The post Coinbase Launches x402 Batch Settlement to Advance AI Payments appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Coinbase-backed x402 has added batch settlement, a feature designed to reduce the cost of high-frequency AI agent payments by allowing many small transactions to settle later in bulk. Base creator Jesse Pollak said Wednesday that x402 now supports batched settlement, enabling very small payments below $0.0001 for on-demand resources such as compute and inference. The feature lets buyers deposit ERC-20 funds into onchain escrow and sign offchain vouchers for each paid request. Sellers can verify those vouchers quickly, serve the request and later redeem many payments together in batched onchain transactions, according to x402’s documentation. The development adds another layer to the emerging market for agent payments. It comes a week after Amazon Web Services (AWS) integrated Coinbase’s x402 payment protocol and wallet infrastructure to allow AI agents to make USDC (USDC) paymen

The post Base x402 protocol adds batched settlement to enable sub-fraction-of-a-cent AI payments appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Base creator Jesse Pollak announced on May 13 that the x402 payment protocol now supports batched settlement, in an X post. x402 now supports batched settlement this unlocks many many tiny tiny payments (<$0.0001) which is perfect for paying for just in time resources like compute and inference https://t.co/V6Kjz9jqHQ — jesse.base.eth (@jessepollak) May 13, 2026 The update bundles many transactions together before settling them on-chain, spreading the blockchain fee across multiple payments. Per-transaction settlement on Base already costs fractions of a cent, but batching makes sub-fraction-of-a-cent pricing economically rational for high-frequency AI workloads. As Cryptopolitan reported last week, Amazon Web Services launched AgentCore Payments using x402, with USDC settling in roughly 200 milliseconds on Base. Batched settlement layers on top of that

The move indicates that the Middle Eastern country, which has had its airspace violated with impunity during the last two Iran wars, is eyeing strengthening its limited air defense with a layered system capable of
Google's new generation of Tensor AI chips is actually two chips, one for inference and one for training.
In this tutorial, we build an end-to-end implementation around Qwen 3.6-35B-A3B and explore how a modern multimodal MoE model can be used in practical workflows. We begin by setting up the environment, loading the model adaptively based on available GPU memory, and creating a reusable chat framework that supports both standard responses and explicit thinking […] The post A Coding Implementation on Qwen 3.6-35B-A3B Covering Multimodal Inference, Thinking Control, Tool Calling, MoE Routing, RAG, and Session Persistence appeared first on MarkTechPost.
The move comes after the vendor forged significant deals with OpenAI and AWS earlier this year.
