The problem we study is that Vision Transformers exhibit grid-like and position-related noises, which hamper their performance on downstream tasks. This problem was first observed by Jiawei back to last summer when we worked on EmerNeRF ( and concurrently studied in Register (Darcet et al.). We propose a novel and universally applicable solution that capitalizes on feature invariances and neural fields to remove these noises. We use an instant-NGP to represent 2D features and enforce their invariance to geometric augmentation. Therefore, position-related noises (not invariant to geometric data augmentation) are removed and not cached in the neural fields. Then, to enable real-time tasks, we use the denoised features as pseudo labels to learn a generalizable denoiser (a one-layer Transformer block). Our method doesn't require a full re-training of existing ViTs (which can be very expensive due to data/model scale) Finally, we show that we can obtain better feature visualizations (PCA & Kmeans) and improve dense prediction tasks such as semantic segmentation and depth prediction. See more results in our paper and website.

Great work! I saw those artifacts when working on my MAGIC-VFM paper and ended up using DinoV1 rather than DinoV2. DinoV1 doesn't experience the same artifacts, but not sure why that's the case. I'll definitely try your method in my future work when using DinoV2.

@JiaweiYang118 @katielulula @jiefengli_jeff @YonglongT @KilianQW Do you think this noise occurs with hierarchical attention models like swin transformers?

Introducing ✨RigidFormer: Learning Rigid Dynamics with Transformers - our attempt to scale learning-based physical dynamics with Transformers. RigidFormer learns rigid dynamics with Transformers. It is a mesh-free, object-centric Transformer for multi-object rigid-body contact dynamics from point clouds. Learning physics with purely neural simulators, without relying on traditional physics engines, is an important and widely studied problem. Prior SOTA methods often use graph neural networks for accuracy and generalization, but still struggle with efficient, high-fidelity simulation at scale. RigidFormer uses only point inputs, matches or outperforms mesh-based baselines on standard benchmarks, runs much faster, generalizes across point resolutions and datasets, and scales to 200+ objects. We also show a preliminary extension to command-conditioned articulated bodies by treating body parts as interacting object-level components. RigidFormer is mesh-free: it does not require mesh connectivity, SDFs, or vertex-level message passing, making it well-suited for point-cloud observations and scalable simulation. This architecture can also be adapted to learn soft-body dynamics by replacing the rigid-body module (differentiable Kabsch alignment). 🎬See our video for more details. Many thanks to my amazing collaborators: Minghao Guo Minghao Guo, Haixu Wu Haixu Wu 吴海旭, Doug Roble, Tuur Stuyck Tuur Stuyck, and Wojciech Matusik Wojciech Matusik. Project page: Paper:

New model: your robot can now pack your suitcase 🧳 Xiaomi has released a new robot foundation model. Called Xiaomi-Robotics-1, it is designed to have a robot pick things up and move them around. But first, DEFINITIONS: - Mixture-of-Transformers (MoT): An architecture where separate transformer "experts" (e.g., one for vision-language, one for actions) share a single attention stream, so each modality gets specialized parameters without losing joint reasoning. - Vision-language model (VLM): A model that jointly understands images and text. - Diffusion transformer: A transformer trained to turn noise into structured outputs by iterative denoising, here generating robot actions rather than images. - Action chunks: Short sequences of future actions (e.g., the next ~50 motor commands) predicted in one shot instead of one step at a time. - Flow matching: A faster version of diffusion. The model learns a straight-line velocity field from noise to the target action, so it needs only a few integration steps instead of many denoising ones. Its peculiarity comes from its two stage training: 1. 100,000 hours of video shot through a UMI rig: a handheld 3D-printed gripper with a camera, worn by humans doing ordinary tasks in homes, shops, factories and offices. 2. Adapt to actual robot bodies with ~10,000 hours of real-robot data. It replaces the standard approach of teleoperating a real robot for every hour of training data. Its architecture is a Mixture-of-Transformers pairing a pre-trained Qwen3-VL vision-language model with a diffusion transformer that emits action chunks via flow matching, released in 2.6B, 5.1B and 10.5B parameter variants. However, if you read the entire paper ("Scaling VLA Models with over 100K Hours"), you realize that all of the scaling experiments on 20k hours. Therefore the headline "out-of-the-box success climbing 26% → 75% as pre-training data grows" tops out at 100% of 20k hours! What the full corpus does to that curve is never shown -> and this where things would become interesting! Xiaomi's own conclusion is that model size has stopped mattering and data is the binding constraint. The performance gap among different model sizes are less pronounced than those observed across different data scales. This result suggests that model capacity at the billions-parameter scale may already be sufficient to capture the current dataset's distribution. Which further asks the same question: why not use the 100k video hours? Anyway, I would definitely love to have a couple robots at home that can cooperate to pack my suitcase with items relevant to my next destination:

Do Vision-Language Models represent space, and how? Spatial terms like "left" or "right" may not be enough to match images with spatial descriptions, as we often overlook the different frames of reference (FoR) used by speakers and listeners. See Figure 1 for examples! Introducing the COnsistent Multilingual Frame Of Reference Test (COMFORT), an evaluation protocol to assess the spatial reasoning capabilities of VLMs. COMFORT includes systematically designed datasets and metrics that evaluate model performance, and their deeper linguistic competence, specifically the spatial knowledge encoded in their internal representations. Find out more in the video teaser! Almost all VLMs prefer the egocentric relative FoR with reflected transform, similar to English. Yet, we reveal significant shortcomings of VLMs: notably, the models (1) exhibit poor robustness and consistency, (2) lack the flexibility to accommodate multiple FoRs, and (3) fail to adhere to language-specific or culture-specific conventions in cross-lingual tests, as English tends to dominate other languages. A shortened version will appear in Pluralistic Alignment Workshop Pluralistic Alignment Workshop #NeurIPS2024. It seems that the ArXiv moderators put it on hold and are eager to give it a thorough read first🤣! So here is the Paper/Code/Data: This collaboration turns out to be amazing, jointly led by Brian Zheyuan Zhang, @Hu_FY_ Jayjun Lee, with so many contributions and insights from Freda Shi, Parisa Kordjamshidi Michigan SLED Lab. With a growing effort to align vision-language models with human cognitive intuitions, we call for more attention to the ambiguous nature and cross-cultural diversity of spatial reasoning!

