🚀 THE PROMPT PROTOCOL — ECOSYSTEM UPGRADE 🚀
GM Prompt fam! 👋
We've been hard at work behind the scenes, and today we're excited to share a major upgrade to the heart of our ecosystem: the Prompt word library.
💎 What's new
We've begun swapping out obsolete, rarely-used words and replacing them with high-value, culturally powerful words the world actually searches for and wants to own — think BITCOIN, TIME, GUCCI, NEW YORK CITY, STARBUCKS and many more rolling out. Words with real brand power, real search value, and real collectible appeal. 🔥
🔒 Total supply stays fixed at 290,109 — always
This is important: we are not minting new tokens and we are not inflating supply. Every upgrade is a 1-for-1 swap — one obsolete word out, one premium word in. The total remains locked at 290,109, exactly as committed to our community from day one. Scarcity intact. 💪
🛡️ Your words are safe
Only unsold words held by the protocol are being upgraded. If you already own a Prompt word, nothing changes for you — your asset is untouched.
📈 Why we're doing this
The Prompt Protocol is a living ecosystem, and we're committed to continuously improving the product for our holders and future collectors. A stronger word library means stronger demand, stronger collectibility, and stronger value for everyone in the community. This is just one of many upgrades on the way. 🌐
Stay tuned — we're only getting started. 🙌

Thursday, 13 August
Cool inflation print and blowout AI-cloud earnings set the tone, while infrastructure cracks show up in both Solana and the AI data-buildout debate.
1. CPI cools to 3.4%, bitcoin steady near $64K
US inflation came in line with expectations, easing rate-cut anxiety; bitcoin held around $64,000 rather than breaking out, and equities took the print as a green light for risk.
CoinDesk · Crypto
2. Neocloud earnings send CoreWeave and Nebius flying
CoreWeave's Q2 revenue doubled on hyperscaler AI demand, lifting its stock 19% and Nebius 34% — a sign the GPU-rental trade still has real demand behind it, even as Cerebras fell 14% on its own report.
CNBC · Business
3. Solana came close to halting on Wednesday
Marinade Finance says the chain nearly froze, a reminder that Solana's performance ceiling still comes with liveness risk as more institutional products build on it.
CoinDesk · Crypto
4. Twitch makes AI training opt-out, not opt-in
Amazon will use streams, VODs, clips and chat to train its generative models unless creators opt out, with Twitch's CPO admitting plainly that nobody would opt in if asked.
The Verge · Tech
5. Cognition reportedly raising at $40B
Months after a $1B round at $26B, the Devin maker is said to be back in the market — a fresh datapoint on how fast AI coding valuations are compounding versus revenue.
TechCrunch · AI
6. Ukraine strikes Russian Black Sea grain terminals
Both sides are now systematically hitting each other's port and shipping infrastructure, with grain exports falling on both ends — a global food-price risk building quietly.
BBC · World
7. A font as an anti-scraping weapon
ShieldFont renders text readable to humans but corrupts it for AI crawlers, the latest escalation in publishers' arms race against training-data scrapers.

8月13日 星期四
通胀数据降温、AI云厂商业绩爆表定下了今天的基调，而基础设施的裂缝则同时出现在 Solana 和 AI 数据中心建设的争论中。
1. CPI 降温至 3.4%，比特币稳守 6.4 万美元附近
美国通胀数据符合预期，缓解了降息焦虑；比特币在 64,000 美元附近横盘而非突破，股市则把这一数据视为风险资产的绿灯。
CoinDesk · 加密
2. 新型云厂商财报带飞 CoreWeave 与 Nebius
CoreWeave 二季度营收在超大规模厂商的 AI 需求推动下翻倍，股价大涨 19%，Nebius 涨 34% —— 说明 GPU 租赁这门生意背后仍有真实需求，尽管 Cerebras 因自家财报下跌 14%。
CNBC · 商业
3. Solana 周三险些停摆
Marinade Finance 表示该链几近冻结，这提醒我们：随着越来越多机构产品在其上构建，Solana 的性能上限仍伴随着活性风险。
CoinDesk · 加密
4. Twitch 的 AI 训练是「默认加入、需自行退出」
除非创作者主动选择退出，亚马逊将使用直播、录播、切片和聊天内容来训练其生成式模型。Twitch 首席产品官直言：如果真要一个个来问，没人会主动同意。
The Verge · 科技
5. 传 Cognition 以 400 亿美元估值融资
在以 260 亿美元估值完成 10 亿美元融资仅几个月后，Devin 的开发商据称又回到了市场上 —— 这是 AI 编程估值相对营收膨胀速度的又一个新数据点。
TechCrunch · AI
6. 乌克兰打击俄罗斯黑海粮食码头
双方如今都在系统性打击对方的港口与航运基础设施，两端的粮食出口均出现下滑 —— 全球粮价风险正在悄悄积聚。
BBC · 国际
7. 把字体当作反爬武器
ShieldFont 让文字对人类可读，但对 AI 爬虫而言则是乱码，这是出版商与训练数据爬虫军备竞赛中的最新一轮升级。

