent stated that if one wants to stand on the side of "American exceptionalism," the Clarity Act must be passed, citing remarks from Satoshi Nakamoto.The Clarity Act was passed by the House last year and aims to establish a regulatory framework that clearly delineates the regulatory classification of digital assets as securities, commodities, or stablecoins. The bill has stalled this year due to disagreements between banking lobbyists and cryptocurrency companies over stablecoin revenue issues. A new draft in July prohibits government officials from promoting cryptocurrencies or profiting from them, but some Democrats still believe the bill is inadequate and demand amendments. President Trump also urged lawmakers to push the bill through.
