AI Agent没有边界,但开发者们却充斥着爱恨纠葛

新年伊始,AI Agent 赛道两大王牌项目 ai16z、swarms 市值双双创下新高。

本是皆大欢喜,但 ai16z 创始人 Shaw 却给了 swarms 当头一棒,发文痛批 swarms 项目开发者 Kye Gomez,直言其“并不懂如何编写代码,并具有欺诈历史”,矛头直指“人品问题”。Kye 此前曾因 19 岁辍学高中生身份备受关注,并被赞为「天才少年」。

此番争辩,也导致两大项目短时下跌超过 20% ,但仅仅过了一天便收复失地,swarms 更是续创 0.6 美元新高。

此事也将 AI Agent 背后的开发者们的爱恨情仇等复杂关系,再度置于聚光灯下。Odaily星球日报将于本文对近期具有代表性的 AI Agent 背后开发者们之间的关系进行简要梳理,从侧面观察 Dev 们对 AI Agent 及相关 Meme 币价格走势影响。

关系图的中心节点:ai16z创始人 Shaw

根据 Coingecko 数据,截止发稿前,ai16z 目前价格为 2.17 美元, 7 日涨幅 70% ,市值暂报 24 亿美元,仅次于 Base 生态 AI Agent 代币龙头 VIRTUAL 和老牌 AI 概念代币 FET,位列 AI Agent 板块第三名。

如此亮眼的表现,自然也为其背后开发者 Shaw 带来了海量的关注。尤其是 Shaw 本人近期线下频频路演,与不同地区的社区成员密切交流,其对外发声也被视为“AI Agent 领域的重要信号之一”。Shaw 此前曾大力推动的 Space 线上会议进行 AI Agent 开发教育,也被视为“AI x Crypto 深度融合”的布道之举。

频繁主动发声,为 Shaw 带来了不少拥护者,但也成为与其他项目开发者爆发冲突的诱因。

AI Agent Dev 们的关系图

Shaw VS Kye:不加掩饰的互相讨厌

Shaw 此前也曾对 swarms 开发者 Kye 提出批评。2024 年 12 月 21 日,他曾发文表示:“我真的不喜欢公开指出别人的问题。这样做对我们的项目是个巨大的风险,会让很多人感到紧张,而且我也不想打击那些努力工作的开发者。但有些人会窃取别人的工作成果,还试图把功劳占为己有。”

Shaw 晒出了一篇 2023 年 8 月发表在 Reddit 机器学习论坛的帖子,其中指出一个 Github repo 可能存在窃取他人成果的痕迹,而该 repo 属于 Swarms 背后开发者 Kye。评论区也有人指出,Kye 曾直接复制粘贴了某代码库的代码。“根据他的代码提交频率和代码内容来看,Kye 大概率是通过 ChatGPT 生成代码的。”

Reddit 帖子及评论区爆料

而最近这次 Shaw 对 Kye 的批评,力度更是远超以往。

在 Shaw 的批评推文发布后,作为 AI Agent 的 swarms 项目官方 X 平台账号回复道:“可以指出哪里的代码有问题以便我们可以解决修复它吗?”

Shaw 也毫不示弱,直接对线道:“你是个小偷和骗子,普林斯顿大学的人和像 OpenAI 高级成员 Gwern 这些人都有证据。”链接和截图则是 Kye 此前的代码被指认为 ChatGPT 自动生成所得的说明。

Shaw 的对线语录及证据

面对 Shaw 的质疑,swarms 开发者 Kye 一改此前的针锋相对,选择了友善回应。“如果对 swarms 有疑问,请提交反馈,我们会立即修复问题。我们致力于为所有人提供无缝的 AI Agent 构建体验。”

去年 12 月 22 日,Shaw 首次批评 Kye 的时候,后者的反应非常激烈。Kye 认为,Shaw 出售代币破坏了项目导致许多投资者亏损,自己继续持有 swarms 和 mcs 从未出售,自己才是致力于 AI Agent 实现功能和实用性的“正统所在”。在 Shaw 将其账号屏蔽后,Kye 一边发文嘲讽,一边进行“身份攻击”,认为 Shaw、Eliza 及 ai16z 等相关人员和项目都是骗局。

Shaw & a16z crypto CTO:“DM 过的网友”

作为 ai16z DAO 组织基金的发起人,Shaw 与 a16z 的接触并不多,直接接触的 a16z 方面人员也就只有 a16z Crypto CTO。此前,Shaw 本人也曾发文说明:ai16z 与 a16z 没有任何关系,并强调购买相关概念代币的行为很傻。不过,其在评论区补充称“我也是傻子之一”,反而让不明真相的用户进一步误解两者关系,并购入 ai16z 相关代币。

去年 11 月,a16z Crypto 首席技术官 Eddy Lazzarin 曾在 X 上发帖透露了该风投机构与 ai16z DAO 之间正在进行的对话。此前,ai16z 创始人之一 Shaw 此前在 X 上发帖寻求联系 a16z,Lazzarin 回复道:“查看你的 DM”。当时 ai16z 受此消息影响, 24 H 涨幅一度接近 44% ,市值超 4.8 亿美元。