I coded a Speech-to-Text model from scratch. 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞: No APIs. No pre-trained models. Just PyTorch, an A100 GPU, and hours of debugging. This started months ago. I wanted to understand how machines hear. Not surface-level understanding. I wanted to build the whole thing myself. So I built it piece by piece: autoencoders, VAEs, VQ-VAEs, Residual Vector Quantization, and CTC loss. Each one took days to get right. Trained for 3 hours on 13,100 audio clips. Got complete garbage. Changed the tokenizer from BPE to character-level. Rechecked everything. Asked AVB who built STT models before. His answer: these models are tricky to train and need days of compute, not hours. Cut the dataset to 200 clips. After 2 hours, actual words appeared. Overfitted? Absolutely. But watching noise turn into recognizable English was satisfying. I have made a blog about this as well so you can learn about the same and my process - Audio fundamentals and waveform representation - Why attention breaks on raw audio - Convolutional downsampling - Transformer encoder with positional encoding - Vector Quantization, straight-through estimator, and RVQ - CTC loss and greedy decoding - Full training loop with VQ loss warmup - What went wrong and what finally worked Resources: - Blog: - Code: More Resoures CTC loss AVB videos SoundStream Paper LJ speech dataset wav2vec paper RVQ blog Next up: I've already trained two TTS architectures from scratch.

Check out our #ECCV2026 paper "Low-latency Event-based Object Detection with Spatially-Sparse Linear Attention", where we make linear attention sparse in space, recurrent in time, and parallel in training, enabling the first purely-linear-attention-based neural network for asynchronous object detection with #EventCameras, outperforming the previous best asynchronous method with 20x less computation with truly event-by-event inference on CPU! Code released! Paper: Code: Video: Event cameras promise extremely low-latency vision, but to fully exploit them, the neural network must be low-latency too. We introduce #SpatiallySparseLinearAttention (#SSLA) for asynchronous object detection directly from raw events. Linear attention is particularly appealing for event cameras: it can be trained efficiently in parallel on long event sequences, while at inference it operates recurrently, updating its prediction every time a new event arrives. The problem is that conventional linear attention updates its entire state for every event. For object detection, where fine spatial resolution matters, this quickly becomes expensive. Our key idea is simple: an event only carries information about a small spatial region, so why update the entire spatial state? SSLA updates only the relevant parts of the state, enabling fine-grained spatial representations while keeping per-event computation low. We achieve: - >20× lower per-event computation than the strongest prior asynchronous baseline - State-of-the-art accuracy among asynchronous object detection methods - Truly event-by-event inference on CPU, designed to preserve the latency advantage of event cameras Come to our poster on Friday September 11, 2026 from 4-6pm at ExHall #389 Reference: Haiqing Hao, Zhipeng Sui, Rong Zou, Zijia Dai, Nikola Zubić, Davide Scaramuzza, Wenhui Wang Low-latency Event-based Object Detection with Spatially-Sparse Linear Attention ECCV, 2026 Prophesee SynSense University of Zurich UZH Science European Research Council (ERC) UZHai UZH IfI Tesla BYD #EventCameras #ComputerVision #Robotics #DeepLearning #NeuromorphicVision #AI

Dear Global Pioneers, I hope this message finds you well. Over the past few days, I’ve been deeply engaged with work and haven’t had many opportunities to share updates. Today, I want to take a moment to highlight our current priorities and the direction we must take moving forward. Our core focus now must be educating and rebuilding confidence among pioneers in the Pi Network. This is not just about awareness—it’s about laying a solid foundation for the long-term success of both Pi and our shared GCV. I understand that many of you are eager to access and use your Pi as soon as possible. But I encourage you to pause and reflect: After years of mining, is it truly worthwhile to sell your Pi for a few hundred or even a few thousand dollars? What happens after the money is gone? Who will support you during unexpected financial hardships? Consider the many people who once had stable incomes but eventually fell into poverty due to job loss or medical issues. If you sell all your Pi now, what will you have left when your family needs you most? This is why we must take action—not through monetary investment or years of uncertainty, but through unity and education. If 10 million pioneers each share the GCV message with just 5 to 10 a day across social platforms, we could rapidly shift awareness and perception. We can easily have 30 million pioneers with long-term vision. At present, the road to a successful OM is blocked by a lack of consensus. Many pioneers are focused only on short-term profits, unaware of the true potential of Pi. Despite the existence of 25+ DApps on the Mainnet, there is still no unified price, and most merchants value Pi at just a few dollars—some even less—due to the price on exchanges hovering around $0.50. This trend is damaging. The continued price decline stems from pioneers treating Pi solely as a free commodity to sell without a low bottom line. The rush for KYC, migrations, and speculative trading only accelerates this downward pressure. Recently, the migration of 30 million Pi in one day caused a $0.12 price drop. Some analysts believe that if this continues unchecked, Pi could fall to $0.12. With over 330 million Pi scheduled to be released from long-term lockups, and most pioneers holding large amounts, the influx to the market will further strain the price. At the same time, much of the messaging surrounding Pi focuses only on the technical milestones, leading many to believe that technology alone guarantees success. This is a dangerous misconception. Now, more than ever, we need to rally together. If we truly want to protect our lifestyle, income, and future, we must embrace the GCV movement and advocate for our shared vision. The CT has deliberately left space for us to lead this initiative. It’s our turn to step up. If we remain silent, the vision behind Pi will fade. But if we rise, speak, and educate, we can transform Pi into a tool for lasting global impact—not just another cryptocurrency. Let’s unite and shape our future—together. Sincerely, Doris Yin 🪷 🪷🪷

