According to TradingBeats monitoring, the largest whale on Hyperliquid tracked earlier—an address starting with 0xf517—has adjusted its previously set BTC dip-buying plan. On September 2, the address placed three tiers of buy orders totaling approximately $76.88 million at $71,111 to $75,777, with a plan to purchase $76 million worth of BTC; above that, it had set a $70 million-level take-profit grid. However, BTC rallied immediately afterward, leaving none of the three buy orders filled, and all were canceled on September 4. Now, the whale has significantly shifted its entry point higher: it currently holds only one concentrated buy order for 956.85 BTC at $77,888, worth approximately $74.527 million. Compared to its previous highest entry price of $75,777, this is an increase of roughly $2,111, or 2.8%; at current BTC prices, a pullback of just around 1.4% would trigger the order. During the period of missing out on position expansion, the whale also partially realized gains from its original positions. It has taken a total profit of 28.05 BTC, generating approximately $64,000 in profit, and its current holdings have dropped to 78.31 BTC, a reduction of about 26.4%. However, its original upper take-profit plan remains unchanged: there is still a roughly $6.96 million "position-reduction only" sell order at $88,888, and 163 regular sell orders worth approximately $70.32 million between $84,509 and $108,720. Earlier report: A BTC whale pre-placed a $158 million large order to prepare for "bull market conditions", projecting BTC to rally all the way to $100,000.

Insight Beating AI News Flash: Independent developer cozyblaze has integrated GPT-6 Astra into Valve’s 3D puzzle game *Portal*. At the start, he only gave one instruction: complete the game from start to end credits without accessing the internet for walkthroughs. Astra successfully cleared the game in roughly 23 hours and 43 minutes, consuming around 435 million tokens, which translates to approximately $571 based on API pricing. Astra’s gameplay differs from human play: when it thinks, the game pauses, then it analyzes the current screen, character position, and perspective to decide its next move, where to look, and where to place portals before resuming the game. Mid-experiment, OpenAI’s service faced capacity issues, so the author manually resumed the task and later switched to the faster Fast mode. Public logs show no additional game prompts were provided to Astra from start to the appearance of the end credits. However, this is not a strict benchmark. *Portal* has been released for nearly 20 years, with a wealth of walkthroughs and videos online. Even though the experiment prohibited Astra from actively searching for walkthroughs online, it cannot rule out that relevant game knowledge was already included in its training data. What’s truly notable is that AI can now complete a task that lasts nearly a day and requires continuous observation and operation of a 3D environment.
