🚨BREAKING: Microsoft is offering buyouts to 60,000 employees as AI reshapes its workforce.
The voluntary exit program covers roughly 27% of Microsoft’s 223,000 employees across the U.S., Canada, India and the U.K., extending to workers at the vice president level and below.
The move comes as Microsoft pours billions into AI infrastructure while pushing AI tools across engineering, sales and other teams to improve efficiency.
$BTC rejected the 83.7K region.
Now we’re sweeping the previous wick lows, liquidating billions, with FOMC, a new monthly open, midterms and Anthropic all ahead.
They’re quite literally pricing in the worst before continuation. This is not the time to turn bearish, especially with BTC sweeping the lows.
“That means there’s a good chance we start taking the other side next week.”
Indeed, we’re taking out $BTC shorts now.
Our first significant barrier is around 83.7-84.2K.
If we fail to flip this area, expect more range bound price action. Reclaim it, and the chances of revisiting the highs increase.

Here's a very crude simplified chutes roadmap/plan, for near term:
- move the most unprofitable things off of the subnet, including today's announcement of some (not all) additional inference options (not paid via emissions)
- this allows us to scale the things we want and need to avoid capacity issues/better direct incentive - this includes models we use to build data pipelines and relationships to other teams/networks/etc
- add options that are completely revenue positive (hourly pricing/rentals/simple docker based jobs/etc), TEE, private, secure, priced above cost, more extensive version of private chutes we have today basically
- expand the hourly compute offerings to also include CPU only (e.g. to run agents, web browsers, sandboxes, non-GPU work of any kind)
- use some of the incentive for ideally non-datacenter based model training and serving
- build a non-extractable product on chutes from the models we build, via dynamic edge nodes, possibly from the epigenesis work (smaller faster cheaper faster than lora customizations from the sparse sections of pretrained model, participant supplied)
- models and pipeline etc. will be open source, the customization and ensemble thereof will live only in chutes, inc. the continuously evolving set of served variations/RL/etc.
We'd like, to the extent we can, attract participants who want to build and have no obligation to pay datacenters or any particular hardware vendor, to keep the value inside the subnet at all times by attacking sell pressure at the source (DC commitments, chip purchases, etc).
We will continue to have secure TEE inference and GPUs; not elimating anything wholesale, just focusing more on a commodity that doesn't have to flow out to DCs and single hardware vendors.
NVIDIA reportedly has 75% profit margins, revenue for the sake of revenue fueling GPU reselling goes straight to one place, basically. Fine, I guess, but I'd rather work together as individuals with whatever hardware we can bring, to a reasonable degree.
🚨 BREAKING: SpaceX locked Anthropic into paying them $3.1 billion per MONTH for compute starting December
$37B a year
= $120.5 BILLION through 2029
Every month, ~80% of Anthropic's current revenue would be SpaceXSI compute bill
BIGGER than its Google and Amazon long-term deals
Anthropic warns short-term compute "carries a higher cost per unit" and will "compress our operating margin"

True? No clue. The point of parallax is to put the network into as many hands as possible in a verifiable trustless way, and for the output (the models) to not require yet another source for the wealthiest companies on earth to monopolize (that is, a model that can run even on a phone and not require "now's" completely unaffordable mega GPU).
The current AI marketplace is fueled by a massive debt market with very few beneficiaries at the world's expense. If you like K shaped economies here it is in plain sight; trickle up resources, consolidating into a few, spreading the gap at ever-increasing speed. Whether this is self serving for Mr. Musk to gather up more resources for pennies on the dollar or a true statement is irrelevant, the outcome is the same.
Will it crash tomorrow, next week, never? No clue, but I would rather not build the foundation on this gamble.
I'm possibly (probably?) doing it wrong, but the goal is and has always been, people first, which means accessibility first. Let's make "good enough" models with no kill switch and no hardware moat. Please and thank you.
If we get superintelligence out into the universe without/at the cost of consciousness to witness it, we have accomplished nothing, and have in fact forgotten the whole point.

Pretty much.
As of the past few weeks, debt markets have almost entirely shut off access to money for any company that doesn’t have substantial revenue independent of AI data centers.
SpaceX closed $40B of debt for GPUs, but we’re investment grade and have Starlink & launch revenue.
That means the 200+ neoclouds are going to see guppy-level death and consolidation. Some will make it through, but not many.

What's new: Access funds sent to your Substrate-mapped EVM address.
Your native Bittensor, Astar, and Shiden accounts have a corresponding EVM-format address (0x..). Tokens sent there now appear in your Talisman portfolio, ready to move back to your native account in one click.
Plus, the small stuff that adds up:
• Enable tokens and networks right from the swap picker
• Passkey unlock? A nudge to turn on quick unlock at login
• Dapps wake up an idle Talisman quicker
• Swaps token picker loads faster
V3.12.0 keeps you moving. 🪬

We've started rolling out additional models/capacity to the chutes platform, namely Qwen3.8 Max and DeepSeek V4.1 Pro (with more to follow soon, along with additional details). They are currently in beta mode, please test and give us feedback!
Unfortunately, due to the mechanics of these new model offerings and current general GPU/compute market dynamics, subscriptions are no longer feasible. Your subscriptions will automatically sunset/not renew at the end of the current subscription period.
If you have an active subscription it will continue to work normally until the end of the billing period. The two new models listed above are not available with subscriptions and are PayGo only, and they are not currently supported in TEE/confidential compute/E2EE mode.
Please reach out at [email protected] with any questions or concerns.

