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.

Galaxy Research Director Alex Thorn stated that after the Democratic Party won both houses of the U.S. Congress, significant progress in key digital asset legislation is still expected to be difficult, and the leadership of congressional committees will also change. He mentioned that Elizabeth Warren may become the chair of the Senate Banking Committee, while Maxine Waters is expected to regain control of the House Financial Services Committee.Several Republican lawmakers who support the crypto industry were defeated, but the pro-crypto camp did not suffer a complete loss. According to Stand With Crypto, 19 pro-crypto senators and 226 pro-crypto representatives have been elected. Tracking by Molly White shows that in 12 highly competitive elections, the side supported by crypto and AI political action committees lost 9, but won all in the safer 40 elections.Reports indicate that House Democrats are discussing expanding Waters' previously proposed "Crypto Investor Consumer Rights Act" into a broader crypto market structure bill. Thorn reiterated that no substantial progress is expected in Congress on key digital asset legislation. In the absence of legislation, the SEC, CFTC, and banking regulators have clarified crypto rules within their existing statutory authority, and the Trump administration still has two years to continue advancing related work.

Changxin Storage (CXMT), a Chinese memory chip company, announced that it has made key progress on a new storage architecture. Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are also advancing similar architectures to increase storage density. The company's president, Cao Kanyu, stated at an industry event in Shanghai that Changxin Storage plans to launch new server memory products based on this architecture by the end of 2026, according to a company statement.The architecture is designed as 4F², meaning each memory cell occupies an area of 4F², where F is the minimum line width of the semiconductor. The company claims that this proprietary transistor design can improve storage density and efficiency by accommodating more memory cells on a single chip. Currently, mainstream commercial DRAM uses a 6F² cell structure.

Bitwise Asset Management Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated that after the Senate did not advance the CLARITY Act, stablecoin platforms retain the space to offer balance rewards to customers, and exchanges like Coinbase continue to hold the advantages of existing state-level licenses and the integration of trading and brokerage services.The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued a five-year exemption for tokenized stock trading, allowing eligible platforms to test using licensed automated market makers and liquidity pools. Hougan listed Securitize, which will serve tokenized funds for BlackRock, Apollo, and KKR, as a beneficiary. SEC staff updated the token buyback guidelines, stating that for networks that are functional and do not have a centralized party, buyback announcements do not constitute a commitment relied upon by buyers for expected profits; this guideline does not have legal effect.

Former New York Governor and OKX Director Andrew Cuomo stated that if the Democratic Party wins Congress in the midterm elections, the current regulatory progress in the cryptocurrency industry may be overturned.

Andrew Cuomo expects the new Congress to closely scrutinize such agency rules and hopes that the lame-duck Congress will pass relevant legislation before January 1 of next year.
