Michael Saylor: Bitcoin Should Only Upgrade Its Network in Consensus on Quantum Computing Threat

2025.12.19 21:00:06

On December 19th, Michael Saylor stated in an interview: “Bitcoin Core v30 is extremely conservative about protocol changes. We’ve always been — and must always remain — extremely cautious when modifying the Bitcoin protocol. Any adjustments should be approached with great care; we need to ensure global consensus. I believe we should only upgrade the network if there’s agreement across the world’s 8 billion people, and only once quantum computing is confirmed to pose a threat.” “But if half the community supports an idea and the other half opposes it, we should slow down. These changes demand extreme caution. I’ve said it many times: one of the most effective ways to disrupt the Bitcoin network is to give a team of exceptionally talented developers unlimited funding, then tell them to ‘improve it.’” “In my view, Bitcoin’s core is a monetary protocol. Its lack of rapid change and frequent iteration isn’t a flaw — it’s a strength. I’m not part of the group eager to constantly add new features to Bitcoin. Assuming a good thing will fail if it’s not endlessly enhanced with new features is exactly how you ruin it.”

Xiaomi has publicly halted its MiMo reinforcement learning project, with two training runs costing $3.47 million.

Beating AI News Brief: Xiaomi’s MiMo has halted two publicly live-streamed reinforcement learning training runs. Both the Pro and Flash runs completed a full 30 training steps each, with total combined costs of $3.4747 million. The Pro run cost $2.6207 million, while the Flash run cost $854,000. The investment delivered clear performance gains: On DeepSWE v1.1, Pro’s score rose from 58.41 at step 1 to 72.57, a 14.16-point increase; Flash’s score jumped from 48.67 to 65.68, a 17.01-point gain. However, both curves showed noticeable dips in the middle, meaning scores do not rise steadily with longer training. Two additional benchmark tests also improved: Pro’s internal code evaluation score rose from 57.54 to 65.43, and its AutomationBench score increased from 45.2 to 53.1. The training process was not smooth: Pro encountered GPU out-of-memory (OOM) errors due to uneven expert load, plus disconnections and restarts between its training cluster and evaluator. Flash had to restart from step 15 due to infrastructure errors. Later, Xiaomi filtered out tasks that were too simple for Pro and removed the cyber dataset with abnormal rollout patterns from Pro’s subsequent training.
