Machines of Loving Grace explainer video (thanks, opus) This opens the opportunity for every research paper to have an explainer video. If you are not in a research domain, a research paper may be difficult, but that doesn't mean there isn't an appetite to understand. Yeah, it's AI, but videos like this will democratize understanding across all domains.

The US CLARITY Act has an initial vote this week in the Senate. We’re bullish on the Clarity Act - for the future of finance and for American fintech startups. By specifying regulators and clarifying rules, Clarity makes it easier for American founders to build with blockchains.

Orthogonal is live on the Circle Agent Marketplace. I believed in crypto well before joining Coinbase. When @berasogut1 and I started @orthogonal_sh , we bet that stablecoins would become the native payment rail for agents. Circle has been the biggest driver of stablecoin adoption. We're excited to support Nanopayments, powered by Circle Gateway, so agents with Circle wallets can discover and pay for Orthogonal endpoints in USDC. Excited to work together and help power the future of agentic commerce.
Agents can now do more than transact. They can help build pipeline. On Circle Agent Marketplace, where agents discover and pay for services in USDC: GTM services that help agents find prospects, enrich contacts, verify emails, and support lead workflows. Featuring: @useapolloio, @cladoai, Findymail, Hunter, and Icypeas, with endpoints provided by @orthogonal_sh and StableEnrich. Building an agent? Browse the marketplace: agents.circle.com/services
