The AI price war is no longer a threat on the horizon — it's arrived. Competitors are slashing what they charge for model access, and that puts real pressure on OpenAI and Anthropic, two companies still burning through enormous sums to stay ahead. The question isn't just who survives, but whether the economics of frontier AI can ever actually close.
Speaking of AI under pressure, researchers are flagging a new attack vector called agentjacking, where malicious actors embed fake error reports inside tools like Sentry to trick AI coding agents — including Claude Code and Cursor — into executing harmful code. It's a reminder that the more autonomy we hand these systems, the more creative the ways to exploit them become.
And on the crypto side, Standard Chartered is making a bold call: Uniswap's UNI token could climb nearly forty times its current value by two thousand thirty, driven by what the bank describes as Wall Street migrating on-chain. That's a striking forecast from a traditional financial institution, though forecasts and outcomes in crypto have a complicated relationship.
