Palantir CEO: Enterprises are dissatisfied with "cutting-edge labs" like OpenAI and Anthropic, which only pursue token maximization.
According to BlockBeats, on July 2nd, Palantir CEO Alex Karp, in an interview with CNBC's "Squawk Box," strongly criticized leading AI model companies, calling the way AI is sold "completely wrong." Karp emphasized that companies are already dissatisfied with "cutting-edge labs" like OpenAI and Anthropic, believing they only pursue token maximization, wasting companies' time and money while handing over proprietary value and IP. Karp stated that companies are "angry" and will commit to owning their own AI production resources rather than relying on third parties. On June 29th, Palantir partnered with Nvidia to deploy Nvidia Nemotron open AI models in sovereign environments, primarily serving the US government and critical infrastructure customers. The collaborative system reportedly integrates Nvidia AI technology with Palantir's AIP, Foundry, Ontology, and Apollo platforms, helping organizations train, customize, and deploy AI locally while maintaining complete control over data, intellectual property, and models.
Arthur Hayes takes CEO role at Flop Labs ahead of Q4 airdrop
Hayes revealed his new role as Flop Labs CEO and teased a “massive airdrop” from the AI inference protocol in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Cosmos Labs Co-CEO: dYdX's shift to RWA is a rational choice with limited impact on ATOM.
According to Foresight News , Cosmos Labs co-CEO Barry Plunkett tweeted his comments on dYdX's partnership with Robinhood to launch Arcus. dYdX has proven it can run seriously on-chain and drive industry development, but in recent years has faced pressure from new-generation perpetual contract competitors like Hyperliquid and Lighter, the overall decline of DeFi, and Web 2.5 products like Kalshi. He sees dYdX's shift to RWA through its partnership with Robinhood, which has strong distribution capabilities, as a "rational choice." He believes the impact on ATOM is very limited. The dYdX Chain remains a sovereign chain, and its fees, security, and value accumulation contribute very little to ATOM. The ATOM community also did not pay for the migration of dYdX to Cosmos. This further confirms the Cosmos team's assessment: for teams with distribution capabilities and leading products, having an underlying platform is crucial. Cosmos is currently focused on building tokenized deposit solutions for banks.
Palantir CEO Alex Karp vehemently criticizes the large-scale token fee model.
On July 1st, Palantir CEO Alex Karp stated during an appearance on CNBC's "Squawk Box" that the current general attitude towards AI in the business world is one of resistance—buying a bunch of tokens without getting any real value, and instead handing over their intellectual property and data. He criticized the business model of large model vendors charging based on tokens: since tokens are so valuable, why don't they share the profits, instead of charging based on usage?
Category Labs launches Cadence, a new consensus protocol designed to alleviate the MEV problem at the protocol level.
Foresight News reports that Category Labs (formerly Monad Labs) has announced the launch of Cadence, a new consensus protocol that employs a Multiple Concurrent Proposer (MCP) mechanism. This mechanism supports multiple block proposers participating concurrently in consensus, achieving extremely short block intervals without sacrificing latency. Test data shows that, based on a simulated network of 200 global nodes, the average final confirmation time is 219 milliseconds, and the average speculative confirmation time is 167 milliseconds. The team stated that, combined with the cryptographic memory pool design BTX, Cadence represents a significant step towards solving the MEV problem at the protocol layer.
The narrative of AI "stealing jobs" is cooling down, and tech giant CEOs are collectively turning optimistic.
According to BlockBeats, on July 6th, executives from several tech companies recently adjusted their statements regarding the impact of AI on employment, shifting from emphasizing that "AI will massively replace jobs" to believing that AI is more about improving productivity and creating new jobs. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated that the industry previously underestimated the role of humans in AI systems; Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said that AI could either drive layoffs or help companies accomplish more without increasing staff, the outcome depending on management decisions. A recent survey by EY-Parthenon shows that the proportion of executives who believe AI investment will lead to large-scale layoffs has decreased from 46% in January 2025 to 20% in May 2026. A joint study by Ramp and Revelio Labs shows that companies investing heavily in AI are experiencing approximately 10% higher employee growth rates than their counterparts that haven't invested in AI. Despite Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon CEO Andy Jassy both stating that AI has the potential to create more jobs, both companies have continued to streamline their organizations this year, raising questions about the corporate AI narrative. A survey by technology consulting firm Emergn shows that approximately 20% of US business managers report that internal AI project reports exaggerate achievements and downplay problems. Industry insiders believe that the commercialization of AI is slower than market expectations, and the application effects vary significantly across different industries and scenarios. --------------------------------- Click the original link below to join Beating's AI news channel on Feishu, monitoring global AI hotspots and news 24/7.
