Trump just now signs an Executive Order establishing the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile

The Reserve will be capitalized with Bitcoin owned by the federal government that was forfeited as part of criminal or civil asset forfeiture proceedings. This means it will not cost taxpayers a dime.

It is estimated that the U.S. government owns about 200,000 bitcoin; however, there has never been a complete audit. The E.O. directs a full accounting of the federal government’s digital asset holdings.

The U.S. will not sell any bitcoin deposited into the Reserve. It will be kept as a store of value. The Reserve is like a digital Fort Knox for the cryptocurrency often called “digital gold.”

Premature sales of bitcoin have already cost U.S. taxpayers over $17 billion in lost value. Now the federal government will have a strategy to maximize the value of its holdings.

The Secretaries of Treasury and Commerce are authorized to develop budget-neutral strategies for acquiring additional bitcoin, provided that those strategies have no incremental costs on American taxpayers.

IN ADDITION, the Executive Order establishes a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, consisting of digital assets other than bitcoin forfeited in criminal or civil proceedings.

The government will not acquire additional assets for the Stockpile beyond those obtained through forfeiture proceedings.

The purpose of the Stockpile is responsible stewardship of the government’s digital assets under the Treasury Department.

FoundationStereo: A Revolutionary Breakthrough in Stereo Vision

NVIDIA researchers have just introduced FoundationStereo, a groundbreaking foundation model for stereo depth estimation that works right out of the box without any fine-tuning.

Stereo vision enables computer systems to perceive depth and create 3D representations of the world using images from two or more cameras - similar to how humans perceive depth through two eyes.

Code.

This capability is crucial for:
- Robotics and automation
- Autonomous vehicles
- AR/VR applications
- Industrial inspection
- Medical imaging

The Breakthrough
Until now, high-quality depth estimation from low-cost cameras has been a persistent challenge in industrial applications, often requiring investments of $10,000+ in specialized structured-light scanners.

FoundationStereo changes the game by:
Zero-shot generalization: The model works across diverse scenarios without domain-specific fine-tuning
Handling challenging cases: Exceptional performance on transparent objects, reflective surfaces, and complex lighting conditions
Leveraging monocular priors: Adapting rich geometric priors from vision foundation models
Massive training dataset: Built on a 1-million stereo pair synthetic dataset with unprecedented diversity and photorealism
Technical Innovation
The researchers developed several novel components:
Side-Tuning Adapter that leverages internet-scale knowledge from monocular depth estimation models
Attentive Hybrid Cost Filtering with 3D Axial-Planar Convolution
Disparity Transformer for long-range context reasoning

OpenAI has evolved their thinking about AGI development.

Rather than viewing AGI as a sudden leap, they now see it as a continuous series of increasingly capable systems.

Key Risks They're Addressing

1. Human Misuse
: People using AI in ways that violate laws and democratic values.

2. Misaligned AI: AI systems acting in ways that don't align with human values and intentions.

3. Societal Disruption: Rapid AI-driven changes causing unpredictable effects on society and inequality.

Their Core Safety Principles
Embracing Uncertainty

They treat safety as a science, learning through real-world deployment rather than just theory. This includes rigorous measurement of risks and proactive mitigation strategies.

Defense in Depth

OpenAI applies multiple layers of safeguards, similar to other safety-critical fields. They teach models to understand safety values, follow instructions, and remain reliable even under uncertainty.

Methods that Scale

They develop safety approaches that become more effective as AI capabilities increase, even using current AI systems to help align more advanced ones.

Human Control

OpenAI places humans at the center of their alignment approach, creating transparent systems that people can meaningfully supervise. They incorporate public feedback into policy formation and work on interfaces that help humans guide AI effectively.

Community Effort

They recognize that ensuring safe AGI requires collaboration across industry, academia, government, and the public. OpenAI shares research, provides resources to the field, funds external research, and engages with policymakers.

