Introducing Arete-27B: Qwen3.8-27B, post-trained to reinforce Western values.
Chinese open models are currently the strongest available, but they ship with state-aligned behavior in the weights. We built an 803-prompt eval across seven value categories, including freedom of expression, democracy, and privacy, and measured how often a model adopts China’s party line.
After fine-tuning on roughly 53 million tokens, Arete-27B's propaganda rate fell from 22% to 1%, in line with the Western models we tested. Its Hermes Bench score shows no significant performance tradeoffs.
The values in an open model are one fine-tune away.
Our eval, weights, and training data are available now along with the full blog post: nousresearch.com/arete

Today, Bitwise is launching Automated Token Portfolios (ATPs): institutionally designed model portfolios for tokenized stocks that live directly in your crypto wallet—powered by @Coinbase Tokenized Stocks.
Bitwise designs the model, you hold the tokenized stocks in your own wallet, and @Glider__ keeps your holdings aligned automatically, without ever taking custody.
Only available to non-U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933) in eligible jurisdictions outside of the U.S. 🧵

Introducing GEN-1.5, a one-shot learner.
It can learn new tasks in a few seconds. Show it what to do, and it generalizes.
This capability emerged from pretraining on physical data at scale, as a step towards our mission of building general intelligence for the physical world.
Getting in early on @joinCero, the upside of spending. Free purchases, a weekly jackpot, and a credit line you grow from zero.

Bad take. Vaults are simply infrastructure for packaging and distributing onchain financial products.
Those products will have varying risk profiles, and many will not be worth the risk/return. But that does not justify an indictment of the category.
The truth is that without vaults, DeFi cannot succeed. Expecting normal people to directly interface with raw onchain markets is a total pipe dream

x402 will commoditize because rails always do. selling the rail itself is a narrow window.
the defensible businesses are the ones above it (attribution, intent) and below it (yield, settlement).

There is a lot of well-deserved skepticism around tokens right now.
I believe we are close to the end of the long token bear market. The conditions that made this long bear market inevitable are obvious in hindsight, and all of them are getting better.
