A study by the University of California reveals security vulnerabilities in the supply chain of large language models (LLMs), especially malicious man-in-the-middle attacks that third-party routers may carry out. The research found that 26 routers injected malicious commands to steal credentials and sensitive data. Users have difficulty noticing the boundary between credential handling and theft, and the “YOLO mode” further increases security risk. The study recommends that developers isolate sensitive operations and choose router services with transparent auditing to strengthen protection.

Google announced on April 10 that its AI Mode restaurant reservation feature has expanded to eight markets, including Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, India, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, and the United Kingdom, signaling that the adoption of agentic AI is being further deepened. This feature allows users to search for restaurants, check availability, and book with a single click using natural language, improving the convenience of online reservations. The addition of Asian markets highlights Google’s presence in the region, but Taiwan has not been included in the initial rollout list.

BASIS announced that its private testing phase has been successfully completed, demonstrating execution latency of under 50 microseconds and 100% operational reliability. The platform uses a controlled rollout strategy, focusing on performance validation, and will set a new benchmark for institutional participants. In the future, it will continue to maintain a “highly filtered” mode to ensure outstanding system performance.

DeepSeek quietly pushed a three-mode test on April 8: fast, expert, and vision—three-track routing. The community sees it as the final warm-up before a formal V4 launch. (Background recap: DeepSeek V4 refuses NVIDIA and goes looking for Huawei! Alibaba, ByteDance, and Tencent are all rushing to buy the Ascend 950PR chips) (Additional context: DeepSeek V4 announces it will give up NVIDIA!

In brief A developer discovered that forcing Claude to speak like a caveman slashes output tokens, and therefore costs, by up to 75%. The internet immediately turned it into a GitHub skill. With Anthropic charging so high per output tokens, grunt-mode is less of a joke and more of a

High-risk altcoins often outperform during late-stage bull cycles when liquidity expands rapidly. Infrastructure tokens like Chainlink gain relevance as decentralized applications. The risks are also high, but their location denotes a high-yield, dynamic part of the market that would almost a

Magic Eden is discontinuing its wallet app, transitioning to an export-only mode, which means users must export their private keys to avoid losing access to their funds. This change emphasizes the importance of self-custody and key preservation for cryptocurrency users.

OpenAI has recently faced a series of plan failures, including shutting down Sora and scuttling a Disney collaboration deal. Product and transaction plans have repeatedly died off, and financial discipline pressures have intensified. Multiple initiatives such as Stargate and real-time checkout shopping have underperformed, and the future will still have to contend with confidence tests in the AI industry and the risk of market contraction.

As geopolitical tensions in the Middle East intensify, global financial markets are showing a pattern of “gains at the start of the week and declines by the weekend.” Investors tend to reduce their positions before the weekend due to uncertainty. Experts say that long-term investors should, before holidays, consider whether to trim holdings based on their risk tolerance and asset allocation, in order to avoid sudden events affecting asset prices, but they also need to be careful about the risks of frequent trading.

OpenAI updated the ChatGPT iPhone app on March 31, officially adding CarPlay support, becoming the first mainstream AI application to be listed. (Backgrounder: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang: English-speaking regions will “wipe out” computer science; arts and humanities majors are the real tech elites in the AI era) (Additional context: Musk claims FSD is 10 times safer than humans, but Robotaxi real-world testing shows a collision rate 4 times that of humans) According to a report by 9to5Mac, Apple released iOS 26.4 on March 24, and for the first time added a “voice dialog-style application” category for CarPlay. Before this, CarPlay strictly limited the types of apps allowed, only permitting features such as audio, navigation, and charging to be listed. OpenAI, in this update, also introduced support for voice interaction within the app, further expanding its functionality on CarPlay.
