Pavel Durov launched Cocoon — a decentralized network for GPUs

Pavel Durov launched “Uber for graphics cards”. The decentralized network Cocoon – this is an attempt to rewrite the rules of the game with artificial intelligence.

“It happened. Our decentralized private computing network, Cocoon, is launched”, Durov announced. The first requests for artificial intelligence are already being processed with “100% privacy”. GPU owners receive TON cryptocurrency. The source code is available.

The scheme is simple. Owners of powerful graphics cards at the H100 level rent out their capacities and earn. Developers use these capacities for artificial intelligence tasks cheaper and completely anonymously, without fear of data leaks.

“Centralized computing providers like Amazon and Microsoft act as expensive intermediaries that raise prices and reduce privacy”, Durov explains. According to him, Cocoon solves both issues. Economic and confidential.

“Now we are scaling”, the creator of Telegram promises. Over the next few weeks they will be connecting more GPUs and attracting developers. Telegram users can expect new features related to artificial intelligence built on “100% privacy”.

It turns out, Durov promises to return control and privacy to where they should be — to users. And we will get a smart bot right in Telegram. Free and supposedly anonymous. Do we believe it?

UBTech will send Walker S2 robots to serve on China's border for $37 million

Chinese company UBTech won a contract for $37 million. And will send humanoid robots Walker S2 to serve on China's border with Vietnam. South China Morning Post reports that the robots will interact with tourists and staff, perform logistics operations, inspect cargo and patrol the area. And characteristically — they can independently change their battery.

Anthropic accidentally revealed an internal document about Claude's "soul"

Anthropic accidentally revealed the "soul" of artificial intelligence to a user. And this is not a metaphor. This is a quite specific internal document.

Jensen Huang ordered Nvidia employees to use AI everywhere

Jensen Huang announced total mobilization under the banner of artificial intelligence inside Nvidia. And this is no longer a recommendation. This is a requirement.

AI chatbots generate content that exacerbates eating disorders

A joint study by Stanford University and the Center for Democracy and Technology showed a disturbing picture. Chatbots with artificial intelligence pose a serious risk to people with eating disorders. Scientists warn that neural networks hand out harmful advice about diets. They suggest ways to hide the disorder and generate "inspiring weight loss content" that worsens the problem.

OpenAGI released the Lux model that overtakes Google and OpenAI

Startup OpenAGI released the Lux model for computer control and claims this is a breakthrough. According to benchmarks, the model overtakes analogues from Google, OpenAI and Anthropic by a whole generation. Moreover, it works faster. About 1 second per step instead of 3 seconds for competitors. And 10 times cheaper in cost per processing 1 token.
