The popular AI framework Virtuals Protocol will host an in-person meet-up in Hong Kong on Friday, January 17.

Beating AI Express News: Tencent has dedicated its Qwen3.5-122B-A10B model to training a terminal agent, resulting in T1. The agent is designed to handle complex tasks in Linux terminals, with each task capable of calling tools consecutively for over 300 rounds at maximum. Its score on Terminal-Bench 2.1 rose from 43.8% for the base model to 64.0%, an increase of 20.2 percentage points. The bulk of this gain came from reinforcement learning: SFT alone lifted the score to 49.4%, while subsequent reinforcement learning added another 14.6 points. The team prepared around 15,000 terminal tasks, each paired with an automated test. Even if the agent does not complete the entire task, it can earn corresponding rewards for meeting partial requirements. Long tasks present another challenge: when the agent performs actual work and later uses that experience for training, the same content may be re-split into different tokens, and the Mixture of Experts (MoE) may switch to a different set of experts. T1 records both the tokens generated at the time and the selected experts, and replicates these during training, reducing this training-inference gap by approximately one-third.

According to official news, the community of STARLINK, a meme token in the X Layer ecosystem, opened its community donation charity fund at 9:00. STARLINK launched on September 9 on Ignix, X Layer’s general launch platform, with SPCX as the pricing token for pool pairing. Transaction taxes are allocated to the vault and distributed to holders in SPCX; as of press time, its market capitalization exceeds $7.5 million. Per its announcement, the community fund is managed via a fixed address and multi-sig wallet. The principal of tokens donated to the fund remains untouched—actual expenditures are funded solely by dividends generated from these holdings, which will be used to purchase Starlink satellite internet equipment and deploy it to areas without internet access, including disaster-hit regions and network deserts. All fund inflows and outflows are verifiable on the X Layer blockchain. The project team stated it will continuously disclose donation lists, every equipment procurement voucher, deployment locations, and reconciliation records of dividend income and deployed device counts. As of press time, the fund’s donation address has received a total of 350 million STARLINK, equivalent to approximately $2.84 million. Ignix is X Layer’s general launch platform, allowing creators to customize buy and sell taxes, select vault templates, and bind AI Agents for launches. BlockBeats reminds users that related token prices are highly volatile with significant uncertainty, so users should exercise caution when investing.

SlowMist tweeted that ether.fi suffered an attack, resulting in losses of approximately 15.45 ETH. According to analysis, the root cause lies in the lack of access control for the `solver` parameter passed by the caller in the `solve()` function of the AtomicQueue contract—there is no check for `solver == msg.sender`, nor any signature, registration, or authorization verification. The attacker first constructed a malicious AtomicRequest via the `updateAtomicRequest()` function, then forced a victim address to act as the solver. The AtomicQueue contract subsequently called `finishSolve` on the victim address, executing `want.transferFrom(solver, users[i], assetsToUser)`, and exploited the ERC-20 approval the victim had previously granted to steal funds.
