HTX's Annual Crypto Gala Concludes: Presenting 9 Major Awards and Bestowing 35,000 USDT to Honor Crypto Trailblazers

HTX

On January 24, 2024, the Award Ceremony for the 2024 HTX Crypto Ecosystem Annual Gala took place to honor the most influential individuals, projects, and events that made a lasting impact on the crypto industry throughout the year 2023. HTX takes the spotlight as the host, backed by the support of media partners including Jinse Finance, Foresight News, PANews, MarsBit, and TechFlow. The event is graced by a significant presence of Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs). Besides, HTX Live orchestrated a live stream of the entire grand ceremony, with the broadcast being transmitted through various media platforms such as MarsBit, CF Blockchain, and iCloser. The live stream attracted an impressive audience, amassing over 150,000 views. Justin Sun, a member of the HTX Global Advisory Board, was invited to attend the event and deliver a speech. He emphasized that HTX has successfully hosted award ceremonies for the crypto ecosystem for two consecutive years. These events not only serve to honor crypto elites but also stand as a testament to the collective dedication of the industry as a whole. He added that the year 2023 marked his first full year with HTX, a period filled with various challenges and hardships. Looking ahead to 2024, he aspires to lead HTX on a distinctive path within the crypto space. According to Sun's analysis, although exchanges such as HTX and Binance have implemented Merkle Tree PoR, many others still exhibit lower transparency and higher centralization in their operations. The establishment of HTX DAO aims to enable users to believe that they are the true owners of HTX. In the future, efforts will be directed at refining the representative election process and welcoming more ecological users and community members to actively participate in the governance of HTX DAO. Furthermore, Sun believes that decentralization is an inevitable trend in the crypto industry. With the launch and successful operation of HTX DAO, it is expected that more exchanges will embark on the journey towards decentralization. In the live stream of the ceremony, a total prize amount equivalent to nearly 35,000 USDT in $HTX has been distributed, and nine major awards were presented. These awards include the Most Influential Event Award (Top 10), Concepts with the Greatest Market Potential Award (Top 10), the Most Influential Web3 Media Award (Top 10), the Most Popular Content Creator (Affiliate) Award (Top 100), the Most Popular Web 3 Social Media Influencer Award (Top 200), the Best Community Partner Collaboration Award, the Best Partner Award, Top Client Excellence Award, and the Top Trending Crypto Among Users Award (Top 10). Additionally, HTX distributed 1,000 Red Packets, each worth 10 USDT in $HTX, and 100,000 Gift Packs, each worth 88 USDT, to users watching the live stream on HTX Live.

The final winners were chosen through a blend of user votes and HTX's official evaluation. The overarching goal of these awards is to recognize influencers contributing to positive changes in the crypto ecosystem and to express gratitude to HTX's loyal users and esteemed partners. According to HTX, the cryptocurrency market exhibited a positive trend throughout 2023, attributed to a combination of internal and external factors. HTX closely follows the market pace, actively exploring new assets and projects. The wealth effect of newly listed assets has significantly improved, and there have even been rare instances of assets multiplying their value by hundreds of times. In the meantime, HTX has undergone a rebranding, breathing new life into the exchange with a new international brand image. Thanks to the support and trust of the community, HTX has garnered the confidence to confront an uncertain future, ultimately achieving this impressive accomplishment. During the transition from a bear market to a bull market, there has been an observed enhancement in the overall economic situation and emerging innovations within the crypto sphere. These trends suggest an anticipation for the imminent arrival of a new bullish market cycle. Narratives surrounding cryptocurrencies have become increasingly diverse and enriched, fueled by a confluence of favorable factors. These include the anticipation of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, the approval of Bitcoin spot ETFs, the Bitcoin halving, Ethereum's Cancun upgrade, and the emergence of numerous new sectors and concepts within the crypto space. HTX wishes to take this opportunity to express gratitude and recognition to creators, live streamers, KOLs, and partners for their remarkable contributions to the platform's development, encouraging them to keep creating more compelling content.