While OpenAI has a clear vision for safety, they remain open to being wrong about how AI progress will unfold and welcome diverse perspectives on AI risk management.

LeanAgent: the first lifelong learning agent for formal theorem proving in Lean.

LLMs have been integrated with interactive proof assistants like Lean for theorem proving with 100% accuracy.

So far, these LLMs cannot continuously generalize to new knowledge and struggle with advanced mathematics.

LeanAgent continuously learns and improves on ever-expanding mathematical knowledge without forgetting what it learned before. It has a curriculum learning strategy that optimizes the learning trajectory in terms of mathematical difficulty, a dynamic database for efficient management of evolving mathematical knowledge, and progressive training to balance stability and plasticity.

LeanAgent successfully proves 155 theorems across 23 diverse Lean repositories where formal proofs were previously missing, many from advanced mathematics. It proves challenging theorems in domains like abstract algebra and algebraic topology while showcasing a clear progression of learning from basic concepts to advanced topics.

LeanAgent achieves exceptional scores in stability and backward transfer, where learning new tasks improves performance on previously learned tasks.

Summary of insights from OpenAI AMA on X following the launch of Agent Tools and APIs

Responses API and Tools

1. Operator functionality (CUA model) is available starting today through the Responses API

2. Responses API is stateful by default, supports retrieving past responses, chaining them, and will soon reintroduce threads

3. Code Interpreter tool is planned as the next built-in tool in the Responses API

4. Web search can be used together with structured outputs by defining a JSON schema explicitly

5. Assistants API won't be deprecated until migration to Responses API is possible without data loss

6. "Assistants" and "agents" terms are interchangeable, both describing systems independently accomplishing user tasks

7. Curl documentation is provided in API references, with more examples coming soon

Agents SDK and Compatibility

- Agents SDK supports external API calls through custom-defined function tools
- SDK compatible with external open-source models that expose a Chat Completions-compatible API endpoint (no Responses API compatibility required)
- JavaScript and TypeScript SDKs coming soon; Java SDK may be prioritized based on demand
- Tracing functionality covers external Chat Completions-compatible models as a "generation span"
- Agents SDK supports MCP connections through custom-defined function tools
- Asynchronous operations aren't natively supported yet; interim solution is immediately returning "success" followed by updating via user message later
- Agent tools can include preset variables either hardcoded or through a context object
- Privacy can be managed using guardrails and an input_filter to constrain context during agent handoffs
- Agents SDK workflows can combine external Chat Completions-compatible models and OpenAI models, including built-in tools like CUA
- Agentic "deep research" functionality can be built using Responses API or Agents SDK

File and Vector Store Features

- File search returns citation texts via the "annotations" parameter
- Vector stores already support custom chunking and hybrid search, with further improvements planned
- Images are not yet supported in vector stores, but entire PDFs can be directly uploaded into the Responses API for small-document use cases

Computer Use Model (CUA) and Environment

- Docker environments for computer use must be managed by developers; recommended third-party cloud services are Browserbase and Scrapybara, with provided sample apps
- Predefined Ubuntu environments and company-specific setups can be created using OpenAI's CUA starter app
- Integrated VMs or fully managed cloud environments for CUA are not planned yet; developers are encouraged to use sample apps with third-party hosting providers
- CUA model primarily trained on web tasks but shows promising performance in desktop applications; still early stage

Realtime Usage Tracking

- OpenAI currently doesn't provide a built-in solution for tracking realtime usage via WebRTC ephemeral tokens; using a relay/proxy is recommended as an interim solution

OpenAI Models and Roadmap

- o1-pro will be available soon in Responses API
- o3 model development continues with API release planned; details forthcoming

Strategy and Positioning

OpenAI identifies as both a product and model company, noting ChatGPT's 400M weekly users help improve model quality, and acknowledges they won't build all needed AI products themselves

Unexpected Use Cases

Early Responses API tests revealed use cases such as art generation, live event summarization, apartment finding, and belief simulations
