forklog.media Anthropic and OpenAI Halt Secondary Market Trading of Their Shares

Anthropic and OpenAI have revised their stock policies, prohibiting secondary trading. The statement from the former indicates that any sale or transfer of securities without board approval is invalid: the buyer will not be recognized as a shareholder and will receive no rights. OpenAI's announcement contains nearly identical wording: without written consent, the transfer of securities is void and holds no economic value. Both companies identified the same list of directions: direct sales, special purpose vehicles (SPVs), tokenized equity, and forward contracts. SPVs are companies created to hold shares of a private firm and raise capital for their purchase. Such structures have become a standard workaround for buying shares of a company that has not yet gone public. The vulnerability of the scheme lies in the ability to create "multiple levels of SPVs": additional companies to purchase shares of a similar structure. This complicates the verification of the legality of transactions with underlying shares. Under the new rules of both companies, if the initial transfer of funds into an SPV is not approved by the board, the entire chain of transactions is considered invalid. Anthropic published a list of specific blocked structures: Open Door Partners, Unicorns Exchange, Pachamama, Lionheart Ventures, Sydecar, Upmarket, Forge Global, and Hiive. The last two are the most well-known platforms for secondary trading of private company shares. Forge Global is a regulated platform for accredited investors, where Anthropic's estimated valuation previously reached $1 trillion, surpassing OpenAI's $880 billion. The company reported that it was mistakenly included in the list. "We are working with Anthropic to remove Forge's name from this warning. Our company does not facilitate transactions with shares of any private companies without explicit approval from the firm," the comment states. Market Reaction The market reacted swiftly. Following the announcements from Anthropic and OpenAI, their tokens on PreStocks—a Solana-based platform—dropped from $1400 to $873 and from $2000 to $1080, respectively. Source: Coingecko. Source: Coingecko Over the past year, some crypto companies have launched investment products with access to private firm shares. These are often perpetual futures—derivative instruments that track the value of private firms on secondary markets but do not confer ownership rights to actual shares. Reasons for the Ban In October 2025, OpenAI conducted a board-approved tender offer: current and former employees were allowed to sell shares worth up to $30 million. More than 600 individuals collectively received $6.6 billion in a single transaction. About 75 individuals decided to cash out the entire $30 million. The company tripled the previous limit of $10 million per employee, as the old restriction caused dissatisfaction among leading researchers and developers. OpenAI organized the campaign and approved each transaction—this is the right private firms strive to protect. They aim to control secondary sales. The crackdown targets anyone attempting to circumvent this. Investors, on the other hand, seek access to the rapidly growing revenues of AI startups—the very loopholes that OpenAI and Anthropic have now closed. Back in July 2025, OpenAI denied reports of launching tokenized shares of the firm, as proposed by Robinhood.

forklog.media Google Unveils AI Cursor, Googlebook, and Gemini Intelligence Suite

