Why Is Musk Still Doubling Down on Grok Bot Despite Skyrocketing Costs?
This article examines Musk's aggressive promotion of Grok Bot and the three-step AI strategy behind it: infrastructure, models, and applications. SpaceX secures computing power and energy, a partnership with Anthropic counters OpenAI, and the Cursor team builds the Grok Bot app. The article flags concerns including soaring service costs, Grok's lagging model competitiveness, and fierce competition at the application layer, arguing that the next phase of AI agents is the Life Agent covering consumer scenarios. BTC, LINK, and SOL appear only in recommendations and disclaimers, unrelated to the main topic.

Leaks Suggest Claude Fable 5.5 and GPT 6.2 Astra May Be Launching Soon
Reports of leaked clues point to unreleased AI models from Anthropic and OpenAI. Users say some Claude Opus 5.5 requests were routed to an unreleased Fable 5.5 model, a Mythos 5.5 label appeared in hidden code on Anthropic's website, and a claude-fable-5-5 entry showed up in the LiteLLM catalog. Meanwhile, OpenAI's gpt-6.2-astra surfaced in Codex usage data for some accounts. These rumors rest on demos, catalog entries, and website labels, none officially confirmed, and the traces were quickly removed. The article also touches on Anthropic's IPO progress and its model release history.

Musk's Neuralink Just Got a Major Upgrade: Grok Plugged Into the Brain, Letting You Control AI With Your Thoughts
Neuralink's latest breakthrough: over a 72-hour hackathon, Musk's team built eight new capabilities that let ALS patient Kenneth use his thoughts to trigger the Grok agent to operate a computer autonomously. With the Bloom app and a system-level brain-computer input method, he can order coffee, send messages, and make calls just by thinking. The brain is becoming AI's native input, and thought-driven agents could dramatically expand neural bandwidth, reshaping human-computer interaction.

NEAR Protocol Launches Confidential Pre-IPO Futures for AI Giant Anthropic
NEAR Protocol has announced the launch of confidential Pre-IPO perpetual futures for AI startup Anthropic on the near.com platform, trading under the ticker ANT and built on the Hyperliquid blockchain.

The ANT contract is currently trading around $115, though price fragmentation exists across different liquidity pools.

130% Surge in Near Protocol (NEAR) Spot Inflows Secures $1.3 Million
This article analyzes NEAR Protocol's recent price action and capital flows. NEAR rose from around $1.60 in August to a October high of $6.00 before pulling back roughly 25% to its current $4.486. On the 8-hour timeframe, spot net inflows hit $1.3 million, a 130% increase—the first clear signal of buyers returning since the October peak. Price found support and rebounded at the 50-day moving average near $4.30. The article notes long-term moving averages remain upward, but volume is shrinking and RSI is neutral; a break below key support at $4.30 would undermine the October rally, with resistance levels at $4.73, $5.00, $5.40, and $6.00.

NEAR Protocol Open Interest Falls 9.5% as NEAR Price Drops 8%
NEAR Protocol's open interest fell 9.5% over the past 24 hours while the token's price dropped 7.9% to around $4.50. A simultaneous decline in price and open interest typically signals deleveraging, with traders reducing risk exposure. NEAR has lost about 13.2% over the past seven days, giving back part of its September rally from below $2 to above $5. On the technical side, $4.50–$4.55 is the first support zone, and a break below could open the door to the October 8 low of $4.29; a move back above $4.90–$5.00 would be needed to confirm buyers have regained control.

Ledger Rushes Out Atom to Save Itself Amid Unresolved Security Fallout—and Gets Roasted
On October 16, Ledger unveiled Atom, a phone-style hardware wallet priced at $849 for the founder's edition and $899 for the standard model, with a mid-2027 launch planned. It features dual operating systems, a dedicated security chip, FPGA-based hardware screen isolation, and tamper-resistant design, plus an AI agent to help prepare transactions—though sensitive actions still require confirmation on the secure screen. The article notes that CryptoBilis, Ledger's Southeast Asian distributor, suffered a supply chain attack that cost users nearly $100 million, with no clear compensation plan. The community has also questioned the pricing, the conspicuous branding, and the risk of physical coercion. CertiK data shows 52 wrench attacks in the first half of 2026, causing $124.1 million in losses.

NEAR Targets Protocol Security After $112 AI Proof-Generation Run
NEAR Protocol plans to apply AI-assisted formal verification to its protocol and core smart contracts, following a NEAR AI report that solved 672 PutnamBench math problems at a model cost of $111.85. The article notes that production-grade verification still requires accurate software models, clearly defined requirements, and proofs covering real deployed implementations; formal verification can only guarantee correctness for specific properties within stated assumptions and must complement testing and code review. NEAR co-founder Illia Polosukhin ties the research to the risks posed by AI-generated code.
