: Robinhood has announced the launch of an AI Agent feature, allowing users to delegate stock trading and credit card spending decisions to AI agents. According to the introduction, users can connect AI tools such as Anthropic Claude and Cursor to their designated Robinhood accounts, enabling the AI to automatically execute stock trades, portfolio management, and spending tasks, while users retain control through spending limits, approval mechanisms, and real-time notifications.In payment scenarios, the AI Agent can use the Robinhood Gold virtual credit card to automatically search for deals, book travel, and purchase tickets. Robinhood stated that this feature currently only supports stock trading, with plans to expand to options and cryptocurrency trading in the future.
According to CoinDesk, Base—the Ethereum Layer 2 network operated by Coinbase—has launched the AI-integration tool Base MCP, which connects users’ Base accounts to AI clients such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor, enabling them to perform transactions—including fund transfers, token swaps, balance checks, transaction history reviews, and interactions with DeFi applications—using natural language.
: Base, the Ethereum scaling network incubated by Coinbase, has launched Base MCP, aiming to connect AI interfaces with Base wallet infrastructure.Through this integration, users can use natural language commands in AI tools that support the MCP open standard to complete token swaps, fund transfers, and interact with Base ecosystem applications. Supported AI interfaces include Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and others.Base MCP will serve as a secure gateway between user Base accounts and AI interfaces. At its initial launch, it will connect with applications such as Morpho, Bankr, Moonwell, Avantis, Aerodrome, Virtuals, and Uniswap, covering scenarios including lending, swaps, perpetual contracts, new tokens, and AI Agent issuance.MCP stands for Model Context Protocol, originally proposed by Anthropic, and is an open standard for connecting AI models with external tools and data sources.
Musk said Grok Base Model V9-Medium (1.5T) training has been completed with good evaluation results. A large amount of Cursor data has been added during supplementary training, and more will be added subsequently. Fine-tuning is currently underway, and reinforcement learning is expected to begin in a few days. The official release is anticipated in 2 to 3 weeks.
Elon Musk posted on X, stating that the latest completed training run of Grok V9 (1.5T parameters) has "performed very well," and this result has not yet incorporated the supplementary training portion from Cursor data. The base model currently under internal development is V9, with approximately 1.5 trillion parameters. Compared to V8, it features significant improvements in data cleaning, training methods, model scale, and has been optimized for the Blackwell architecture to enhance computational efficiency.Musk emphasized that, in contrast, the current public-facing version v4.2, built on the V8 base model with approximately 0.5T parameters and running on the Hopper architecture, still has certain limitations in training data quality and coverage. The performance gap between Grok V8 and V9 is massive, with the new-generation model achieving a leapfrog upgrade in overall capabilities.
Coinbase, a cryptocurrency trading platform, has disclosed in a technical sharing session that its internal multi-agent development tool "Mux" is reshaping software engineering workflows, transitioning the engineer's role from traditional code implementers to task orchestrators for AI agents.With the widespread internal adoption of AI programming tools such as Cursor, Copilot, OpenCode, and Claude Code, code generation efficiency has significantly improved. However, development workflows have long remained stuck in a traditional "single-task, single-branch, sequential execution" mode, creating a new collaboration bottleneck.Mux was born as an internal tool against this backdrop. By assigning each AI agent an independent git worktree, branch, and terminal environment, the system enables parallel multi-task development and conflict-free collaboration, allowing engineers to simultaneously direct multiple agents to handle tasks such as API development, test writing, vulnerability fixes, and code refactoring.Data shows that as of April 2026, Mux has covered over 600 users within Coinbase (including engineers, product managers, and designers), with 335 actively using it and 197 being high-frequency users. It has facilitated over 5,000 PR merges across 461 code repositories and 10 organizations. Engineers using Mux achieved an average of 39.6 PR merges, approximately 3.5 times the baseline of 11.4.Coinbase stated that Mux's success relies on its internal infrastructure capabilities, including an LLM Gateway, secure model access, and a code flow deployment system, enabling deep integration of multi-agent tools into real development workflows. This trend marks a structural shift in the software engineering paradigm: as AI reduces the cost of code generation, the core value of engineers is transitioning from "implementation capability" to "problem definition and agent orchestration capability."
According to The Information, sources familiar with the matter said that although Cursor has previously accepted SpaceX’s conditional $60 billion acquisition offer (which has not yet been finalized), the company currently has no plans to jointly develop a coding model with xAI, SpaceX’s AI division. Instead, Cursor is focusing on optimizing its in-house model, Composer—which is partially powered by the Chinese AI model Kimi. Market expectations had previously suggested that, if the deal were completed, Cursor might engage in deep collaboration with xAI to develop programming models. However, the latest developments indicate that the company will continue pursuing an independent technical path in the near term.
According to a research report released by cybersecurity firm Expel, the company is tracking an advanced persistent threat (APT) group dubbed “HexagonalRodent,” which is highly assessed to be a North Korean (DPRK) state-sponsored actor. This group primarily targets Web3 developers and specializes in stealing high-value digital assets—including cryptocurrencies and NFTs. In the first quarter of 2026 alone, the group compromised 2,726 developer devices and stole access credentials for 26,584 cryptocurrency wallets, with the total value of stolen assets reaching as high as $12 million. The group primarily carries out its attacks via fake job postings—publishing lucrative positions on LinkedIn and Web3 recruitment platforms to lure job seekers into completing “skills assessments” embedded with malicious code. These assessments exploit VSCode’s tasks.json functionality to automatically execute malware when victims open the project folder. The malware used includes BeaverTail, OtterCookie, and InvisibleFerret, all of which possess capabilities such as password theft, remote control, and reverse shell execution. Notably, the group extensively leverages generative AI tools—including ChatGPT and Cursor—to develop malware, build counterfeit corporate websites, and generate AI-forged executive teams. It even registered a shell company in Mexico to enhance the credibility of its operations. Additionally, the group recently carried out its first-ever supply-chain attack, successfully infiltrating a VSCode extension.
Odaily Seer Channel monitoring indicates that Polymarket has launched a new market: "Will SpaceX acquire Cursor," with the current probability of "Yes" at 74%.The event contract rules are as follows: If, before 11:59 PM Eastern Time on December 31, 2026, it is officially announced that Cursor will be acquired by SpaceX or will merge with it, the market will resolve to "Yes"; otherwise, the market will resolve to "No." Mergers or acquisitions involving Cursor or its parent company (where applicable) with SpaceX or its parent company, Space Exploration Technologies Corp., are eligible. The outcome will be "Yes" as long as Cursor or SpaceX issues an announcement within the market's timeframe, regardless of whether the announced acquisition/merger actually occurs. Announcements of partial sales may also qualify as long as the acquiring company gains a controlling interest in the other company. "Controlling interest" refers to a change in ownership sufficient to control the company's strategic decisions (typically meaning over 50% equity, or equivalent control through voting rights and governance). Transactions or investments that do not result in a transfer of controlling interest are not eligible. The primary source for resolving this market will be official information from Cursor and SpaceX; however, a consensus of credible reports may also be used.Odaily Seer Channel continues to monitor prediction markets, observing changes before they are priced.