The best generative AI solutions of 2024

AIport

January 25, 2024 — Ever since ChatGPT burst onto the scene in the fall of 2022, generative AI (GenAI) solutions have continued to disrupt industries with their surprising and never-before-seen features. Many of the generative AI solutions we hear about today are based on large language models (LLM), which allow them to successfully communicate with end users. Every such model has to be pre-trained on vast amounts of data and then fine-tuned using a variety of different methods. As we’re approaching the end of January, let’s look at the list of the most noteworthy of these models and explore the generative AI solutions they power. Compiled by the AIport newsletter team, this list is by no means exhaustive, but it is a review of what we believe are the LLM-based generative AI solutions and tools that are likely to make headlines this year. GPT (OpenAI and Microsoft) Expectedly, the first LLM on our list with some of the highest expectations this year is at the core of ChatGPT from OpenAI. GPT wasn’t the first LLM out there (there had been others like BERT ), but it was certainly the first one that resulted in a market-ready GenAI product. The original GPT model (Generative Pretrained Transformers) had 170 billion parameters, while the latest version, GPT-4, boasts over 1.75 trillion. The model’s applications are far and wide, being the basis not only for ChatGPT, but also Microsoft’s Bing Chat, which is now part of the Copilot infrastructure. While ChatGPT remains arguably the most impressive text-producing GenAI tool, Bing Chat (unlike ChatGPT) has internet access, making it ideal for web browsing. In addition, the same core GPT model is being utilized by other entities — from Panasonic Connect in Japan, OCBC Bank’s ChatGPT in Singapore, and KPMG’s KaiChat in Germany to the UK government’s upcoming GOV.UK chat. Notably, GPT is also a vital part of OpenAI’s DALL-E suite — a solution that generates images based on descriptions from text. PaLM and Gemini (Google) The next one on our list is Google’s PaLM (Pathways Language Model). The model, boasting 540 billion parameters, was first successfully tested in the spring of 2022. A year later, PaLM 2 was announced and subsequently integrated into Bard — Google’s GenAI chatbot — becoming available to test users around the world. Bard is considered among the finest solutions for productivity, having internet access like Bing Chat, but being less about navigating the web and more about answering burning questions. Bard was seriously bolstered at the end of last year with Google’s highly anticipated launch of the multimodal LLM, Gemini, which had been trained on images and audio/video files, not just text. The jury is still out on how far this update will take Bard, but the expectations are very high indeed. LLaMA (Meta, Microsoft, and Hugging Face) LLaMA (Large Language Model Meta AI) from Meta was released in February last year. However, the 65-billion-parameter model was leaked online as a downloadable torrent only a week later. While the model did not lead to any ChatGPT-like products at Meta, another AI company — Hugging Face — picked it up and released Hugging Chat. Offering internet access, this GenAI solution has been praised as “the first open source alternative to ChatGPT” with a snarky sense of humor. Not to be outdone, Meta partnered with Microsoft to produce LLaMA 2 in July of last year. Following that, the company announced a beta release of Meta AI at the end of September — a GenAI chatbot, currently available in the US, that can “provide real-time information and generate photorealistic images” from text prompts. This solution is expected to reach Meta users across the rest of the globe later in the year. Claude (Anthropic) Our next LLM is made by Anthropic, and it’s named Claude. Founded in 2021, the company along with its language model may be a less familiar name to most non-geeks. But this is likely to change in 2024. That’s the case not only because the latest version of the namesake GenAI chatbot released last year can now process long PDF files of up to 75,000 words, taking moments to summarize entire books. But also because this has already caught the attention of both Google and Amazon who are keen to invest $2 and $4 billion respectively. While Claude doesn’t offer internet access, its processing power, namely input character memory, outpowers every competitor by a wide margin, including ChatGPT. And the company is said to be working on yet more handy features as we speak. HyperCLOVA X (Naver) HyperCLOVA X is both the LLM and the namesake GenAI chatbot released by the South Korean search engine giant, Naver, last August. Boasting over 200 billion parameters, the LLM is being used mainly for