The trend reflects a narrowing performance gap between open-source LLMs and their closed-source counterparts, indicating a vibrant future for AI innovation and enterprise adoption.
Profluent, a Berkeley startup, has used generative AI technology to create new gene editors based on CRISPR. The company has used one of the AI-generated gene editors to edit human DNA, but it has yet to put any of them through clinical trials. While Profluent plans to open source the gene editors generated by its AI technology, it will not be open sourcing the AI technology itself. The project is part of a wider effort to build AI technologies that improve medical care.

The Department of Justice says that Binance CEO CZ Zhao should spend three years in jail for money laundering charges. The sentence is harsher than the federal guideline of 18 months because of Zhao's willful violation of U.S. law. In November 2023, Zhao pleaded guilty to money laundering and sanctions violations, forcing Binance to pay $4.3 billion in penalties and barring Zhao from involvement with Binance for at least three years. The sentencing is scheduled for April 30th.
The two founders of Samourai Wallet have been arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering. Samourai is being accused of facilitating more than $100 million in money laundering from illegal wallets and over $2 billion in unlawful transactions. The website has been seized and replaced with a government notice.
Paradigm has released its roadmap for scaling the Reth Ethereum execution client. The roadmap proposes changing the scalability metric from transactions per second to gas per second as a more nuanced way to understand the network's computational throughput. Paradigm plans to use vertical and horizontal scaling — accomplished via a parallel EVM, multi-rollup support, and cloud-native nodes, among other improvements — to achieve 1 gigagas/s, 200x faster than Base and 800x faster than mainnet.

Taking profit primarily depends on personal circumstances, such as outstanding debt and other opportunity costs of money. In a bull run, take profit on the way up, for example, sell 10% for every 20% price increase. A lot of mental fortitude is required to know when to buy and sell, so the easiest strategies pre-plan or automate decisions.
This thread examines the depeg of Renzo's liquid staking token (ezETH), the protocol's airdrop plan, and the misleading token allocation chart. The ezETH depeg was likely caused by a sell-off following the conclusion of the Season 1 Airdrop and misleading chart on token allocation, leading to liquidations on leverage protocols and losses for users.
This thread discusses the recent depeg of Renzo Protocol's liquid staking token, ezETH, noting that such events are becoming increasingly common in the crypto space.

To learn to think like a designer, one needs to be willing to try things over and over and over again. Sometimes, changing all the variables, sometimes a few variables, and sometimes just changing one variable. The design process is organic and engaging, requiring constant feeding of the mind with diverse content.
Designers transform observations into simulations of possible futures, bringing a fresh perspective to data and business analysis. Despite the prevalence of quantitative data, qualitative insights are still vital, and securing them remains challenging.