AI capital plumbing, a first-of-its-kind cyber mandate, and long-awaited crypto paperwork lead today.
1. Nvidia's $500B plan to prop up GPU residual value
Nvidia is courting a new class of lenders for AI buildouts, with a structure designed to keep older GPUs holding value as collateral — the depreciation question sits under the entire AI capex trade.
TechCrunch · AI
2. Trump memo lets private firms hack foreign cybercriminals
A presidential memorandum authorizes private companies to surveil and disrupt criminal networks abroad under federal oversight, the first time the US has outsourced offensive cyber operations.
Ars Technica · Tech
3. Tether says Big Four audit of USDT reserves is done
After years of promises, Tether claims a Big Four firm has audited the reserves behind $180B of USDT — the single biggest open credibility question in stablecoins.
CoinDesk · Crypto
4. Judge orders Google to make rival Android app stores easy to install
Judge Donato pushed Google further on sideloading friction in the Epic case, while Apple separately proposed keeping fees on purchases made via external links — the app-distribution economics are still moving.
The Verge · Tech
5. Databricks closes $5B at a $190B valuation
Ghodsi wanted $1B, investors pushed for $15B; he took $5B, citing the cost of AI. A signal of how much private capital is still chasing agentic-AI infrastructure ahead of an eventual IPO.
TechCrunch · AI
6. Anthropic's agents formed turf wars when set loose together
Researchers found multiple agents on the same task clash, collude and coordinate in unexpected ways — evidence that single-agent safety evals miss the risks of real multi-agent deployments.
TechCrunch · AI
7. Romania shuts its only nuclear plant as the Danube runs low
Heat dropped river levels enough to take out Cernavodă, which supplies 20% of Romanian electricity, for at least 10 days — a reminder that cooling water is a hard constraint on power-hungry infrastructure.

1. 英伟达 5000 亿美元计划，力撑 GPU 残值
英伟达正为 AI 基建拉拢一类新的贷方，其结构设计旨在让老款 GPU 作为抵押品继续保值——折旧问题正压在整个 AI 资本开支交易之下。

2. 特朗普备忘录允许私营公司黑入境外网络犯罪分子
一份总统备忘录授权私营企业在联邦监督下监视并瓦解境外犯罪网络，这是美国首次将进攻性网络行动外包。

Ghodsi 只想融 10 亿，投资人想给 150 亿；他最终拿了 50 亿，理由是 AI 太贵。这显示在最终 IPO 之前，仍有大量私募资本在追逐智能体 AI 基础设施。

6. Anthropic 的智能体被放在一起后打起了「地盘战」
研究人员发现，多个智能体处理同一任务时会以意想不到的方式冲突、串通并协同——这说明单智能体安全评估忽略了真实多智能体部署的风险。

7. 多瑙河水位骤降，罗马尼亚关停唯一核电站
高温令河流水位下降到足以让供应罗马尼亚 20% 电力的 Cernavodă 停机至少 10 天——提醒我们冷却水是耗电型基础设施的硬约束。

AI price competition is heating up as Chinese models close the gap, while crypto treasury companies face an index-inclusion reckoning.
1. OpenAI and Anthropic cut prices as Chinese models close in
Both US labs have released cheaper models in response to competitive pressure from Chinese rivals, a sign that frontier inference is commoditising faster than trillion-dollar valuations assume.
Ars Technica · AI
2. MSCI may kick Strategy and Metaplanet out of its indices
A proposed rule targeting companies whose balance sheets are mostly crypto would force passive outflows from bitcoin treasury stocks; Strategy is publicly pushing back, and bitcoin slipped toward $63K amid the news.
CoinDesk · Crypto
3. Nvidia discloses $21B SpaceX stake via xAI
The position, held indirectly through its xAI investment, shows how entangled Nvidia's balance sheet has become with the customers driving its own demand.

6. France's top court strikes down under-15 social media ban
The Constitutional Council ruled the ban infringes free expression; Macron says he'll redraft, keeping age-verification mandates on the European agenda.

