Binance founder Zhao Changpeng stated in an interview, "After the attack incident, Binance quickly stepped up to clarify that user funds were not affected and user assets are safe. Although this is just a very simple statement, it effectively prevented panic from spreading further and avoided a chain reaction.Everyone understands that this incident will not have further spillover effects. Unlike previous cases where some platforms or lending protocols went bankrupt, ultimately causing users to bear losses, this time users will not be forced to bear related losses. This is fundamentally different from some past events, which often triggered second and third rounds of chain reactions. I believe that, first, this statement calmed everyone down. Secondly, Binance's ability to make such a commitment based on its own credibility also made users willing to believe this statement. After all, many fund flows and transaction records on the blockchain are public and transparent.However, this situation is different; users understand that Binance has sufficient financial strength to bear related losses. Binance has the SAFU (Secure Asset Fund for Users), a futures insurance fund, as well as very strong capital strength and a solid balance sheet. It is this ability to respond quickly, take responsibility proactively, and ensure that all users are protected and all losses are compensated that has gradually restored calm to the market.One interesting point: on the day of the incident, the decline in the cryptocurrency market was actually smaller than that of the tech stock market, a situation that is almost unprecedented. Typically, when the stock market declines, the crypto market often experiences a larger drop, as investors looking to hold cash tend to sell off crypto assets. But this time, even with such a severe hacking attack on the crypto industry, the market decline was smaller. I believe this indicates that investors overall remained quite calm, and it reflects the solid trust in the platform that has been gradually built over the years. I feel very proud of this."

According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin mining company turned data center developer Cipher Digital reported a net profit of 31.6 million USD for the third quarter, despite a 63% year-over-year decline in revenue. Revenue fell from 71.7 million USD in the same period last year to 26.7 million USD, with Bitcoin mining contributing 20.8 million USD, a 71% decrease, as Cipher shifted its computing power from mining to leasing data centers to AI companies.This quarter, Cipher generated revenue from this business for the first time, with its Texas Black Pearl data center bringing in 5.9 million USD after commencing operations in August. Cipher reported an operating loss of 71.9 million USD, up from 37.6 million USD in the same period last year; adjusted EBITDA dropped from a positive 40.8 million USD to a negative 10 million USD. The net profit mainly came from a 127.2 million USD non-cash accounting gain related to warrants from Google, which does not represent cash actually received by Cipher. Recently, Cipher extended the lease term for the Barber Lake data center to 20 years, bringing the site's contract revenue to approximately 9.1 billion USD.

After Cursor and Anthropic, OpenAI announced its self-developed Git backend Pando, which has now taken over the company's entire main code repository. Over the past year, Codex has enabled engineers to deploy a large number of Agents to write code simultaneously, resulting in an increase in code branches, pushes, merges, and pull requests. OpenAI's original system experienced frequent stalls and merge failures, with reliability even dropping below 90%.One engineer is responsible for the core architecture design, and multiple Codex Agent teams participated in the implementation, with Pando going into production in 10 weeks. This backend allows code pushes from different branches to be processed in parallel without queuing each other. When pulling code, data packets are no longer generated separately for each client but instead reuse existing Git data packets, distributing them directly through caching. After the transformation, the median latency of code pushes was reduced by nearly 80%, distributing nearly 1 PB of data daily, with a cache hit rate exceeding 99%, but different branches no longer guarantee to present the same state at the same moment.Cursor's Origin is still based on Git, primarily aimed at replacing GitHub as a code hosting service. Anthropic's Scion, on the other hand, has abandoned Git, placing commits, merges, and historical queries on the server side. OpenAI retains the Git client and protocol, only reconstructing the backend, so engineers and Agents do not need to change their original development processes significantly.
