On May 14, on-chain detective ZachXBT published a lengthy article exposing the LAB project and its founder (@vsadkovv). The LAB token surged to a $6 billion fully diluted valuation (FDV), but the situation behind it is highly opaque. The team was founded by Vova Sadkov and Mark, who previously left many investors dissatisfied with their Eesee project. Currently, the circulation data for LAB is chaotic, with the official team failing to provide clear token distribution details. The investors and trading platforms are highly overlapping, and most critically, insiders are likely controlling over 95% of the tokens, leaving retail investors completely unaware of the true circulation situation. Additionally, the LAB team unilaterally extended the public sale lock-up period from 3 months to 9 months while also defaulting on marketing fees, providing special treatment to KOLs and whales and requiring them to promote the project. The founder has mixed project funds with personal accounts, with large amounts of money directly entering trading platform deposit addresses. Insiders can sell off tokens without retail investors being aware. On-chain data shows that insiders recently withdrew over 100 million LAB tokens from trading platforms, valued at hundreds of millions of dollars, employing tactics similar to those used in previously manipulated projects.

According to Beating Monitoring, Adaption has launched AutoScientist, a fully automated model training and alignment system. This system can autonomously run through a complete model research cycle, simultaneously optimizing data and training recipes, allowing non-technical personnel to independently fine-tune custom models. Test data shows that AutoScientist averages a 35% performance improvement over the manual configurations of Adaption's internal researchers in fine-tuning performance. In benchmark tests across eight verticals using the Together AI architecture with datasets ranging from 5,000 to 100,000 entries, the system increased the fine-tuning success rate from 48% with manual configurations to 64%. Most fine-tuning based on private data often fails due to catastrophic forgetting and overfitting, but this system provides predictable performance gains. Officials state that this not only lowers the barrier to building proprietary AI but also frees machine learning engineers from the tedious process of manually monitoring parameter searches. The system is currently available for a 30-day free trial, and the team claims that they will also introduce real-time adaptation technology that requires no training in the future.