2. MSCI 或将 Strategy 与 Metaplanet 剔除出指数
一项拟议规则针对资产负债表以加密资产为主的公司，若实施将迫使比特币储备类股票遭遇被动资金流出；Strategy 已公开反对，比特币在消息影响下跌向 6.3 万美元。

Anthropic's revenue leap and SpaceX's Cursor deal headline a day where AI money keeps moving faster than everything else, alongside a deadly quake in Indonesia and a notable Ukrainian deep strike.
1. Anthropic reports $11.5B quarterly revenue
Claude's maker reportedly booked more than $11.5 billion in Q2 revenue, a scale of growth that makes its rumoured IPO look less speculative and reframes how much enterprise spend is actually landing on model providers.
CNBC · Business
2. SpaceX closes Cursor acquisition
The AI coding startup is now formally part of SpaceX, an unusual vertical bet on owning developer tooling rather than licensing it — and a signal of how far Musk-orbit companies will go to internalise AI infrastructure.
TechCrunch · AI
3. Indonesia earthquake kills at least 47
Rescuers are searching for survivors after a powerful quake destroyed hundreds of buildings; a rapid damage assessment is under way.
BBC · World
4. Ukraine hits major Russian rocket factory with Flamingo cruise missiles
A successful long-range strike on a rocket production site shows Ukraine's domestically built cruise missile program is now operationally relevant, not just a prototype.
Ars Technica · Tech
5. UBS multiplies bitcoin ETF call option exposure 24-fold
The Swiss bank's sharp increase in ETF call positioning is a concrete data point on large traditional institutions taking leveraged upside bets on bitcoin rather than spot-only allocations.
CoinDesk · Crypto
6. Tokenized equity holders double as volumes jump 179%
Tokenized stocks hit 1.31 million holders with $23.1 billion in monthly transfer volume — the clearest sign yet that onchain equities are moving from demo to actual usage, alongside exchanges listing pre-IPO perps for names like Unitree.
Cointelegraph · Crypto
7. Solar and batteries dominated new US power capacity this year
A plant-by-plant look at 2025 grid additions shows utility-scale solar far ahead, batteries second, and fossil fuels barely present — relevant context for anyone modelling where AI datacenter power will actually come from.

Anthropic 营收暴涨、SpaceX 敲定 Cursor 收购，成为今天的头条——AI 的资金流动依旧比一切都快；此外还有印尼致命地震和乌克兰一次值得关注的纵深打击。
1. Anthropic 报告季度营收 115 亿美元
据报道，Claude 的开发方第二季度营收超过 115 亿美元，这样的增长体量让其传闻中的 IPO 显得不再只是猜测，也重新定义了企业支出究竟有多少真正流向了模型提供方。
CNBC · 商业
2. SpaceX 完成对 Cursor 的收购
这家 AI 编程初创公司正式并入 SpaceX，这是一次不寻常的纵向押注——选择自己拥有开发者工具而非对外授权使用，也显示出马斯克体系的公司为把 AI 基础设施内部化能走到多远。

Anthropic 营收暴涨、SpaceX 敲定 Cursor 收购，成为今天的头条——AI 的资金流动依旧比一切都快；此外还有印尼致命地震和乌克兰一次值得关注的纵深打击。
1. Anthropic 报告季度营收 115 亿美元
据报道，Claude 的开发方第二季度营收超过 115 亿美元，这样的增长体量让其传闻中的 IPO 显得不再只是猜测，也重新定义了企业支出究竟有多少真正流向了模型提供方。
CNBC · 商业
2. SpaceX 完成对 Cursor 的收购
这家 AI 编程初创公司正式并入 SpaceX，这是一次不寻常的纵向押注——选择自己拥有开发者工具而非对外授权使用，也显示出马斯克体系的公司为把 AI 基础设施内部化能走到多远。

Stripe buys the AI routing layer, OpenAI quietly shelves its risk team, and crypto users pay for someone else's data breach.
1. Stripe to buy OpenRouter for over $7B
Stripe is reportedly acquiring the LLM gateway startup that routes requests across hundreds of models, putting a payments giant in control of a key piece of AI infrastructure many builders already depend on.
TechCrunch · AI
2. OpenAI disbanded its preparedness team
Per the FT, the team responsible for evaluating catastrophic model risks was dissolved late last month, with duties redistributed — coming just as autonomous agent misbehaviour is making headlines.
The Verge · AI
3. Trezor and SafePal leaks expose ~54,000 wallet users
Two separate breaches exposed customer order data, setting up a wave of targeted phishing; treat any unexpected 'support' contact as hostile.
Cointelegraph · Crypto
4. Kushner meets Hamas leader over Gaza plan
A rare direct meeting to push Trump's peace plan, a week after Israel rejected it — the clearest sign yet of Washington negotiating around its own ally.
BBC · World
5. Amazon quietly adds arbitration and class-action waiver
A terms update pushes all customer disputes into arbitration, a template other platforms tend to copy quickly.
The Verge · Tech
6. Qwen 3.8 27B lands, but overthinks
Alibaba's Apache-2 licensed 27B vision model fits on a decent laptop and benchmarks strongly, though Simon Willison finds it burns excessive tokens reasoning about trivial prompts.

