INTRODUCING MY NEXT SONG… 🎶Moose Moose Alpaca🎵 🤪 sorry! srsly I’m so proud of the work my sis & I have been doing w/ @fireworkfoundation & am happy to share Camp Firework w/ u on Variety + Lifetime present “Power of Women: The Changemakers @Lifetime tn @ 10p ET AND PT!

We're excited to share that Gate US and @AlpacaHQ are aligning on a shared vision: bringing together AI infrastructure and trading infrastructure to power the next generation of agentic trading. Alpaca has built one of the most agent-friendly trading APIs in the market, and its community has been turning trading ideas into real, working projects — from research workflows to paper trading systems to fully agentic pipelines that connect market data, analysis, and execution logic. Gate AI is building the infrastructure layer for AI agents and developers — including GateRouter, a unified API that gives developers instant access to 25+ mainstream AI models with intelligent routing to optimize cost and performance. Putting these two pieces together points to a clear opportunity: developers building AI trading agents shouldn't have to choose between great execution infrastructure and great AI infrastructure — they should be able to have both, seamlessly. What this means going forward: ✅ Exploring how Gate AI's model routing and agent infrastructure can plug into trading workflows built on APIs like Alpaca's ✅ Supporting builders who want to combine market data + AI reasoning + trade execution into agentic systems ✅ Sharing knowledge and best practices between the Gate AI and Alpaca builder communities ✅ Continuing to lower the cost and complexity of building AI-native trading applications This is the start of a conversation, not the end of one. We'll be sharing more as the technical details take shape — and we'd love to hear from builders in both communities about what you'd want to see. If you're building agentic trading workflows and want to be part of shaping this, reach out — we'd love to hear from you. 👉 Learn more: #AI# #AgenticTrading# #Fintech# #GateAI# #Alpaca#

Tokenization has become one of crypto’s biggest narratives But @iyoshyoshi from @AlpacaHQ says assets shouldn’t be tokenized just for the sake of it Instead, tokenization should serve as part of the broader paradigm shift from traditional finance to onchain financial systems

Weekly NVIDIA Update SPACEX GOES ALL-IN ON NVIDIA $SPCX will build its AI services exclusively on $NVDA systems, Elon Musk said on SpaceX's first earnings call. "We think the Vera Rubin architecture is the best AI computer, and we're exclusive to Nvidia." SpaceX expects to exit 2026 above 2 gigawatts of compute and approach 10 gigawatts by the end of 2027, deploying Vera Rubin NVL72 racks on the ground and in orbit through its Starmind satellite program launching next year. CIS REGION'S LARGEST AI FACTORY OPENS IN ARMENIA Firebird opened its Hrazdan AI factory built on $NVDA accelerated computing and $DELL PowerEdge servers, going from plan to operating capacity in just over six months. The company plans more than 70,000 Rubin and Blackwell GPUs and 300MW of capacity in Armenia by the end of 2027, part of a roughly 2-gigawatt roadmap spanning Armenia, Kazakhstan and additional markets. NVIDIA OPENS ITS ROBOTAXI MODEL TO COMMERCIAL USE $NVDA released Alpamayo 2 Super, a 34-billion-parameter open reasoning model for autonomous driving, for commercial use. Weights are on Hugging Face under the Linux Foundation's OpenMDW-1.1 license, covering fine-tuning, derivative models and commercial redistribution. Developers can train on their own fleet data, distill into in-vehicle compute and ship, all under one license. The Alpamayo family has passed 500,000 downloads and ranks first on the LingoQA driving-reasoning benchmark.
