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.

In a memo sent to employees on September 10, Sawyer stated that Standard Chartered Bank's acquisition of Zodia Custody's custody business and the establishment of Zodia Solutions provided an appropriate time for him to hand over daily leadership responsibilities, and he will continue to be closely involved in company affairs.According to the memo, Zodia Custody's Chief Revenue Officer Richard Clark will lead the company’s transition to Standard Chartered Bank and will be responsible for the custody business; current executives Craig Perrin and Anoosh Arevshatian will be responsible for the establishment of Zodia Solutions.

Former Magic Eden community data analysis contributor and founder of Magic Lab, Ben Gruenbaum, posted on X, accusing the NFT market Magic Eden of changing rewards, governance, products, and strategic direction after users locked up $ME for the long term. He stated that $ME has a fixed supply of 1 billion, of which 225 million are reserved for active user rewards over four years and are unlocked linearly, with the longest lock-up period being four years and no early withdrawal allowed. After distributing 10 million $ME in Season 1, an additional 2.3 million was added due to issues, and the rewards for Season 2 increased from 8 million to 10 million.The community fund was launched with 5 million $ME. The proposal supported by Magic Lab requested 295,000 $ME (approximately $177,000 at $0.60), but the budget shrank due to price declines. Users continued to lock up during the shutdown of the Bitcoin and EVM markets, as well as the Runes infrastructure and wallet, with rewards shifting to USDC. Magic Eden promised $75 million to Dicey, and some top stakers reported issues receiving USDC and have filed lawsuits. Gruenbaum stated that this is not a story about the token's decline, but rather about changes in ecosystem factors after users made long-term commitments.
