OpenAI’s new device is a data capture tool, because we’ve reached Peak Token

Much has been made of the recent announcement of the collaboration between OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman and Apple design guru Jony Ive on a new hardware device (Jess Weatherbed, The Verge), and speculation has followed on the form it might take (Ryan Morrison, Tom’s Hardware).

Less has been written, however, about the market niche such a device serves.

Surely we don’t need another AI hardware device to speak into, given the failures of the Rabbit R1 and the Humane AI Pin? The market […]

Claude Code의 토큰 소모가 평소보다 빨랐던 이유가, 어제(27일)로 끝난 토큰 2배 캠페인 때문이었다는 내용이다. 100달러짜리 Max 플랜은 사용 한도에 금방 도달할 수 있어 체감상 더 빨리 소진된다고 언급한다.

Claude Codeのトークン消費が今日早いなと思っていたら、２倍キャンペーンの期間が、昨日（27日）で終わってた。100ドルのMaxプランだと、すぐ上限に達してしまう……。

"Los hijos de Donald #Trump, Eric y Donald Jr., tienen una empresa que se dedica a tokenizar propiedades inmobiliarias y con la que están haciendo una fortuna. También porque disponen del dinero de los inversores gracias a las influencias familiares."

“Billones de dólares se están desplazando desde las estrategias pasivas hacia los mercados privados, los activos alternativos, los activos tokenizados y los corredores comerciales de reciente apertura”, destaca la organización de FII. El capital fluye con fuerza a través de fronteras, industrias y tecnologías, sostiene la plataforma sustentada por el Gobierno saudí, que también la emplea como lavado de imagen tras las acusaciones sobre vulneraciones de derechos humanos en el reino. "

Por los pasillos del Hotel Faena y el Forum Faena, la instalación para congresos que el complejo tiene en Miami Beach, también ha circulado #JaredKushner, el yerno de Trump y negociador en las guerras de #Gaza y #Ucrania, que explicó que su modelo de negociación para lograr la paz es parecido a cerrar un negocio empresarial.

Move out of the way NYSE, Nasdaq is approved by the SEC to enable participants to opt-in to settle trades of blockchain-based versions of stocks, like traditional shares.

This is an initial pilot/test program with the Depository Trust Company (DTC), which will handle clearing and settlement of tokenized trades. https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2026/03/18/sec-approves-nasdaq-s-move-to-allow-tokenized-securities-trading #Nasdaq #SEC #DigitalAssets #Tokens #BlockChain #Crypto #Investing #Stocks #StockTrading #StockMarkets #DTC #Tokenization #Securities

China has officially designated 'ciyuan' as the standard translation for 'token' – the computational units powering AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini. The term combines 'ci' (word) and 'yuan' (currency), reflecting Beijing's vision of tokens as a new form of global currency for the AI era. The National Data Administration announced the term at the 2026 China Development Forum, framing ciyuan as a 'settlement unit' linking technological supply with commercial demand. https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3347887/china-names-trillions-ai-token-after-yuan-should-us-worry-dollar #China #Tech #AI #Tokens
China names AI tokens after the yuan. Should US worry for the dollar?

China has officially designated ciyuan as the translation for ‘token’, giving strong economic overtones to what has been a tech term.
