Worldcoin为“加密货币玩家”提供15美元的饮料折扣——首先需要你的眼球

币界网报道:

在未能实现到2023年使用反乌托邦眼球扫描球搭载10亿人的目标后,Sam Altman的Worldcoin转向了一种鲜为人知的能量饮料来扩大用户群。

这个备受争议的项目最近进行了“苹果风格”的改造,以改善其形象,现在与“世界上第一种由神经科学家配制和批准的起泡饮料”Flojo合作

该合作伙伴关系为每位在World ID上注册的用户提供15美元的桃子或芒果味混合物折扣。“成为一个独特的人是值得的,”Worldcoin说。

Flojo似乎正试图进军加密货币市场,因为它也与Solana合作。该饮料的联合创始人Christine Wong解释了这一举措,称加密货币玩家“还没有代表性的饮料”

尽管该视频声称价格为10美元,但Flojo网站将其列为15美元的折扣。

Flojo联合创始人、新加坡的Paul Tan也是加密种子投资基金DAOvergence的创始人,在多家加密公司工作。Messari和Cryptorank都将Tan列为失败的NFT市场DoingGud筹集的500万美元种子轮的出资人。

Worldcoin的饮料合作伙伴在营销上大做文章

饮料很多。它声称是亚洲第一种通过神经科学家精心挑选的“适应原”和“益智药”来提高精神清晰度的“生产力”饮料。

对于外行来说,适应原显然是帮助调节身体的天然物质,但并没有一个统一的定义。益智药被认为是改善认知功能的物质,被称为“智能药物”

八包Flojo售价30美元,目前只送货到新加坡。

药理学前沿发表的一篇研究论文将适应原描述为“几乎没有科学价值”。它说,它“在欧盟的临床和药理学术语中不被接受,并且被认为不适合上市授权。”

各种出版商也对益智药的有效性进行了辩论。GQ的一篇文章得出结论,你最好去散步。

这不是关于Worldcoin吗?

Worldcoin声称自创建以来已经吸引了640万眼球,距离2023年的目标“仅”9.936亿次世界身份验证。

该公司已将其主页和眼球扫描仪柜台从2000年更新为3480,这表明其业务有所扩张,但表示仍面临国际国家的全球抵制。

除了Worldoin的困境之外,还有一种新的加密货币身份系统:人类协议。这家新公司或多或少都在努力实现Worldcoin的目标,同时使用手掌扫描技术。然而,其首席执行官Terence Kwok在维持公司运营方面并没有最好的记录。

Google and Amazon Simultaneously Invest Heavily in a Competitor: The Most Absurd Business Logic of the AI Era Is Becoming Reality

In a span of four days, Amazon announced an additional $25 billion investment, and Google pledged up to $40 billion—both direct competitors pouring over $65 billion into the same AI startup, Anthropic. Rather than a typical venture capital move, this signals the latest escalation in the cloud wars. The core of the deal is not equity but compute pre-orders: Anthropic must spend the majority of these funds on AWS and Google Cloud services and chips, effectively locking in massive future compute consumption. This reflects a shift in cloud market dynamics—enterprises now choose cloud providers based on which hosts the best AI models, not just price or stability. With OpenAI deeply tied to Microsoft, Anthropic’s Claude has become the only viable strategic asset for Google and Amazon to remain competitive. Anthropic’s annualized revenue has surged to $30 billion, and it is expanding into verticals like biotech, positioning itself as a cross-industry AI infrastructure layer. However, this funding comes with constraints: Anthropic’s independence is challenged as it balances two rival investors, its safety-first narrative faces pressure from regulatory scrutiny, and its path to IPO introduces new financial pressures. Globally, this accelerates a "tri-polar" closed-loop structure in AI infrastructure, with Microsoft-OpenAI, Google-Anthropic, and Amazon-Anthropic forming exclusive model-cloud alliances. In contrast, China’s landscape differs—investments like Alibaba and Tencent backing open-source model firm DeepSeek reflect a more decoupled approach, though closed-source models from major cloud providers still dominate. The $65 billion bet is ultimately about securing a seat at the table in an AI-defined future—where missing the model layer means losing the cloud war.

Computing Power Constrained, Why Did DeepSeek-V4 Open Source?

DeepSeek-V4 has been released as a preview open-source model, featuring 1 million tokens of context length as a baseline capability—previously a premium feature locked behind enterprise paywalls by major overseas AI firms. The official announcement, however, openly acknowledges computational constraints, particularly limited service throughput for the high-end DeepSeek-V4-Pro version due to restricted high-end computing power. Rather than competing on pure scale, DeepSeek adopts a pragmatic approach that balances algorithmic innovation with hardware realities in China’s AI ecosystem. The V4-Pro model uses a highly sparse architecture with 1.6T total parameters but only activates 49B during inference. It performs strongly in agentic coding, knowledge-intensive tasks, and STEM reasoning, competing closely with top-tier closed models like Gemini Pro 3.1 and Claude Opus 4.6 in certain scenarios. A key strategic product is the Flash edition, with 284B total parameters but only 13B activated—making it cost-effective and accessible for mid- and low-tier hardware, including domestic AI chips from Huawei (Ascend), Cambricon, and Hygon. This design supports broader adoption across developers and SMEs while stimulating China's domestic semiconductor ecosystem. Despite facing talent outflow and intense competition in user traffic—with rivals like Doubao and Qianwen leading in monthly active users—DeepSeek has maintained technical momentum. The release also comes amid reports of a new funding round targeting a valuation exceeding $10 billion, potentially setting a new record in China’s LLM sector. Ultimately, DeepSeek-V4 represents a shift toward open yet realistic infrastructure development in the constrained compute landscape of Chinese AI, emphasizing engineering efficiency and domestic hardware compatibility over pure model scale.