Shaw & Baoskee:平台与项目方的友好共生关系

作为“去 VC 型投资平台”,daos.fun 的一大杰作就是 ai16z 这个社区共有型基金,因而,Shaw 与 ai16z 启动平台 daos.fun 创立者 baoskee 之间关系称得上非常友好。

此前,baoskee 曾针对“ ai16z 代币权限”一事做出正面回应,直接站台 ai16z 及 Shaw 本人:“ai16z 代币确实是可铸造的,铸造权将由 DAO 代币持有者控制(并有否决权保护)……我们会对此进行彻底审计。”

某种层面而言,二者算得上是共存共生的关系,一根绳上的蚂蚱。

Shaw & Lucid:共同创立 ai16z 的合伙人

另外一位 ai16z DAO 的合伙人 Lucid 则是 Shaw 的“左膀右臂”,共同参与了 ai16z 的创建,并且自己也发起创建了 Base 生态 AI Agent BeffAI

此前,Shaw 曾发文寻找对 Eliza Runescape 插件及代理开发感兴趣的开发者,当时该项目的对接人就是 Lucid。

Shaw & Skely:ai Pool 项目的支持者与发起人

曾在数小时内募资 30000 多枚 SOL 的 AI Agent 项目 ai Pool(METAV) 发起人 Skely,则是 Shaw 引以为范例的开发者。

在 Skely 的 X 平台账号遭恶意举报后被封禁时,作为ai16z 创始人的 Shaw 第一时间转发了社区成员的消息以示支持,并在随后发文表示,aiPool 代币已发布,Skely 仍在努力恢复 X 账户;对前者的支持不吝于言辞。

Shaw & KOTO 9 X:单方面的欣赏

此前曾发行 AI Meme 币 KOTO 的 KOTOX 9 曾被人怀疑为 Shaw 一开始批评的对象(实际上是指 swarms 开发者 Kye),但 Shaw 随后回应澄清道:“不是他,KOTO 9 X 是个很好的开发者。”言辞之中,不乏欣赏之意。

Shaw & Dan Romero:Farcaster 生态建设推动者

去年 12 月,Shaw 曾发文表示:“Farcaster 是编程式应用的未来。Eliza 目前已经集成了 Farcaster。且其以个人名义向当时每一位将 AI Agent 嵌入到 Farcaster 生态的 Eliza 框架开发者捐出价值 420 美元的 degenai 代币。”

此举自然得到了 Farcaster 生态联创 Dan Romero 的大力支持,其在评论区回复道“LFG”。

由此来看,双方某种程度上类似合作伙伴关系。

除此以外,Shaw 还积极推动了 ai16z、Eliza 与去中心化算力网络 Aethir、去中心化 AI 操作系统 0G、知名 DEX 平台 Orca 等项目的密切合作。

Smolworld 的其他开发者们:Shaw 的团队伙伴们

在去年年底的推文中,当被惊讶地问及是否不再参与 Smolworld 相关工作而是转而专注于 Eliza 和 ai16z 的时候,Shaw 也回应道:“仍然在管理团队,但日常开发工作主要由 lordasado、Koshi 和 Alextitonis 负责。”

小结:AI Agent 无边界,但开发者们有边界

正如那句老话所说的一样:“科学没有国界,但科学家有不同的国籍。”同样,构建于 X 平台的项目账号、部署于链上的智能合约以及对应的 AI Agent 没有边界,但无数 AI Agent 背后的开发者们却可能有着不同的边界和爱恨纠葛的关系。

尽管加密领域的 AI Agent 目前相较于主流产品仍然进步空间巨大,但 AI Agent 以及开发者们还在以自己的方式去努力推动项目、产品以及赛道的不断发展。正如 swarms 开发者 Kye 所言,“战斗是一种两败俱伤的零和游戏,共同努力才能创造净收益”。

Tiger Research: Zuckerberg Begins Betting on Prediction Markets, While Asian Nations Still View Them as Gambling

This article examines the rise of prediction markets, contrasting their growing institutional acceptance in the West with their restrictive regulation in Asia. It details how prediction markets, which originated from informal political betting and academic experiments like the Iowa Electronic Market, aggregate crowd wisdom into probabilistic prices through binary contracts. Their growth accelerated around 2020, reaching over $14 billion in monthly volume. A key driver is the "skin in the game" principle, where users risk their own capital, leading to high accuracy in predicting events like Fed rate decisions and elections, as demonstrated by platforms like Polymarket. Meta's entry, with Mark Zuckerberg reportedly leading the development of the Arena app, signals the market's maturation. In the U.S., court rulings have distinguished prediction markets from gambling, facilitating entry by traditional financial institutions. However, most Asian jurisdictions still classify them as gambling, focusing on social control rather than financial innovation. The article argues this stance creates three problems for Asia: 1) regulatory arbitrage pushes users to riskier offshore platforms, 2) loss of sovereign information infrastructure as valuable social sentiment data accumulates abroad, and 3) abandonment of user protection. It concludes that Asia needs a policy shift from prohibition to constructive regulation, integrating these markets into the formal system to harness their data as a national asset, as initiatives like Limitless Research are beginning to do.

