On June 8, per BlockBeats' monitoring, Mindverse’s Mind Lab has open-sourced the personal AI model Macaron-V1-Preview, which has 749 billion parameters. Built on the GLM5.1 pre-trained base, it offers a 202k context window and is released under the MIT license. The development team, led by Chen Kaijie and Andrew (co-authors of the ReAct and FireAct papers), includes core researchers from DeepSeek, ByteDance, and xAI. Currently, the model has deep integration with Mindverse’s assistant app Macaron, which boasts 2 million users, creating a closed “Product-Model” iterative feedback loop. Earlier this June, Mindverse closed a nearly $50 million Series A funding round led by Meituan. Macaron-V1-Preview underwent reinforcement learning training based on GLM5.1. It adopts a Mixture-of-LoRA (MoL) architecture, where task-specific “LoRA skill packs”—covering emotion understanding, tool usage, and coding capabilities—are mounted on a shared base model. These skill packs support sub-second dyna

NEW YORK, June 8 (Fortune) — Visa and Mastercard are in active talks with companies including Stripe, Coinbase, and potential additional players to form a stablecoin alliance and launch a dedicated new stablecoin platform, per sources familiar with the matter cited by Fortune. If the partnership is finalized, it would deliver a major shakeup to the $300 billion-plus global stablecoin market. Leveraging Visa, Mastercard, and Stripe’s massive reach in worldwide retail payments, the new platform aims to drive wider adoption of stablecoins for everyday transactions. Industry observers are closely tracking how the plan will impact Circle. Right now, Circle’s USDC dominates the regulated stablecoin market in North America and Europe. Insiders note that Visa, Mastercard, Coinbase, or all three could use the alliance to push merchants to adopt their own stablecoins, unlocking new revenue streams like reserve interest earnings. For Coinbase, it’s continuing to reap benefits from its 2023 dea
