Qualcomm announced that it has reached an agreement to acquire Modular to strengthen its generative AI and agent-based AI software foundation for data centers and edge environments. The transaction is expected to be completed in the second half of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.Qualcomm stated that Modular provides an open AI-native software stack that enables AI to run efficiently across different hardware architectures. Its unified platform supports CPU, GPU, NPU, and custom ASIC architectures without the need to rewrite models for each type of accelerator. For developers and enterprises, this means they can build once and deploy in different environments while reducing overall ownership costs.Qualcomm noted that as AI scales, efficiency rather than capability is becoming the limiting factor. Performance per watt will impact inference costs, and costs determine whether AI can scale. This acquisition will further help Qualcomm provide a chip-agnostic computing layer between devices, edge, and data centers, improving performance per watt, increasing hardware flexibility, and expanding the open developer ecosystem.

According to CoinDesk, the Ethereum research forum has released a new proposal introducing the "validator redirect revenue" mechanism, allowing validators to redirect 0% to 10% of staking rewards to fund ecosystem infrastructure and public goods. If a majority of validators support a certain percentage, that percentage will be enforced for all validators. Based on current staking levels, a redirect of 5% to 10% could bring approximately 50,000 to 70,000 ETH to the ecosystem each year, equivalent to about 120 million dollars.The proposal aims to address the long-standing "free-rider" problem in Ethereum, but it has also raised concerns about the risks of validators jointly manipulating the flow of funds and the misalignment of interests between staking operators and ETH holders. The proposal is currently still in the discussion phase and has not yet entered the formal voting process.
