How negligence in platform systems is crushing hosts and eroding the trust that keeps Bigo alive Bigo likes to present itself as a global stage where hosts can shine, connect, and earn. But behind the glitz of livestreams lies a rot that’s eating away at the very people who power the app: its hosts. AtContinue reading “Bigo’s Illegal Beans Problem: A Crisis of Trust and Host Survival”

The Crebs Park article “Breaking the Cycle: How Technology Can Finally Crack Philippine Corruption” painted a bold vision of how transparency, smart contracts, and tamper-proof ledgers could dismantle entrenched graft. But a vision needs builders. In the Philippines, several organizations and government-aligned initiatives are already stepping up to turn blockchain’s potential into practice. Blockchain CouncilContinue reading “Lighting the Way: Philippine Organizations Using Blockchain to Fight Corruption”

The Problem Everyone Knows From padded contracts to ghost projects, corruption in the Philippines has been described as “systemic” for decades. It erodes trust, drains resources, and stalls progress. Politicians come and go, investigations are launched, but the cycle keeps repeating. What if the real solution isn’t another committee or another headline – but technologyContinue reading “Breaking the Cycle: How Technology Can Finally Crack Philippine Corruption”

Injective has launched the world’s first onchain market for NVIDIA H100 GPU rental rates, allowing traders to speculate on and hedge the cost of AI compute. Powered by Squaretower’s decentralized oracle, the market provides hourly price feeds from top providers, turning GPUContinue reading “Injective Turns NVIDIA H100 GPUs Into Onchain Trading Assets”

Craft narratives that captivate, data that convinces, and strategies that close. Despite Web3’s growing legitimacy, fundraising remains difficult as investors, launchpads, and communities demand sharp, narrative-driven pitches backed by evidence, not hype. Developer-led teams must simplify complex ideas into compelling stories that explain the problem, audience, and why they’re best suited to solve it. TailoringContinue reading “How Web3 Startups Can Win Pitches That Actually Land Funding”

A bold bet on agent-native platforms sparks debate over the future of SaaS, work, and innovation. Microsoft’s Charles Lamanna predicts traditional business software will be obsolete by 2030, replaced by AI “agent-native” platforms that chat, adapt, and manage data without rigid apps. He argues current enterprise tools are relics, soon buried under conversational layers whereContinue reading “Microsoft Declares Business Software Dead: AI Agents Rising”

Pasadena startup turns graphic processing units into high-yield digital assets for investors Pasadena-based Compute Labs is capitalizing on the AI boom by offering tokenized GPU investments. By purchasing GPUs and leasing them to data centers, the startup converts capital expenditures into operating expenses while paying investors through tradeable digital tokens. After raising $3 million inContinue reading “How Tokenized GPUs Are Revolutionizing AI Data Centers”

Funding incentives are forcing brilliant AI projects into inefficient blockchain frameworks—at the cost of real innovation. The Web3 AI sector is conflating “decentralized AI” with “blockchain AI,” forcing projects to integrate blockchain purely to access funding, networks, and communities—often at the expense of efficiency, cost, and performance. True decentralized AI can thrive through distributed computing,Continue reading “How Blockchain Is Strangling Decentralized AI’s Future”

A radical leap in compute transparency is reshaping global AI infrastructure—and it’s free to use. Compute Exchange has launched the world’s first GPU Pricing Intelligence Calculator (PIC), a groundbreaking tool that provides real-time, historical, and forecasted GPU pricing data across global markets. The tool enhances transparency in AI infrastructure procurement, allowing users to compare hardware,Continue reading “Secrets of GPU Pricing: First-Ever AI Market Calculator Unleashed”

Get serious compute without draining your wallet — here are the lowest-cost GPU cloud providers this year. 💡 Introduction If you’re building AI models, training LLMs, running diffusion tools, or just tinkering with fine-tuning, one thing becomes clear fast: compute isn’t cheap. But it doesn’t have to be overpriced either. There’s a growing wave ofContinue reading “Top 10 Cheapest GPU Providers for AI Projects in 2025”

A quiet shift in the PC chip hierarchy could sideline GPUs — and AMD is poised to strike. AMD is exploring the development of a discrete neural processing unit (NPU) for PCs as an energy-efficient alternative to standalone GPUs, with executive Rahul Tikoo confirming ongoing discussions with OEMs and customers. While details remain under NDA,Continue reading “AMD Eyes Discrete NPU Revolution to Rival GPUs”

Europe’s frozen north is heating up with AI arms race energy. OpenAI is partnering with Nscale and Aker ASA to build a massive 100,000-GPU compute cluster in Kvandal, Norway by 2026, as part of its Stargate initiative. The Arctic-based facility will start with a $1 billion, 20-megawatt deployment — powered by local hydroelectric energy andContinue reading “Inside OpenAI’s Arctic Supercluster: 100,000 GPUs by 2026”
