Anthropics new AI leads freelance benchmarks, yet fails 58% of the tasks

Anthropics Fable 5.2 ranks first on the Remote Labor Index, a test of complete freelance projects, with 41.3% of its deliverables judged to meet a professional reference standard.　　Related Company Anthropic AI models and research　　Scales Nov. 12 leaderboard lists Fable 5.2 at 41.3%, ahead of the next-highest model, Opus 5.5 at 21.25%. Anthropic reported the result in its Nov. 9 release announcement, labeling the RLI score “High effort” and indicating that safeguards were enabled.　　The original RLI paper, submitted in October 2025 by researchers from the Center for AI Safety and Scale AI, describes a dataset of 240 projects across 23 freelance work categories. Each includes a brief, the files needed to complete the task, and a professional human-reference deliverable.　　The selected projects include documents, audio, video, 3D models, and computer-aided design files. That range makes file production and finished-product quality part of the challenge, alongside understanding what the client requested.　　The researchers‘ original evaluation method uses trained human reviewers to inspect the AI’s work against the brief and reference deliverable.　　Independent evaluations and majority voting determine outcomes, and a project passes when the AIs deliverable satisfies the brief at least as well as the reference, at a quality a reasonable client would accept.　　A useful

Strategy Made $19.5 Billion in Profit. So Why Is MSCI Removing It From Stock Indexes？

In briefMSCI will remove Strategys MSTR shares from its MSCI USA Index, affecting broader global benchmarks, after November 30.The index providers new rules target companies that resemble investment funds rather than operating businesses.Selling by index-tracking funds could pressure Strategys stock, potentially reducing the money it can raise to buy Bitcoin.　　Strategy made $19.53 billion in profit last quarter. Yet MSCI, one of the world‘s biggest providers of stock indexes, has decided Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin company no longer belongs in some of its major investment benchmarks.　　MSCI‘s November review lists “STRATEGY A”—the company’s MSTR shares—for deletion from the MSCI USA Index after trading closes November 30. That also removes the stock from broader indexes that include U.S. companies, such as the MSCI World and MSCI All Country World indexes.　　That sounds technical, but the distinction matters: MSCI is not removing Strategy from the Nasdaq stock exchange, shutting down its business, or making it sell Bitcoin. It is taking MSTR out of stock lists that investment funds use to decide which companies to own.　　Predict·EconomyWill Strategy hold over 1M BTC before 2027？　　2%　　98%　　YesNo　　$72.3K volume　　Jan 1Closes: Jan 1, 2027, 04:59 UTC　　Closes: Jan 1, 2027, 04:59 UTC　　Consider an ETF designed to copy the MSCI USA Index.

Bitcoin Loses Key 200-Day Average: Is $67,000 Next？

Bitcoin price fell below its 200-day moving average of $73,137 on Thursday.

S&P 500 Recovered $1 Trillion in 90 Minutes Despite Wider Market Crash

The S&P 500 looked headed for a bruising Thursday after Nvidia lost as much as $600 billion in market value.

Telegram Android Flaw Sparks Bybit Security Warning for Crypto Users

Crypto exchange Bybit told users on Friday to update Telegram on Android now.

SpaceX-Tesla Merger Could Come Soon: What Do Shareholders Get？

SpaceX-Tesla merger talks are progressing, and a deal could be announced as early as December, Bloomberg reported Thursday. Combined, the two companies are worth roughly $3.5 trillion, enough to make it the largest corporate deal ever.　　No terms are signed, and the deal could still slip into 2027. For Tesla shareholders, the question is the swap rate, meaning how many SpaceX shares each Tesla share would buy, and at what premium.　　What Would Tesla and SpaceX Shareholders Get？　　Bank of America analyst Alexander Perry expects SpaceX to buy Tesla with stock, not cash. At a 20% premium, he estimated Tesla holders would own about 47% of the combined company, using October 20 prices. A bigger premium shrinks SpaceX holders slice.　　Sponsored　　Sponsored　　Tesla stock traded at $393.65 and SpaceX at $140.33 as of this writing. One Tesla share equaled about 2.8 SpaceX shares before any premium.　　Elon Musk keeps control either way.