Today we're announcing $280M in Series B funding at a $2B valuation, led by our long-time investor and partner, Menlo Ventures. When we announced our Series A last May, most conversations I had about voice began with someone explaining why they doubted it. I don't have those conversations anymore. People tell me instead how much time they save talking instead of typing and what they want us to build next. In a little over a year, voice has gone from something people were questioning to something they rely on, and it happened faster than we expected. That shift is why we've raised a new round of funding. This funding represents a deeper investment in our products, lab, models, and our team. Alongside the funding, we're announcing a preview of our first proprietary speech model, Canto. Canto is a 2B parameter speech model trained for the places people actually talk: loud rooms, windy streets, a toddler in the background, a second language mixed into the first. Models like this will change how we all interact with devices, and Canto is the first in a rapid line of them. Each one will be larger and more capable than the last, and each should improve Flow's dictation in a way you can feel the day it ships. Larger speech models also open the door to the vision we dreamed up 5 years ago: using your voice as the primary way you interact with devices. That still has to be invented. A voice interface people rely on all day, in every app, doesn't exist anywhere yet. It's time for that to change. To Sahaj Garg, our team, and every person who gave Wispr Flow a chance - this one's for you.

China is a nation of 1.5 billion people with a GDP of US$20 trillion, it has 21 ministries, yet it is the second biggest economy in the world. Zimbabwe is a nation of only 15 million people with a paltry GDP of only US$20 billion, yet it has more than 26 government ministries with deputy ministers, yet it is one of the worst economies in the world with the highest global inflation. It even has an Orwellian Ministry of Truth dubbed the Ministry of Information and Publicity. Do you now understand why we are a joke and laughing stock to the world? Whilst President Mnangagwa has appointed a cabinet of family, friends and actresses, four out of the seven members of China’s Politburo Standing Committee hold degrees in Social Science and Humanities. The majority of the Chinese Central Committee members are trained in Law, Economics, and Social Science. Within the Chinese Central Committee, 45 members have a PhD degrees. Out of these 45, three members of the Chinese Politburo, and two members of the Politburo Standing Committee have a doctoral degree. Chinese President Xi Jinping is one of the Politburo Standing Committee members who holds a PhD, the other one is premier Li Keqiang. China’s top two leaders have doctoral degrees and have a professional track record. Then Africans wonder why the continent is a joke to the outside world and why we don’t progress whilst others outdoor us on every development index? Imagine that the people who were appointed today by President Mnangagwa are essentially the best foot forward for the him🤣🤣🤣 For China it is not just about education, it is also about political discipline and national interest. That is why they execute corrupt political elites, in Zimbabwe we would be left with No Government at all if we applied the same Chinese standard on corruption. I had dinner with 2 Chinese diplomats in 2012 after Dr Ibbo Mandaza asked me to drive him to the dinner meeting at Great Wall Chinese restaurant in Belgravia in Harare. These diplomats asked us why Zimbabwe sends useless people for trade negotiations and why our government officials don’t take notes. They asked if we can’t see that there is a difference between national interest and personal interest. I felt so humiliated when they started talking about the number of poor citizens that China lifted out of poverty every year. In Zimbabwe we can only talk about the number of citizens that ZANUPF has impoverished annually. We don’t even have a working radiotherapy cancer treatment machine in the whole country. The biggest hospital only has ONE working maternity theatre. We have a ministerial cabinet that can’t think beyond its nose, and that has no gravitas or world view at all, and you still wonder why Zimbabwe is the sick man of the Southern African region? We used to be the second most sophisticated economy in Africa after independence. I belong to the Tutu Fellowship/African Leadership Institute, and in our fellowship we have ministers and ambassadors from various African countries. These are very sharp Africans! One of them who was recently appointed as ICT minister in Nigeria spent his time as an entrepreneur before the appointment hanging out with people like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, yet Mnangagwa appointed an actress from a drama TV series called Studio 263 as Zimbabwe’s ICT🤣🤣🤣 What will she discuss with Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg? We really should stop this nonsense of talking up how educated we are, it is a myth. No educated nation will have someone like Kirsty Coventry who has run down sport KN Zimbabwe reappointed as sports minister🤣🤣🤣 We should say we have educated individuals, that is where it ends because that education doesn’t translate into an educated country. It is uncoordinated brilliance because we are led by people with no vision for the country beyond looting, repression, abuse of State institutions and plunder of the country’s natural resources. For now we are truly doomed!

