He was hit over the head, suffering a substantial injury that required hospital treatment. Three men who broke into a man's home in Bristol and threatened him in a failed attempt to steal cryptocurrency have been jailed. Terroll Paul, 31, Mohamed Samagassi, 37, and Pierre Madzou, 30, were sentenced yesterday (15 October).<a href="https://t.co/gQf1FuZiY6" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://t.co/gQf1FuZiY6</a> — Avon and Somerset Police (@ASPolice) <a href="https://x.com/ASPolice/status/2111134358107033995?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" data-wpel-link="external" rel="nofollow external noopener" target="_blank">October 16, 2026</a> The victim's teenage sister alerted police, and all three men were arrested at the scene. They pleaded guilty to aggravated burglary in August, and were sentenced at Bristol Crown Court on Thursday. Paul, of Barking in London, received six years in prison, Madzou, also of Barking, five and a half years, and Samagassi, of no fixed address, five years. The victim's sister showed "extreme bravery," said PC Gemma Childs, the investigating officer, adding that her actions led directly to "the apprehension of the offenders and preventing her brother from further harm." In a statement read in court, the victim said the break-in had changed him. "Before, I was bubbly, talkative and outgoing but now I would describe myself as tense and apprehensive," he said. The police did not say how much cryptocurrency the men demanded. The case is the latest in a run of so-called "wrench attacks" in the UK, in which criminals target crypto holders in person. In February, three teenagers were <a href="https://decrypt.co/357058/uk-teens-jailed-after-4-3m-wrench-attack-robbery-caught-on-police-video" target="_blank" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS" rel="nofollow">jailed</a> over a $4.3 million wrench attack robbery caught on police video in London, while last month a $10,000 reward was <a href="https://decrypt.co/379186/10k-reward-offered-after-uk-couple-attacked-in-crypto-home-invasion" target="_blank" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS" rel="nofollow">offered</a> after a West Midlands couple was attacked in a crypto home invasion.

TokenMaxxing: How to Get the Most Out of Your AI Models
<span class="">By <span><span class="underline"><a class="text-text-sub-600 gg-dark:text-gray-100 font-semibold" href="/author/jose" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jose Antonio Lanz</a></span></span></span> <span class="">Edited by <span><span class="underline"><a class="text-text-sub-600 gg-dark:text-gray-100 font-semibold " href="/author/guillermo" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Guillermo Jimenez</a></span></span></span> <span class="whitespace-nowrap">Oct 17, 2026Oct 17, 2026</span> Meta employees burned through 60 trillion AI tokens in 30 days earlier this year, chasing spots on an internal leaderboard nicknamed "Claudeonomics." Tech columnist Gergely Orosz <a href="https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/the-pulse-tokenmaxxing-as-a-weird-new-trend/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS">>estimated the tab</a> at roughly $900 million at Anthropic's list prices, though Meta likely pays far less. Bain & Company consultant Jue Wang sees a quieter version of that waste everywhere: "So many companies, so many users, default to using Opus for everything, including generating emails," she <a href="https://wtop.com/news/2026/07/a-flex-in-corporate-america-ai-tokenmaxxing-fades-as-workplaces-look-to-cut-tech-spending/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS">>told the Associated Press</a> this summer, referring to Anthropic's high-end models. If you do the same thing, you're hiring Albert Einstein to calculate your change at a MacDonald’s.

On a $20 subscription that meter decides how fast you hit your usage limit. On the API, the pay-per-token access developers use to plug models into their own apps, it decides the bill. Here's Anthropic's current <a href="https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/pricing" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS">>price list</a>, per million tokens: Haiku's rate applies to prompts under 100,000 tokens; longer prompts cost five times as much.

Saylor: Bitcoin-backed stablecoins can offer 7% yield
Biji Network data: Strategy founder Michael Saylor proposed a "Bitcoin-backed stablecoin" concept that would pay 7% yield and maintain a stable dollar value. He stated that such a product would represent the "next step" after Bitcoin and digital credit, and would become part of "digital currency," offering yield and stability. In an interview with Binance, Saylor mentioned: imagine a stablecoin that pays 7%. He also pointed out that dollar-backed stablecoins typically offer only low yields, whereas Bitcoin-backed stablecoins could leverage Bitcoin's yield potential. Saylor emphasized that Bitcoin could generate more than 38% annual yield over the next five years, and mentioned that Bitcoin-backed stablecoins could offer yields of 10% to 12%.

Cantor Fitzgerald maintains an "Overweight" rating on CoreWeave, saying the capital payback period for newly signed contracts has been shortened by nearly half.
Cantor Fitzgerald maintains an "Overweight" rating and a $176 price target on CoreWeave, believing that the recent sharp decline in the stock price is an overreaction by the market, that demand for AI computing power remains strong, that customers continue to seek computing resources, and that market supply remains tight. The institution noted that the economics of CoreWeave's currently signed contracts are significantly better than those from two years ago or even earlier this year, and that the capital expenditure payback period has been shortened by nearly half, which is expected to improve the company's credit profile and financing capacity. Although CoreWeave's stock price has fallen 23.5% over the past week to $61.39, and the yield to maturity on its debt has risen to 15%, triggering market concerns about financing costs, Cantor Fitzgerald believes that improved contract profitability will help alleviate the related pressure. The company's revenue grew 115% year-over-year over the past 12 months, and it recently announced a partnership with AdaniConneX to plan an additional 240 megawatts of data center capacity in Navi Mumbai, India.