JUST IN: Claude AI developer Anthropic officially files for IPO under ticker $ANT.
If Bittensor $TAO can build fundamental blocks for running profitable businesses it gets interesting.
If better AI can originate and be hosted on Bittensor, and that Bittensor is truly decentralized, it gets really interesting.
If Bittensor manages to fine-tune itself to incentivize proper useful work like the above, it gets further than my bearish expectations.
The question is if human greed will break it up before it gets there.
And subnets like Chutes, Lium, Hippius, SayGM, KubeTEE, and some others I didn't think about, are the kind of core layers that gives me hope in Bittensor.
What doesnt give me hope is the usual crypto business with a nice website, scammy owners, incompetent devs and relentless fake shills

When you send a prompt to Chutes with E2EE, it runs inside a hardware-attested TEE with end-to-end encryption. We can't read it, and neither can anyone who asks us for it.
Even holding the TLS certificate for chutes.ai, we don't see prompts or responses. If we were ever ordered to hand them over, all anyone would get is ciphertext.
The whole stack is open source, so you don't have to take our word for it.

Muchos mensajes, análisis y comentarios como este, asegurando que las pandillas de Haití no son como las de El Salvador; que son sanguinarias, que están fuertemente armadas, que nadie ha podido vencerlas, que todas las misiones han fracasado, que estamos cayendo en una trampa, que no sabemos a lo que nos enfrentamos, que será nuestra ruina, que vamos camino a nuestro Waterloo.
Pero cuando Dios nos conceda la victoria, los mismos que hoy dicen todo eso cambiarán su discurso. Dirán que siempre fue fácil, que cualquiera podía hacerlo, que las pandillas de Haití no eran tan peligrosas como se pensaba.
En fin, nunca los hemos escuchado y no vamos a empezar ahora.
Todos los que se han enlistado son creyentes y hemos encomendado esta misión a Dios, mientras que las pandillas de Haití son satánicas y es de conocimiento público que hacen sacrificios humanos.
Dios nos concederá la victoria. El Creador del Universo está con nosotros.
Deuteronomio 28:7
“Jehová derrotará a tus enemigos que se levantaren contra ti; por un camino saldrán contra ti, y por siete caminos huirán de delante de ti”.
¿BUKELE Y SU WATERLOO?
Con el anuncio del envío hacia Haiti, desde El Salvador, de un contingente de 3000 militares, cuya misión es encontrar a los 4 miembros de las fuerzas armadas de ese país, secuestrados el pasado domingo, cuando penetraron en territorio dominado por las pandillas y fueron atacados por una pandilla de irregulares armados, se avizoran en las próximas horas fuertes enfrentamientos armados.
A estas horas, y sabiendo cómo se resuelven las cosas en Haití, las probabilidades de que estos militares continúen vivos son mínimas, así que si no hay posibilidad de negociar nada, y por lo tanto lo que se plantea es un enfrentamiento armado entre tropas de El Salvador y las pandillas que son dueñas del territorio donde fueron atacados y secuestrados los militares centroamericanos.
Según lo publicado en la prensa internacional, los responsables son dos organizaciones criminales que dominan el área de “Croix des Bouquets”, una de ellas dirigida por Claude Celestin, quien es cabeza de la pandilla Chen Mechan (perros rabiosos), y Wilson Joseph (“Lammo San Jou) líder de la banda 400 Mawozo.
En el día de ayer, este último desafió públicamente al presidente Nayib Bukele en un vídeo publicado en las redes sociales, donde advirtió que no se irá de Haití, y mostró miles de municiones y pertrechos con arma de diversos calibres, que según el están esperando a los salvadoreños.
Tenemos entonces la bandeja servida para un enfrentamiento armado a solo 45 kms de la frontera de la República Dominicana y Haití, de un ejército de pandilleros armados sin nada que perder, frente a tropas regulares de El Salvador, que pelearán una guerra urbana en las calles de un país que no es el suyo y es absolutamente desconocido.
Ya en el pasado reciente, los Estados Unidos en 1994 mando 20,000 soldados e intentó organizar a Haití para que se volviera a la senda de lo que ellos llaman democracia, y luego en el 2004 invadieron de nuevo junto a Canada, lo que terminó en la creación de una fuerza multinacional, la Minustah, que terminó en el más absoluto fracaso, es decir, estamos metidos en un tema que no tiene solución.
Si hay alguien que tiene experiencia en combatir pandillas lo es Nayib Bukele, el presidente de el Salvador, su historia de combate a las “Maras” está a la vista de todos, solo que Haití no es el terreno amigo donde peleó esa guerra, un país de habla y cultura hispana donde jugaba de local, el país caribeño es un transplante de África en América, con una historia de violencia típica de las sociedades primitivas.
Cuando Napoleón envió a sus tropas a sofocar la revolución haitiana en 1802, pensó que miles de solados podrían devolver la colonia a sus dueños, pero solo un año después, Dessalines y la fiebre amarilla los obligó a rendirse, ¿será Haití el Waterloo de Bukele?.
El futuro dirá.