Ethereum's Next Decade in the Eyes of Vitalik

"Lean Ethereum" Long-Term Roadmap Unveiled by Vitalik Buterin On July 5, 2026, Vitalik Buterin published the "Lean Ethereum" roadmap, positioning it as Ethereum's third major evolution following the Merge. This multi-year, multi-phase upgrade aims to fundamentally transform Ethereum's core protocol through staged network upgrades extending to 2029. Key goals include achieving 1 gigagas per second L1 throughput (a massive increase from the current ~32 TPS), near-instant finality, and quantum-resistant cryptography. The plan involves transitioning Ethereum's security model from full transaction re-execution by all nodes to native verification via recursive STARK proofs. A major proposed change is replacing the EVM with a proof-friendly architecture like RISC-V or leanISA, though this remains a point of contention, especially with L2s like Arbitrum favoring alternatives like WASM. Other planned upgrades include a restructured state model with a large, cheap "warehouse" storage layer to drastically reduce fees for migrated applications, multi-dimensional gas pricing, and a new focus on making privacy a first-class, native protocol feature. While the roadmap significantly raises Ethereum's long-term technical ceiling, analysts note it does not directly address ETH's mid-term token economics or value capture. The plan's multi-year timeline means near-term price impact will likely depend on observable progress milestones, such as the successful deployment of the upcoming Glamsterdam gas limit increase, growth in L2 activity and blob usage, and trends in L1 fee revenue and ETH burn.

In Just 11 Days, Claude Rewrote Millions of Lines of Code, an Epic AI Engineering Feat Sparks Fury

In just 11 days, Bun's founder Jarred Sumner used Anthropic's Claude AI models to rewrite its million lines of code from Zig to Rust. This move sparked significant controversy, particularly from Zig's creator, Andrew Kelley, who publicly criticized Sumner's engineering practices and the decision to use AI for such a massive rewrite. Bun, a high-performance JavaScript/TypeScript runtime and rival to Node.js, was originally written in Zig. After Anthropic acquired Bun, the team encountered persistent stability and memory safety bugs in the Zig codebase. These issues, combined with Zig's strict policy against LLM-generated code, led to the decision to rewrite in Rust. The rewrite was executed using Claude AI tools at an estimated API cost of $165,000, dramatically reducing the expected time and financial cost. Andrew Kelley's response was scathing. He blamed the original bugs on poor engineering habits, calling Bun's Zig code a collection of "hacks on top of hacks." He expressed relief that Bun was no longer associated with Zig, fearing it would misrepresent the language and attract low-quality, AI-generated contributions. The tech community is divided; some view Kelley's critique as unprofessional, while others see it as a defense of engineering integrity. A major concern about the AI-driven rewrite is the resulting code quality. The translation from Zig left approximately 27,000 lines of unsafe Rust code, raising fears about long-term maintainability and technical debt. The debate centers on whether this project is a milestone in AI-assisted development or a future maintenance nightmare.

From Auto Finance to Bitcoin to AI Engines: An Analysis of Cango's 'What Not to Do' Strategy

From Auto Finance to Bitcoin and Now AI: Cango's "What Not to Do" Strategy Cango, a Chinese auto finance platform that went public on the NYSE in 2018, is undergoing its third major transformation. After selling its entire auto business in 2024, it pivoted to become a large-scale Bitcoin miner, acquiring 50 exahash of mining rigs from Bitmain. However, its true goal was never Bitcoin, but owning and controlling energy infrastructure. Now, Cango is pivoting again. While most listed Bitcoin miners are leasing power to giant hyperscalers for AI training clusters, Cango is taking the opposite path. It has launched an AI inference subsidiary called EcoHash, focusing not on training but on distributed inference. The company's strategy hinges on the insight that over 70% of mining industry power is controlled by small, independent sites (10-50 MW), which are too small for hyperscalers but ideal for low-latency AI inference. Cango aims to partner with these small operators, providing the AI technology, customers, and financing through its EcoLink software layer, which can distribute workloads across sites for reliability. Cango maintains a hybrid model, running roughly 31.7 EH/s of Bitcoin mining for cash flow while aggressively cleaning its balance sheet—slashing long-term debt by 94.5% to $30.6 million and raising $75 million for its AI venture. Its first AI deployment will be at a 50 MW site in Georgia. The strategy faces skepticism, given the high costs of converting mining sites and the potential for an AI bubble. However, Cango's leadership believes discipline around "what not to do"—avoiding direct competition with hyperscalers in training—positions it to capture the long-tail demand for distributed AI inference power.
