The TLDR:
Jensen Huang's first-ever post on X shared NVIDIA's letter arguing the world needs both frontier open and closed models, sharpening the open versus closed debate as Microsoft turns to Kimi to power Copilot at a fraction of OpenAI and Anthropic's cost. Jack Dorsey's Buzz, an open-source workspace built on the same Noster and Bitcoin primitives as BitChat, points toward shared compute and cross-application agents that dissolve the walled gardens of Slack and Google Sheets. Stripe is in talks to acquire OpenRouter near $10 billion, extending its push into routing both intelligence and stablecoin payments. In digital asset treasuries, Mallers exited 21 Capital as Tether's XXI merger collapsed, and a new Bitcoin security consortium backed by Anchorage, BlackRock, Block, and Blockstream pledged $15 million toward protocol research and the quantum question.
