Odaily Planet Daily News Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi said on August 8 that Iran is currently negotiating with Oman on the legal mechanism, management methods, and determining shipping routes for vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, and the two sides are very close to reaching an agreement. However, whether the Strait of Hormuz can be reopened also depends on other conditions, including the United States making amends for its violations of the US-Iran memorandum of understanding.
Araghchi said that in the past, there was a traffic separation scheme in the Strait of Hormuz, but Iran believes that the original route is no longer suitable as a shipping route, and Iran cannot accept continued use of that route. Therefore, it is necessary to plan a new navigation mechanism, although this involves complex technical and legal issues. What the two sides are currently discussing is a temporary navigation route. Before the new official navigation route is finalized, a temporary shipping lane will first be established, which will serve as the basis for the future official route. On this issue, the military departments of Iran and Oman have already begun consultations based on existing nautical charts. Once the relevant negotiations are completed and final conclusions are reached, the new navigation route will be determined. (Jin Shi)
Odaily星球日报讯 AI 公司 OpenAI 宣布，ChatGPT 免费用户及低价 Go 套餐用户可无限使用 GPT-5.6 轻量模型 Luna，但仅限文本对话。文件上传、图像生成和语音对话仍受原有额度限制。
GPT-5.6 Luna 是 GPT-5.6 系列中速度最快但性能相对较低的模型，并新增可延长推理时间的“Think”选项。OpenAI 还改进了面向 Plus、Pro 用户的 GPT-5.6 顶级模型 Sol，提升数字、日期及来源等事实信息的可靠性。
OpenAI 同时决定推迟下一代模型 Astra 的发布。该模型在编码和网络安全领域的内部评估显示出较强能力，可能达到“危险”评级；由于强化安全标准尚未完成，相关内部活动已暂时暂停。

Odaily星球日报讯 금요일 미국 비농업 고용지표가 예상 밖의 마이너스로 전환된 것과 관련해 블랙록 글로벌 채권 부문 최고투자책임자 릭 리더는 지난달 고용지표가 예상보다 크게 부진한 것은 인공지능 시대의 '생산성 혁명'을 반영하는 것이라고 밝혔다. 그는 비농업 고용자 수 감소가 미국 기업들이 직원 수를 늘리지 않고도 생산량을 확대하는 방법을 배우고 있음을 보여준다고 분석했다. 그는 "연방기금금리 조정이 실제로 문제를 해결할 수 있다고 보지 않는다. 우리는 이전에도 이런 상황을 본 적이 있다... 현재로서는 금리 인상이 큰 의미가 없다고 생각한다"고 말했다.

Odaily星球日报讯 비트코인 네트워크가 BIP-110 제안으로 인해 포크가 발생했다. 해당 제안을 지지하는 노드는 블록 높이 961,632에서 지지 신호를 포함하지 않은 블록을 거부했다. 현재까지 비트코인 메인 체인은 961,651 블록까지 진행되었으며, BIP-110 포크 체인은 961,633 블록에 도달하는 데 그쳐 메인 체인보다 18블록 뒤처져 있다.
BIP-110은 1년간의 규칙 조정 방안으로, Ordinals 인스크립션 등 용도를 포함한 비트코인 거래 내 비금융 데이터 기록을 제한하는 것을 목표로 한다. 이 제안은 약 2주에 해당하는 2016개 블록 주기 내에서 최소 1109개 블록(55%)이 지지 신호를 보내야 활성화될 수 있지만, 이전 주기에는 단 51개 블록만이 지지하여 비율이 2.53%에 그쳤다.
현재 BIP-110 체인은 더 많은 채굴자의 지지를 확보해야만 계속 진행될 수 있다. 규칙에 따르면, 해당 체인은 963,648 블록에 도달해야 규칙이 확정되며, 965,664 블록부터 약 1년간 공식적으로 제한 조치가 시행될 예정이다. (The Block)
