Алекс Машинский признает себя виновным в мошенничестве, связанном с банкротством Celsius

Алекс Машински, основатель и бывший генеральный директор Celsius Network, планирует признать себя виновным по двум пунктам обвинения в мошенничестве, сообщил его адвокат во время слушаний во вторник, согласно сообщению Reuters.

Это произошло более чем через год после того, как в июле 2023 года Машинскому были предъявлены семь обвинений, в том числе в мошенничестве, сговоре и манипулировании рынком. Изначально он не признал себя виновным по всем пунктам обвинения.

Решение Машинского изменить свою позицию последовало за постановлением окружного судьи США Джона Кёльтла от ноября, в котором было отказано в удовлетворении ходатайства о снятии двух уголовных обвинений до начала судебного разбирательства, запланированного на январь 2025 года.

Компания Celsius Network, основанная в 2017 году, подала заявление о защите от банкротства по главе 11 в июле 2022 года на фоне общего спада на рынке криптовалют, который привёл к массовому выводу средств клиентами.

Компания вышла из банкротства 31 января и с тех пор сосредоточилась на майнинге биткоинов.

Федеральная прокуратура обвинила Машинского и бывшего директора по доходам Рони Коэн-Павон в манипулировании рынком токенов Cel.

Коэн-Павон признал себя виновным в сентябре 2023 года и согласился сотрудничать с прокуратурой.

По данным прокуратуры, Машинский лично заработал около 42 миллионов долларов на продаже своих токенов Cel.

В настоящее время компания выплачивает 127 миллионов долларов кредиторам, имеющим на это право, в рамках второй выплаты по банкротству, в результате чего общий процент погашения составляет 60,4% от суммы претензий.

Это следует за первоначальным распределением в январе 2024 года, в ходе которого примерно 57,7% соответствующих требованиям заявок были удовлетворены ликвидными криптоактивами или наличными.

Li Feifei's Latest Article: When Video Generation, Robotics, and NVIDIA All Claim to Have 'World Models,' We Need a Taxonomy

"World Model" has become a widely used yet ambiguous term in AI. Drawing from the classic POMDP framework (agent → action → state → observation), this article proposes a functional taxonomy to clarify the concept. It identifies three distinct types, categorized by their output in the perception-action loop: 1. **Renderers**: Output visual observations (pixels). These models, like advanced video generators, prioritize visual fidelity but often lack underlying physical accuracy. 2. **Simulators**: Output the state of the world (geometry, physics, dynamics). They provide a structurally accurate representation for professionals (e.g., architects) and serve as training environments for robots and AI agents. 3. **Planners**: Output actions. Given an observation and a goal, they determine what an agent should do next, closing the perception-action loop (e.g., vision-language-action models). While renderers are currently the most commercially mature and planners are the most aspirational, the article argues that **simulators are the crucial, underappreciated hub**. By working at the level of geometry and physics, a simulator can project upwards to create visuals for humans and downwards to predict action consequences for agents. The future lies in the convergence of these three functions. Emerging research and products, like World Labs' Marble model which outputs both visual splats and physical collision meshes, are beginning to blur these boundaries. The logical endpoint is a unified world foundation model capable of rendering, simulating, and planning based on a shared understanding of spatial and temporal structures—ultimately enabling machines to understand, imagine, and interact with the physical world.

Doubao and Qwen Will Discontinue Agent Functionality on July 15

On July 4th, Doubao and Tongyi Qianwen announced the impending shutdown of their user-created "AI Agent" features. Doubao confirmed its agent feature will be taken offline on July 15, directing users to ByteDance's CatBox app for similar needs. On the same day, Tongyi Qianwen notified users, specifying that personalized interactive agents and user-built agent functions will cease on July 10, with all agent features and services completely deactivated by July 15. After this date, access to agent configurations and historical chat records will be lost. This adjustment impacts core user scenarios like role-playing, personal assistants, and vertical tool agents. The shutdown date coincides with the official implementation of China's "Interim Measures for the Administration of Artificial Intelligence Human-like Interactive Services" on July 15. The new regulations impose strict rules on "human-like emotional interaction services," requiring platforms to implement measures like anti-addiction systems, minor verification, and content moderation. This move is widely seen as a proactive step by the platforms to align with regulatory timelines and mitigate compliance risks. Additionally, commercial challenges are a key driver. Analysis suggests that casual, human-like chat agents generate high-frequency, low-value interactions, leading to high computational costs with poor monetization. As the AI application market shifts from user growth to proving value, sustaining such "high-cost, low-efficiency" user-generated content becomes difficult. Both platforms have outlined transition plans. Doubao will allow data viewing and self-backup for a period after shutdown, with data scheduled for permanent deletion by October 15. Tongyi Qianwen similarly advised users to save important content via copying or screenshots before the deadline. This strategic retreat from C-end agent features signals a broader market shift. Compliance capability and sustainable business models are replacing user scale and feature richness as the new core competitive dimensions. Tongyi Qianwen's recent move to fully open its Agent and Skill platforms to third-party enterprises and developers further underscores a strategic pivot from low-value C-end services to high-value B-end enterprise scenarios.

Why Did Codex and ChatGPT Merge? What's Next for Codex? OpenAI Core Leader Answers Everything

In 2026, OpenAI's Codex saw explosive growth, with weekly active users surging over 5x to 5 million since January, driven largely by the February launch of its desktop app. Codex desktop lead Andrew Ambrosino explains key shifts behind its evolution. A core change is the inversion of development costs: implementation is now cheap, while curation and taste—judging which of many AI-generated prototypes is valuable—have become the new scarcities. Ambrosino defines taste as a blend of aesthetics, systems thinking, direction, and semantic coherence in interaction. He notes AI still struggles with design because evaluating it requires human cultural context and abstract reasoning about how components relate—capabilities beyond current models. Timing is critical: the same Codex app would have failed months earlier; success hinges on the model's capabilities at launch. Roles are blurring within his team, with engineers, designers, and PMs overlapping significantly. However, Ambrosino cautions against eliminating specialized roles entirely, as each field retains deep expertise. On AI-assisted development, the focus has shifted from measuring code written by AI to distinguishing between supervised and unsupervised generation. A current challenge is teaching models to simplify code, not just add complexity. The merger of Codex and ChatGPT stems from observed user behavior: non-developers adopted Codex for general knowledge work despite its developer-centric interface. This revealed a collapsing boundary between specialized tools and universal assistants. The vision is a "home base" that orchestrates tasks across external professional tools (like Excel or Premiere Pro) via connectors, rather than rebuilding everything internally. An internal example showed Codex helping edit video by interacting with Premiere Pro's files and even writing a plugin for it. The future direction is a unified, extensible platform that serves as a central hub for automating and managing work across any specialized tool the user employs.