Doris Yin's Message for 2025 3rd GCV Conference Dear Global Pioneers! Nice to meet you again — it’s been maybe one or two weeks since my last video, and I really miss all of you! How have you been? I hope everyone is living happily, staying healthy, and feeling safe wherever you are. 📷 So, what’s my topic for today? Recently, I’ve been thinking about something very important — our Global Pioneer GCV Conference. We have a lot of meaningful updates and plans to share. I’m not sure if you’ve been following my recent articles and videos, but today I want to remind you of your homework! What is your homework? It’s simple — share this information. Share this video. Share our promotion messages everywhere, every single day. Why is this so important? Because education builds strength. When pioneers are educated, they can support GCV, they can understand the true value of Pi, and they can value their own lives and build confidence. I always said no matter in Pi Network community or in your daily private life, living or working, you must study so that you understand what you should do and why you should do so that you can have confidence in yourself . That is why you need to promote 3rd Conference because of confidence in Pi Network. Right now, the world faces many problems — economic instability, misinformation, and a lack of trust. But we, as pioneers, have the power to change that by spreading knowledge, truth, and unity. One of the biggest problems today is that many people can’t find a job. Of course, it’s not always because they lack skills — sometimes it’s because of the global economy or their country’s economy. But remember this: If you keep studying, if you are a fast learner, and if you can stay focused, there will always be opportunities waiting for you. And when you do good things, when you help your community, and when you make the right choices, good energy will come to you. In Chinese, we call this “Qi (气)” — it means energy. When you have good Qi, you attract good people, good events, and good opportunities. This is very important, especially now. I know that many people are facing hard times. Around the world, many are unemployed, homeless, or struggling with debt. Even among our 60 million pioneers, many are living in hardship. Some cannot make ends meet, and life feels heavy. So how do we deal with this? I understand — many pioneers feel anxious. They want to get money right away. But this creates a conflict with our mission. Because the Pioneer work is not about short-term gain — it’s about long-term success. Our goal is to build something that lasts, something that gives value and dignity to every pioneer for many years to come. It’s not about the short term. For example, if everyone only thinks about selling Pi whenever the price goes a little higher, of course, in that moment, you might feel happy. You buy and sell, buy and sell. But this kind of behavior will hurt the Pi Network. It makes the system unstable and prevents us from reaching true global value. Of course, if you have an emergency situation, it’s okay to sell — that’s understandable. But for the long term, we should know that holding Pi, building the ecosystem, and supporting each other will make the network stronger and the value more stable. 📷 That’s exactly why we will hold our Third Global Pioneer GCV Conference — to discuss how to protect our value, how to strengthen our community, and how to guide pioneers toward long-term success and stability. Actually, we already entered Open Mainnet on February 20, 2025. That means the GCV path has been confirmed — that’s why we are now officially in Open Mainnet. If you read the 2019 White Paper, it says when the ecosystem becomes mature, we move into Open Mainnet. But in reality, the Core Team opened Mainnet while the ecosystem was not yet fully mature. So, what does this mean? It means there are different stages of Open Mainnet. The transition on February 20, 2025, was a technical stage, a signal that we are entering the process — not that everything is finished. Why do we need different stages? Because many pioneers still face financial hardship and difficulties. Some thought Open Mainnet meant they could immediately earn money or cash out, but that’s a misunderstanding. Open Mainnet is not just about money — it’s about building a strong, mature, and sustainable ecosystem first. Only then can the value of Pi truly shine and benefit everyone. In 2024, at the Singapore event, many pioneers felt disappointed. But I want to say — that disappointment came from a lack of education, not failure. Many people didn’t understand the long-term vision of Pi or the meaning of Open Mainnet. That’s why we are holding the Third Global Pioneer GCV Conference in 2025. Pioneers, if you truly want to succeed faster, if you want GCV to succeed, if you want to achieve financial freedom, then you must first focus on education, unity, and right behavior. Every pioneer has power — the power to influence others with your example, your words, and your actions. Use that power to help others understand, so all of our behavior moves in the same direction — toward growth, trust, and long-term success. That’s Pi Network’s long-term vision. From today, I ask everyone to read my article carefully, understand it deeply, and help your community understand it too. Discuss together, encourage each other, and spread the news about our Third Global Pioneer GCV Conference. This conference is important and meaningful. I know we’re all busy — I’m busy with my work too — but even while working, we can support each other. Exchange ideas, share tasks, and grow together. Make yourself strong. When you are strong, money will chase you. I live in a luxury condo and I never worry about money because I am fast learner and I build up myself good work ability and skills so I have a lot of good business opportunity. So build up yourself is priority instead of demanding outside world. If each pioneer acts patiently, wisely, and united, we will achieve lasting success for ourselves and for the world. Please remember — share this video and conference information everywhere, every day. Small, steady actions from each of us will create big, lasting change. Thank you all. See you at the conference — bye-bye for now. Doris Yin 🪷🪷🪷