AI-assisted web browsing, much like Bing Chat. While HyperCLOVA X doesn’t speak English, the chatbot’s proficiency in Korean is impressive, having learned 6,500 more Korean words than ChatGPT. In addition to answering user queries, HyperCLOVA X has been designed to offer AI assistance to businesses across numerous sectors — from finance to gaming. Naver is also presently working to make HyperCLOVA X multimodal, following in the footsteps of Google’s Gemini, so another big international headline is likely on the way. Pangu (Huawei) Last spring, Huawei, one of the global tech leaders, unveiled Pangu — an LLM with 1.085 trillion parameters in over 40 natural and programming languages. This LLM now powers the Chinese company’s GenAI assistant called Celia, which resides within Huawei’s HarmonyOS 4 operating system. Supposedly, Celia has already outperformed both Siri and Google Assistant as a phone-based virtual assistant in terms of prompt execution accuracy, such as finding specific photos and documents stored on a device. And as more Huawei smartphones are being churned out, Celia is expected to reach more global users this year with further refinements to the Pangu model. In addition, Pangu is available through Huawei Cloud for commercial use. According to a statement from the company’s leadership, the newest Pangu 3.0 utilizes hierarchical architecture, allowing it to be quickly fine-tuned for a wide range of downstream applications (including Huawei’s autonomous vehicle solutions ), which we’ll surely see more of in 2024. MiLM-6B (Xiaomi) Next up is another Chinese company, Xiaomi — one of the largest phone manufacturers in the world. The company made an entry into the LLM race last summer with its MiLM-6B, a lightweight model created for mobile devices. Boasting 6.4 billion parameters, MiLM-6B has reportedly outperformed rivals in its category and achieved notable scores from evaluation platforms like C-Eval and CMMLU. Xiaomi’s leadership has been vocal for some time about integrating LLMs into its smartphones. It appears that the company’s virtual assistant, Xiao AI, has now finally become a fully fledged GenAI chatbot, generating over 11 words per second. By this metric, despite operating locally on the phone, Xiao AI has matched the performance of some LLMs running on cloud computing services. It’ll be interesting to see whether Xiao AI gets assimilated into the company’s other products, as the rumors suggest, including the recently announced Xiaomi SU7, an autonomous-enabled electric sedan. YandexGPT (Yandex) The final entry on our list is an LLM named YandexGPT from the Russian search engine Yandex. The namesake GenAI solution with 100 billion parameters was beta-released in May last year. The more recent release of YandexGPT2 has demonstrated a 65% improvement in response quality, with a 1.5-fold increase in training data. Interestingly, this GenAI solution was tested and scored enough points to enter a Russian university. YandexGPT was also integrated into Yandex’s flagship virtual assistant named Alice, as well as the company’s smart speakers. Furthermore, the LLM has allowed the company’s e-shoppers to view summarized customer reviews in one place. With YandexGPT at the core, the company now also offers visual GenAI solutions, YandexART and Shedevrum, that can generate images from text, much like Open AI’s DALL-E. Currently, the LLM is also being merged with Yandex Search to offer the end user something similar to Bing Chat and HyperCLOVA X. It’s likely that we’ll see a new announcement pertaining to this development later in the year. New kids on the block Apart from the above entries on our list, several brand new LLMs along with their GenAI solutions are expected to arrive any day from other big players. Among them are Samsung from South Korea, Tencent from China, as well as Amazon and Apple. In fact, Apple already has an internal AI chatbot for employees, but its much-talked-about AppleGPT based on the company’s LLM, Ajax, is said to be around the corner. Amazon began to offer a service for building AI chatbots called Lex a while ago, but more notably, the company recently announced its upcoming GenAI solution tailored for commercial use. Japan doesn’t intend to be left behind either — at least three major LLM initiatives are currently being played out. Among them is a joint project between Fujitsu, RIKEN, Tokyo Tech, and Tohoku University who are developing a series of LLMs using one of the world’s most powerful supercomputers, Fugaku. In addition, both NTT and SoftBank are reportedly in the final stages of developing their “homegrown” LLMs. While much remains unclear and covered in mist (or is it gray goo 😉), one thing is certain — 2024 is going to be the most AI-intense year we have seen yet!

