币界网报道:

区块链和去中心化人工智能开发商SingularityNET周二宣布,将投资5300万美元用于通用人工智能(AGI)研究,专注于支持去中心化的人工智能和加速本已快速发展的人工智能领域进展所需的硬件。

根据SingularityNET的说法,这笔资金将分阶段推出,首先分配一半(2650万美元)用于创建“世界上第一台模块化超级计算机”,专门为去中心化AGI构建。

SingularityNET创始人兼首席执行官Ben Goertzel在一份声明中表示:“我们的新硬件设施将补充我们已经强大的去中心化计算网络,并提高我们大规模交付尖端人工智能应用程序以及引领人工智能领域的能力。”。

模块化超级计算机是一种可扩展的高性能计算机,可以根据需要轻松添加或更换组件。SingularityNET表示,为了确保其性能和灵活性得到优化,它正在使用几个最先进的组件。

SingularityNET表示,新项目将包括Ecoblox的ExaContainer模块化数据中心解决方案、Nvidia、AMD和Tenstorrent的GPU和CPU,以及华硕和技嘉的高级AI服务器。

SingularityNET计划构建几个模块化计算容器中的第一个,这些容器将作为来自其他AI开发人员Fetch.AI、Ocean Protocol、NuNet、HyperCycle以及它自己的设备网络的去中心化中心。得益于其设计,这些集装箱可以在全球范围内放置和重新安置。

Tenstorrent首席执行官Jim Keller补充道:“Goertzel博士和他的团队为将AGI引入他们的超级计算机和最终产品所做的工作非常出色。”。“Tenstorrent的异构计算,包括我们的CPU、RISC-V架构和AI加速器技术,非常适合帮助他们实现这一目标。”

SingularityNET是专注于AGI的几个组织之一,AGI是人工智能的下一阶段,该技术的能力在各个领域都超过了人类。实现AGI的时间越来越近。Goetzel表示,它将在三到八年内到达。

事实上,该组织已经在提前规划人工超级智能(ASI),许多人认为这将标志着奇点的到来,即人工智能超越人类控制的时刻。

Goertzel多年来一直在研究人工智能及其可能的影响,并长期设想了一个技术和人类相结合的超人类主义未来。

Goertzel之前告诉Decrypt:“我们有更多关于人体不同层次和不同生物体的数据,这是任何人类思维都无法理解的,而且生物统计学和标准机器学习都存在困难。”。“因此,你的人工智能越先进,你就越能将所有不同的生物学数据整合在一起,然后你就可以使用人工智能来生成假设。”

3月,SingularityNET、Fetch AI和Ocean Protocol宣布,这三家区块链AI公司将合并为一个单一的人工超级智能联盟。此次合并旨在加速去中心化AGI的发展,并挑战大型科技公司对人工智能的主导地位。

联盟周一宣布,这三个项目的独立代币已与Fetch AI(FET)代币合并,该代币现在被命名为ASI代币。

Chinese Venture Capital Is Shifting from 'Selecting People' to 'Selecting Cities'

Chinese Venture Capital: Shifting from "Picking Founders" to "Picking Cities" The article discusses a significant shift in China's venture capital (VC) landscape. Historically, VC investments heavily focused on the individual founder's vision, track record, and capability, as seen in early internet-era successes like Wang Xing (Meituan), Li Bin (Nio), and Li Xiang (Li Auto). The belief was that betting on exceptional people was the key to success. However, the rise of hard tech startups—in fields like semiconductors, robotics, AI, and biotech—has changed this calculus. These industries depend heavily on deep, localized ecosystems: specialized talent pools, established supply chains, manufacturing bases, and application scenarios. A city's industrial "resume" now significantly impacts a startup's chances. Examples include Shenzhen's dominance in robotics, Beijing's concentration of AI firms, Suzhou's biotech cluster, and Hefei's successful bet on semiconductor giant ChangXin. This shift is further driven by changes in funding sources. Government-guided funds and state-owned capital now dominate VC limited partners (LPs). These "patient capital" investors prioritize local economic development, job creation, and industrial chain growth alongside financial returns. Their early bets signal viability to other investors. Ultimately, the VC logic remains about managing risk and increasing the odds of success. In the hard tech era, a supportive city ecosystem provides crucial resources—talent, suppliers, R&D, and policy stability—that a single founder cannot easily assemble. The investment due diligence process has thus expanded from evaluating just the founder to also evaluating the founder's city. Consequently, capital is concentrating in a few regions with strong, focused industrial foundations, challenging other cities to build compelling, credible ecosystems to attract investment.

BitGo Buys NYDIG's Trading Unit as Institutions Consolidate Crypto Services

On August 27, 2026, BitGo, a major regulated crypto custodian, announced the acquisition of NYDIG's institutional trading division. This move expands BitGo's service offerings to include derivatives, structured products, and lending services, allowing it to provide institutions with a more comprehensive, single-provider solution for custody, trading, and settlement. The deal adds approximately 30 NYDIG employees and their trading network to BitGo. The acquisition reflects a broader institutional trend towards consolidating digital asset services with fewer, regulated partners. A Fireblocks report from April 2026 indicated strong institutional budget allocation for such infrastructure, with 53% of surveyed firms spending at least $1 million. BitGo, which went public in January 2026, reported significant revenue and client growth alongside platform assets of $65.2 billion. Its regulatory standing, including a federal trust license, is a key factor for risk-conscious institutions. The deal also provides BitGo access to the crypto lending market, despite a recent quarterly decline reported by Galaxy Research, and aligns with growing activity on regulated derivatives venues like CME Group. However, this integration of multiple services attracts closer regulatory scrutiny. The Bank for International Settlements has warned that such crypto conglomerates could concentrate financial risks. For NYDIG, the sale marks a strategic shift to focus on its vertically integrated bitcoin mining and high-performance computing data center business.
