In brief A developer recreated Claude Opus-style reasoning in a local open-source model. The resulting “Qwopus” model runs on consumer hardware and rivals much larger systems. It shows how distillation can bring frontier AI capabilities offline and into developers’ hands.

It plans, it reasons, and it writes code that actually runs.It is also completely inaccessible if you want to run it locally on your own hardware, because it lives behind…

Make CryptoSlate preferred on In November 2024, the SEC celebrated 583 enforcement actions and a record $8.2 billion in remedies, saying crypto was proof it could keep pace with emerging threats.

In brief A new proposal outlines a way to create quantum-resistant Bitcoin transactions without changing the network protocol. The design replaces elliptic-curve assumptions with hash-based puzzles and Lamport signatures.

Bitcoin transactions could be made resistant to future quantum attacks without changing the network’s core protocol, according to a proposal from StarkWare researcher Avihu Mordechai Levy.In a recent paper, Levy describes a “Quantum-Safe Bitcoin” transaction scheme designed to remain secure even if quantum computers break the elliptic-curve cryptography used today. The…

The first reaction came from geopolitics and cross-market repricing, not from obvious on-chain urgency.Since then, the ceasefire narrative has weakened, ETF…
