According to monitoring by 1M AI News, Meta is preparing to release a new generation of AI models developed under the leadership of Alexandr Wang, with plans to offer open-source versions of some of the models. Wang joined Meta last year through a $15 billion deal from AI data infrastructure company Scale AI, where he previously served as CEO. There had been speculation that Meta might completely abandon the open-source route, but according to Axios, citing informed sources, Wang believes that Meta can play a unique role in popularizing the latest AI technologies while ensuring developers have access to an American-made open-source option. However, Meta's largest new models will remain closed-source, marking a shift from the company's previous full open-source approach to a hybrid strategy that includes both open and closed-source elements. Wang's strategy focuses on differentiated competition: while Anthropic and OpenAI increasingly target government and enterprise clients, Meta aims for the consumer market, with the goal of distributing its models as widely as possible to global users. Meta's advantage lies in its global reach through its three free platforms: WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram, which provide a distribution channel that is difficult for competitors to match. Meta acknowledges that its new models may not fully compete with the next-generation models soon to be released by OpenAI and Anthropic across all dimensions, but it believes it will have its own competitive edge in consumer scenarios. Previously, the Llama 4 series significantly lagged behind competitors, and the primary goal of the new model series is to close that gap. The trend of reducing open-source initiatives is not limited to Meta alone; Alibaba has also recently transitioned its strongest new Qianwen model to closed-source, reversing its earlier strategy of full openness. The industry is forming a consensus: even the most open-minded companies are retaining control over their most powerful systems.

According to monitoring by 1M AI News, an AI usage ranking named 'Claudeonomics', after Anthropic's flagship product Claude, has surfaced within Meta's internal network. This ranking was created by employees using company data, compiling token consumption from over 85,000 individuals and listing the top 250 users. A copy of the ranking seen by The Information shows that the total consumption in the past 30 days has surpassed 60 trillion tokens, which roughly translates to about $900 million based on the public average price of Claude Opus 4.6 (approximately $15 per million tokens), though the actual model combinations and pricing protocols at Meta remain unclear. The top individual user has an average consumption of 281 billion tokens, potentially costing millions of dollars. The ranking features gamified incentives, with tiers ranging from bronze to emerald, and the highest titles including 'Token Legend' and 'Session Immortal', along with 'Model Connoisseur' and 'Cache Wizard'. Some employees have been running AI agents for hours on end purely to inflate their usage for ranking purposes. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and CTO Andrew Bosworth did not make it into the top 250. Recently, there has been a trend in Silicon Valley known as 'tokenmaxxing', where token consumption is becoming a new metric for measuring engineer productivity. Bosworth mentioned at a tech conference in February that the token expenditure of a top engineer is equivalent to their salary, with productivity improvements reaching up to 10 times, stating, 'This is a no-lose deal; keep burning, there’s no limit.' NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang remarked last month that if an engineer with a $500,000 annual salary consumes less than $250,000 in tokens each year, he would be 'deeply concerned'. Meta engineers are currently using external models from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google, as well as internal tools like MyClaw (Meta's version of OpenClaw) and the recently acquired Manus. In an internal memo this year, Zuckerberg made a 'bold request' to the engineering team to rewrite Meta's codebase to enable AI agents to directly understand and modify the code.

According to monitoring by 1M AI News, Joanne Jang, General Manager of OpenAI Labs, announced her departure on X, concluding her 4.5-year tenure at OpenAI. She joined when the company was still a research lab with fewer than 200 employees. Jang was involved in the launch of GPT-4, DALL·E 2, text-to-speech, Chat API, and memory features, and established 'Model Behavior' as an independent discipline, overseeing the personality design and post-training reinforcement learning for GPT-4o, GPT-4.5, and o3. She also led the development of OpenAI's AI behavior guidelines, Model Spec. In September 2025, she transitioned from the model behavior team to establish OpenAI Labs, exploring new interaction paradigms for human-AI collaboration. Jang was named a 'Thinker' in TIME's 100 Most Influential People in AI in 2025. In her farewell letter, she expressed that if she could be remembered for one thing, 'I hope it is that I brought frogs and pink text into OpenAI'.

On April 7, Aave founder Stani Kulechov tweeted that Aave respects Chaos Labs' decision to exit its risk management role and thanked them for their contributions over the past years. The Aave protocol's smart contracts, asset listings, and network deployments will remain unaffected, and both parties will maintain close cooperation during the exit process. Aave currently employs a dual-layer economic risk management model, jointly managed by Chaos Labs and LlamaRisk. Given the scale of the Aave protocol, it will continue to uphold this dual model in the future, and additionally introduce a technical risk layer managed by Aave Labs. Aave Labs will work closely with LlamaRisk to ensure uninterrupted risk coverage during the transition and support LlamaRisk in increasing its budget and team size.

On April 7, the Polygon Foundation announced that the Giugliano hard fork will be released at block height 85,268,500 on the Polygon mainnet, expected to occur at 2 PM UTC on April 8. This upgrade includes: achieving faster finality by allowing block producers to broadcast blocks earlier; incorporating fee parameters directly into the block header; and adding RPC support for fee data. All node operators must upgrade Bor to v2.7.0 (or upgrade Erigon to v3.5.0).
