BitRobot Launches Open Robotics Lab, Opens Access ID Applications

BitRobot, an embodied AI robotics company, has officially launched its Open Robotics Lab and opened up applications for Access IDs. In a post on X, the firm detailed how users can boost their credentials: by contributing to robotics work, joining special subnet activities, or inviting new users. Participants earn Bolts, the network's reward unit, and collect Badges that mark special milestones. Access IDs serve as a record of a user's contributions across the entire network. For early adopters, any historical subnet points they have accumulated can be converted into Bolts. The lab has already connected several robotics departments and subnets, including navigation teleoperation, egocentric mode, and humanoid teleoperation, with more departments slated to join. This launch follows the news, earlier reported by Foresight News, that Frodobots Lab, a crypto AI research firm, completed an $8 million seed round in February 2025 to fund the creation of BitRobot.

ai16z declared dead as Eliza OS founder says token is finished and foundation is shut

Eliza OS founder Shaw Walters has published a lengthy statement saying the ai16z token is effectively dead, the foundation has been shut down, and no buyback will take place. He said token holders can either sell or try to revive the market themselves, but should not expect further action from him. Walters also said the foundation ran out of money fighting legal action brought on behalf of token holders, and that the remaining funds were paid out. He added that he once held $25 million worth of ai16z tokens, never sold a single one, and watched the position fall to zero. The statement has renewed attention on ai16z’s short but outsized role in the 2024 AI Agent token boom. The project raised 420.69 SOL on DAOs.fun in October 2024, or about $75,000, and later climbed to a $2.6 billion market cap in less than three months, according to the article. The piece argues that crypto priced the AI Agent idea before the products were ready, while the actual commercial winners in 2026 have been AI companies and platforms such as Anthropic, OpenAI, and OpenRouter rather than tokenized crypto projects.

Eliza OS founder says ai16z is over as the old crypto AI agent trade fades

Shaw Walters, the founder of Eliza OS, has declared that the ai16z token is effectively finished, saying the foundation has shut down and no buyback will take place. In a long statement, Walters told holders to either sell or "find a group of people to pump it," while making clear he would do nothing more for the token. He also said the foundation had been sued by lawyers acting on behalf of token holders and no longer had the money to fight, with the remaining funds already paid out. The statement has brought renewed attention to one of the biggest crypto AI stories of late 2024. ai16z launched on DAOs.fun in October 2024 with a crowdfunding target of 420.69 SOL, about $75,000, for what was pitched as an AI-run investment fund. In less than three months, its market value climbed to $2.6 billion and helped push the wider AI agent token sector close to the $10 billion mark. The article argues that crypto priced the AI agent idea far earlier than the underlying products were ready. By 2026, many of the functions once promised in token white papers had become real through companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic and platforms like OpenRouter, none of which needed tokens to build viable businesses. That contrast now sits at the center of the ai16z post-mortem.

ITSNOTAILABS outlines AI roadmap with in-house NOVA model series in the pipeline

ITSNOTAILABS has released its AI model development roadmap, saying its current system already integrates Google Gemini and the nova framework. The team said it plans to roll out its own NOVA family of models next, expanding beyond the third-party tools already embedded in its stack. According to the project, the upcoming lineup will include NOVA LLM, a lightweight model called NOVAMINI, and Medina-Native, a crypto-focused model with 14 billion parameters. The related framework has already been embedded natively into Sovereign Node OS, according to the project’s disclosure on X.