HTX to Initiate the $HT to $HTX Conversion for a New Chapter of Decentralized Governance

HTX

Singapore, January 24, 2024 - HTX, the cryptocurrency trading platform, is set to list HTX DAO's governance token, $HTX, and support converting $HT to $HTX. This move signifies the decade-long exchange's full adoption of the decentralized governance approach, ushering in a new era where industry-wide users are a part of the decision-making process. Announcement link: https://www.htx.com/support/en-us/detail/104958763476521 $HT to $HTX Conversion: Redefining the Cryptocurrency Exchange HTX DAO, an open, transparent decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), plays a pivotal role in the empowerment of the HTX exchange with profound market insights and robust community-driven strength. On the occasion of the establishment of HTX DAO, Justin Sun, a member of HTX's Global Advisory Board, emphasized that platform tokens are a groundbreaking innovation in the blockchain industry. He noted that these tokens, recognized as a new asset class, fostered a new sector that had flourished the entire crypto space. However, Sun stressed that empowering platform tokens should not merely focus on simple moves such as exchange buybacks and the burning mechanism for the public chain platform tokens. Instead, these tokens should delve deeper into the key aspects of exchange businesses, including decision-making, governance, and operations for genuine decentralization, he added. According to HTX's official announcement, the service of converting $HT to $HTX will be available starting on January 22, 2024, at 08:00 (UTC). $HT holders can log in to their HTX accounts and exchange $HT for $HTX with a simple click of Confirm to Convert on the conversion page. Users have the choice to complete the conversion at any time between January 22, 2024, 08:00 (UTC) and January 20, 2025, 08:00 (UTC). After January 20, 2025, 08:00 (UTC), HTX will no longer provide conversion services. Additionally, users can choose to make conversions through the HTX app or website. The $HT to $HTX conversion channel is accessible via the app (Home/Assets/Trade pages) or website (Activity/Assets/Trade on the navigation bar). On the conversion page, enter your desired amount of $HT to be converted in the upper field. Then, the corresponding amount of $HTX you can receive will be displayed in the lower field. Tap Confirm to Convert to start a conversion and tap Claim when your $HTX is available to get your $HTX credited to your Spot account. Explore Ways to Build New Order Through $HTX As the governance token of HTX DAO, $HTX seeks to catalyze a vibrant ecosystem by facilitating decentralized decision-making and granting the voting right. This will motivate every participant to play their crucial role in shaping decentralization governance and blockchain innovation. However, the achievement of the new order never happens overnight. In the transition phase, $HTX will inherit certain features and benefits from $HT. As per HTX's official announcement, benefits regarding $HT will be migrated to $HTX on February 2, 2024, at 06:00 (UTC), enabling users' continuous privileges. This includes: 1. Replacing "Reduce spot/futures fees with HT Deduction" with "Reduce spot/futures fees with HTX Deduction" The benefits of offsetting spot and futures trading fees as well as margin loan interest with $HT will be ceased starting on January 22, 2024, at 05:00:00 (UTC). Meanwhile, starting from February 2, 2024, at 06:00:00 (UTC), users holding $HTX will be able to enjoy the following benefits when the fee discount options are chosen in My Fee Rates: a 25% discount on spot trading fees, a 5% discount on futures trading fees, and deduction of margin loan interest with $HTX. 2. Prime membership level boosted by holding $HTX, instead of $HT The Prime membership level-up through holding $HT will be discontinued on January 22, 2024. At the same time, starting from February 3, 2024, at 00:00:00 (UTC), $HTX assets (converted to USDT at the closing price of a day and multiplied by 1.5) will be counted towards users' total assets of the previous day, which facilitates the Prime advancement. 3. Rockets multiplied by $HTX, instead of $HT On January 22, 2024, the $HT multiplier for Rocket calculation will no longer be effective. Instead, Rockets will be boosted by holding $HTX, effective on February 3, 2024 at 00:00:00 (UTC). Users holding $HTX will enjoy the benefit of $HTX asset value multiplied by 3 in USDT towards the calculation of Rockets. 4. Replacing "Convert small balances to HT" with "Convert small balances to HTX" The feature of "Convert small balances to HT" will be discontinued on January 22, 2024, at 05:00:00 (UTC) while the new feature of "Converting small balances to HTX" will be launched on February 2, 2024, at 06:00:00 (UTC). Revolution of the Centralized Exchange The operations of centralized exchanges across the entire cryptocurrency industry remain highly centralized. Platform token holders have no say in governance such as crypto listings. HTX reportedly aims to become the first decentralized exchange and the first democratically autonomous exchange, and all of this will be realized through HTX DAO. In the future, as a governance token, $HTX will explore more features and application scenarios, assisting HTX DAO in enhancing the transparency and efficiency of HTX for blockchain governance. It will help establish a more open, diverse, free, and innovative cryptocurrency ecosystem, differentiating HTX DAO from traditional cryptocurrency projects and exchanges. As Justin Sun stated, "HTX DAO will give a second life to HTX, and the belief of 'the People's Exchange' will grow as the core spirit of HTX. It is destined to be a revolution for the centralized exchange." About HTX Founded in 2013, HTX has evolved over a decade from a simple cryptocurrency exchange to a comprehensive blockchain business ecosystem. This expansion covers a wide range of services including digital asset trading, financial derivatives, wallets, research, investments, incubation, and more. As a world-leading portal to Web 3.0, HTX is committed to a growth strategy focused on global expansion, ecological prosperity, wealth effect, and safety and compliance. This approach enables us to offer comprehensive, safe, and reliable services and value to virtual currency enthusiasts around the world, reinforcing our position as a global gateway to Web3.