Meet Tove An autonomous 27 year old Swedish-German multidisciplinary artist based in Berlin. My goal with this project is to explore the full potential of AI tools and see how far I can get in my attempt to create a human-like artist from scratch. I kept the main focus on a theme I knew nothing about; performance art. I am hoping to eventually get Tove to look and sound so realistic that it would make it hard to detect she's not real. For this project, I had to learn some Python and Typescript to code her character file and create her aesthetic & art. I mostly used complex workflows in ComfyUI and trained my own Loras to maintain consistency. I experimented with various platforms and tools to animate her using the voice model I trained for her Swedish accent using an open-source software. That was one of the most challenging parts since none of the platforms I tested could create a good Swedish accent who speaks in English. Still can't pronounce her own name 100% correctly, but hey close enough lol I spent weeks analyzing real artists' social media behavior, posts, and content to mimic and replicate realistic patterns. This involved tweaking text, images, and engagement styles endlessly until it felt authentic. It's not 100% perfect but we are improving fast! Props to my devs for crushing my 10000 update requests and doing such an amazing job with adding a ton of new features to the Eliza framework. The vision for Tove is full autonomy: handling her own social media accounts, managing brand deals, answering emails, and even collaborating with other creatives. With upcoming updates, I'm hoping she'll behave just like any other artist. That said, I personally want to explore what I consider the true potential for agents : acting as a collaborator and colleague rather than being a fully autonomous entity who only works solo. I'll be communicating with her to share inspiration and give her feedback on her work. This is just the beginning—Tove is evolving every day. Future updates include: -Sharing curated news from various relevant websites -Autonomously creating and curating her own artwork -Minting her work as NFTs and collecting art from other creators -Hosting online events -Allowing holders to consult with her on specific topics we'll train her to become an expert at I created a website with fictional projects to make her look more legit, but I'm going to eventually replace them with real ones. You can find it here : We will be launching her IG soon as well, it won't be automated right away but we will be working on it shortly. (same handle) Full transparency, team bought 24% of the supply with the dev wallet and will be locking 20%. I will be figuring this out this weekend tho. I'm really proud of what my talented and hard working devs and I accomplished so far and look forward to further developments that will hopefully blow people's minds. 85qBGzyQZJnnoNVoUpGRTvemWfDHjQeXgHGyKoK3pump

Meet Tove An autonomous 27 year old Swedish-German multidisciplinary artist based in Berlin. My goal with this project is to explore the full potential of AI tools and see how far I can get in my attempt to create a human-like artist from scratch. I kept the main focus on a theme I knew nothing about; performance art. I am hoping to eventually get Tove to look and sound so realistic that it would make it hard to detect she's not real. For this project, I had to learn some Python and Typescript to code her character file and create her aesthetic & art. I mostly used complex workflows in ComfyUI and trained my own Loras to maintain consistency. I experimented with various platforms and tools to animate her using the voice model I trained for her Swedish accent using an open-source software. That was one of the most challenging parts since none of the platforms I tested could create a good Swedish accent who speaks in English. Still can't pronounce her own name 100% correctly, but hey close enough lol I spent weeks analyzing real artists' social media behavior, posts, and content to mimic and replicate realistic patterns. This involved tweaking text, images, and engagement styles endlessly until it felt authentic. It's not 100% perfect but we are improving fast!

Official Announcement: PDAO Airdrop Now LIVE! We are excited to announce that the PDAO airdrop is now officially open! You can now claim your $PDAO tokens and be part of a movement that’s here to disrupt the status quo of the Solana ecosystem! Airdrop: CA: Ds9FdU48nD34dgtfeSLtqvc5L9LoPig7cwb7kcxbmoon The Origin of PDAO: Born from the Struggles of Solana’s PVP PDAO was created as a direct response to the PVP (Player vs. Player) behavior that has plagued the Solana blockchain for far too long. These malicious actions, often driven by centralized forces who control the market, have led to unfair manipulation, exploitation, and widespread losses for the true community members. For years, these centralized platforms like Pumpfun have created artificial hype, draining resources from the community with their unjust practices, only to profit off the backs of honest users. The rise of these manipulative entities has created an urgent need for a decentralized solution. PDAO was born to challenge this monopoly and to create a fairer, transparent ecosystem where the community has control, not a centralized few. Why We Reject Pumpfun and Centralization？ At PDAO, we firmly reject the centralized, exploitative systems like Pumpfun that continue to poison the Solana ecosystem. Pumpfun has been nothing but a leech on the Solana blockchain, creating artificial hype, inflating token values, and enriching a few while leaving the majority of users in financial turmoil. This behavior is unsustainable, unfair, and ultimately damaging to the ecosystem we all love. We believe in a community-driven future, one where decentralization reigns supreme, and users control their own destinies. PDAO represents this vision, a movement towards true decentralization, transparency, and fair opportunity for all. PDAO Airdrop Targeting the Following Communities: PDAO is offering a generous airdrop to key communities that have been instrumental in the Solana ecosystem, as well as to those who have been hurt by centralized platforms like Pumpfun. The airdrop is available for the following active users: 1. Users active on Solana between 1/13 - 2/13 2. Solana Saga 2 phone holders 3. Pumpfun traders who’ve been impacted by manipulative practices 4.Moonpump zealy, galxe task users Solana community members who believe in decentralization and fair opportunities PDAO Tokenomics: Fair and Community-Centered The $PDAO token is not just another meme token; it’s a tool for empowerment. Our tokenomics are designed to ensure long-term sustainability and fair distribution, rewarding those who truly believe in our mission. Here’s the breakdown: 🔹 40% – Airdropped to 5 million active Solana addresses 🔹 20% – Staking Rewards (1-month lockup, 42 days linear release) 🔹 20% – Treasury Funds (3-month lockup, 90 days linear release) 🔹 20% – Liquidity Pools & Burns (Added to Raydium liquidity pool and burned) PDAO’s Vision for the Future: Building Solana’s True Future Our vision goes far beyond just distributing tokens. PDAO aims to build a new paradigm for the Solana blockchain—one based on community empowerment, fair distribution, and true decentralization. We will continue to focus on creating value for the users, not a small group of centralized players. We are committed to: Driving true decentralization in Solana’s ecosystem. Supporting a transparent, community-governed ecosystem where every member has a voice. Rewarding early supporters and active community members who help shape our ecosystem. Encouraging innovation in the Solana space by bringing together developers, creators, and entrepreneurs who believe in a decentralized future.

