Odaily News: Crypto venture capital firm Multicoin Capital announced that its co-founder and managing partner, Kyle Samani, will gradually step back from the firm's day-to-day operations. Co-founder Tushar Jain stated that Samani's interests have expanded beyond the crypto space to cutting-edge areas such as artificial intelligence, longevity technology, and robotics, leading him to decide to dedicate more time to exploring these emerging technologies.

Kyle Samani gained widespread attention for his early bet on Solana and has been a significant voice in the industry for years, actively promoting multiple sectors including DePIN. He also co-founded Forward, a digital asset treasury company with SOL as its core asset. He has also proposed core concepts related to Solana's performance, such as IBRL (Increase Bandwidth, Reduce Latency).

Samani stated that leaving Multicoin is a "bittersweet" decision, but he will continue to invest in the crypto industry in a personal capacity and will persistently advocate for the Solana ecosystem.

Odaily News An Iranian senior source said, "The US leaking the news of the cancellation of talks shows a lack of sincerity on the American side." The source stated that Iran will not accept negotiations on any other topics beyond the nuclear issue. Two US officials earlier revealed that the US government had formally informed Iran on the 4th, rejecting its request to change the location and format of the talks originally scheduled for the 6th. Both sides had previously agreed to hold talks in Istanbul with the participation of observers from multiple countries, but Iran requested on the 3rd to move the negotiations to Oman and conduct them in a bilateral format. After assessment, the US side believed that this move could weaken the effectiveness of multilateral coordination, hence insisting on the original arrangement.

Simultaneously, Gemini will also provide AI technical support for Apple iPhone's Siri.

The company stated that large-scale investments in the AI field, including new infrastructure, R&D spending, and talent acquisition, are crucial for competing with rivals such as Amazon, Microsoft, and OpenAI.