Other features will include customized report-writing services for bank clientele, investors, management, and regulatory agencies. Building on its successful track record, today, the company also announced its intention to conduct a public offering of digital tokens representing an interest in unmined, in situ proven gold reserves, with a target amount of up to $100 million. The offering is set to begin in the second quarter of 2024. This Notice does not constitute an offer to sell the digital tokens or any securities.

Research Collaboration Validates MyAnIML’s AI-Powered, Facial Recognition Cattle Predictive Health Platform

MyAnIML

A collaborative study between animal agtech startup MyAnIML and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) successfully corroborated the technology's predictive ability to proactively manage devastating disease outbreaks in cattle production. MyAnIML used proprietary facial recognition and deep learning technology to accurately predict Infectious Bovine Keratoconjunctivitis (IBK), or bovine pinkeye, 99.4% of the time and several days before veterinarians were able to detect symptoms, according to published study results. USDA Agricultural Research Service scientists Mike Clawson and Larry Kuehn, who have researched IBK for years at the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center, shared their expertise on the project. “Early detection of disease is critical to healthy herd management – giving producers the chance to separate sick animals, control spread and judiciously use antibiotics before a large outbreak occurs,” said Mike Clawson, an USDA Agricultural Research Service molecular biologist and project researcher. “The results of the MyAnIML study demonstrate how far and how impactful AI-powered technology can be toward ensuring a safe, resilient and sustainable U.S. food supply chain.” The MyAnIML and USDA study included 870 beef cattle located on three different Kansas ranches during the summers of 2021 and 2022. Bovine pinkeye is highly contagious and the most common ocular disease of cattle globally, costing U.S. producers alone an estimated $150 million annually in lost performance and treatment costs. There are no effective vaccines for IBK, forcing producers to treat infected animals with antibiotics, thereby elevating the risk of developing antibiotic-resistance bacteria strains that threaten human health. Building off this collaboration, MyAnIML and USDA are applying the technology next to predict Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD). As the single most economically impactful cattle disease, BRD costs the U.S. feedlot industry potentially more than $900 million annually, according to the American Society of Animal Science. “Building off our AI platform’s ability to distinguish between ‘healthy’ and ‘sick’ cattle two to three days before symptoms were diagnosed, the next step is expanding MyAnIML’s repertoire of diseases and health events to offer producers new tools to ensure a safe food supply,” said Shekhar Gupta, MyAnIML CEO and founder. MyAnIML’s patent-pending technology platform uses AI, facial recognition and inexpensive GoPro cameras to automatically capture and analyze subtle changes in a cow’s muzzle. Like a human fingerprint, each cattle muzzle is unique, and can be used to track specific cows. However, MyAnIML, is the first to use muzzle dermatoglyphics to not only identify cows, but as a health predictor of diseases such as BRD, IBK, foot root and uterine infections, proving that subtle changes in the bumps and ridges on a cow muzzle are a precursor of a health event. MyAnIML’s trial partners have also successfully used the technology to monitor the health status of cows going into estrus, early stages of labor and even subtle health stressors, like the need for more nutrition while nursing calves. "The muzzle is an incredible mirror into cattle health and well-being. Humans just didn’t have the ability to ‘see’ what the muzzle was telling us without the help of MyAnIML’s advanced AI and facial recognition technology,” Gupta said. Since its founding in 2021, MyAniML has: Developed a proprietary dataset of 3000 muzzle images of beef cattle, the first cattle facial and muzzle image library for health management. Partnered in trial projects with multiple Midwest cattle production facilities. Released an inexpensive Bluetooth-enabled “smart” ear tag and app that helps large-scale commercial feedlots and stockyards quickly locate potentially sick animals identified by the MyAnIML predictive platform. Signed a partnership agreement with DairyFi an India-based startup, in January. With 308 million cows, India has the largest cattle herd in the world, but suffers from lack of adequate cattle health services, greatly reducing the economic and productivity potential of India’s cattle industry. With positive results from the collaboration, large-scale trials, veterinarian feedback and ongoing product development, MyAnIML is getting ready for broad-scale commercialization. The company received angel investment funding in 2021 and is currently in the process of a seed funding investment round to expand its technology in cattle, as well as to include other livestock and companion animals. About MyAnIML MyAnIML invented and is commercializing the first-of-its-kind platform for early disease prediction in cattle using facial recognition technology focused on a cow’s muzzle. The initial discovery is the product of intense curiosity and a sense of purpose by the founder, a leading expert in generative AI and emerging uses of web-based blockchain technology. MyAnIML’s mission is to help ensure the health and well-being of cattle while ensuring an affordable and safe food supply. For more information www.myaniml.com.
