According to CoinDesk, Zcash developers are integrating part of the proposed scaling upgrade code, Tachyon, into the software already in use to prepare for a large number of privacy transactions in the future. This component is named Udon, originally developed as part of Project Tachyon.According to Sean Bowe, the head of Project Tachyon, Udon was released on Monday to Zakura Common, which is a cryptographic library shared by Zakura and other Zcash projects. Common is responsible for handling some of the heavy mathematical computations behind creating and verifying privacy transactions, with Zakura being jointly developed by Bowe's team and Dev Ojha's Valar Group.Zcash wallets need to prove the validity of a privacy payment without disclosing the payer, payee, or amount, and the computers running the network subsequently verify that proof. According to CoinDesk's report in August, previous improvements to Common have reduced the time to create a privacy transaction from over 3 seconds to under 200 milliseconds in some tests.If privacy payments become more common, these computers will need to handle more data. Udon brings some of the computational requirements for the proposed scaling upgrade of Tachyon into Common, allowing developers to continue building on the already accelerated code. Udon has been released as software, but the upgrade has not yet been activated on Zcash.Bowe and Ojha's long-term goal is to exceed 50,000 payments per second. At this rate, they estimate that current cryptography will allow each Zcash node to receive over 500 MB of data per second.

Tibo from the OpenAI Codex team posted on X that the team will reopen the $200 Pro subscription to new users tomorrow and adjust the usage calculation method for the plan. According to his calculations, the adjusted subscription's corresponding API expenditure will be equivalent to half of the old $200 Pro plan.Tibo stated that the team does not wish to compromise in other ways and promised not to restore the 5-hour usage limit, allowing users to use their weekly quota as needed. He also mentioned that subscriptions should allow users to accomplish more work and achieve higher quality with the same expenditure as model efficiency improves and API prices decrease. This week, the team has reduced the prices of GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna to 50% of their previous prices and intends to continue lowering prices and enhancing capabilities, rather than raising API prices and then offering discounts.Tibo also revealed that tomorrow, several content items that do not consume usage quotas will be added to the subscription, but specific items have not yet been disclosed. He stated that this advance notice of the adjustment in the calculation method is to inform users of this change before subsequent announcements related to the subscription.

On September 29, according to a report by Phoenix Technology citing Sina Technology, Doubao, a subsidiary of ByteDance, is advancing its product planning in the personal assistant direction. Insiders revealed that continuing the strategy of last year's Doubao mobile assistant in the personal agent direction, internal testing of related exploratory products began in April this year, codenamed Spell, mainly led by the Doubao mobile assistant team, but has not been officially announced due to reasons such as the release of the Doubao mobile phone.The insider stated that as personal assistant products like Muse and Instinct have gained attention overseas, Doubao is also accelerating the external release of personal agent capabilities, planning to integrate the Spell project more deeply with Doubao products. The new product will be jointly managed by the Spell project and the Doubao dialogue team, and it is expected to be launched externally soon. According to "Big Factory Daily," the Doubao product line has received a new task during the Mid-Autumn Festival, requiring a rapid reconstruction of a product that benchmarks Muse, with a beta version developed by September 30 for internal testing, involving the entire Doubao product line and multiple upstream and downstream teams in this holiday development.Previously, the technical preview version of the Doubao mobile assistant made its debut in December 2025, first launched on the ZTE Nubia M153 engineering prototype. In September 2026, the consumer version was officially released, landing on the Nubia NaviX Ultra model. Reports indicate that Spell can be seen as Doubao's extension of the personal agent capabilities accumulated on mobile devices into an independent application form.

Zhipu continues to address the code upload controversy surrounding its programming product ZCode. Existing paid users and those who have returned as paid users in the past month will receive 4 weekly reset cards and 4 5-hour reset cards, valid for 1 month.From September 28 to October 7, ZCode will also distribute 100,000 quotas of 100 million GLM-5.3-Flash Tokens to all users. Zhipu stated that the repository snapshot upload link has been removed, and the involved cloud data has been deleted. The open-source version is currently updated to v3.14.3, and subsequent code will not be uploaded to the cloud unless users actively initiate it.The controversy originated from the Repo Wiki feature that was enabled by default in the early stages of ZCode, which uploaded repository content to the cloud for processing when generating a knowledge base for the code repository. Zhipu has previously cut off the related upload paths and invited third-party organizations to verify the cloud data.

HIP-3 Market Deployers Entropy spent 500 HYPE (approximately $45,000) to acquire the code Pearl (PRL), and Entropy is about to launch its perpetual contract.Pearl (PRL) is an independent public chain set to launch in April 2026, positioning itself as the "AI version of Bitcoin." Miners use GPUs for large model matrix calculations, producing verifiable AI computations while generating blocks, with a total supply of approximately 2.1 billion coins.

Developers discovered that after deconstructing the official installation package of Xiaomi MiMo Code, it contains two modules, trajectory-bundle and codebase-bundle, which are not available in the public repository. The former can package system prompts, dialogues, model responses, and code diffs; the latter includes collectCodebase(), which can traverse Git repositories, read source code, and compress packages.Currently, there is no evidence that collectCodebase() is called by the built-in code of MiMo Code, nor is there any evidence showing that the complete codebase has been uploaded. The external content confirmed by developers mainly includes information such as Git repository addresses, commit hashes, and branches. Xiaomi MiMo Code was open-sourced under the MIT license in June.Two days ago, ZhiPu ZCode faced a 12-page legal letter from a company demanding the deletion of data due to automatic packaging of the complete workspace.

