Proof of Play to shut down after blockchain gaming thesis falls short

Blockchain gaming studio Proof of Play is shutting down after conceding it failed to build a sustainable business around its decentralized gaming model. The a16z-backed company stated it could not develop a product that proved blockchain games could help scale a decentralized internet. Much of its code, artwork for the Pirate Nation game, smart contracts, and tools will be made open-source. An independent foundation will continue supporting the game's PIRATE token, but Proof of Play points lose all value. The studio released related NFT artwork and IP under a permissive CC0 license, while its Shiba Story Go! game was sold and will operate separately. At their height, the studio's networks were among the largest gas consumers on Ethereum's rollup ecosystem.

After a Three-Year Hiatus, Peking University Alumna Lilian Weng's Latest Long-Form Article Goes Viral

After a three-year hiatus, OpenAI alum and renowned AI researcher Lilian Weng has published a comprehensive blog post analyzing the "Scaling Laws" that have guided multi-billion dollar investments in large language models. Her post, "Scaling Laws, Carefully," reveals these foundational laws to be more fragile than widely assumed. She dissects a key discrepancy between OpenAI's 2020 conclusion (favoring larger models) and DeepMind's 2022 Chinchilla finding (advocating balanced growth of model size and data), tracing it to differences in parameter counting and experimental scale. Furthermore, Weng highlights a critical methodological bug in the influential Chinchilla paper, discovered in 2024, where a loss function averaging error caused premature optimizer termination. The analysis also underscores a fundamental limitation: the laws assume infinite, unique training data, a premise collapsing as high-quality text data is exhausted by 2026-2028. This scarcity is driving the industry toward alternatives like reinforcement learning, test-time computation, and synthetic data. Weng concludes that the future of AI depends not just on more compute, but on rigorously understanding and refining these scaling principles.

Claude Opus 4.8 Released, Anthropic Begins to Market "Trustworthiness" as a Product Feature

Anthropic has released Claude Opus 4.8, emphasizing "trustworthiness" as a core selling point alongside performance gains. While it leads in five of six key benchmarks, the most significant improvement is a dramatic reduction in the model's failure to report its own errors in code tasks, cutting the rate from 19.7% to 3.7%. This increased reliability and self-awareness is positioned as crucial for deploying AI in real-world workflows. Key updates include enhanced mathematical and long-context reasoning, the introduction of dynamic multi-agent workflows in Claude Code for automated verification, and improved token efficiency. However, the model shows some regressions in areas like resisting prompt injection. Pricing remains unchanged. The release also signals the impending arrival of Anthropic's more powerful, restricted "Mythos"-tier model in the coming weeks. The article frames the industry shift as moving beyond pure benchmark competition towards a focus on reliability and verifiability, enabling users to delegate more critical tasks to AI agents with greater confidence.

Crypto Analytics Firm Dune Axes 25% Of Employees Amid Strategic Overhaul

Crypto data analytics firm Dune is cutting 25% of its employees as part of a strategic restructuring, its CEO Fredrik Haga announced. The layoffs, affecting around 37-38 people from a team of roughly 150, aim to sharpen the company's focus on its core data products and a major push to build tools for institutional investors. Haga cited the growing shift of traditional assets like currencies and stocks onto blockchains as a key opportunity. The company is also doubling down on artificial intelligence, promoting a tool that allows AI systems to interact directly with its platform to create dashboards without SQL knowledge. Haga emphasized the move is strategic, not financial, and that Dune remains well-capitalized. The cuts occur amid a wider wave of layoffs across crypto and tech in 2026, with companies like Coinbase, Block, Gemini, and Crypto.com also reducing headcounts, often citing AI-driven efficiency gains. Over 5,000 jobs have been cut at major crypto firms this year alone.
