Beating AI Express Insight: Lody announces open-sourcing its CLI and local desktop client under the Apache 2.0 license. It is not a new coding agent, but rather adds a shared workspace layer on top of existing agents, compatible with Claude Code, Codex, Kimi, OpenCode and others. Teams can share sessions, view runtime status and code changes, and assign tasks from mobile or web to computers or servers. When multiple agents work simultaneously, different sessions can be placed in separate Git worktrees to avoid conflicts from concurrent code edits by different agents. Agents can also create, read and resume other sessions; a primary agent can split debugging, implementation and testing into multiple sub-sessions for parallel execution. However, not the entire Lody suite is open-sourced this time. The public repository explicitly excludes the hosted backend, deployment configurations, billing systems, and source code for web and mobile apps. Cross-device collaboration currently still relies on Lody’s hosted sync service, and end-to-end encryption is not yet supported. The official’s next step is to continue advancing toward a local-first approach, gradually making sessions, documents, tasks and historical decisions part of project contexts fully controlled by teams.

Justin Sun stated at Hong Kong’s "Bitcoin Asia 2026" conference that quantum threats pose a widespread risk to blockchain technology and the entire global financial system, with traditional banks including JPMorgan also facing such risks. However, due to the Bitcoin community’s high level of decentralization—encompassing multiple participants such as miners, exchanges, and WBTC—reaching consensus on anti-quantum measures would take a long time. Sun also noted that TRON has been developing anti-quantum mechanisms over the past year; it released an anti-quantum address scheme in the first half of this year, which has been deployed on the testnet, and plans to upgrade its entire network to an anti-quantum mainstream cryptocurrency network by the end of this year.

According to market sources, Kioxia and SanDisk plan to invest $31 billion in Japan to expand their memory factories.

Beating AI Express: Grok Bot significantly lowers access barriers. The official announced that all SuperGrok and Cursor Pro subscribers can now use Grok Bot, with weekly usage quotas reset for existing users. Cursor Pro is priced at $20 per month. Grok Bot is a long-running AI Agent, with each bot equipped with its own cloud computer. It can log into websites, operate applications, process files, and handle terminals, and continues working even when the user’s device is turned off. Multiple bots can also work in parallel on different tasks. On August 21, the official expanded Grok Bot access to SuperGrok Plus, Cursor Pro+, and Cursor Teams; in less than a week, the minimum access threshold has been lowered to Cursor Pro. Grok Bot has its own separate weekly usage quota, which does not directly consume Cursor’s regular model quota. However, if it further calls Cursor Cloud Agent, the latter will still count toward the standard Cursor quota. Many Cursor Pro users view this as a free long-running AI Agent added to their original programming subscription package. That said, Grok Bot remains in beta: some users have reported instability issues with web operations and login persistence, while a number of Pro subscribers have not yet received the new access permissions.

Likely boosted by NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang’s "AI inflection point theory" mentioned during the company’s earnings call, the U.S. AI sector saw broad pre-market gains. According to market data from BIT (bit.com), NVIDIA’s U.S. pre-market price rose nearly 6%. In the chip sector, Micron Technology gained 4.07%, SK Hynix climbed 4.48%. The storage sector saw SNDK rise 4.32% and WDC advance 3.29%. CPO concept stocks AAOI jumped 6.28% and LITE gained 3.61%. Huang said in remarks late last night that artificial intelligence has reached an inflection point. AI is now delivering truly useful work, and the tokens it generates are creating productivity and profits. Currently, computing power equals revenue, and demand is accelerating.
