Cardano Introduces CIP-0113 Compliance Token Standard ↗

The Cardano Foundation has introduced the CIP-0113 token standard, which allows issuers of compliant assets such as stablecoins, funds, and bonds to restrict recipients, freeze or confiscate held assets, and enforce identity and sanctions screening for all transfers without relying on hard forks; rules are selected or customized by issuers and can be updated in line with regulatory changes; tools such as Eternl and GeroWallet already support this standard.

GAMEGO: Training Game Development Agents with Synthetic Trajectories Anchored in Real Assets ↗

This paper proposes the GAMEGO framework, which transforms short game seeds into complete product requirement documents compliant with industry practices via task-specific dynamic compression. It constructs the GameGoData dataset containing 55,060 development trajectories and the GameGoBench benchmark with 124 queries. Based on this, the GameGoCoder model is trained, outperforming baseline models and rivaling frontier models in game development evaluations; code, datasets, and models will be open-sourced.

RadOnc-Agent: An LLM Orchestration Agent Framework for the Entire Radiotherapy Workflow ↗

RadOnc-Agent is an agent framework designed for the entire radiotherapy workflow. It divides the clinical pathway into four stages and coordinates 26 callable functions through a large language model controller, supporting cross-stage workflow execution. In tests involving 2,600 single-function requests, 200 synthetic cross-stage scenarios, and 120 real patient workflows, the function selection accuracy reached 98.79%, with cross-stage process completion rates of 96.50% and 96.67%, respectively. Ablation studies indicate that longitudinal state maintenance and schema validation are critical to system reliability.

Medical Image Alignment Assessment as a Test of Generalist Visual Reasoning in Frontier Multimodal Models ↗

The paper proposes medical image alignment assessment as a new task for testing the general visual reasoning capabilities of frontier multimodal large language models (MLLMs), examining their ability to judge anatomical consistency without task-specific fine-tuning; GPT-6 achieves over 85% accuracy in most scenarios, while models released several months ago perform near random levels, and fine-tuned local models show significantly worse generalization.

catbus open-sourced: A CLI tool for operating 10 platforms including Xiaohongshu, Douyin, Bilibili, and X ↗

cvcat released the open-source command-line tool catbus, supporting operations such as search, details, comments, users, recommendation feeds, downloads, publishing, direct messages, and live stream bullet comments across 10 platforms: Xiaohongshu, Douyin, TikTok, Bilibili, Kuaishou, Weibo, Xianyu, Taobao, JD.com, and X. The command structure is unified (e.g., catbus xhs item search 露营), output is in JSON format, it relies only on Node, supports multi-platform architectures, and ensures local isolation of login states with no telemetry. The capabilities originate from cv-cat's 10 open-source repositories, all rewritten in TypeScript. GitHub address: https://github.com/cv-cat/catbus, MIT license.

Abstract L2 to Shut Down on December 15: Igloo, Parent Company of Pudgy Penguins, Ends 18-Month L2 Cash Burn Experiment ↗

Igloo Inc., the parent company of Pudgy Penguins, announced that its Ethereum L2 network, Abstract, will shut down its mainnet on December 15, 2026, after which unmigrated assets will become inaccessible. The chain operated for 18 months, incurring losses of tens of millions of dollars. Despite having 400,000 users, 4 million wallets, 144 applications, and brand partnerships with Red Bull Racing and Disney, it failed to establish a DeFi ecosystem or generate sustainable revenue. Igloo chose not to issue a token to extend its lifespan, instead focusing on Pudgy Penguins and the PENGU token. Concurrently, Blast also shut down, highlighting the industry reality that L2 projects struggle to survive whether they have 'funding but no users' or 'users but no funding.'

Qualcomm Sues Arm Seeking 5-Year Royalty Suspension and Mandatory Licensing of V10 Instruction Set ↗

Qualcomm filed a lawsuit against Arm in Delaware state court, alleging that Arm failed to deliver chip testing tools and leaked a letter terminating the license, thereby damaging Qualcomm's partnership with Meta. Qualcomm is seeking a suspension of royalty payments for the next 5 years (potentially amounting to billions of dollars) and demanding that Arm fulfill its obligation to negotiate in good faith regarding the V10 instruction set architecture. Arm has fully denied the allegations, stating that Qualcomm is using litigation as leverage and that no actual damages have occurred.
