According to Mars Finance, Alibaba Cloud announced the launch of the Night Plan for Meoo: From 22:00 to 08:00 (Beijing time) each night, users who initiate dialogues using a specified model on the web interface will be automatically charged at off-peak rates. Qwen 3.7-Max nighttime discounts are as low as 20% off, and Qwen 3.7-Plus nighttime discounts are as low as 40% off. Users do not need to change settings; simply log in during off-peak hours to build applications and automatically enjoy the discount. The discount only affects the price; model service quality and response speed are unaffected. Usage Notes: This is only available to Pro/Max paid plan users; Free plan users and users who have only purchased points are not currently supported. Coverage is limited to web interface dialogue building; Meoo CLI and AI service calls are not included in the discount. Requests outside of off-peak hours and other models will still be charged at the standard rate. (Cailian Press)
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.

THENA announced its 2.0 roadmap, planning to issue approximately 32.61 million new tokens to expand its treasury.
PANews reported on July 1st that THENA, the decentralized liquidity platform for the BNB ecosystem, announced its 2.0 roadmap. The plan includes issuing approximately 10% of the original maximum supply of THE tokens (about 32.61 million tokens), minted in two 5% batches and injected into the multi-signature treasury to support the long-term development and expansion of the ecosystem. The development path of THENA 2.0 focuses on rebuilding core liquidity and trading activity, improving mobile and consumer-grade trading experiences, building a unified financial ecosystem entry point, and prioritizing the development of tokenized real-world assets (RWA) liquidity, as well as expanding spot and perpetual trading market capabilities. This roadmap is subject to approval through the governance mechanism (veTHE voting) before it can be implemented.
Lighter Token Economics Update: All future buybacks of LIT will be permanently burned to reduce the total supply.
PANews reported on July 1st that the Lighter protocol released a token economics update, announcing that all future LIT buybacks will be permanently burned to reduce the total LIT supply. The first burn will be implemented within weeks after the end of Q2. Since TGE, the protocol has used exchange revenue to programmatically buy back approximately 15.5 million LIT, representing about 6.3% of the circulating supply. Regarding staking, previously, staking rewards were supported by pre-TGE revenue; effective immediately, this will be supported by remaining ecosystem tokens. The target staking yield is 6% annualized, which, based on the current approximately 125 million LIT staked, will allocate approximately 7.5 million LIT annually from the remaining 250 million LIT. The protocol stated that future treasury management will balance four priorities: rewarding long-term stakers, continuously reducing supply through burning, reserving tokens for partnerships and growth initiatives, and maximizing long-term value for token holders.
U.S. Representative Maxine Waters has called for the withdrawal of a proposal that would allow 401(k) holders to invest in digital assets.
PANews reported on June 27th that, according to Coindesk, U.S. House Democratic Representative Maxine Waters submitted an 11-page comment to the U.S. Department of Labor, requesting the withdrawal of a proposal that would allow 401(k) retirement plans to invest in alternative assets, including private equity, private credit, real estate, commodities, and digital assets. Waters stated, "The Department of Labor's endorsement of digital assets as suitable for the retirement savings of ordinary Americans is contradictory, while the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is still building investor protection mechanisms designed to ensure the safety of ordinary investors investing in these assets. The risk is not limited to the volatility of individual tokens (although volatility is indeed high), but reflects a general deterioration in the entire digital asset ecosystem, with a significant decline in trading activity, developer engagement, and user engagement."
