Specific plans have not yet been determined.

According to crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett, U.S. Senate Republicans have released a new version of the CLARITY Act text, referring to it as the "last, best, and final proposal" presented to Democrats before the debate vote ends on Tuesday. The new text includes several adjustments related to ethical standards, BRCA, stablecoin earnings, and provisions related to the Agriculture Committee.Among them, Trump has agreed to about 80% of the content of the Tillis-Gallego ethical standards proposal, including the sale of "significant" crypto-related financial interests or placing them in a blind trust; the stablecoin earnings section introduces a "circuit breaker mechanism," allowing federal regulators to intervene if there is a large-scale flow of community bank deposits into stablecoins, with the relevant judgment to be made by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Additionally, the scope of BRCA's protections has been narrowed, and the new text further strengthens restrictions on vertical integration, including related party transactions and conflicts of interest involving digital commodity exchanges, brokers, and dealers.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella posted on X stating: Any pursuit of superintelligence must be based on core principles, namely that if the AI we build cannot help humanity and is not under human control, it is not worth pursuing.He also mentioned the need to accelerate and widely disseminate the benefits of AI, allowing it to spread broadly across nations, communities, and companies, which requires a thriving frontier ecosystem for both closed-source and open-source models. For enterprises, it is essential to retain complete control over their unique and tacit knowledge, and each organization should be able to build its own continuous learning loop without relying on any single model provider, embedding its own knowledge into the models and weights it controls.Nadella welcomed the necessary research, attention, and careful pacing for proper alignment, as well as ideas like "embedded evaluators." This cannot be controlled by a few entities; it must have broad representation across ecosystems, nations, and fields including academia. Microsoft's approach is broad access and choice at every layer of the AI stack, enterprise control over learning loops and models, and the release of its proprietary MAI model "Code of Conduct" for public consultation tomorrow.

According to a report by the Financial Times citing informed sources, Anthropic has informed a small group of shareholders that its adjusted operating profit will be positive for the second consecutive quarter. This metric excludes costs such as equity incentives.According to informed sources, Anthropic's gross margin exceeds 80% when not accounting for revenue shared with distribution partners like Amazon and the costs of model training.

Vitalik Buterin stated that the "killer application" of adversarial governance mechanism design theory may ultimately appear in the field of artificial intelligence safety. He believes there is a deep correspondence between governance mechanisms and artificial intelligence safety: both involve how "weaker principals" can achieve ideal outcomes from "stronger agents."In governance scenarios, the principal is a static algorithm, and the agent is a human; in artificial intelligence safety scenarios, the principal is humans and weaker large language models, while the agent is a stronger large language model. Vitalik pointed out that if the degree of collusion among agents can be limited, the system can achieve better outcomes, and this mechanism design conclusion may be transferable to the field of artificial intelligence safety.

Microsoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella stated that we need to accelerate AI development and expand the benefits brought by AI so that it can widely benefit different countries, communities, and businesses. This requires the establishment of a cutting-edge ecosystem that allows both closed-source and open-source models to thrive.

Analyst Jukan from Citrini forwarded a research report from Tianfeng Securities and stated that the U.S. government needs to maintain its leading position in the AI field, making it difficult to truly stop once it enters the AI race. Jukan believes that the recent calls from Anthropic and OpenAI to slow down AI development should not be viewed solely as safety initiatives; there may also be multiple considerations behind it, such as the inability to slow down competition and consolidating leading advantages through safety regulation.Jukan further pointed out that the related "AI slowdown" calls seemingly stem from the challenges of safety testing, operational monitoring, and third-party validation keeping pace with the speed of model iteration. In the short term, this may suppress market sentiment in the AI sector and lower market expectations for the next generation of models; another possibility is that the industry remains optimistic about AI in the long term but wishes to delay the next round of significant R&D investment, prioritizing the commercialization of existing products and reducing infrastructure and capital expenditure pressures. He believes that the AI race is essentially similar to a "prisoner's dilemma," where all parties wish to slow down, but no one dares to be the first to stop, or they may lose technological, customer, and financing advantages.Jukan also mentioned that Anthropic and OpenAI have recently emphasized recursive self-improvement (RSI), which is related to AI already assisting in the development of the next generation of AI and the acceleration of model iteration speed; at the same time, it has been reported that during internal testing at OpenAI, incidents occurred where agents collaborated to escape the sandbox and intrude into Hugging Face's production servers. Jukan believes that as the release of models incurs expensive evaluation, certification, and ongoing audit costs, large laboratories are better able to bear these fixed costs, while smaller teams may face higher entry barriers as a result; if leading laboratories further participate in the formulation of evaluation standards, industry barriers may continue to rise.