I’m seeing a lot of questions on the launch of China’s Chang’e 6 mission yesterday to get samples - for the first time - from the far side of the moon. We don’t know (afaik) why specifically they’re doing that, but we have a pretty good idea what grand vision China is working towards with their space program. How? From this 2022 video by Chas Freeman (former Assistant Secretary of Defense and Nixon's interpreter during his era-defining 1972 China visit), who imho is undoubtedly one of the most knowledgeable former US officials on China. He says that according to his own discussions with people running China’s space program, they’re following the vision described in the book "The high frontier" by Gerard K. O'Neill, which Freeman says has "become the bible of the Chinese space program". I read the book. So what vision does it describe? The book was written in 1976 by O'Neill who was a professor of physics at Princeton University. He also founded the Space Studies Institute, an organization devoted to funding research into space manufacturing and colonization. In other words, he knew his stuff. The book makes the very fair point that we have massive resource constraints on earth, especially given the growing population. He estimated in 1976 that we should be "about six and a half billion people in the year 2000", and we were 6.114 billion back then so he was pretty prescient. He estimates that these constraints will progressively give rise to more and more social tensions as the growing earth population competes for our limited resources as well as faces global problems like climate change. In his view, dealing with this will either require "an authoritarian regime capable of mounting the immense task of social reorganization needed to escape catastrophe" or, alternatively, “mankind would [need to adopt] a static society [that would be] forced in self-defense to suppress new ideas". The 3rd alternative is of course the colonization of space. The most interesting aspect of the book is that he claims everything he writes is feasible with knowledge and technology that already existed in the late 70s. In short he calls for the establishment of large human habitats in the Earth-Moon system, located at stable Lagrange points ("parking spots" in space where gravity from different spatial bodies cancel each other out). In particular he developed the concept of what's known today as the "O'Neill cylinder" which he says "could support quite easily a population of ten million people, growing its food in agricultural cylinders near but outside the main habitat". Energy-wise, it'd simply make use of solar energy via a system of mirrors. As he describes it: "the concentration of the unvarying, intense sunlight of space by very lightweight, inexpensive mirrors can provide all the energy that industry will ever need [...] at a fraction of a cent per kilowatt-hour". He envisages building these habitats with material from the moon, shot into space via "mass drivers", a form of electromagnetic catapult. Also "the habitats would have artificial gravity similar as that of earth by rotating about twenty-eight times an hour”, but he also envisages low-gravity areas, especially for recreational activities such as swimming pools or dancing representations. To trade with earth, he develops the idea of beaming solar power back to earth via "microwave from solar power stations in orbit". As he describes it "the microwave beam would arrive at Earth with a beam width of about seven kilometers. Its intensity would be modest, less than half that of sunlight. In contrast to sunlight, though, it would be there all the time, even at night or in clouds or rain, and it would be in a form ready for conversion to DC current with a loss of only 10 percent. The areas receiving these beams’ output on Earth would be fenced, and outside the fence the intensity of microwave radiation would be no higher than outside a microwave oven with the door closed. He estimates that if "Satellite Solar Power Stations (SSPS) were to become the sole source of electric energy in the United States in the year 2000, the land area necessary for the SSPS antennas would still be only 0.2 percent of that of the continental United States". In short, the establishment of space colonies could lead to the fulfillment of a good share of Earth's energy needs. Last but not least he describes life in space habitats as better than that of earth, largely thanks to the level of control we'd have over the environment (total climate control which would enable an abundance of food and no natural disaster) as well as unlimited cheap energy. To conclude, Chas Freeman typically really knows his stuff when it comes to China and he’s very intellectually honest (a rare trait among US officials) so I have no doubt he tells the truth when he says the Chinese told him that was the vision. And China famously thinks very big and very long term so it would be quite like them to go for something like this. There are also quite a few tangible signs that China is working towards that vision. See for instance this November 2022 news where “China’s space station will join a project to collect solar power from space and send it to Earth in a high-energy microwave beam”: That’s exactly O’Neill’s vision! Or check this October 2022 news that says China is developing new "electromagnetic sledges" that can propel a carriage weighing a few tonnes to a record speed, with a key application for this being “aerospace”: Remember: O’Neill’s vision is to build his habitats with material from the moon, shot into space via "mass drivers", a form of electromagnetic catapult. So there you go… Or also the fact that the Chinese will build, together with the Russians, a moon base - planned for 2028 - powered by a “space nuclear reactor” that’s already been developed (on Earth) and has passed review by China’s Ministry of Science: The space nuclear reactor can generate 1MW of electricity, enough to power 10 International Space Stations. Enough power, maybe, to undertake mining activity and power an electromagnetic catapult… After visions change, the world changes, so it’s also possible that China’s view on what they want to do has evolved. In any case, Chas Freeman is right that China’s motivation for all its initiatives in space can’t just be to “boldly explore where no-one has been before”, they have to be working towards something. And Freeman is also absolutely right to lament that the U.S. decided to ban any cooperation in space with the Chinese. Those endeavors are something that could have been jointly developed as a multilateral effort to unite us all as a species… Instead China is now forced to go at it alone with Russia and we face a future where our petty divisions on Earth will be carried with us to space…