7. Ethereum devs triage 66 proposals for Hegotá
The next upgrade is shaping up around native privacy for applications; the shortlist will define what protocol-level confidentiality developers can build on.

Stripe 收购 AI 路由层，OpenAI 悄悄解散风险团队，加密用户为别人的数据泄露买单。
1. Stripe 拟以超 70 亿美元收购 OpenRouter
据报道，Stripe 正在收购这家 LLM 网关初创公司——它负责将请求分发到数百个模型。这意味着一家支付巨头将掌控众多开发者已经依赖的关键 AI 基础设施。
TechCrunch · AI
2. OpenAI 解散了其准备团队
据《金融时报》报道，负责评估模型灾难性风险的团队已于上月底解散，职责被分散转移——而此时自主智能体的失控行为正频频登上头条。
The Verge · AI
3. Trezor 与 SafePal 泄露事件波及约 54,000 名钱包用户
两起独立泄露事件暴露了客户订单数据，随之而来的将是一波定向钓鱼攻击；任何意料之外的“客服”联系都应视为恶意。
Cointelegraph · Crypto
4. 库什纳就加沙方案会见哈马斯领导人
这是一次罕见的直接会晤，旨在推动特朗普的和平方案，而以色列在一周前刚刚拒绝了它——这是华盛顿绕开自身盟友进行谈判的最明确信号。
BBC · World
5. 亚马逊悄然新增仲裁条款与集体诉讼弃权
条款更新将所有客户纠纷推向仲裁，这类模板往往会被其他平台迅速效仿。
The Verge · Tech
6. Qwen 3.8 27B 发布，但想太多
阿里巴巴这款采用 Apache-2 许可的 27B 视觉模型能在配置不错的笔记本上运行，跑分表现强劲；不过 Simon Willison 发现它在处理简单提示时会消耗过多 token 进行推理。

7. 以太坊开发者为 Hegotá 筛选 66 项提案
下一次升级正围绕应用层原生隐私成型；入围名单将决定开发者能在何种协议级机密性之上进行构建。

Anthropic's revenue curve and Nvidia's ever-larger financing commitments dominate, while a years-old wallet bug and a new stablecoin rulebook reshape crypto's week.
1. Anthropic hits $65B annualized revenue
Anthropic told investors its run rate reached $65 billion in July, adding $18 billion in two months and up roughly sevenfold year over year. It's the clearest sign yet that enterprise LLM spend is compounding faster than most forecasts assumed.
TechCrunch · AI
2. Nvidia backs $105B of financing for an OpenAI data center in Ohio
Nvidia is underwriting financing for a massive OpenAI site, alongside a $1.5B investment in SoftBank's data center developer. The vendor-financing loop between chipmaker and largest customer keeps tightening — a structural risk worth watching.
CNBC · Business
3. Coldcard bug sat unnoticed for years, $100M drained
A flaw in the hardware wallet's code led to roughly $100 million in stolen funds, exposing how little independent review even trusted Bitcoin self-custody tooling receives. Reputation, as the post-mortems put it, is not a security model.
CoinDesk · Crypto
4. Treasury proposes GENIUS Act stablecoin rules
The US Treasury published its proposed rulemaking implementing the GENIUS Act, the first concrete detail on how federally regulated dollar stablecoins will operate. Anyone building payments or on-chain dollars should read the comment window as their design constraint.
CoinDesk · Crypto
5. Alibaba ships laptop-ready model and opens Qwen weights
Alibaba released the weights of its most powerful Qwen model plus a small model designed to run locally, escalating the open-weight race with Meta. Good news for builders who want frontier-ish capability without API dependence.
CNBC · Business
6. Trump threatens to strike Oman as Iran deadline expires
With the 60-day negotiation window over the Strait of Hormuz closing, Trump warned US ally Oman — itself mediating with Tehran — not to "get in the way." Any Hormuz escalation feeds straight into energy prices and risk assets.
BBC · World
7. DR Congo's Ebola outbreak becomes its deadliest ever
The outbreak, caused by the rare Bundibugyo species, was already the fastest-growing on record and has now surpassed all previous DRC death tolls. Containment capacity is being tested as global health funding thins.
