Nvidia must turn an important page in its history. On Thursday, the group announced the immediate departure of its co-founder, Jensen Huang, who leaves both the general management, the presidency, and his seat on the board of directors. Colette Kress takes over as interim, while Harvey C. Jones becomes the first chairman of the company's board in its history. Beyond the change of leaders, this decision raises a much broader question: can Nvidia maintain its lead without the one who shaped its strategy for 33 years?

Elon Musk does not often give compliments to his competitors. Yet, on November 10 on X, the head of xAI acknowledged that Grok 4.8 remained inferior to Claude Opus 5.5, which he even called a "masterpiece."

On October 29, hackers attributed by the FBI to North Korea emptied Binance's hot wallets in about twenty minutes: $6.3 billion, the largest crypto theft ever recorded. Binance assures that its customers will lose nothing and says it has already covered 95% of the gap with its own funds. But the entry point, the infected laptop of an engineer, is the same as that of attacks targeting individual accounts every day. This is the risk that OKX covers with OKX Shield, free of charge.

The official Shibarium account has not posted anything since July 13, 2026, while the network is going through a technical rebuilding phase. This absence does not prove the blockchain's abandonment, but it deprives its users of a reliable channel at a time when the explorer remains partially indexed and activity slows down.

Anthropic wants to maintain its IPO despite the fall of tech values, but its expected valuation has already dropped from about 2000 to 1500 billion dollars. This change not only reflects a less enthusiastic market: investors are beginning to compare Claude's growth with the colossal cost of the infrastructure needed to support it.

On Saturday, November 7, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the Swiss association Qubic AGI Lab hosts a free day of AI talks on decentralized artificial intelligence and mining on the Qubic network at Escape Bar in Basel, according to the official event page.

DeepSeek veut réduire la dépendance de ses agents IA à la supervision humaine. L'entreprise chinoise a présenté le 31 octobre 2026 une architecture baptisée « Super-agent », conçue pour exécuter plusieurs tâches simultanément sans solliciter constamment l'utilisateur. Selon ses chercheurs, une personne peut actuellement suivre seulement trois à cinq sessions d'agents IA à la fois. DeepSeek propose de dépasser cette limite grâce à un système de coordination automatisé.

The company behind ChatGPT is now seeking 20 billion dollars, down from the initial 30 billion. Its targeted valuation also decreases from 1,400 to 1,250 billion dollars. This revision comes as investors become more cautious about the colossal spending in AI.

Trezor asks CryptoBilis buyers since March 2026 to move their crypto assets after the reporting of an implant in a Safe 5. The device has not yet been examined.

Vitalik Buterin points out a limit of artificial intelligence: despite its extensive knowledge, it struggles to assess the depth of a text, especially when discovering it for the first time. For the co-founder of Ethereum, this difference between knowledge and wisdom deserves special attention.

Experts are not immune to the influence of artificial intelligence. In an experiment conducted by Anthropic, 50 analysts followed Claude's preferences in 86% of the decisions studied, without knowing that the model was advocating randomly chosen options.

Every crypto product sits on a blockchain API. A wallet that shows a balance calls one. A trading bot calls two or three. An AI agent that answers "what is in this wallet" calls one through MCP. Four layers do that work. Node providers expose raw chain state over RPC. Indexers turn raw logs into queryable tables. Data APIs return priced, decoded, ready-to-render values. Swap rails move assets between chains and venues. Most production stacks combine at least two of the four.

Chinese stocks have lost about 2.4 trillion dollars since May, but the main risk goes beyond investors' portfolios. By dropping valuations and household confidence, the correction could deprive AI companies of the capital needed to compete with the United States.

Keystone makes a radical decision after its hack. The manufacturer will destroy 18,835 unsold crypto wallets after the exposure of an authenticity key. The incident also exposed 25,964 buyer records, according to the company.

Anthropic filed its S-1 form with the US regulator on October 26, in preparation for a Nasdaq listing under the symbol ANT. However, neither the number of shares nor their price has been set yet. On derivatives platforms, traders are already anticipating a valuation close to $1.9 trillion.

Bitchat, Jack Dorsey’s Bluetooth messaging app, dominates the French App Store. What the rankings say, what the app can do, and what remains to be verified.

Ethereum researchers are now using artificial intelligence agents to analyze the unexpected effects of Glamsterdam on existing contracts. This initiative comes after the postponement of the planned test on Hoodi, but it does not mean that the issue is already resolved.

On 3 September 2026, OpenAI launched GPT-6 Astra and its president Greg Brockman closed the presentation with "Welcome to the AGI era." The same day, ARC Prize, the organization that runs the ARC-AGI-3 test, measured the model at 99.9% in its best configuration, against 30% for the previous top score. Within seven weeks, Google answered with Gemini 4 Argon, Anthropic with Claude Fable 5.1 and Opus 5.5, Mistral with a 1-trillion-parameter model, and Qubic published a score obtained without a single graphics card. This comparison ranks seven systems on what can be checked: published scores, prices, openness, compute and governance.

The Swedish government offices cut access to ChatGPT and Claude on their staff computers from Monday, October 26. Only Microsoft Copilot remains authorized, after a security review. Except that Copilot can run Claude models.

Ken Griffin believes investors are "almost certainly" in an AI-related bubble. The founder of Citadel does not, however, question the technology itself. His concern is mainly about the amounts invested, the cost of GPUs, and the difficulty many companies have in turning their expenses into productivity gains. For him, a correction could eliminate many players while allowing the future giants of the sector to emerge.