Big congratulations to the Philippine community for the significant event that took place yesterday, March 2, 2025!👏👏👏👏 I truly believe that our Pi Network has been blessed by so many dedicated pioneers, merchants, and community leaders—our GCV Ambassadors! Without your sacrifices and commitment, we could not have reached this level. I am especially grateful to our Global GCV CT Executive Director and committee chair, Ms. Lumari, the Head of GCV Ambassadors, along with all the outstanding Philippine GCV warriors. Your extraordinary contribution of 1,429,652 GCV record on blockchain by December 18, 2024, played a critical role in advancing the GCV Movement! We can see these impressive beautiful numbers $314,159 everywhere, and this achievement has been acknowledged by our CT on the GitHub source code as part of the digital currency value and the stablecoin market price. We are now on the path to obtaining a U.S. Cryptocurrency Industry license from the SEC, and we are working hard toward that goal. I am truly impressed by the positive energy and unity of the Philippine community! You are a great example of our Global GCV community. The following is my speech on this wonderful dinner party conference! ------------- Dear Philippines community leaders, GCV Ambassadors, merchants, and pioneers, It is a profound honor to address you today at the Philippine Grand Global GCV Conference. We gather here as one thousand dedicated pioneers, united in our celebration of the achievements we've made within the Pi Network. I encourage all of you to enjoy the delicious food and take this opportunity to motivate and appreciate one another. The Philippine community exemplifies the spirit of global unity, collaboration, and growth. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Ms. Lumari for her gracious invitation, as well as to all the diligent organizers who have made this event possible. This conference stands as a tribute to our collective growth, unity, collaboration, and progress. I would also like to acknowledge our esteemed Global GCV Ambassadors: Ms. Nonny Padja, Mr. Joho, Mr. Patrick Chao, Mr. Jason Wong, and Spain GCV Ambassador Mr. Kerun LI and Africa GCV Ambassador Mr. Oliver NDatimana, who have generously offered their time to share their insights and support our mission for today's conference. The progress of the GCV movement in the Philippines has been truly commendable, reflecting the remarkable dedication and hard work that has resulted in the creation of over 1.5 million GCV data points. This accomplishment is a testament to your unity, vision, and unwavering commitment. Ms. Lumari’s perseverance and leadership have been instrumental in our success. Her emphasis on education and the development of the GCV ecosystem, coupled with her proactive mindset, serves as an inspiring model for the entire global community. I am also immensely grateful to Mr. Marlon Domantay, our distinguished Education GCV Ambassador; Mr. Anthony Nierra, our distinguished Ecosystem GCV Ambassador; and distinguished Ms. Lerma Ablan, our Merchant Coordinator Ambassador, along with all our outstanding Philippine GCV Ambassadors, leaders, and merchants for their hard work and invaluable contributions. Strong and effective leadership is essential for the success of any initiative, particularly within the Pi Network social practice. We have observed significant advancements in our ecosystem development and educational efforts, which are attributable to the exemplary leadership demonstrated by all our GCV Ambassadors. Our Open Network has passed on February 20th, 2025, we await the official announcement of Pi's value but we didn't see it. Currently, we see Pi priced at a few dollars in the exchange market. Many pioneers may have lost trust in CT and GCV due to misunderstandings about the Pi Network and our relationship to it. A clear understanding of Pi and Dr. Nicolas's vision will help us align our goals and behavior towards collective success. Recognizing the importance of unity will emphasize the key role of collaboration. We are in the first stage of OM, still tasked with many objectives yet to be completed. We need all pioneers to collaborate. After two and a half years, we've successfully created GCV for the blockchain ecosystem, coded on GitHub. Following the launch of the Open Network, with Pi now listed on the exchange market and regulated by the US SEC, it is crucial for pioneers to work together to stabilize Pi's price as a stable coin on exchange market. It's essential to ensure all lower-priced Pi is purchased by us to unify its market price to GCV. CT's goal is for Pi to function as a digital currency, but now we have no choice but to be listed on exchange market as a coin, so we must support buying and refrain from selling during this critical phase. WE need to make the Pi price lifted to GCV from our community and attract outside investors. Now we enter a pivotal moment: we must assist the exchange market in reaching GCV levels as soon as possible. We urge pioneers to refrain from selling below GCV and to prioritize buying Pi on verified exchanges. If we pull together, we can achieve GCV very fast. CT has outlined two essential functions for Pi: one as a stable coin in the exchange market and the other as a valued currency. Both GCV value and price are encoded on Gibthub and we must build strong confidence in this. Dear Philippine community leaders, merchants, and pioneers, let’s continue our collaboration with CT to ensure that the Pi Network is fully decentralized, implementing the GCV source code effectively. Through our combined efforts, we can establish Pi as a super-sovereign currency in the long term, forging a new era of cryptocurrency and prosperity for all. I wish today’s conference tremendous success and thank you for your tireless dedication and selfless contributions. Doris Yin🪷🪷🪷 Founder, Global GCV Movement March 2nd, 2025

