The team claims they are currently only "temporarily ahead by half a position."WorkBuddy is derived from Tencent's previously launched AI programming assistant CodeBuddy, which has already covered about 12,000 engineers within Tencent. The product completed prototype development on January 17, and after the public beta in March, it has undergone a total of 43 iterations, gradually integrating capabilities related to QClaw developed by the Tencent PC Manager team based on an open-source framework. The product adopts a multi-model access strategy, with the underlying self-developed Harness engine for unified scheduling.In terms of commercialization, at the end of April, Tencent Cloud adjusted its pricing: the SaaS enterprise version was raised from 78 yuan/person/month to 198 yuan, and the private cloud enterprise version was raised from 158 yuan to 316 yuan. Market information indicates that it has acquired thousands of enterprise clients and over one hundred thousand paid seats, with an estimated annual revenue of about 300 million yuan.

The Hyperliquid testnet recently introduced a new feature called "stars." This feature introduces an optional trading address whitelist mechanism for the HIP-3 DEX, allowing deployers to restrict trading to only whitelisted addresses for opening or increasing positions. Currently, the whitelist size limit on the testnet is 10,000 addresses, while unauthorized addresses can still deposit into accounts and submit orders limited to reducing positions, in order to close or lower existing positions.Community members analyze that this feature is expected to expand the application scenarios of the HIP-3 DEX. For example, tokenized stocks, real-world assets (RWA), institutional indices, and other regulated products can open trading only to users who have completed identity verification (KYC) or meet access requirements through the address whitelist. At the same time, new markets can first open testing to market makers, partners, or community members, reducing the risk of encountering junk trading, wash trading, or malicious manipulation in the early stages of the market, while allowing non-whitelisted users to continue reducing positions, thus avoiding situations where users cannot exit their holdings due to permission restrictions.In addition, the stars feature does not change the permissionless nature of the Hyperliquid base layer but adds an optional access control feature that developers can enable or disable based on their needs. This means that scenarios such as DAOs, trading clubs, private equity funds, or partner-exclusive markets can build closed trading markets with access mechanisms while maintaining the advantages of the Hyperliquid matching engine and settlement layer. Currently, this feature is still in the testnet phase, and the official has not yet announced its specific uses; further application scenarios await confirmation with the mainnet launch and more developer documentation.

In a 90-minute interview with The Economist, Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla and SpaceX, stated that artificial intelligence could surpass human intelligence levels within the next five years and predicted that in about ten years, AI and robotics might drive the world into a "highly affluent era." Musk believes that once AI systems and robots possess sufficiently powerful digital intelligence and production capabilities, the global economy could approach a state of "infinite supply," making human labor no longer a necessary condition for survival, and the importance of currency may gradually decline.He stated that in the future, if the number of robots is sufficient, society will have a "quasi-infinite economy," where artificial intelligence can produce goods and services that exceed human consumption capacity. He even predicted that by around 2036, the importance of the traditional currency system might significantly decrease. Regarding future economic operating models, Musk mentioned that governments might maintain social operations by directly distributing funds to the public and believes that the productivity improvements brought by AI could lead to deflation rather than inflation.However, regarding issues such as corporate profit models, government fiscal sources, and social transformation, Musk acknowledged that the economic structure in the age of artificial intelligence might differ greatly from traditional economic laws. Additionally, Musk discussed the integration of AI with space development. He indicated that in the future, data centers deployed in space might be used to support AI computing and reiterated the long-term plan for human exploration of Mars. In the interview, Musk also reflected on his previous involvement in the Trump administration's "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE). He admitted that he had invested too much energy in the political arena, "got a bit sidetracked," and stated that if he could choose again, he might spend more time on his own companies.
