Özet

Sei Labs, the developer behind the Sei blockchain, has partnered with Xiaomi to pre-install a crypto wallet and discovery app on all Xiaomi smartphones sold outside mainland China and the U.S. The app will allow users to sign in with Google or Xiaomi accounts and includes a secure MPC wallet, access to crypto applications, and support for P2P and merchant payments. The rollout will begin in Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Africa. A $5 million fund will support mobile blockchain projects. The companies also plan to enable stablecoin payments for Xiaomi products, including phones and EVs, starting in Hong Kong and the EU by mid-2026. This move follows similar efforts by Solana Mobile, which has launched two Web3 smartphones, and Samsung’s integration of crypto features via Coinbase.

Sei Labs, the core development group behind the Sei blockchain, has reached a distribution deal with Xiaomi to pre-install a new crypto wallet and discovery app on all Xiaomi smartphones sold outside mainland China and the United States.

According to Thursday’s announcement, the app will let users sign in with their existing Google or Xiaomi IDs and will feature a multiparty computation wallet for security, access to popular crypto applications, and support for both peer-to-peer and merchant payments.

The rollout will start in Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia and Africa. Sei Labs is also creating a $5 million program aimed at funding mobile projects that bring blockchain features to consumer devices.

The companies plan to add stablecoin payments across Xiaomi’s retail and online channels, allowing customers to purchase devices, including phones and electric vehicles, using assets like USDC (USDC), which is supported by Sei. Early launches are targeted for Hong Kong and the EU by mid-2026, with broader expansion to follow.

Solana’s push into smartphones

Sei Labs isn’t the first Web3 project to target smartphones as a gateway for mainstream crypto adoption.

The Solana Mobile, a subsidiary of Solana Labs, announced its first smartphone, the Saga, in June 2022 before beginning shipments the following year. In late 2023, sales surged when a BONK airdrop tied to each device briefly made the phone worth more in tokens than its retail price.

In August 2024, Solana began shipping its second-generation Seeker phone to users in over 50 countries after receiving more than 150,000 preorders. The device includes broad hardware upgrades, a built-in crypto wallet, a decentralized app store and an updated seed-vault system.

On Dec. 3, Solana Mobile announced its plans to launch a native token, SKR, tied to its Seeker phone and broader mobile ecosystem in early 2026. The 10 billion-token supply will include large allocations for airdrops, growth incentives, liquidity and a community treasury, with portions also set aside for Solana Mobile and Solana Labs.

Samsung has also been expanding crypto features on its phones through a recent partnership with Coinbase. In October, the companies began allowing roughly 75 million US Galaxy users to buy crypto directly in Samsung Wallet, with plans to extend the integration to other markets.

OpenAI Post-Training Engineer Weng Jiayi Proposes a New Paradigm Hypothesis for Agentic AI

OpenAI engineer Weng Jiayi's "Heuristic Learning" experiments propose a new paradigm for Agentic AI, suggesting that intelligent agents can improve not just by training neural networks, but also by autonomously writing and refining code based on environmental feedback. In the experiment, a coding agent (powered by Codex) was tasked with developing and maintaining a programmatic strategy for the Atari game Breakout. Starting from a basic prompt, the agent iteratively wrote code, ran the game, analyzed logs and video replays to identify failures, and then modified the code. Through this engineering loop of "code-run-debug-update," it evolved a pure Python heuristic strategy that achieved a perfect score of 864 in Breakout and performed competitively with deep reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms in MuJoCo control tasks like Ant and HalfCheetah. This approach, termed Heuristic Learning (HL), contrasts with Deep RL. In HL, experience is captured in readable, modifiable code, tests, logs, and configurations—a software system—rather than being encoded solely into opaque neural network weights. This offers potential advantages in explainability, auditability for safety-critical applications, easier integration of regression tests to combat catastrophic forgetting, and more efficient sample use in early learning stages, as demonstrated in broader tests on 57 Atari games. However, the blog acknowledges clear limitations. Programmatic strategies struggle with tasks requiring long-horizon planning or complex perception (e.g., Montezuma's Revenge), areas where neural networks excel. The future vision is a hybrid architecture: specialized neural networks for fast perception (System 1), HL systems for rules, safety, and local recovery (also System 1), and LLM agents providing high-level feedback and learning from the HL system's data (System 2). The core proposition is that in the era of capable coding agents, a significant portion of an AI's learned experience could be maintained as an auditable, evolving software system.