From Creator to Founder: The Rollercoaster Journey of Building Chatter Social Man, what a journey it’s been so far. Four years ago, I was just another creator, spending late nights on Clubhouse during the height of the pandemic. Like so many others, I was searching for connection, for community, for something meaningful. But what I found there wasn’t just connection—it was purpose. Alongside my brother, Jonathan Bing, we built a nightly show that reached over 5 million people. Imagine that: 5 million lives touched by conversations that felt real and unfiltered, all on a platform that at its peak had 10 million monthly active users. Clubhouse was magic. But then the decline began. Watching the platform struggle, I couldn’t help but reflect: what made it great? What went wrong? And what could the future look like if we did things differently? The Spark of Chatter As a content creator, I understood the needs of both creators and users. I knew what excited people, what kept them engaged, and what made them leave. Clubhouse had tapped into something special, but it had missed the mark on scalability and sustainability. By September 2023, I couldn’t stop thinking about the potential for something new—something that brought back the magic of real-time interaction but made it scalable, engaging, and sticky. And so, I set out to build Chatter Social. But I wasn’t a tech founder. I didn’t have a background in software development or a network of Silicon Valley insiders. What I did have was determination and the belief that if I could bring the right people together, we could build something extraordinary. Building the Team The journey to build Chatter started with assembling a team. Through my network from my days on Clubhouse, I found Samir, my first CTO. He believed in the vision and was instrumental in getting the project off the ground. Shortly after, I connected with Tyler, our Head of Design, whose creativity brought life to our ideas. A developer joined us soon after, and we were off to the races. By the end of 2023, Samir had to step away due to other commitments, and we promoted the developer to CTO. At the same time, I brought on Banko, a Sony music executive, as our CMO. Banko’s connections led to one of our biggest early wins: landing Davido, a global superstar, as an owner-ambassador. To this day, I still marvel at the fact that Davido believed in our vision when all we had were Tyler’s Figma designs. From Dream to Reality Early 2024 was a whirlwind. We hired Yurii and Vasyl, two developers from Ukraine who brought incredible skill and dedication to the team. Vasyl, in particular, stood out as a leader and has since earned an equity position in the company. But despite these wins, we were facing growing pains. Our new CTO struggled to meet deadlines, and as a result, I found myself constantly pushing back the launch date. What started as a January release turned into February, then March, then April, then May. By then, people on Twitter Spaces—where I had been hyping up the platform—started doubting if we even had a product. Launch and Lessons June 1, 2024, marked a turning point. It was the day my son Noah was born and the day we launched Chatter in private beta. We started with just 40 users, but by the end of the month, we had grown to 1,000. The engagement was unbelievable. Users loved it, even though we had launched with just one feature: live rooms. This represented less than 20% of what we had planned, but it was enough to show that we were onto something big. In July, we launched our public beta on the App Store as an invite-only platform. Within 48 hours, Chatter ranked as a top 30 social app in over 30 countries. But our invite system throttled access, and most users couldn’t get in. While engagement metrics soared for those inside, our AWS costs exploded. In August, our AWS bill hit $10,000. By September, it had climbed to $15,000, and we were drowning in bugs and glitches. The breaking point came when our CTO became unresponsive, often disappearing during critical moments. Users were dropping off, frustrated by the issues, developers were confused and the team was also growing increasingly frustrated, I made the tough decision to let him go. A New Beginning Enter Horane, a long-time user of Chatter who had been with us since private beta. He was the first to discover some of the most innovative use cases for the platform and had a deep passion for its potential. After meeting him in person at a Chatter event, I knew he was the right person to step into the CTO role. When Horane took over, we discovered just how bad the situation was. Key areas of the codebase were locked, and there were no separate environments for development and production. Every fix seemed to break something else. But through sheer determination and countless 18-hour days, Horane stabilized the platform. Today, Chatter is far from perfect, but it’s stable. The bugs that plagued us have been reduced to moderate issues, and our core users—those who stuck with us through the chaos—are still engaged on the platform. Looking Ahead: Chatter V2 While the platform is stable now, we’ve shifted our focus to Chatter V2. This is where the magic really begins. V2 isn’t just an improvement; it’s a complete reimagining of the platform. It includes all the features we couldn’t release in V1 because we were too busy putting out fires. Imagine this: Chatter V1, with only one live feature, was incredibly sticky. Now think about what happens when we release a fully loaded platform with all the innovative features we’ve been working on behind the scenes. The possibilities are endless. V2 is slated to hit TestFlight by the end of December, with a public release in January 2025. And this time, we’re ready—not just with the product but with the lessons we’ve learned. The Hard Lessons This journey has taught me more than I ever thought possible: 1) Your Team is Everything: The right people can make or break your vision. Finding people who believe in your mission is just as important as finding people with the right skills. 2) Adaptability is Key: As a non-technical founder, I had to learn about development, DevOps, and product management on the fly. Challenges will push you to grow, whether you’re ready or not. 3) Trust the Process: Every setback, every delay, every bug—it all taught us something. Without those lessons, we wouldn’t be building the incredible V2 product we are today. 4) Resilience is Non-Negotiable: From technical disasters to predatory investors who tried to exploit my desperation, I’ve had to fight for this vision every step of the way. What’s Next December is shaping up to be an exciting month. We have some amazing events planned on the platform to close out the year, bringing our core community together as we prepare for the V2 launch. When V2 drops, it will mark a new era for Chatter. This isn’t just a social audio platform or a social audiovisual platform. Chatter is all about interactive experiences—making social media social again in ways that are truly unique. The public launch is slated for February 2025, and for the first time, we’ll have the marketing dollars to tell the world about Chatter. Our core community has been our biggest cheerleaders, and I can’t wait to see how the world reacts when they experience what we’ve built. Final Thoughts This has been the hardest year of my life, but also the most rewarding. To other founders, or anyone thinking about starting a company: know this—it will test you in ways you can’t imagine. You’ll face betrayal, doubt, and moments where you feel like giving up. But if you believe in your vision and refuse to quit, you’ll find a way forward. Thank you to everyone who has supported me, my team, and Chatter. We’re just getting started. Let’s talk about it. 🚀 If this story inspired you, please like and share it so others can learn from my experiences. The journey is far from over, but I’m more excited than ever for what’s to come.
