According to GMGN data, the market capitalization of the Meme coin flybrain on the Robinhood chain has surged past $25 million, hitting an all-time high, and is now trading at $27.26 million, with a 302% gain in the past hour. Marc Andreessen, co-founder of a16z, has just followed the project’s official X account. The project claims to be the first Meme coin developed by researchers using a fruit fly’s actual brain—not "brain-inspired AI"—specifically the neural connectome of a male fruit fly, which comprises 165,122 neurons and 10,228,000 synaptic connections, all tracked individually via electron microscopy. BlockBeats reminds users that most Meme coins lack practical use cases, feature highly volatile prices, and investors should exercise caution.

Beating AI News: Personal AI assistant Instinct is considering a $1 billion follow-on financing round. The firm just closed a $250 million funding, bringing its total raised to $350 million. Over the past few weeks, Instinct has repeatedly notified users that its services are at full capacity, leading to slower response times. The new financing round remains in the early stages and may not ultimately proceed. If the full $1 billion is secured, existing investors expect the valuation to reach at least around $10 billion, to limit dilution for old shareholders to under 10%. Currently, Instinct primarily rents servers and extensively uses open-source models. Founder Noah Shinn has also told potential investors that the company aims to eventually purchase its own chips and even operate data centers to reduce long-term computing power costs. Competition has also intensified sharply: Meta has just launched a free personal agent, Muse, which can also help users shop, book flights, and handle daily tasks. In early community comparisons, multiple testers noted that Muse is significantly faster than Instinct.
