Guarda Wallet launched in 2017 as a self-funded, non-custodial Android wallet built from scratch for a single chain. To grow beyond storage, its users needed to swap, buy, and stake inside the app — without Guarda becoming an exchange or building the infrastructure one demands. The team integrated ChangeNOW’s API as its exchange layer, with ChangeNOW acting as the primary provider behind Guarda’s swap coverage: liquidity, routing, and pricing sat with ChangeNOW, while custody stayed in the user’s hands and the swap itself never left the wallet. Guarda now supports 70 major blockchains — most of that network coverage enabled through the ChangeNOW integration — operates in more than 100 countries, and runs across web, desktop, mobile, and a browser extension. ChangeNOW carried the exchange side; the wider product trajectory was Guarda’s own. Storage stopped being a product For most of the last decade, a wallet’s
The post OpenAI GPT-5.6 Gets U.S. Commerce Nod for Broad Launch, Pre-IPO Perps Set to Explode? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
The U.S. Department of Commerce has given general permission to use OpenAI’s latest and greatest model, GPT-5.6, and traders with OpenAI pre-IPO perpetual futures are looking closely. Commerce Department Green-Lights OpenAI GPT-5.6 The clearance, which was first reported Tuesday by Axios, opens the door for a broader rollout of ChatGPT and API, which is anticipated as early as Thursday. It eliminates one of the largest regulatory clouds hanging over the open-market valuation of OpenAI’s private company, which has spurred an OpenAI pre-IPO perpetual futures market on sites such as Binance and Coinbase. The Commerce Department’s Center for AI Standards and Innovation ran the testing. To answer regulators’ questions on the fly, OpenAI deployed a dedicated technical team to Washington, D.C., to contribute to the sign-off process in a way that is unusual. There
OpenAI added two Realtime models to its API. GPT-Realtime-2.1-mini is a mini reasoning model for voice, priced like the earlier gpt-realtime-mini. OpenAI also cut p95 latency by at least 25% through improved caching. Here is what changed, how pricing compares, and how to connect over WebRTC.

You can be forgiven if you think the most important thing AWS ever sold developers was EC2. It’s not. No, AWS’s big gift to developers was permission to stop fretting about servers. That sounds obvious now, but it was close to magical at the time. Before the cloud, getting infrastructure meant waiting on procurement, hardware, and the somewhat arcane process that stood between a developer and a running machine. AWS turned that into a credit card and an API.
It was awesome.
AWS still (over)uses a great phrase for what it removed: “undifferentiated heavy lifting.” That is, all the mess associated with racking servers, patching operating systems, managing storage, planning capacity, etc. Important work, sure, but not the work that makes your application special. Let AWS do that, the company intoned, and developers could focus on the thing their customers actually cared about.
It was a brilliant abstraction. It helped build one of the most important technology companies of the past two dec
In this tutorial, we build a RAG-Anything workflow to explore how multimodal retrieval works across text, tables, equations, and images. We prepare a Colab environment, enter our OpenAI API key at runtime, and generate a synthetic report with a chart and PDF. We convert that content into RAG-Anything's direct content_list format and insert it into the retrieval system. We then configure OpenAI chat, vision, and embedding functions and test naive, local, global, and hybrid modes.
