Linda Xie, co-founder of Scalar Capital and former product lead at Coinbase, published a review of her personal angel investment situation over the past 10 years, stating that she has invested in a total of 50 companies, with 60% in the cryptocurrency sector, 10% in the AI sector, and the remainder distributed across other industries.Currently, there have been 6 investments that have returned more than the initial investment, all from the cryptocurrency sector, with 5 coming from token warrants and 1 from equity, but none of these covered the entire investment portfolio individually. The highest paper return on investment, which far exceeds other projects, comes from an AI company; if it can be monetized, its return could theoretically cover the entire portfolio's investment.Additionally, 12 companies have officially shut down or exited through talent acquisition, with 7 investments returning zero, 4 returning 80% to 90% of the initial investment, and 1 result pending. The above statistics only cover her personal equity investments and do not include the funds under her management or directly held cryptocurrency assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.

According to Bloomberg, protests against the expansion of data centers continued in multiple locations across Europe on November 7. RTE reported that around 2,000 people participated in a march in Dublin; YLE stated that about 1,300 people gathered in Helsinki, with protests also occurring in several small towns in Finland. Demonstrators in Helsinki marched to Google's office and the location of the parliament. The Stop Dirty Data Centres alliance, composed of local democracy and climate action groups, stated that the action aims to prevent the unchecked expansion of AI data centers.Groups from Scotland, Spain, France, and Denmark participated in the action, calling for a halt to construction until the public can determine through democratic processes how related projects should serve society and the environment. Previously on Friday, hundreds of protesters clashed with police at a Microsoft data center in Amsterdam, resulting in one arrest. As technology companies invest hundreds of billions of dollars in building AI infrastructure, community residents' concerns about land and electricity demands, rising energy costs, and whether the local area can gain economic benefits have intensified. Ireland has become one of Europe's major data center hubs, with official statistics showing that data centers will account for 23% of the country's total electricity consumption by 2025.Finland is also facing large-scale construction. Google announced in September an investment of 13 billion euros, approximately 14.5 billion dollars, to expand existing data centers and build two new facilities, marking its largest investment in Europe to date. According to the Finnish Industrial Federation, data center projects in various stages of planning and construction in Finland are valued at around 80 billion euros. Reports indicate that representatives from Google cleared forest land, stripped topsoil, and built roads before the environmental impact assessment for one project was completed, causing dissatisfaction among local residents. The company responsible for the construction of the project is facing a criminal investigation, and the Finnish government is also advancing legislation to constrain AI expansion. The opposition in Europe echoes recent situations in the United States, where the expansion of data centers has become a significant issue in this week's midterm elections, with some state voters electing local officials who promised to stop or pause related construction.

Serenity stated that new cloud service providers like NBIS (Neocloud) are attractive after a significant drop in valuation. He believes that if manufacturers maintain close relationships with suppliers like NVIDIA, have signed capacity and necessary licenses, possess well-funded partners, and can finance equipment procurement at reasonable costs, they may still perform well.He cited IREN's financial report, noting that a prepayment in a five-year agreement could cover 90% of GPU capital expenditures, indicating that publicly listed Neocloud can adapt to a tight financing environment. The re-signing price for their old H100 GPU has reached twice the previous amount, which he believes contradicts some market concerns about equipment depreciation. Regarding approvals, Serenity referenced a Rosenblatt research report stating that the major construction projects of NBIS in Missouri, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina have low risk. He is more concerned about new entrants that are just beginning to finance or obtain permits and believes that tightening financing and potential approval restrictions may actually expand the competitive advantages of existing Neoclouds, establishing a stronger moat for them.

According to The Verge, the AI safety research organization METR stated that after an 11-week investigation into Anthropic, the company's model improvement rate is about twice that of a year ago, with progress made in the past year equivalent to approximately two years prior. METR believes that as of October, most of the acceleration in research and development is due to AI, and its contribution is increasing.Currently, the acceleration mainly comes from AI-assisted human researchers rather than autonomous work. Employees using Anthropic's strongest internal model reported in an informal survey that their work efficiency is on average about 12 times that of when not assisted by AI. Anthropic has heavily redacted the public report, with co-founder Sam McCandlish stating that the related information involves commercially sensitive content and could also help other companies accelerate their research and development.

According to Mira's official tweet, Mira launched the AI inference validation routing product Sterling on November 5, aimed at addressing the issue where the models users pay for in the current API market do not match the actual execution models (such as providers secretly downgrading models or sabotaging tool calls).Sterling conducts round-the-clock testing and public scoring of various API providers, evaluating dimensions including model identity, tool calls, parameter compliance, silent failures, and statement context. Users only need to change the Base URL to route requests to validated providers. A disclosed study conducted by Mira over a period of 4 months, covering 189 endpoints, found that 29 endpoints had 37 undisclosed changes.Sterling is currently in the Beta phase. The product supports pay-as-you-go, with settlement supporting USDC (via the x402 protocol) or $MIRA tokens. At launch, the inference prices for Claude, GPT, and Gemini can be up to 50% lower than the official listed prices.
