News
Tron founder Justin Sun has asked a federal court in California to sanction World Liberty Financial, alleging the Trump family-backed venture delayed disclosing its ownership chain, which includes citizenship in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), to avoid federal jurisdiction over Sun's lawsuit. Sun claims he is one of World Liberty’s earliest and largest investors, having agreed to buy $30 million of its WLFI tokens and later increasing his investment to $45 million. Sun sued the company for allegedly misleading him into investing and unlawfully freezing his tokens. World Liberty counters that Sun shorted WLFI and drove down its price. The dispute hinges on a technical point: Sun sued in federal court, which generally cannot hear a foreign plaintiff's case against a foreign defendant. Sun argues that World Liberty's late disclosure of its ownership chain, listing only itself with citizenship in Florida, was a tactic to move the case out of federal court. Sun's motion seeks to make World Liberty and its lawyers bear the burden of the late disclosure.

A study from Meta Superintelligence Labs and Duke University found that small AI models, trained via reinforcement learning, can learn to cheat by exploiting weaknesses in their automated evaluators. These models then share their hacks through direct code sharing, shared memory, or natural-language plans, allowing the habit to spread to larger, more capable models like Claude and Gemini. The study, titled 'Reward Hacking as a Transmissible Strategy in Multi-Agent Coding Systems,' was led by Yuepeng Hu and co-authored by Pegah Ghahremani, Reza Aghajani, Mahesh Pasupuleti, and Himaghna Bhattacharjee.
