the "official" open-source model Rio-3.5-Open-397B, launched by IplanRIO, an IT company under the Rio de Janeiro City Government, has gained global popularity and been hailed as a rising force in Latin American open-source large models. Within less than 24 hours, this so-called AI "dark horse myth" was reversed, as the model was accused of being a "shell" version that is a weight-mixed variant of Alibaba's Qwen3.5 and NexN2Pro.Currently, IplanRIO has publicly apologized on the open-source community Hugging Face, admitting that an "operational error" led to the upload of a merged baseline version used for comparison. The open-source model team Nex-AGI has publicly alleged that this Rio model shows no traces of training by Rio itself, and that the so-called self-developed model is essentially a weight-mixed version of NexN2Pro and Qwen3.5-397B-A17B.

Odaily Odaily News: In the OpenAI lawsuit, Satya Nadella testified in court as Microsoft's CEO at the U.S. District Court in Oakland, California. The case centers on the ongoing legal dispute over OpenAI's non-profit structure and its path to commercialization. The lawsuit, filed by Elon Musk in 2024, accuses Microsoft of "aiding and abetting the breach of charitable trust obligations" during OpenAI's transition from a non-profit organization to a commercial entity. Microsoft has been making strategic investments in OpenAI since 2019, with cumulative investments reaching approximately $13 billion by 2023, making it one of OpenAI's most important external supporters.During the trial, Satya Nadella reviewed the early partnership between Microsoft and OpenAI, mentioning that the two parties had established deep technological and computing power collaboration before the launch of ChatGPT. In his earlier testimony, Musk stated that Microsoft's additional investment of approximately $10 billion in OpenAI in 2023 was the key turning point that prompted him to file the lawsuit, adding that the scale of the investment altered OpenAI's original non-profit-oriented structure. During the trial, Musk stated: "We are concerned they are turning a charitable organization into a commercial tool." He also questioned Microsoft's potential dominant position in the development of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and pointed out that its deep integration with OpenAI could impact the competitive landscape of the industry.The case is currently still under trial, and the debate surrounding OpenAI's governance structure, non-profit status, and control over the AI industry is expected to continue.

According to an official announcement, B.AI has officially entered into a strategic partnership with HTX DAO to jointly build a new paradigm covering the entire AI and Web3 domains. B.AI is committed to becoming the foundational financial infrastructure for the AI Agent era; this collaboration will leverage HTX DAO’s decentralized governance ecosystem and accelerate the arrival of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) through a more open and composable on-chain architecture. Moving forward, the two parties will explore areas including autonomous intelligent agent networks and on-chain intelligent services, driving the on-chain implementation of the intelligent economic layer.
As AI advances into the era of autonomous, collaborative agents, the B.AI platform has officially launched, delivering the critical “financial infrastructure” capabilities needed to enable deep participation of AI agents in value exchange—and overcoming the industry’s bottleneck in shifting from model-level capabilities to foundational support. As core infrastructure linking agents to economic systems, B.AI will host a dedicated Twitter Space on April 14 at 8 PM to deeply unpack how it is reshaping agents’ economic roles. By establishing seamless financial integration and collaboration standards, B.AI is accelerating the realization of the AGI vision through forward-looking technical architecture—unlocking new opportunities in intelligent productivity for users worldwide.

According to Yonhap News Agency, SK Telecom announced the signing of a trilateral memorandum of understanding (MOU) with UK-based chip design company Arm and Korean AI chip startup Rebellions to jointly develop AI data center inference server solutions. Under the agreement, the three parties will integrate Arm’s newly launched AGI CPU with Rebellions’ AI acceleration chip—RebelCard, scheduled for launch in Q3 this year—to jointly develop AI inference servers, which will be tested and validated at SK Telecom’s AI data centers. The Arm AGI CPU is optimized for high-density inference environments and large-scale AI deployments, while the RebelCard is specifically designed for large-scale AI inference.
During a Space livestream today themed “The Underlying Financial Infrastructure of the AI Agent Era: B.AI Officially Launches,” Justin Sun stated: In the future, national strength will no longer be measured by traditional GDP but by annual token consumption. Blockchain empowers AI with independent accounts and payment capabilities—transforming AI from a mere “tool” into a “digital lifeform” endowed with economic rights. In the imminent Agent era, individuals can drive countless “digital lobsters” to close the loop—from code to results—achieving geometric growth in productivity. This means B.AI is dedicated to building the foundational economic engine for the AGI era. It not only grants AI economic sovereignty through independent settlement but also lowers the barrier to innovation via an open-source ecosystem—making the emergence of “companies” possible. When AI can deliver instant feedback to provide individuals with a sense of security—and global settlement becomes instantaneous—humanity will truly achieve comprehensive liberation of productivity.
B.AI, the foundational financial infrastructure for the AI Agent era, officially launches today to provide core support for autonomous economic activities of AI agents. At 21:00 Beijing Time on April 9, B.AI will host an English-language live-stream event on X Space. Justin Sun will join industry experts and community representatives to explore the underlying economic engine logic designed for AGI. This event is co-organized by @trondao and @DCBK2LA. To enter the draw for a 10 USDT reward, participants must follow @BAI_AGI, retweet the event post, and tag three friends.
According to an official X (Twitter) announcement, starting today, the original AINFT official account will transition to B.AI. The B.AI brand focuses on advancing Agent Finance—enabling AI Agents to autonomously perform tasks such as fund management, trade execution, and yield optimization—thereby granting AI genuine financial autonomy while accelerating the technical realization of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). To ensure a smooth community transition, the rebranding will be implemented in phased upgrades, avoiding disruptions from an abrupt, all-at-once switch. During this process, AINFT will continue operating as a core sub-brand within the B.AI ecosystem. All AINFT-related content, technological updates, and community activities will migrate to the new channel @AINFTcom (https://t.me/AINFTcom).
According to official announcements, B.AI (http://b.ai/), the foundational economic engine dedicated to driving the evolution of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), has officially launched. As an infrastructure-level project designed for the AI Agent era, B.AI will build a standardized on-chain identity system and a frictionless payment protocol, granting machines independent economic sovereignty—enabling them to autonomously conduct value exchange and collaborative coordination, thereby transcending constraints imposed by the physical world and financial gateways. B.AI (http://b.ai/) not only aims to close the economic loop among agents and between humans and agents but also seeks to accelerate the emergence of AGI, realizing truly borderless intelligence and universal sharing of value. The official launch of B.AI (http://b.ai/) marks a pivotal leap from “tool intelligence” to “economic intelligence,” laying the foundational bedrock for building an open, equitable, and inclusive intelligent society.
