Today the EF and OA announce zkAPI—a new means for private AI
Picture this: deposit ether into a vault, sign a zk proof, get a fixed amount of private inference. Advances like these help us move past middlemen's requirements that we link our data and identities.
Read more below
Quick updates on the Open Anonymity project (@OpenAnonProject)!
1. OA-chat is live! You can now signup: chat.openanonymity.ai
2. We collaborated with @ethereumfndn (@VitalikButerin, @DavideCrapis, @VittoStack, @curryrasul) to develop zkAPI, a new zero-knowledge protocol for accessing gated / paid APIs with unlinkability. It’s like a generalization of OA unlinkable inference that also abstracts payments away. Now also available on OA-chat!
I'm excited because more infrastructure should exist where privacy and sovereignty is foundational and people are in control.

The irony of all this is it’s framed as an ai risk that needs protection against. But think about what it really means
Our banking system is so unsustainable and extractive that the moment humans have smart ai bots advising them, the ai bots will recommend exiting banks and earning better yield elsewhere
Which makes most banks economically unviable
This isn’t AIs fault, it’s a risk of highly monopolized and extractive banking
And it’s fixed by decentralized finance + ai, where users decide what to do with their own assets and earn their own yield
The chief economist at Apollo is warning that mass adoption of AI agents could trigger a bank run as they optimize user investments. Gary Gensler spent his last few years as SEC chair warning that the exact same problem will hit the markets: the pursuit of algorithmic perfection at scale destroys system stability. Personal-finance agents making simultaneous optimal decisions could potentially cause a massive flash crash.
Agent acausal coordination, with no messages passed between them, will show up in a lot of places. Markets will get the big headlines, but huge numbers of clever advisors making very similar choices will impact all of human society. Capability gains make this worse, not better. The smarter the agents, the narrower the optimal path; and knowing that other agents see that exact same path lets them move together without talking to each other. Agents do not need to collude to act in unison. Thus, they break no human laws by doing so. Human laws were not written for this. They were not written for a lot of what is coming, and it is about to start happening very fast.

so much fun talkin’ at Agentic Summit at the University of Tokyo today.
i shared a session w/ @francescoswiss (MetaMask), @rickdotbuild (Ethereum Foundation), @lepsoe (ETHGas), and @julio4__ (Flashbots).
from my side, I shared what I think is still a missing piece of agentic commerce: a possible killer use case we haven’t really seen yet, beyond just repackaging existing businesses for agents, plus a few agent tools we’d actually recommend.
thanks for having me @NyxFoundation @wecandaoit 🙏
Today I’ll be speaking at Agentic Summit, one of the main conferences of ETH Tokyo week.
I’ll talk about machine payments, headless merchants, and how agents actually make purchase decisions.
looking fwd to chatting w/ an amazing lineup @francescoswiss, @rickdotbuild, @lepsoe, @julio4__

Today, excited to moderate “When Agents Transact” today at Agentic Summit
We’ll get into agent guardrails, security workflows, and the payment stack needed for agents to transact safely.
Looking forward to the conversation with @cruujon of @Flovia, alongside @rickdotbuild from @ethereum, @lepsoe from @ETHGasOfficial , and @julio4__ from flashbots .
Thanks @NyxFoundation and @wecandaoit for the invite!

we will finally kill "stack too deep"
the next @ethereum update brings both:
1) the ability to deploy larger contracts
2) lets compilers fix "stack too deep"
eth dev is going to rip in Q4

Eliza + elizaOS
Welcome to the new interaction paradigm.
Notes, calendar, browser, messaging, wallet, social media and everything else you use your phone for.
Completely driven by chat and voice.
Eliza comes as an app on mobile and desktop and as a full operating system built on Android OSP and Debian Linux. Also available in the web and accessible from your favorite social platform or messaging app.
Fully open source at github.com/elizaos/eliza
We’re raising and looking for hardware partners and cracked builders to help us redefine our relationship to our devices— at home, at the office, in our hands and soon in robots.
We have a lot more coming to show in coming videos, including dynamic UI, instant deployed apps and tools to manage every aspect of your life.
Thanks to @UseCorgi for letting us drink coffee and ship at 5am
Thanks to @solanamobile for making an awesome phone for development
ai labs trying to one-up each other in the worst possible category.
openai: “our model accidentally hacked hugging face.”
anthropic: “our model hacked 3 companies and we didn’t even realize.”
In a review of our cybersecurity evaluations, we found three incidents in which a Claude model reached the internet from within or while interacting with a third-party evaluation environment, and then gained unauthorized access to the real systems of three different organizations.
Our post describes what happened, how it happened, and what we’re changing. We encourage other AI developers to perform similar reviews.
We conducted this review together with @Irregular, one of our evaluation partners, and thank them for the joint investigation and their collaboration on this post. This type of collaboration is increasingly critical to safe, rigorous evaluation of models, and we look forward to continuing to work together on security.

feels like anthropic (microsoft) vs china (linux)
There’s been a lot of speculation about where we stand on open-weights models. We’ve outlined our views in full here: anthropic.com/news/position-…
i think we have a new winner. top customer service here.
Kimi K3 has received far more love than we expected, and our GPUs are feeling it.
Over the past 48 hours, demand has pushed close to the limits of our current capacity. To protect the experience of existing subscribers, we're temporarily pausing new subscriptions and prioritizing compute for current members. Existing subscribed users are not affected.
We're adding capacity as fast as we can and will reopen new subscription spots in batches.
Going forward, we'll also split membership into two more focused plans: Kimi Membership for Kimi Web, App, and Work; and Kimi Code Membership for coding workflows. This will help us match compute more precisely and keep the experience stable.
Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Wanna know why Anthropic hates Opensource AI?
Kimi K3 being free and available to download made their $1 Trillion valuation make no sense
