OpenAI is set to introduce a new name for its data centers, a move confirmed by the company’s spokesperson on Sunday: “Compute Campus”. “‘Compute Campus’ better captures the scale and role of the infrastructure we’re building for AI—long-term investments in computing power, energy infrastructure, and skilled labor.” Data centers have long faced widespread public criticism, and prior efforts to improve their image have largely fallen flat. Now, data centers have emerged as a key issue for voters in the midterm elections. While major data center operators including Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft have pledged millions of dollars to local communities and schools near their facilities, OpenAI is betting on a full rebranding to turn public sentiment around.

According to CCTV News, local time on November 1, Iranian Foreign Minister Al-Araghchi stated in a media interview that the Iranian delegation’s visit to Qatar is a continuation of ongoing communications between Iran and mediators including Qatar and Pakistan. The plan currently on the table is largely identical to Iran’s previously proposed “Seven-Day Plan”. Mediators such as Qatar and Pakistan have held multiple consultations and discussions on the plan, putting forward proposals that are more feasible and operational than Iran’s “Seven-Day Plan”. Al-Araghchi noted that one of Qatar’s proposals is “shortening the seven-day deadline to five days or even shorter”. Currently, Iran has agreed to a “Two-Day Plan”: On the first day, the US will take a series of compliance measures; on the second day, the Strait of Hormuz will open, and strait traffic will return to its previous state. Al-Araghchi pointed out that all these issues are now on the table. As long as the US adheres to Iran’s two-day plan, it will pave the way for peace and restore normalcy to the Strait of Hormuz. Only after the US fulfills its relevant commitments and the Strait of Hormuz opens will the path for resuming negotiations between Iran and the US be opened. It is understood that the conditions Iran has set for the US to fulfill its commitments include: determining new navigation routes for the Strait of Hormuz, unfreezing Iranian funds, ending regional wars including that in Lebanon, lifting maritime blockades, granting exemptions for Iran’s oil exports, and removing new sanctions imposed by the US after the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding.

Following the largest crypto hack in history, Binance launched phased withdrawal services starting at 14:00 Beijing Time on November 1, 2026. Some users opted to transfer their assets from the exchange to personal cold wallets after withdrawal channels reopened, seeking more autonomous custody. However, the concentrated withdrawal period post-reopening is a high-risk window for Address Poisoning attacks. Attackers target public addresses or addresses with recent transaction records, flooding them with "poisoning transactions". The fake addresses used in these transactions closely mimic users’ real addresses in several leading and trailing characters (typically the first and last four characters are identical), aiming to trick users into accidentally copying the wrong address from their wallet history during rushed operations, or having intermediate characters replaced by malware-infected clipboards. BlockBeats reminds users that when initiating withdrawals from a trading platform, they should manually verify all 42 hexadecimal characters of the target address in full, and recommends conducting at least two to three independent checks, avoiding reliance on auto-filled history, recent transaction lists, or system clipboard content.
