NEAR Intents has identified the individual responsible for the security vulnerability that caused roughly $3.8 million in user fund losses on Thursday, and has given the person a 48-hour deadline to return the funds under the "responsible disclosure" framework. Alex Shevchenko, general manager of NEAR Intents, stated: "We have confirmed your identity." The company also released three distinct wallet addresses to receive Bitcoin, BNB, and Solana. "You understand how responsible disclosure works better than most — this is your final opportunity to take advantage of this mechanism. The window will close after 48 hours," Shevchenko added. On Thursday, NEAR Intents suspended its related services after detecting a vulnerability in the interaction between the Omni deposit and withdrawal infrastructure and NEAR Intents smart contracts.

According to official sources, a new proposal has been submitted to the NEAR Governance Forum by Sal Ternullo, CEO of Svrn AI. The proposal calls for cutting the NEAR token issuance rate from 2.5% to 1.6% over 24 months, and pursuing a fixed total token supply in the long run. It is now open for discussion among validators, House of Stake representatives, and the entire NEAR community. Separately, NEAR officials clarified that the NEAR Intents incident did not involve any vulnerabilities in the NEAR Protocol or its native NEAR token. The network remained fully operational, producing blocks and processing transactions with zero downtime throughout the period.

Beating AI Insight News: Perplexity has launched the Decisions API and open-sourced its multimodal decision-making model pplx-decider-v1-27b. Unlike standard large language models (LLMs), this model does not generate plain text; instead, it returns probability distributions directly from answers provided by developers, making it suitable for use cases like classification, request routing, and next-step action selection for AI agents. The API is priced at $0.04 per 1 million input tokens, with outputs offered free of charge. In 11 tests totaling 7,210 samples published by Perplexity, pplx-decider-v1-27b achieved an overall accuracy of 85.71%, outperforming Jev (84.51%) and Qwen 3.8-27B (74.76%). However, the model is not universally superior: Jev scored higher in 6 of the 11 tests, while Perplexity’s model led in benchmarks including FinancialPhraseBank, RAGTruth, TabFact, and Circa. Notably, these results come from Perplexity’s internal testing, not independent third-party evaluations. This category of models is tailored to handle high-frequency "micro-decisions" in AI agents, such as assigning customer support tickets, determining whether to call a tool, or selecting the next workflow step. Traditional LLMs typically generate full text before parsing answers, while decision models directly return predefined options and their associated probabilities. Similar models have also been launched recently by providers including AWS and Cloudflare.
