Open Athena completes main pretraining of Marin 535B-A23B and releases Mochi model
ME AI reports that Open Athena held its first community meetup at Fulcrum Science in New York, where Will Held presented progress on Marin pretraining. The team has officially completed the main pretraining phase for Marin 535B-A23B, a mixture-of-experts model named Mochi. The article argues that Marin’s core value lies in reviving traditional scientific methods: publishing not only model weights, but also reproducible data, preregistered experiments, and transparent decision-making processes. The team livestreamed its largest-scale pretraining run, showing real-time loss curves and distinguishing between the forecast line and the tuning-correction line. The process focused mainly on optimizing kernel speed and fine-tuning optimizer dynamics, with no loss spikes throughout. The team positions itself as transparently scaling up the most fundamental methods, creating research questions and artifacts for the academic community. Next, the team will move on to post-training and plans to hold an in-person event in San Francisco. (Source: ME)

ING plans to sell $500 million data center loan portfolio in a package

ME News, November 6 (UTC+8) — An informed source revealed that Aspex Management, one of Asia’s largest hedge funds, recorded a loss of about 16% in October as a sell-off in artificial intelligence (AI)-related stocks sent shockwaves through global markets. This was one of the largest monthly declines ever for the fund, which manages $14 billion in assets. However, as of the end of October, the fund, which focuses on pan-Asian equity markets, was still up 9% year to date. (Jinshi) (Source: ME)
ME News, November 6 (UTC+8) — Joe Maher, an economist at Capital Economics, said in a report that even if concerns about the U.S. political outlook ultimately prove excessive and stocks rebound in the short term, U.S. equities may struggle to return to their early-October highs in the near future. He noted that the apparent trigger for the overnight market sell-off was investors’ concern that Democrats could seek to regulate the artificial intelligence industry and restrict data center construction, both at the federal and state levels. Maher said sentiment toward AI-related trades had already shown signs of fragility, while the U.S. stock market was displaying many typical late-cycle characteristics. As a result, this could prove to be the catalyst for a more prolonged retreat from the AI stock boom. (Source: ME)

ME News reports that on November 6 (UTC+8), according to Carlos’s monitoring, his old hot wallet was drained early this morning in what appears to be a large-scale attack launched by “noble.base.eth,” possibly related to the Railway vulnerability. Carlos said the transfers were signed by his own wallet, indicating a theft involving a leaked seed phrase or private key. Around 96 wallets were drained within 70 minutes, and all the affected wallets showed the same pattern. Carlos advised users with hot wallets to rotate them immediately.

ME News, November 6 (UTC+8) — According to Pendle, NGI+ converts exposure to traditional institutional funds into permissionless tokens. The underlying Partners Group fund shares remain held by Reale, while tokens representing the economic exposure can be freely transferred between wallets and interact with DeFi.
