Rising costs raise questions over big model-centric AI landscape
As corporate spending on AI rises rapidly, the big model-centric structure of the AI industry is showing signs of change. Developers have kept inference costs relatively low using invested funds, allowing companies to use advanced models below cost. With AI adoption spreading, more companies say costs are becoming a burden. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong forecast most work will shift to much cheaper models, a shift that could affect profitability at major AI firms.

DeepSeek V4 could reshape Ethereum privacy as Vitalik Buterin mentions it directly
Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin (비탈릭 부테린) has pointed to Chinese AI model DeepSeek V4 as a key technology for strengthening privacy on Ethereum. He said security and privacy are hard to guarantee under centralised AI structures as AI increasingly handles crypto wallets and blockchain interactions. Buterin described combining local AI models with an Ethereum access layer and zero-knowledge proofs to reduce exposure of metadata, IP addresses and wallet balances.
