ARC Raiders Fourth Expedition overhauls rewards with Blueprints and Tokens

AI on a Budget: Tech Giants Pivot from Token Frenzy to Cheaper Models

Facing soaring token costs, Big Tech is rethinking AI adoption: Amazon and Uber cap usage, OpenAI's Sam Altman calls token usage a huge issue, and firms pivot toward leaner edge‑computing models to cut token bills; GitHub's pay‑per‑token plan struggles, while Microsoft and Google push edge solutions to reduce cloud reliance, even as data‑center energy and water concerns linger.

GitHub Copilot adopts usage-based pricing starting June

GitHub will charge Copilot users based on actual AI usage starting June 1, replacing the current fixed-amount quota with monthly AI Credits equal to a subscriber’s plan. Extra usage beyond credits will be billed by token consumption at model-specific rates, with OpenAI GPT model costs varying by complexity. Simple AI suggestions remain free, but Copilot code reviews will incur GitHub Actions minutes. A preview bill tool will estimate charges before rollout, as GitHub says the shift aligns pricing with actual costs and supports sustainable, reliable service amid rising AI compute demand.

Huang's AGI claim sparks debate as Nvidia touts token-backed AI push

Jensen Huang sparked a debate by saying 'we've achieved AGI' in one interview, then tempered the claim by acknowledging current AI systems still require significant human guidance; at the same time he pushes a token-based approach to scale AI work, suggesting engineers should spend more on tokens and even proposing token-based compensation, a theme that surfaced in two interviews days apart as the industry weighs what qualifies as AGI.

Huang urges Nvidia engineers to spend half their compensation on AI tokens

Multichain Bridges Exploited, Crypto Assets Lost in $130M Scandal

Multichain, a cross-chain router, has confirmed an exploit that affected $130 million in user-supplied tokens, urging users to suspend its services and revoke contract approvals. The exploit impacted bridges on the Fantom, Moonriver, and Dogechain networks, resulting in significant outflows of various tokens. Stolen tokens have not been sent to exchanges or mixing services, and related tokens such as Fantom (FTM), Moonriver (MOVR), and Dogechain (DC) have experienced price drops. Bridges, which facilitate token transfers between networks, have been a vulnerable target, with billions lost to bridge-based exploits in recent years.