Crypto hack losses equal 57 cents per $1 earned onchain: Arks Valente

Hackers stole 57 cents for every $1 earned onchain by blockchain protocols since 2017, according to Lorenzo Valente, director of digital asset research at ARK Investment Management.　　“Security is the bottleneck,” wrote Valente in a Thursday X post, sharing a chart showing that $8.7 billion lost to crypto hacks year to date had already surpassed the $5.6 billion in estimated annual onchain revenue for 2026.　　Since 2017, the crypto industry has lost about $26.9 billion to hacks and earned $47 billion in total onchain revenue, he added.　　The recent $6.3 billion stolen in the Binance hack alone exceeded Valentes estimate for full-year 2026 onchain revenue. Value lost to hacks is on track to exceed onchain revenue by year-end for the first time since 2020.　　The crypto industry saw a string of high-value hacks this year, including September‘s $387 million Bitget hack and the $320 million Liquid Network exploit, as well as April’s $295 million Drift Protocol exploit.　　The mounting security exploits are weighing on the institutional appetite for DeFi. In an April research note, JPMorgan analysts identified bridge security as a long-standing challenge for the industry.　　Total value locked in decentralized finance (DeFi) has fallen nearly 10% since the Binance exploit, from $85.9 billion on Oct.

US Justice Department, business groups and DeFi firms challenge Illinois crypto tax

The US Department of Justice, business and financial industry groups and a coalition of decentralized finance (DeFi) firms have backed a legal challenge to Illinois 0.2% digital asset tax, arguing that the measure unfairly targets cryptocurrency transactions and could impose taxes even when investors make no profit.　　Over the past week, the Justice Department filed a statement of interest, while the US Chamber of Commerce and the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) submitted an amicus filing. A coalition that includes venture capital firms Andreessen Horowitz and Paradigm as well as crypto protocols Uniswap and Aave Labs also filed a brief, according to a Thursday announcement from the Blockchain Association and Crypto Council for Innovation.　　The law, enacted in June, imposes a 0.2% tax on the value of digital assets exchanged, transferred or stored, regardless of whether a transaction generates a profit.　　The Digital Chamber sued Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul and state revenue official David Harris in July, followed by a separate challenge from the Blockchain Association and Crypto Council for Innovation in August. Originally scheduled to take effect on Jan. 1, 2027, the tax was delayed until July 1, 2027, allowing more time for the legal challenges.　　Illinois had projected the

Why the Path to Quantum Resistance Runs Uphill for Bitcoin Wallet Makers

In briefTrezor is preparing for the UX challenges of a post-quantum Bitcoin, where SHRINCS, the communitys leading candidate signature scheme, lets users choose efficient “stateful” signatures that can expose funds to theft if reused beyond a signing budget, CTO Tomáš Sušánka said.To reduce that risk, Trezor is considering making larger, safer “stateless” signatures the default and hiding the riskier stateful option behind advanced settings.He also noted devices themselves need post-quantum upgrades for firmware and authentication.　　Bitcoin custody has always involved some degree of risk, but wallet manufacturers like Trezor—which build physical devices designed to keep a users private keys secure offline—are preparing for a post-quantum world where new challenges arise.　　That‘s because SHRINCS, the community’s leading candidate for a post-quantum signature scheme, allows users to make transactions using stateful signatures that require rigid state tracking to prevent funds from being stolen, according to Trezor CTO Tomáš Sušánka.　　Proposed late last year by Blockstream Research Director Jonas Nick and cryptographer Mikhail Kudinov, SHRINCS centers on a composite hash-based approach: users can make transactions using either stateful signatures or stateless signatures.　　Predict·CryptoBTC Highs in November　　80,00042%YesNo　　82,50010%YesNo　　85,0007%YesNo　　87,5004%YesNo　　90,0002%YesNo　　+6 more outcomes+5 more outcomes　　NEW　　$205.05 volume　　Dec 1Closes: Dec 1, 2026, 04:59 UTC　　Closes: Dec 1, 2026, 04:59 UTC　　Stateless signatures are quite large—potentially affecting
