Meme Coin Enthusiast Erects Gold Statue of Bitcoin in Honor of Trump Near US Capitol

2025.09.18 17:16:29

On Wednesday, September 18th, meme coin enthusiasts carried out a stunt during a live broadcast on Pump.fun. They placed a huge gold statue of President Donald Trump holding a Bitcoin outside the United States Capitol Building as a tribute to this crypto-friendly president. The statue was set up across from Union Square in Washington, D.C., which is on the National Mall leading to Capitol Hill and about a mile away from the White House. The event's website stated that this action was to pay tribute to Trump's firm commitment to "paving the way for the financial future through Bitcoin and decentralized technology." As the statue was unveiled, the Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points for the first time this year. This is generally regarded as positive for risk assets like cryptocurrencies because it reduces the cost of borrowing. The organizers emphasized Trump's pro-crypto stance. One of the statue's organizers, Hichem Zaghdoudi, told ABC 7News DC that the statue "aims to stimulate a discussion about the future of government-issued money and is a symbol of the intersection of modern politics and financial innovation."

Even trillion-parameter models can’t salvage dirty data, domestic large language models are starting to redo pre-training.

Beating AI Insight News Flash. Leiphone reports that over the past six months, multiple domestic large language model (LLM) vendors have begun redoing their pre-training processes, with all issues traced to data quality. One vendor spent nearly a year training a trillion-parameter model, only to have its performance outperformed by a small model with just around 1% of the parameter count. The team ultimately found the root cause lay in the training data: web spam, duplicate corpora, and low-quality annotations had been mixed into the training set, rendering even the largest models ineffective. The case comes from an anonymous source, and the specific company has not been disclosed. Tencent Hunyuan has publicly announced a full redo of its pre-training work. Since February this year, the team has rebuilt its pre-training and reinforcement learning infrastructure. Previous media reports revealed that the old version of Hunyuan had issues including ranking manipulation data being mixed into the training set and inconsistent annotation rules. The new team redefined data standards, cleaned up existing corpora, and Hy3 listed data quality and diversity as key improvement areas. Alibaba and Baidu are also stepping up data governance efforts. Alibaba’s Qwen3 uses the Qwen2.5 series models to clean documents, and has significantly supplemented synthetic math and code data. Baidu’s Ernie 4.5 has added deduplication, low-quality filtering, data mapping, and manual review processes. Neither company has publicly stated that they had to redo work due to dirty data, but both have invested more efforts in data processing for their new-generation models.

US Treasury May Deploy Nearly $1 Trillion in Fiscal Cash to Stabilize Money Markets

The U.S. Treasury is developing a plan that could reshape how short-term funding markets function: deploying a portion of cash held in the Treasury General Account (TGA) into the private repo market on a regular basis, rather than leaving all of it parked at the Federal Reserve. The proposal earned backing from multiple market participants at the New York Fed’s annual U.S. Treasury market conference this week. The TGA, which currently holds just under $1 trillion, serves as the Treasury’s day-to-day operating cash account. The Treasury first put forward this idea back in May, and this week’s discussions have advanced to focus on specific implementation methods. Market observers see this move as a potential new stabilizing tool for short-term funding markets. If the Treasury actively deploys part of its TGA cash into the repo market, it would add a direct channel for traditional fiscal cash flows to enter the money market. Market participants are thus particularly concerned about whether the operations will be predictable.
