SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios. The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios. Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said. Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior.

Security isn’t a box to check at the end. @33audits helped us build it in from the start. We’re happy to have partnered with them throughout our development lifecycle. If you’re building in Web3, get your code reviewed before it’s live. Highly recommended. @33Labs_

I remember shouting this from the rooftops a year ago when everyone was focused on making more SaaS: AI is a services game. You cannot solve for enterprise inefficiency with tool adoption. You need AI implementers who go in, understand business processes, refactor for an AI-native reality, and then implement custom agents for those requirements. Varick has been building in this domain for longer than anyone. Our client satisfaction and expansion speaks for itself. Meta is just the latest to have entered the arena. I'm glad, because there are a million companies in the US alone that need a service like this, and Varick could never help all of them alone. For companies that don't want to be vendor locked into any one AI company's systems, subjecting themselves to - price hikes - model quantization/regressions - rate limits - migration costs down the line Let's chat. We're also HIRING: - FDEs - Platform Engineers If you're top 1% in your field, I want you at the #1 AI Transformation company in the world.

This weekend I invented something new, a new type of token using Uniswap v4 hooks that I call a Pair Token. A Pair Token is a new type of ERC-20. It is a fused, auto-compounding asset, a fusion of two tokens. For example, the stock tokens NVDA and SPCX fused into a single tokenized version of the two, with the ticker NVDASPCX, or ETH with NVDA, creating ETHNVDA. Each Pair Token represents a full-range Uniswap v4 liquidity pool. So why mint these tokens? These tokens are self-multiplying in terms of value, as at any moment anyone can call the compound function to compound the LP fees generated by the pair’s trading activity back into the asset. The token represents a new financial primitive, as it represents a proportional value and moves as an LP position NFT would, except that it is auto-compounding and, thanks to its v4 hook, allows for compounding and self-growth. Since it is an ERC-20, this token can be freely traded onchain, LPed, or even paired with a launchpad. A new type of token for a new type of exposure and strategy. Starting tonight, you’ll be able to mint or redeem Pair Tokens for any pair on Robinhood Chain via the StonkBrokers website. Minting and redeeming are free, and the compounding process on the tokens incurs a 10% fee on the LP fees generated, which is used for $STONKBROKER buybacks. I look forward to a new line of products and protocols on Robinhood Chain using this new financial primitive. Only on Robinhood Chain, powered by Uniswap. @Hookrfun

We were able to fine tune an open weight model (Qwen3.5-9B) on proprietary internal data at @coinbase, and it out performed frontier models, at much lower cost and speed, for a specialized task (fraud prevention in this case). I think we'll see more of this pattern inside companies. The frontier models are amazing generalists. But increasingly you'll see specialist models out perform on more narrow tasks, either working on teams, or by themselves. We're making it easy to fine tune models internally for our employees. We even have a skill for it in our internal harness that makes it easy to spin these up and start training them: "/fine-tune-and-serve-llm I want to fine-tune Qwen for payments risk review. help me get started" I imagine we'll have some backend services that could be replaced entirely by this new architecture.
