๐Ÿ’ญ OpenAI is Introducing GPT-5.5. Now available in ChatGPT and Codex.

The company said the model improves how users interact with AI across coding, research, and general knowledge work. Instead of guiding every step, users can now assign broader tasks and rely on the model to navigate ambiguity and complete workflows. It marks a new way of getting computer work done.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿค‘ U.S. military runs Bitcoin node, sees crypto as power projection versus China

Adm. Samuel Paparo, head of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, has told Congress the military is running a live node on the Bitcoin network and testing it for national security purposes.

"Bitcoin has incredible potential as a tool for American power projection," โ€” he said. Paparo also added that it has great potential as tool for national security.


Paparo said the node is not being used to mine Bitcoin but to monitor activity and run operational tests on securing and protecting networks using the Bitcoin protocol.

"We have a node on the Bitcoin network right now," โ€” Paparo said, responding to questions from Rep. Lance Gooden. "We're not mining Bitcoin. We're using it to monitor, and we're doing a number of operational tests to secure and protect networks using the Bitcoin protocol."


The disclosure is notable because Bitcoin is designed to resist control by powerful governments, yet a U.S. combatant command is now directly participating in the peer-to-peer network.

๐Ÿค Meta Inks Deal to Use Amazonโ€™s Graviton Processors for AI

Amazon Inc. and Meta Platforms Inc. have struck a multibillion-dollar deal for the social-media giant to rent hundreds of thousands of Amazonโ€™s general-purpose chips for its AI efforts. The multiyear deal gives Meta access to the Graviton line of processors.

Meta is also spending aggressively to develop its own silicon to help reduce costs and decrease its dependence on third-party chipmakers. The company is currently developing four iterations of its MTIA chip for AI purposes, and recently announced an expanded partnership with Broadcom for help designing and building those chips.

๐Ÿค– New 3D device computes using living brain cells

Researchers at Princeton University have created a three-dimensional neural network device that combines living brain cells and advanced embedded electronics. This 3D bioelectronic computer was programmed to differentiate patterns using computational techniques.

To build the device, the team created a 3D mesh of microscopic wires and electrodes supported by a thin layer of epoxy. They then cultured tens of thousands of neurons into a vast 3D network that can perform computation, using the mesh as a scaffold.

The technology couldn't only help uncover the computing secrets of the brain but can also assist in understanding and possibly treating neurological diseases. It could also play a role in solving one of AIโ€™s key bottlenecks: power consumption.

๐Ÿง‘โ€โš–๏ธ Tennessee bans crypto ATMs statewide, joining Indiana in fraud crackdown

Tennessee has become the second U.S. state to outright ban crypto ATMs, making it a misdemeanor to operate or host the machines anywhere in the state. Gov. Bill Lee signed House Bill 2505 into law on April 13 after it passed both chambers unanimously. It was officially codified on Thursday and will take effect July 1.

โŒ It prohibits the installation or operation of "virtual currency kiosks," commonly known as bitcoin ATMs, which are often found in gas stations, convenience stores and shopping malls. The law applies to crypto ATM operators as well as businesses that allow them on their property.

โ—๏ธViolations carry a Class A misdemeanor, which can result in penalties of up to one year in prison and a $2,500 fine.

๐ŸŸ Crypto kiosks themselves are not inherently fraudulent. They function as point-of-sale machines that let users buy and sell cryptocurrencies for cash and transfer funds to external wallet addresses.

๐Ÿ“ˆ But for years, international scammers have been using them to facilitate billions of dollars in fraud. Cryptocurrency kiosks were tied to nearly $390 million in reported losses in 2025 alone, according to FBI data, with older Americans accounting for a disproportionate share of victims.

โš–๏ธ DeFi Education Fund and other crypto leaders press SEC to lock in DeFi broker guidance

The DeFi Education Fund, alongside 35 other crypto industry leaders, is urging the SEC to formalize its recent decentralized finance interface guidance into formal rulemaking โ€” a move supporters see as positive for long-term blockchain development.

๐ŸŸ In a letter this week sent to the SEC, crypto groups pressed the agency to conduct rulemaking after it released a statement earlier this month that clarified certain user interface providers, such as DeFi wallets, do not need to register as broker-dealers.

"Specifically, the Commission should consider adopting a principles-based framework that provides clear, objective criteria for when activity falls within the definition of โ€œbroker,โ€ iterating on the criteria in the Statement," โ€” the groups said in the letter.

"Finalizing these principles would provide the legal certainty needed to support responsible innovation while preserving the Commissionโ€™s ability to regulate the intermediaries that pose the risks that the broker-dealer regulatory regime was designed to address," โ€” the groups added.


๐Ÿค Other advocacy groups signed the letter, including Crypto Council for Innovation, the Blockchain Association, and the Solana Policy Institute. Aave Labs, Andreessen Horowitz, Uniswap Labs, and Mysten Labs, Inc. also signed on.

On April 13, the SEC's Division of Trading and Markets released a staff statement to delineate that interfaces, such as DeFi wallets, would generally not be considered a broker-dealer and said it was an "interim step while the Commission continues to consider various regulatory issues."

โ—๏ธThe DeFi Education Fund and other groups called the SEC's statement "an important step," but warned that the guidance may not have staying power.

โšก๏ธWorldโ€™s first offshore ocean heat energy platform installed to replace 25 GW fossil power

A UK clean energy firm, Global OTEC, announced it has completed the offshore installation of a floating prototype platform in the Canary Islands. This marks the first purpose-built system designed to generate continuous electricity from ocean temperature differences at sea.

OTEC works by using the natural temperature difference between warm surface water and cold deep-sea water. Warm water heats a low-boiling-point working fluid, producing vapor that drives a turbine. Cold water from depths of up to about 3,280 feet then condenses the vapor back into liquid, allowing the cycle to repeat and generate electricity continuously.

Because it operates continuously, it can provide baseload power around the clock rather than depending on weather conditions. With testing now underway, the company plans to deploy its first OTEC Power Module in Hawaiโ€™i.

๐Ÿ†• Paradigm-backed Succinct launches iPhone camera app that combats AI fakes using cryptography

Succinct Labs has launched an ambitious new app that could help combat the rising threats posed by AI-generated photos and videos. The company unveiled ZCAM, an iPhone app that fingerprints photos and video using cryptography.

The new app signs photos and videos at the moment of capture, producing a tamper-proof record that links content to the device that captured it. People are then able to "independently verify" when media came from a "real device" and was not "digitally altered or generated," according to the company.

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ Chinaโ€™s auto giant unveils 1,400 TOPS robotaxi built on human-like reasoning

Chinese automotive giant Geely has introduced its first purpose-built robotaxi prototype, the Eva Cab. Unlike retrofitted vehicles, the model is designed from the ground up around AI, integrating a 196-billion-parameter Step 3.5 model with the companyโ€™s H9 high-level autonomous driving system.

According to Geely, the system reaches inference speeds of 350 TPS and can react up to three times faster than a human driver. The Eva Cab is capable of handling 99% of everyday driving scenarios, including more unpredictable environments like manual toll booths and unmarked rural roads, where it can effectively anticipate viable routes.
