Studies find that around 85 - 90% of TON Coin holders are at a loss. 


Recent data and market analysis indicate that a significant portion, around 85-90%, of TON coin holders are currently experiencing losses.

This situation is primarily attributed to a combination of factors including a 20% price drop following the arrest of Telegram's CEO Pavel Durov, which led to a massive sell-off, and broader market sentiment influenced by declining activity on the network, a death cross formation in price charts, and increasing inflation due to no cap on TON's supply.

Additionally, researchers suggest that whale investors have been reducing their holdings, contributing to bearish pressure on the coin's price.

The methodology of DeepSeek created it's model from OpenAI data : Knowledge Distillation 


Knowledge distillation in artificial intelligence is a technique where a smaller, less complex "student" model learns to mimic the behavior of a larger, more sophisticated "teacher" model. The teacher model, which has been extensively trained on a dataset to achieve high accuracy, serves as a guide for the student.

This dual learning approach not only makes the student mimic the teacher's decision-making but also helps in better generalization. The benefits of this method are substantial: it enables the deployment of AI models on resource-constrained environments like mobile phones or IoT devices where the computational capacity is limited. Furthermore, it can lead to models that are not only faster and smaller but in some cases, even more accurate at making predictions due to the regularization effect of learning from soft targets.

OpenAI started a new Deep Research version of Large Language Model (LLM) in it's pro version 


OpenAI has introduced "Deep Research," a new feature in ChatGPT that functions as an autonomous AI agent capable of conducting complex, multi-step research tasks. Powered by a specialized version of the upcoming OpenAI o3 model, Deep Research leverages advanced reasoning to browse, interpret, and analyze vast quantities of online content, including text, images, and PDFs.

This agent can synthesize information from hundreds of sources to generate comprehensive reports that would typically take humans many hours to compile. It aims to serve professionals in knowledge-intensive fields like finance, science, policy, and engineering, offering a significant time-saving advantage by performing tasks in just tens of minutes.

Deep Research is designed to handle complex queries and provide detailed, well-cited outputs, making it particularly valuable for tasks requiring thorough investigation and analysis. Initial access is limited to ChatGPT Pro subscribers, with plans to extend it to Plus, Team, and Enterprise users.

The feature includes capabilities such as embedding images and data visualizations in reports, and it offers detailed summaries of the research process for transparency and verification. However, OpenAI acknowledges potential limitations, including the risk of inaccuracies or misinterpretations, emphasizing that while Deep Research is a powerful tool, it should complement rather than replace human expertise and critical thinking in research.

Can AI start thinking by itself : A recent research thinks so

A recent research paper which reveals that large language models can now think in a latent space.

This means that these models can perform reasoning internally without needing to display every step in a way that's visible to users. This advancement suggests that even smaller models can achieve impressive results by using smarter design rather than just being bigger, making AI more efficient and possibly more widespread.

CZ's Dog Named Broccoli Sparks Meme Coin Frenzy Across Blockchains


Binance co-founder and former CEO Changpeng Zhao, known as "CZ," sparked a meme coin frenzy when he revealed his dog's name, Broccoli, on X, leading to the creation and speculation around numerous "CZ's Dog" tokens on BNB Chain. Tokens like CLEO, BROWNIE, and PERRY saw multi-million dollar market caps as traders tried to predict the name. However, these tokens plummeted after the reveal.

The actual naming of his 18-month-old Belgian Malinois as Broccoli triggered a rush on BNB Chain's Four.meme launchpad, with one Broccoli token momentarily reaching a $400 million market cap.

The frenzy around Broccoli-related tokens on BNB Chain was so intense that it reportedly knocked the Four.meme platform offline. Despite the chaos, one version of the BROCCOLI token settled at around a $74 million market cap, generating over $220 million in trading volume within two hours and creating at least 11 wallets with more than $1 million profits.

The Libra Rug Pull: From Political Promise to Crypto Catastrophe

Libra token was launched with much fanfare, promoted by none other than the President of Argentina, Javier Milei, as a means to stimulate the country's economy.

The token's market cap soared to an astonishing $4.5 billion within hours, fueled by speculative buying and promises of economic rejuvenation. However, the excitement was short-lived as insiders, including the development team, executed what's now infamously known as the "Libra Rug Pull." They manipulated liquidity pools, adding only Libra tokens without any backing assets like USDC, which allowed them to siphon off over $100 million in mere minutes, leaving retail investors with nearly worthless tokens.

The aftermath of the Libra Rug Pull was swift and severe. The token's value plummeted by 94%, erasing billions from the market cap and causing widespread panic selling among investors.
