DeepSeek supplements the API peak and valley billing rules. During weekends with adjusted work hours and China's statutory holidays, the entire day is charged at off-peak rates. Although September 20 is a workday due to the National Day holiday adjustment, the API still applies the off-peak price.DeepSeek implemented peak and valley pricing starting August 17, with off-peak prices set at half of peak prices. Less than a week later, all Saturdays and Sundays were changed to off-peak prices. This further clarifies the billing criteria for adjusted workdays and statutory holidays.Taking deepseek-flash as an example, for every million tokens of cache misses, the off-peak rate is 1 yuan, and the peak rate is 2 yuan; the output rates are 4 yuan and 8 yuan respectively. Another adjusted workday for the National Day holiday on October 10 is a Saturday, which will also be calculated at the off-peak price.

According to monitoring by Glassnode, the 7-day moving average of Bitcoin's SOPR (Spent Output Profit Ratio) after real adjustment has risen above the breakeven line of 1.This indicator shows that most of the tokens sold on-chain are currently in profit, and the price has not immediately fallen as a result. The buying pressure can absorb the profit-taking selling pressure, which is a typical characteristic of a bull market. If this indicator remains above 1, it reflects strong demand; if it falls back below 1, it indicates that the buying strength is weakening.

The founder of Liebit Mining Pool, Jiang Zhuoer, stated in a post that after months of trading, profit in coin-based terms has reached 34%, while profit in U-based terms has reached 92%, nearly doubling. The key to profitability lies in position, trading, and currency. Market sentiment must be involved in trading to truly feel it. We are currently in a bull market cycle, and the personal default position is to hold a full position in ETH spot. Besides several recent short positions, more importantly, it is to hold a full position in spot for the long term; shorting is merely to protect the spot after it rises, reducing the downside pullback.

According to Politico, Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceX AI, and Google have been sued for calling to "slow down" AI development.The lawsuit claims that Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei publicly called for "industry-wide coordination" to "set the pace for the frontier" earlier this month, with the support of SpaceX AI head Elon Musk, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and Google DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis, which amounts to an illegal business agreement among competitors under U.S. antitrust law.Nick Lolly, one of the lawyers representing the four plaintiffs in the Northern District of California, stated that the case aims to ensure that private self-serving agreements among the world's most powerful profit-driven tech companies do not lead to AI "rapidly spiraling out of human control." When it comes to existential threats like nuclear war and the greatest risks in human history today, humanity deserves ironclad guarantees. The rule of law should be established transparently and legally by the U.S. government and be accountable to the public.

According to Ledger Insights, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority plans to launch a wholesale central bank digital currency (wCBDC) for interbank settlement by the end of this year, as part of Project EnsembleTX, for 24-hour settlement of tokenized deposit transactions.The project is set to enter the real transaction pilot phase by the end of 2025, but currently, interbank settlements still rely on the RTGS system that operates only during working hours.

The founder of Liebit Mining Pool, Jiang Zhuoer, stated that the bStock token BNCB corresponding to BNB Treasury Company BNC had once fallen below 5 dollars, which is a rare high-profit certainty opportunity. 5.76 dollars is the starting point after CZ forwarded the BNC renaming vote post, and the possibility of falling below that is low.At the same time, at 5.76 dollars, mNAV=61%, and further decline would be equivalent to buying BNB at half price. Therefore, it is believed that 5.5~5.76 dollars is a good buying point. In addition, using leverage to buy small-cap stocks carries significant risks, so buying bstock spot, which is BNCB, is recommended. It is believed that CZ and Binance will promote the "Coin Stock Flywheel," and more related events are expected in the future.

According to The Block, Grayscale's research director Zach Pandl stated that the approximately $58,000 low reached around June 30 remains his assessment of the bottom of the current bear market phase, and Grayscale is currently advising clients to allocate Bitcoin.Pandl mentioned in an interview with The Block during the Avalanche summit in New York that they have maintained the view that $58,000 is the bottom of this bear market phase for the past few months. This assessment echoes the comments made by Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, who stated on September 10 that Bitcoin has bottomed out in the current cycle and expects a sustained upward trend for the next two years.Pandl stated that Grayscale uses a three-part framework to assess whether clients should allocate Bitcoin, including long-term structural trends, market cycle phases, and macro context. He believes that all three conditions are currently met, thus giving clients the "green light" to allocate Bitcoin. As of Thursday morning, Bitcoin was above $76,000, up 0.8% in 24 hours, but still down about 39% from its historical high of approximately $126,000.Pandl also compared Bitcoin with Zcash, noting that Grayscale has offered investment products for Zcash for about nine years. He believes that Zcash occupies an "underutilized and unexplored design space," rather than directly competing with Bitcoin, and pointed out that as artificial intelligence becomes more powerful, privacy issues are receiving more attention, with Zcash providing investors a way to express their views on personal and financial privacy.

User Kevin Bass posted that he has audited the finances of the artificial intelligence company Anthropic and found shocking circumstances, thus calling for Congress to investigate. Bass stated: Anthropic not only seeks regulatory capture but has also built an unshuttable regulatory capture machine, with structural financial incentives making it impossible to shut down its AI doomsday loop. This loop begins with METR, which Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei proposed to be assessed for model risk by a third-party evaluation agency and suggested METR.Bass claimed that METR financially relies on Anthropic's success, particularly the explosive growth of Anthropic stock exceeding $7 billion. Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz invested this stock into Good Ventures Foundation, which constitutes the majority of the organization's portfolio, and GVF is the overwhelming funder of the entire Anthropic network ecosystem. This stock was worth $500 million earlier last year and is now valued at over $7.7 billion about 16 months later. METR cannot afford to interrupt this growth.Bass pointed out that the same organization funding METR also funds organizations promoting AI doomsday, such as the Tarbell Center, which has published articles in The Verge, Science, Los Angeles Times, and others. These organizations all rely on the same funding. Bass stated that METR and others are not independent of Anthropic and cannot provide independent assessments; Congress must investigate.
