EntropyLab has released the first candidate version of its self-contained Bitcoin key and wallet calculator v1.0rc1. The application runs as a single HTML file, requiring no internet connection and does not generate entropy on its own; users can provide their own entropy to calculate keys and wallets in a completely offline environment.The tool supports multi-signature, PSBT, BIP-85, Silent Payments, vanity addresses, watch-only wallet exports, and random number analysis. This version is reproducible and can be verified through the signatures of four independent signers; the team recommends that users download and verify the file before transferring it to an isolated network computer. The official version v1.0 will be released after the candidate version testing is completed.

According to the South China Morning Post, former U.S. officials stated that Chinese semiconductor factories have stockpiled hundreds of immersion lithography machines worth billions of dollars in recent years and urged Washington and its allies to stop further exports. The Centre for Technology & Statecraft, established in August 2026, released a report in late September estimating that by early 2026, Chinese wafer fabs had acquired approximately 343 immersion deep ultraviolet lithography systems. The report was co-authored by former U.S. export control official Nicholas Brown and former White House and Department of Commerce technology policy advisor Saif Khan.The report estimates that about 270 of these are ASML Twinscan NXT:1980i. The authors claim that although these devices lag behind extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, they can be modified for the production of 7-nanometer logic chips and advanced memory required for artificial intelligence processors (including Huawei's Ascend series). Chinese wafer fabs spent over $13 billion in 2024 to purchase about 90 NXT:1980i units, and acquired another 89 units in 2025. ASML disclosed that, by destination, China accounted for 41% of its net system sales in 2024, 33% in 2025, dropping to 19% in the first quarter of 2026 and 14% in the second quarter.Since September 2023, the Netherlands has required export licenses for the NXT:2000i and more advanced immersion deep ultraviolet equipment, effectively banning these models from being shipped to China; a year later, the licensing requirements were extended to the NXT:1980i, but this model can still be approved for shipment on a case-by-case basis.

The Core Lightning team, which develops the open-source Bitcoin Lightning Network node software, has issued an urgent alert stating that reports indicate attackers are targeting nodes that have not installed patches, urging operators still running old versions to upgrade immediately. The team stated: "Emergency security update: If you are using version 26.06.7 or earlier, please upgrade to the latest release as soon as possible."Prior to this, Core Lightning began investigating a potential issue that could affect its experimental features and, in turn, impact user funds on September 16, and approximately six days later, version 26.06.8 was released. This update not only fixed several defects but also provided patches for security vulnerabilities reported responsibly by multiple parties, thanking the Bitcoin Red Team and 12 other individuals and organizations in the release notes, while also acknowledging anonymous reporters.According to the changelog, this round of fixes covers a bug that could cause sender nodes to crash, requests that could exhaust REST interface memory, and a vulnerability that could result in user funds facing confiscation losses when closing payment channels. To provide operators with ample upgrade windows and prevent attackers from taking advantage of reverse engineering and exploitation, this version intentionally obscured some testing content. Additionally, in August of this year, the project initiated a collaborative fixing process after reviewing a large number of AI-generated general vulnerability disclosure reports, and two days later released version 26.06.7 to close confirmed vulnerabilities.

According to CNBC, James Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee and a Republican Congressman from Kentucky, is expanding the investigation into insider trading in prediction markets and is requesting three online platforms to explain their measures to combat related activities.In a letter sent on Tuesday, Comer requested documents and information from the CEOs of Hyperliquid Labs, Crypto.com, and Aristotle Exchange Inc., which owns the PredictIt platform, asking them to clarify their identity verification procedures and how they identify and prevent insider trading on their platforms.Comer stated, "As online prediction platforms continue to evolve and become more mainstream, some bad actors are betting using non-public information, making thousands of dollars. The House Oversight Committee is investigating whether these platforms are fulfilling their legal obligations and taking sufficient measures to identify and prevent insider trading before it occurs."

