Beating AI Express News reports that Pine AI has launched Pine Computer, a cloud computer designed specifically for AI Agents. It integrates cloud virtual machines, AI models, and operational tools. Developers submit tasks via API, enabling the AI to operate browsers, software, and files in the cloud without requiring users to use their own devices. Pine’s core improvement is enabling the computer to proactively inform the AI of changes, addressing a key limitation of traditional vision-based Agents, which typically need repeated screenshots to assess click outcomes. Pine instead lets browsers and operating systems directly feed back changes to the AI model executing the task, cutting down on repeated screenshots and page checks. Pine claims its new solution completes tasks 2 to 5 times faster than traditional approaches in internal tests. In the SaaS-Bench v1.1 test, Pine’s checkpoint score hit 78.3%, outperforming Claude Code’s 74.3% and Codex’s 71.1%. This score measures how many check requirements are fulfilled during task execution, not overall task success rate. However, X Community notes point out Pine’s full task completion rate is only 27.4%, lower than Claude Code’s 31.1% and Codex’s 29.2%. Pine’s model costs are also far lower, averaging around $1.02 per task, versus $20.50 for Codex and $26.50 for Claude Code. That said, these fees exclude cloud server costs, and each solution uses different models and execution budgets. Currently, Pine Computer remains in an invitation-only closed beta phase.

Crypto KOL XXAntiWar today showcased their futures trading performance so far this year on the X platform. According to shared screenshots, XXAntiWar’s two accounts have generated a combined profit of over $5 million. The influencer also stated that their largest loss in futures trading this year came from a short position in ZEC. Summarizing their futures trading experience, XXAntiWar emphasized the importance of trading discipline: “Once you have a liquidation price, your trade has a weakness. When you make money, withdraw profits instead of reinvesting them. Put most of your other disposable funds into fixed-term deposits that are not easily accessible, to prevent yourself from overtrading and adding margin. You need to set a limit on your maximum possible loss. For now, the approach that works best for me is to only allocate 3% to 10% of my disposable funds, with a maximum leverage of 3x.”
