In brief Google Quantum AI revived a decades-old concept known as quantum money. The tokens rely on the no-cloning theorem, making them physically impossible to copy. Researcher Dar Gilboa said the work is theoretical, not a Bitcoin replacement. For more than a decade, the world of digital currency has been built on a single foundation:…
In brief Shanghai researchers say “context engineering” can boost AI performance without retraining the model. Tests show richer prompts improve relevance, coherence, and task completion rates. The approach builds on prompt engineering, expanding it into full situational design for human-AI interaction. A new paper from Shanghai AI Lab argues that large language models don’t always…
In brief Donut Labs raised $22 million to develop an AI-powered crypto trading browser. The tool merges automation, market analysis, and security in one platform. Founder Chris Zhu says agentic browsers will soon become the default online. AI browsers are becoming the next frontier in how people interact with the web—and crypto traders just got…
In brief ArXiv changed its policy after AI tools made it easy to mass-generate survey papers. Only peer-reviewed review or position papers will now be accepted in the Computer Science category. Researchers are divided, with some warning the rule hurts early-career authors while others call it necessary to stop AI spam. ArXiv, a free repository…
In brief AI cloud compute company IREN has signed a $9.7 billion deal with Microsoft. The deal will give Microsoft to access to Nvidia’s NVIDIA GB300 GPUs. A number of top tech companies have inked deals with data center firms in recent months. IREN stock rocketed up after the former Bitcoin miner and data center…

In brief The CBS segment was Trump’s first sit-down with 60 Minutes in five years, spanning the government shutdown, foreign policy, and crypto. Trump said he “didn’t know” CZ and had been “told” Zhao was wrongfully targeted by the Biden administration. O’Donnell pressed the president on Binance’s $2 billion transaction involving his family’s World Liberty…
In brief You can give local AI models web access using free Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers—no corporate APIs, no data leaks, no fees. Setup is simple: Install LM Studio, add Brave, Tavily, or DuckDuckGo MCP configs, and your offline model becomes a private SearchGPT. The result: real-time browsing, article analysis, and data fetching—without ever…
In brief Scientists say the quantum risk to Bitcoin remains a decade or more away. New cryptography standards aim to harden systems before “Q-Day,” but experts warn that Bitcoin’s governance makes upgrades slow and political. Markets could crash on fear alone long before quantum math catches up. Bitcoin’s quantum reckoning may still be years away,…