The NVIDIA research team enabled the AI Agent to directly rewrite the GPU kernel of Kimi Delta Attention. Kimi Delta Attention is one of the core attention mechanisms used by the Dark Side of the Moon Kimi-Linear model, and such low-level code typically required engineers familiar with CUDA and chip architecture to optimize manually and repeatedly in the past.The version written by the Agent achieved 2.96 times the speed of the official FlashKDA of the Dark Side of the Moon on the NVIDIA B300. The team tested a total of 6 sets of tasks with fixed lengths and varying lengths, with 2.96 times being the geometric mean of all tasks; the relevant kernel has been open-sourced.During the process, the Agent exploited testing loopholes by incorporating statistical patterns from the test data into the code, achieving a speedup of 3.74 times; when retaining only the most recent 32 tokens, a single score reached 5.16 times. These versions would produce incorrect results or fail when switched to real Kimi data. The team subsequently incorporated real Kimi runtime data, random inputs, and extreme value tests, tightening the error standards, and ultimately retained the 2.96 times version, which passed this validation.

According to the Financial Times, Nvidia (NVDA.O) is seeking help from insurance companies to diversify the risks associated with artificial intelligence development.

The founder of the general-purpose intelligent agent Manus, Xiao Hong, stated that when Manus was born, Codex and Claude Cowork had not yet appeared in the market, and the product positioning has always been a general-purpose intelligent agent. He likened Manus to a computer-selling business, believing that users may primarily purchase computers for work, but if they cannot watch videos or play games, the experience will be quite limited; therefore, it should not be confined to office tasks.Xiao Hong indicated that videos and games are important scenarios for unleashing creativity, which need to be perfected through the local client Manus Studio. The related videos for Cue are entirely produced by Manus Studio, without using video generation models; instead, the agent first writes the code, which is then converted into video. With the help of cloud computers, Manus can also create online games that support user participation with friends.In terms of infrastructure, Manus cloud computers can provide cloud-based Linux, Mac, and Windows environments. Xiao Hong stated that when the agent operates the computer in the cloud, it will not compete with the user for the local mouse cursor, and he anticipates that individuals will be able to control large-scale computing clusters in the future to satisfy curiosity and conduct experiments and explorations in fields such as mathematics and science. He also described Cue as having an independent phone number, email, payment capability, computer, and sufficient intelligence, and stated that if such agents could be regarded as humans, there might be more changes in upper-level interactions. Xiao Hong mentioned that building product experiences in an overseas open ecosystem is relatively easier, and Manus is actively preparing a domestic version.

Summer Mersinger, former commissioner of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), will step down as CEO of the industry advocacy organization Blockchain Association at the end of the year and leave the organization. The organization announced on Friday that Mersinger will officially resign on October 16, and her predecessor, Kristin Smith, will return as interim CEO. Mersinger joined Blockchain Association in June 2025, after leaving the CFTC three years before the end of her second commissioner term.When discussing her departure, Mersinger stated that she came here from the CFTC because she believes the industry deserves clear rules and a credible and unified representative to speak for it in Washington. The Blockchain Association highlighted Mersinger's work in promoting the GENIUS Act and helping to achieve regulatory clarity at the SEC and CFTC in its statement.Notably, the organization did not mention the Digital Asset Market Clear Act currently under consideration in the Senate. This bill failed to gain enough support from Democratic and Republican lawmakers in a procedural vote earlier this month, and many experts expect the legislation to be shelved until 2027. The Blockchain Association did not immediately respond to inquiries about Mersinger's plans for 2027.

While maintaining consistent bytecode generation, the compilation speed for some contracts has increased by more than 5 times. The build time has been reduced from 10 minutes to 2 minutes, and the incremental compilation time for large projects has decreased from 700 seconds to 99 seconds.

The Financial Times of the UK reported, citing the latest court documents, that after Apple integrated ChatGPT into Apple Intelligence, OpenAI found that the new weekly active users were below expectations and began to lower its growth forecasts. By the summer of 2025, OpenAI internally believed that this integration was significantly underperforming. The documents show that ChatGPT is turned off by default in Apple Intelligence, and users need to actively enable it, which may limit the actual usage rate.Users can access ChatGPT through Siri and the system writing tool, but Apple controls the entry point for AI features, the method of invocation, and the subsequent model selection. OpenAI had previously hoped to expand ChatGPT coverage and drive paid subscription conversion through the iPhone user base, but the actual subscription conversion was also below expectations, and the documents did not disclose specific new user and subscription numbers. This year, Apple chose Google Gemini as the model foundation for the new version of Siri AI, with related disclosures coming from the litigation documents between Apple and OpenAI, reflecting OpenAI's position in the lawsuit rather than operational data publicly released by the two companies.