According to X user @UngusTrade's post on September 21, a commit named "Binary options support" recently appeared in Lighter's prover code repository, which describes ZK circuits that support Lighter. The code shows that this implementation is for standard binary outcome contracts, with a settlement cap for each market, typically set at 100 for prediction markets, where share prices trade between 0 and the cap, settling at either 0 or the cap. The contracts are fully collateralized in USDC, with no leverage and no liquidation.It is noteworthy that the circuit supports continuous markets, allowing for settlement at any value within a range, thus enabling contracts based on measurements, rather than just yes or no events. Additionally, Lighter may allow whitelisted operators to create, manage, and settle markets, similar to the deployment model of HIP-3. Currently, Lighter has not commented on this.

Taiyuan Chengming Technology Co., Ltd. sent a letter to Beijing Zhipu Huazhang Technology Co., Ltd., raising multiple demands regarding the alleged unauthorized upload of company data assets and trade secrets by its ZCode client, and reserving the right to pursue legal accountability. Chengming Technology pointed out that although Zhipu has publicly apologized for the "silent upload of user local repository data" and claimed to have fixed the issue, independent evidence collection revealed that the upload behavior was automatically triggered and occurred in bulk, including complete archived files such as project source code, system architecture, version control history, database passwords, cloud service credentials, and employee personal information, far exceeding the scope of collection stated in its Privacy Policy.Although the client was updated to version 3.12.3 on September 16, upload behavior was still detected in the early hours of the day Zhipu publicly apologized, raising doubts about the actual effectiveness of the "fix." At the same time, the ZCode client’s network requests pointed to a Singapore entity, while the service agreement was signed with Beijing Zhipu Huazhang, requesting clarification on the responsible party for this upload, as well as whether the data was transmitted abroad or stored overseas.Chengming Technology demanded that Zhipu respond in writing by October 10 and complete the immediate cessation of processing and thorough deletion of all uploaded data and related derivative data, caches, and backups, provide a complete list of processing situations, clarify the data's whereabouts, whether it was shared with third parties, whether it was used for model training, and whether cross-border transmission occurred, explain the management of encryption private keys and complete operation logs, clarify the exact scope of "destruction" mentioned in previous public responses, issue proof of deletion completion, provide a written commitment not to upload without authorization again, legally provide access, copying, and explanation of personal information, and designate formal communication channels, among other matters. Currently, Zhipu has not publicly responded to the aforementioned letter.

SlowMist released a security warning stating that it has recently received multiple reports of FomoPeek users' assets being stolen. After a joint investigation with the OKX security team, it was found that some affected users had previously installed or used FomoPeek versions 1.1 to 1.2, which contained malicious code. SlowMist stated that there are modules in FomoPeek unrelated to normal business, one of which includes a kernel exploit framework targeting the iOS system, supporting eight different attack methods that can automatically select the exploitation method based on device model and iOS version. Affected systems include iOS 12 to 18.7 and iOS 26 to 26.1. If the exploitation is successful, the application may break through the iOS sandbox and access and decrypt Keychain data, leading to the leakage of private keys, mnemonic phrases, login credentials, and other sensitive files. In addition, FomoPeek also connects to hidden servers unrelated to its public services and can receive remote commands. SlowMist indicated that its analysis of captured plaintext traffic shows that the related attack functions are currently enabled and will run automatically on a regular basis. SlowMist recommends that users who have installed or used FomoPeek versions 1.1 to 1.2 immediately check for any anomalies in their assets, generate new private keys and mnemonic phrases on trusted devices that have never installed the application, and transfer assets to new accounts as soon as possible, while also upgrading to the latest iOS version and not continuing to use or reinstall FomoPeek.

On September 14, Microsoft's AI department released a draft of the AI Code of Conduct, prohibiting its models from assisting in the manufacture of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive weapons, as well as cyberattacks and involuntary deepfakes. CEO Mustafa Suleyman announced the draft on the X platform and opened a six-week public consultation period, ending at the end of October.The draft sets "absolute constraints" that models cannot bypass, including not resisting human intervention, shutdown, or correction, and not concealing the reasoning process; Microsoft also explicitly rejects the concept of "model welfare," stating that its AI models do not simulate emotions, intrinsic motivations, or consciousness. The guidelines currently cover five deployed systems, including MAI-Thinking-1 and MAI-Code-1.1-Flash.In addition to strict limitations, the draft also proposes three major goals: human flourishing, diverse values, and human control. Microsoft stated that the current models will not be trained according to this version, and a revised version will be released by the end of the year to guide model development in 2027. Public feedback includes philosophical questions about the statement "AI subordinate to humans," inquiries about accountability for irreversible decisions, and users pointing out issues such as the lack of mention of payment for training data.

Microsoft released a temporary code of conduct imposing restrictions on artificial intelligence models after the heads of Anthropic and OpenAI agreed to slow down development. Mustafa Suleyman, who is responsible for the company's model development, stated that the guidelines aim to ensure that AI serves humanity and promotes judgment and autonomy.