Your Claude Will Dream Tonight, Don't Disturb It

This article explores the recent phenomenon of AI companies increasingly using anthropomorphic language—like "thinking," "memory," "hallucination," and now "dreaming"—to describe machine learning processes. Focusing on Anthropic's newly announced "Dreaming" feature for its Claude Agent platform, the piece explains that this function is essentially an automated, offline batch processing of an agent's operational logs. It analyzes past task sessions to identify patterns, optimize future actions, and consolidate learnings into a persistent memory system, akin to a form of reinforcement learning and self-correction. The article draws parallels to similar features in other AI agent systems like Hermes Agent and OpenClaw, which also implement mechanisms for reviewing historical data, extracting reusable "skills," and strengthening long-term memory. It notes a key difference from human dreaming: these AI "dreams" still consume computational resources and user tokens. Further context is provided by discussing the technical challenges of managing AI "memory" or context, highlighting the computational expense of large context windows and innovations like Subquadratic's new model claiming drastically longer contexts. The core critique argues that this strategic use of human-centric vocabulary does more than market products; it subtly reshapes user perception. By framing algorithms with terms associated with consciousness, companies blur the line between tool and autonomous entity. This linguistic shift can influence user expectations, tolerance for errors, and even perceptions of responsibility when systems fail, potentially diverting scrutiny from the companies and engineers behind the technology. The article concludes by speculating that terms like "daydreaming" for predictive task simulation might be next, continuing this trend of embedding the idea of an "inner life" into computational processes.

Duan Yongping's Bottom-Fishing in CoreWeave Is Turning into a Battleground for Bulls and Bears

CoreWeave's Q1 2026 earnings report has intensified the ongoing bull-bear battle over the AI infrastructure stock. While revenue doubled year-over-year to $2.08B and the firm's remaining performance obligation (RPO) surged to nearly $100B, its net loss more than doubled to $740M. The critical point of contention is profitability: while adjusted EBITDA margin was a robust 56%, the adjusted operating margin collapsed to just 1% due to soaring infrastructure and sales costs. A weaker-than-expected Q2 revenue guidance further triggered an 11.4% single-day stock drop. The bull thesis hinges on CoreWeave's massive order backlog, deep strategic ties with NVIDIA (as a customer, investor, and key supplier), and a diversified client base now including Anthropic and Meta. The bear case focuses on the "scale at all costs" model, where expanding revenue leads to wider losses, ballooning debt ($25B), and massive capital expenditures ($6.8B in Q1). Insider selling by executives contrasts with a notable new investor: Chinese investor Duan Yongping initiated a small position (0.12% of his portfolio) in Q4 2025 near the stock's lows. The coming Q2 report is seen as a key test for management's promise of a profit margin recovery.

CLARITY Act: Banking Trade Groups Push For Yield Agreement Revision – Details

US banking trade groups are urging revisions to the stablecoin yield compromise in the upcoming CLARITY Act ahead of a key committee markup. The Act currently aims to ban all passive, deposit-like interest on stablecoins to prevent competition with traditional bank savings, while allowing rewards tied to active uses like staking or transactions. In a letter, groups including the American Banking Association and Bank Policy Institute proposed stricter language to eliminate perceived loopholes for passive yield and prevent deposit flight from banks. However, these efforts are reportedly viewed as minor by some lawmakers. The Senate Banking Committee is scheduled to mark up the bill on May 14, a critical step before it can advance through Congress.