Google DeepMind is developing an AI-powered computer mouse cursor based on Gemini, aiming to rethink a technology that has remained unchanged for over half a century. "We are exploring new AI-based possibilities that will help the cursor not only understand what it points to but also why it matters to the user," the company blog states. The project addresses a common issue: the standard AI tool operates in a separate window, requiring users to drag their content there. "We aim for the opposite: an intuitive artificial intelligence that interacts with users across all their tools without interrupting the workflow," the company declared. Four Principles of the AI Cursor Google DeepMind has developed four principles that shift the transmission of context and intentions from the user to the computer, replacing text prompts with more intuitive interaction methods. Maintaining Workflow AI functions should work across all applications, so the Google DeepMind cursor prototype is available wherever the user operates. For instance, one can hover over a PDF file and request a brief summary in list form to insert into an email. Another example is hovering over a table with statistical data and asking to create a pie chart. Show and Tell Modern neural networks require precise instructions, and to get a quality response, users need to craft detailed prompts. The AI cursor simplifies this process: it captures visual and semantic context, allowing the model to "see" and understand what is important. In Google DeepMind's experimental system, it is sufficient to point to a paragraph, image fragment, or code block, and the LLM will understand what assistance is needed. The Power of "This" and "That" In everyday communication, people rarely use long and detailed phrases. They say, "Fix this," "Move that here," or "What does this mean," while relying on gestures and overall context. "An AI system capable of understanding this combination of context, gestures, and speech will allow users to formulate complex requests naturally and succinctly without using complex prompts," the Google DeepMind blog notes. Pixels for Interaction For decades, computers have only tracked the direction of gaze. Artificial intelligence can understand what the user is pointing at and transform pixels into structural objects for instant interaction. "A photo with sketches turns into an interactive to-do list, a still from a travel video becomes a link to book a table at that charming restaurant," noted Google DeepMind. Implementation Google DeepMind is implementing these principles in Chrome and the new interface for Googlebook laptops. "Starting today, instead of entering complex queries, you can use the cursor to ask Gemini in Chrome about the part of the web page that interests you," the blog states. For example, you can select several items on a page and ask to compare them or indicate where to visualize a new sofa in the living room. Soon, the company will launch Magic Pointer in Googlebook. The feature will allow using Gemini with a single finger swipe. Googlebook Google has introduced a "new category of laptops" based on Gemini's capabilities, combining Android and ChromeOS. "Over 15 years ago, we introduced the Chromebook—a laptop designed for a cloud-first world. Today, as we transition from OS to an intelligent system, we see an opportunity to rethink the concept of laptops," the announcement states. Googlebooks are designed for Gemini Intelligence and the new AI cursor. The devices feature a "Create Widget" function with voice command support. Gemini can search the internet or connect to Google apps like Gmail and Calendar to create a unified personalized dashboard. The tool is built on the Android technology stack, ensuring seamless operation across multiple devices: the "Quick Access" feature allows viewing, searching, and inserting files from a phone to a laptop without manual transfer. The first Googlebooks are being developed in collaboration with Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, and Lenovo. Gemini Intelligence Gemini Intelligence is a suite of AI functions for Android devices. In the summer of 2026, they will first appear on Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel, then on other gadgets. "This system combines top-notch hardware and innovative software to help you stay ahead, proactively solving tasks throughout the day while ensuring data privacy and full control," the announcement states. Some agent capabilities of Gemini were already demonstrated in early 2026 on Samsung smartphones, such as ordering food or taxis. Soon, the assistant will be able to perform more complex tasks: simply photograph a tour brochure, and the bot will find similar options on Expedia. In Chrome, the AI assistant will help find, summarize, and compare content across different pages. The Rambler feature on the Gboard keyboard will allow dictating text, then highlight important fragments and compile them into a coherent message without filler words and repetitions. Back in April, Google introduced Gemma 4—a new family of open AI models for advanced reasoning and agent workflows.

forklog.media Kelp and Aave Begin Asset Recovery After Hack

The protocols Kelp and Aave have commenced the recovery of assets following the April hack amounting to $292 million. Developers plan to return 117,132 rsETH within two weeks. Kelp and Aave have successfully completed a series of steps for rsETH backing, including burning the exploiter’s rsETH on Arbitrum.117,132 rsETH will be progressively refilled from Aave Recovery Guardian and Kelp Recovery Safe into the LayerZero OFT adapter on mainnet over the…— Kelp (@KelpDAO) May 12, 2026 The first portion of funds will be transferred to the mainnet shortly. Following this, Kelp will reopen asset withdrawals—expected within 24 hours. Users will once again have access to deposits, minting, and cross-chain transfers. The Kelp team has updated the security settings of the LayerZero bridge. Now, four independent nodes are required to confirm transactions instead of one, and the number of necessary blocks has increased from 42 to 64. The protocol has also begun transitioning to Chainlink's CCIP technology. Representatives from Aave confirmed the commencement of payouts and burned the rsETH tokens held by the hacker on the Arbitrum network. The first set of steps in the rsETH technical recovery plan are complete, including burning the exploiter's rsETH on Arbitrum. Progressively refilling the LayerZero OFT adapter and reopening rsETH operations will follow over the coming days. https://t.co/p1tiIzp5Nr— Aave (@aave) May 12, 2026 Previously, the lending protocol team challenged in court the freezing of some funds imposed by lawsuits from terrorism victims against North Korea. The court allowed the transfer of assets to the protocol but prohibited their sale until a final decision is made. LayerZero developers admitted fault in the incident. The company confirmed that the default security configuration was insufficiently protected for protocols with a large volume of locked funds.  In April, Kelp was attacked, allegedly by the Lazarus Group. This hack was the largest in the DeFi sector since the beginning of the year. In May, Aave liquidated the remaining positions of the Kelp hacker in rsETH as part of the approved recovery plan.  Later, the Arbitrum community supported the transfer of 30,765 ETH worth $70 million to the DeFi United fund.
