Michael Saylor stated that quantum computing will not destroy the Bitcoin network; instead, it will drive it to achieve a "quantum leap." He pointed out that Bitcoin can introduce quantum-resistant security mechanisms through network upgrades, with active Bitcoins migrating to the new security system, while Bitcoins with lost private keys will be permanently frozen. As a result, the overall security of Bitcoin will be enhanced, the actual circulating supply will further decrease, and in the long term, this will help strengthen the value foundation of Bitcoin.

according to the AXIOS website, OpenAI has revealed for the first time that GPT-5 has demonstrated the ability to assist scientific research in real laboratory environments, meaning that artificial intelligence is expected to play a more central role in scientific experiments. Although AI has made rapid progress in fields such as mathematics and physics, major breakthroughs in biology have been relatively slow because biology relies heavily on real-world laboratory work, not just computational simulations. OpenAI has partnered with biosafety startup Red Queen Bio to build a testing framework to evaluate AI models' performance in laboratories. The laboratories involve "wet" operations such as liquids, chemicals, and biological samples, to distinguish them from "dry" labs that focus mainly on data analysis. In the experiments, GPT-5 proposed improvements to the molecular cloning experimental process; after human scientists executed them, the results were fed back to GPT-5, which iteratively optimized the plan based on the feedback. The experimental results showed that GPT-5 improved the efficiency of a standard molecular cloning process by 79 times.

White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles made a series of frank and sometimes critical remarks about President Trump's inner circle in an interview with Vanity Fair, including calling Musk an "openly self-admitted" "ketamine user." She also referred to Vice President Pence as a "conspiracy theorist," the Director of the Office of Management and Budget Vought as an "extreme right-wing fanatic," and criticized Attorney General Barr's handling of the "Epstein files." On Tuesday, the White House quickly tried to downplay the impact of the interview, with Wiles posting on social media that it was a "maliciously defamatory article" that "ignored important context."
