More →Anthropic Gives 5% of Itself to the Public. Musk Answers by Giving Away SpaceX Shares
Anthropic, the company behind the Claude chatbot, <a href="https://www.anthropic.com/news/public-benefit-fund" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS">>said</a> Sunday it will commit 5% of its shares to a new Public Benefit Fund. On Monday, Elon Musk answered by promising one SpaceX share to every child in the United States next year. “The Anthropic Public Benefit Fund will have increased flexibility and scale, enabling us to pursue our mission in new ways: for example, we might explore large donations to traditional nonprofits or direct distributions to specific populations,” Anthropic said. The company has already committed $200 million to studying that. Americans are uneasy about how fast AI is moving: an AP-NORC poll in late September found that 64% of U.S. adults say the technology is developing too fast, and 8% say too slow. Anthropic is preparing an IPO, meaning it would sell its shares to the public on the stock market, as soon as November at a reported valuation of around $2 trillion. At that price, 5% of the company would be worth about $100 billion on paper, though that is the value of the shares, not cash sitting in an account. The fund is set up as a wholly owned LLC rather than a nonprofit, which Anthropic says gives it room to switch between types of giving. The board can add another 2% of shares each time the company's value rises 50% above a baseline that has not been disclosed, and none of the fund's equity can be used for lobbying or political donations. The co-founders' pledge to donate 80% of their equity and a matching program for employee donations, and Anthropic says roughly 20% of its shares will be dedicated to the public good. The company has not said how the fund will be taxed or what it will disclose publicly, as a traditional charity must. Musk, never one to leave the spotlight to someone else, <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/2112093799694372952?s=20" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS">>pushed</a> for Universal High Income (as opposed to Universal Basic Income) writing on X that he will give one of his SpaceX shares to every kid in America. "This will be the first of many," he added. His first reply to Anthropic, recommending "giving the shares directly to the public" instead of routing them through a fund, came Sunday night, and the pledge for kids followed early Monday, less than a day after Anthropic's announcement. Next year, I will give one of my SpaceX shares to every kid in America. This will be the first of many. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/2112089556615123114?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" data-wpel-link="external" rel="nofollow external noopener" target="_blank">October 19, 2026</a> With roughly 72 million children in the country, the pledge comes to about $10.5 billion at SpaceX's price of roughly $147 a share. That is just over 1% of the 6.42 billion shares Musk held as of June 30, p
Zachxbt: 87% of the inflows to the centralized money-laundering service FreedomXMR are linked to illicit activity.
According to CoinWorld news, on-chain detective Zachxbt stated that FreedomXMR (FXMR), a centralized money laundering service that appeared on Hyperliquid Core in August 2026, has more than 87% of its fund inflows directly linked to illegal activities. Zachxbt traced historical individual fund inflows exceeding $10,000 and found that over $20 million was connected to incidents such as ransomware, hacking attacks, and social engineering attacks, involving projects including Dcent Wallet, Fetch AI, Axelar, and Gamdom. The investigation also found that the FXMR administrator obtained XMR liquidity through KuCoin, and the related addresses made more than 3,000 deposits to that exchange. Zachxbt has submitted the relevant on-chain data to the Hyperliquid team.
Anthropic has been reported to be preparing a Claude that better understands user intent, which may be Fable.
Coin World news: Anthropic is preparing to launch a new model aimed at better understanding users' true intentions. According to a report by The Information, a trial user said that the new model's reasoning ability and performance in judging user needs surpass the existing Claude. The model is able to identify common issues when a user asks to fix a bug and ask whether they should be fixed as well. In addition, the new model is believed to be able to propose unconventional solutions. For example, when a user consults about stock investment, it may design a prediction algorithm rather than merely repeating common analysis methods such as the price-to-earnings ratio. The community speculates that the model may be Claude Fable 5.5. On October 13, Litellm once synced `claude-fable-5-5` from the Azure model catalog, but deleted it the next day. Meanwhile, Google is testing Gemini 4 Carbon, and employees believe its programming capability is close to Claude Opus 5.5. OpenAI is also preparing a new version of Terra, expected to be launched in the coming weeks, with further improved capabilities and a price lower than GPT-6.1.

Hyperliquid Policy Center submits comment letter to CFTC, calling for the launch of AI compute derivatives.
Hyperliquid Policy Center (HPC) has submitted a comment letter to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), calling for U.S.-regulated exchanges to be allowed to launch perpetual contracts and traditional futures contracts based on AI computing power, covering GPU compute leasing duration (GPU-hours) and AI inference tokens, among others. HPC argues that AI computing power prices are highly volatile, and that data center operators, AI developers, and lenders need derivatives to manage price risk, while perpetual contracts can provide a continuous hedging tool that does not require periodic rollover. HPC also recommends that the CFTC establish reliable computing power price index standards, allow settlement based on different reference indices, and prevent manipulation risks through market surveillance and position limits. The CFTC solicited public comments in August of this year on the listing of computing power derivatives, and has not yet approved any related products.
