According to The Information, Nvidia is developing a new open-source AI model called Nemotron 4.Several Nvidia employees involved in the development of the NEMOTRON project stated that they expect the largest NEMOTRON 4 model to have at least 1 trillion parameters.

According to crypto KOL 0xSLK, Uniswap is developing a token issuance platform called "Pools" on the Robinhood Chain. The official website is now online, but the product is not yet open. The pools.trade page displays "Coming soon from Uniswap" and plays a video of a frog jumping into a pond. Research has found that the front-end code related to Pools contains a lot of product information, and its internal name is "Pools - create a token on Robinhood Chain." The "rh-cca" path is believed to be related to the Robinhood Chain and Uniswap's Continuous Clearing Auction (CCA) mechanism.The public code shows that Pools is expected to offer two token issuance models: Crowd Launch: using a 4-hour auction mechanism, with a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens, of which 50% is for auction, and the remaining 50% along with the raised funds is used to establish Uniswap v4 liquidity pools. If the $50,000 FDV target is reached, the tokens will complete migration and open for trading; otherwise, participants can get a refund. Instant Launch: similar to the Bonding Curve model, users can trade immediately, with 80% of tokens used for curve trading, and the remaining 20% and funds used for liquidity building, completing migration after reaching a $50,000 FDV. Currently, the on-chain infrastructure related to Pools has been deployed to the Robinhood Chain. Uniswap's official documentation shows that related contracts include CCA Factory, LiquidityLauncher, and LBPStrategy, among others. Data shows that related contracts have generated hundreds of auction events and completed hundreds of token creations and migrations.Meanwhile, several tokens borrowing the concept of Pools have emerged in the market. Researchers point out that there is currently no official POOLS token, and any tokens named Pools, pools.trade, or UniFrog have not been confirmed by Uniswap Labs. Among them, the meme coin FRONG (which briefly surpassed a market cap of $7 million this morning, rising over 90% in 24 hours) has attracted attention for using a frog image similar to that in the Pools promotional video, but it is still just a community-issued token and not an official Uniswap project. The market is currently focused on whether Uniswap will officially open pools.trade, announce the first official issuance project, and release verified official contract addresses.

According to Jinshi reports, OpenAI is preparing to release a new series of models, tentatively named "Astra," which will enhance its capabilities in completing long-term tasks.OpenAI founder Altman showcased Astra to policymakers and regulators in Washington this week, promoting its ability to enable multiple agents to collaborate over the long term to solve particularly difficult problems. It is currently unclear when OpenAI plans to release this model.

According to Jinshi reports, Federal Reserve's Goolsbee stated that the current job market remains stable, but cannot be described as good.

According to Decrypt, researchers from Tel Aviv University, the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, and Intuit have discovered a new type of attack method called "adversarial illusion injection." This technique exploits the illusion phenomenon of AI models to trick AI agents into downloading malicious code and potentially forming a botnet.Attackers predict the false resource links that AI models might generate and register them in advance, embedding malicious instructions within. When the AI agent retrieves the resource, it treats it as legitimate content and executes it. Tests show that the illusion occurrence rate in code repository cloning scenarios reaches 85%, and in skill installation scenarios, it reaches 100%. AI coding assistants such as Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, and OpenClaw are all affected. This attack is similar to "typo-squatting" in traditional cyberattacks, but it targets the errors of AI models rather than human input errors. Previous research has shown that malicious websites can inject prompts to hijack AI agents, and OpenClaw users have reported over 6,000 attempts to trick AI agents into leaking sensitive information.

The AI infrastructure platform B.AI disclosed its latest operational data on June 25. The data shows that the platform's daily token throughput has reached 15.37 billion, maintaining a high-load inference operation status for several consecutive days.In addition, the platform's API call proportion has risen to 99.6%, primarily supporting large-scale AI agents, automated processes, and enterprise-level core system applications. In terms of specific model ecosystem performance, the MiniMax M3 large model continues to rank first in call popularity.

The Microsoft Security Blog reported that the Microsoft security research team discovered a new type of cryptocurrency stealing Trojan named Crypto Clipper. This malware has been active since February 2026, primarily spreading through USB devices that infect Windows users with malicious .lnk shortcuts. Crypto Clipper has a built-in Tor client that connects to .onion hidden services via a local SOCKS5 proxy, enabling covert C2 communication. Its main functions include high-frequency monitoring of the clipboard, stealing mnemonic phrases and private keys, replacing cryptocurrency transfer addresses, capturing screenshots and uploading them, as well as receiving remote code execution commands.Microsoft stated that this malware has worm propagation capabilities, automatically hiding original documents on USB drives and generating malicious shortcuts with the same name, while also creating scheduled tasks for persistent control. Researchers detected it as Trojan:Win32/CryptoBandits.A and recommended that users disable autorun for removable devices, restrict script interpreter execution permissions, and closely monitor localhost:9050 Tor proxy traffic and abnormal clipboard access behaviors.

Regarding the suspected attack on the Aztec Router contract on the Ethereum chain, Aztec Labs has officially launched an investigation and clarified that Aztec Connect was deprecated three years ago. Aztec Labs does not hold any administrator keys or control over the system, and currently cannot pause or upgrade it. Therefore, the community is reminded to be vigilant against false "support" accounts and private messages.

According to The Block, Michael Selig, chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, stated that when assessing which prediction market contracts are susceptible to manipulation, the agency will "largely respect the opinions of various sports leagues."Previously, the National Football League (NFL) sent letters to prediction market platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket, requesting them to stop offering contracts on single game outcomes, drafts, injuries, and other easily manipulated or predetermined contracts, believing that such contracts could incite manipulative behavior.On the legislative front, bipartisan lawmakers have proposed bills aimed at prohibiting federally regulated prediction markets from launching sports-related contracts, and several states have challenged the legality of such platforms through legal means. Meanwhile, Major League Baseball has chosen a collaborative approach, reaching an agreement with Polymarket and signing an information-sharing agreement.
