According to monitoring by Beating, former OpenAI researcher Zain Shah and his team have released Flipbook, an experimental prototype that directly generates screen pixels using AI models, replacing traditional web technologies like HTML and CSS. Each 'page' viewed by users is an AI-generated image, and clicking on any area of the image generates a new image for further exploration. The entire interface is free of HTML code, fixed links, and predefined buttons, with even the text represented as pixels in the image. The video mode is based on the open-source DiT (Diffusion Transformer) video generation model LTX Studio from the Israeli company Lightricks, optimized to stream in 1080p at 24fps to users' screens via WebSocket, with a backend powered by Modal Labs' serverless GPU. Shah mentioned that the current functionality of Flipbook is limited, and the team is designing around visual explanations, but it showcases a larger direction: as models become more accurate and stateful, it could expand into structured UIs, including programming scenarios. Shah previously worked on AI and robotics research at OpenAI, later served as a creative technology expert at Samsung, and is also a YC S13 alumnus. Team members include former engineers from Humane and Slack, Eddie Jiao, and former Apple engineer Drew O'Carr.

CFTC Warns Prediction Markets: Trader Incentive Programs May Encourage False Trading and Market Manipulation
On August 13, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Market Oversight Division issued a regulatory advisory reminding designated contract markets (DCM) of their regulatory obligations when self-certifying market maker, liquidity, trading, or incentive programs under CFTC Rules 40.5 and 40.6. The advisory addresses the increasing number of incentive program rule filings submitted under CFTC Rule 40.6(a), particularly those related to event contract products. The CFTC noted that some of these filings contain procedural or substantive deficiencies. These deficiencies may hinder staff's ability to assess whether the DCM has adequately notified the terms of the programs and whether it has sufficiently evaluated the compliance of the relevant programs with core principles and other regulatory requirements of the Commission. The guidance clarifies staff expectations regarding the procedural and substantive requirements when submitting materials under CFTC Rules 40.5 and 40.6, including initial submissions of incentive programs, amendments or changes to relevant programs, and submission procedures. -

Bullish Sentiment in Bond Market Rises as 10-Year Treasury Yield Falls Below 1.7%
On August 13, the domestic bond market has seen a continued rise in bullish sentiment, with long-term rates experiencing a significant breakthrough. Market data shows that after fluctuating around 1.7% for several days, the yield on the 10-year Treasury bond fell below the 1.7% mark again on August 12, closing at 1.694%. Meanwhile, the yield on the 30-year Treasury bond also declined, closing at 2.160%, marking a low for the year. Industry insiders believe that the current bond market trend is driven by multiple factors including expectations of loose monetary policy, a balanced and relaxed funding environment, and institutional investors increasing their positions. However, after the key level was breached, the market's bullish and bearish dynamics intensified, and the effective conditions for a sustained downward trend in interest rates still need further validation. -

Trump: The U.S. Has Complete Control Over the Strait of Hormuz
On August 12, U.S. President Trump posted: "The United States has complete control over the Strait of Hormuz. I believe we will continue to maintain that control! Our maritime blockade is referred to by everyone as a 'steel wall,' and Iran is powerless against it. They have no navy, no air force, and their remaining soldiers have not been paid. The Revolutionary Guard has been severely damaged and is in retreat, while their 'leadership' can at best be described as uncertain! They have no funds—this country is already 'full of holes.' All they have are fake news and 300% inflation, and the situation is worsening! Iran is now just talk without action, no longer the bully of the Middle East!" -
