Hot CPI at 3.7% — and winter hasn't even started. With natural gas prices elevated, heating bills are about to bite. The Avalon Home Series is built for exactly this - Avalon Home Series’ distributors and resellers are helping their customers offset power costs with eco-friendly and affordable hash rates. @HomeMiningPod @heatpunks
Fresh stock just landed. Avalon Nano 3S, Mini 3, and Q are in hand and shipping at @altair_tech, right as the cold sets in. Good timing if you have been waiting to warm your house the smarter way.

Check out our founder NG Zhang's view on BTC mining/AI data centers! $CAN
The first piece of household AI infrastructure is already in the home. In a new op-ed, Canaan founder and CEO NG Zhang argues that Bitcoin mining has spent a decade solving the problem that AI is only now beginning to face. Read here: theenergymag.com/news/market… @TheEnergyMag

This is the Avalon Q on super mode, pushed hard for 12 hours and holding steady. 95 TH/s at 17.8 W/TH, straight from a real setup. Nothing beats seeing the numbers from an actual owner. Great share @MahsMining.
After running my @canaanio Avalon Q on super mode for 12 hours its mining at 95 th with an efficiency of 17.8 w/th. Pretty decent. #cryptomining #BitcoinMining

Bonnie Li 24 岁,署名过 Gemini、Genie 和 SIMA,现在去了 OpenAI。 Bonnie Li,9 月 16 日宣布加入 OpenAI 做 research scientist。她的原话是:第一次"felt the AGI",那天晚上再也睡不着了。 往回看她的起点有点离谱。2019 年她 17 岁,在蒙特利尔的 Mila 做强化学习研究,Yoshua Bengio 指导;同年登上 RE•WORK 峰会讲台,入选 30 Under 30 AI 女性新星。而她入门的方式是一门 Udacity 的网课——她 GitHub 上那几个仓库(Reacher、Tennis、Pyramid)正是那门课的作业。 之后在 McGill 读数学与计算机,在 Joelle Pineau 门下做本科科研,一作发了篇零样本泛化的强化学习论文。2022 年 1 月进 Google DeepMind,同年 12 月才本科毕业,2023 年 10 月转研究科学家。 在 DeepMind 她做的是世界模型和具身智能:Genie 2 的官方博客把她列为关键贡献者,SIMA 2 具名作者,Gemini 2.5 与 3 的技术报告上都有她。 现在她去 OpenAI 做"对齐的超级智能"。从一门网课到这里,七年。
Excited to share that I’ve recently joined @OpenAI! “Felt the AGI” for the first time - and couldn’t fall asleep afterwards. Honored to work towards aligned superintelligence. We live in extraordinary times, and the next few months will be critical.

AI is shifting personal computing from something you use to something that works for you 24/7. Our Avalon Home miners are more than home Bitcoin miners...they're a glimpse into tomorrow's personal computing. As AI becomes continuous rather than on-demand, Canaan's founder, NG Zhang, describes a world where every home runs its own private AI cloud: quiet, secure, and always available & running. The future of computing may not live in a data center. It may live beside your desk. 👉Avalon Home Series Available Here: canaan.io/product/avalon-hom… 🔗Watch the full interview: xitter.cf/canaanio/status/206727… #Bitcoin #AI #mining #data #datacenter #PC #Avalon #Canaanio #BTC
From the first Bitcoin ASIC in 2013 to heat reuse and grid integration today, NG covers a lot of ground here. Always a good conversation with @stephanlivera. Worth a listen.

THIS IS HUGE FOR BITCOIN Someone just bought a $4.2 million home using Bitcoin as collateral... without selling any Bitcoin. And it was backed by Fannie Mae. While the timeline obsesses over short-term price action, Bitcoin is quietly moving from “store of value” into real collateral inside the $50 trillion US housing market.

Thank you for recording my panel!
“People are no longer majorly pursuing more hashrate efficiency… but rather to use Bitcoin mining as the technology to tap into energy play in modern society.” — Leo Wang @herder1981 of @Canaanio Bitcoin mining is evolving beyond pure profitability. Stranded energy. Heat reuse. Grid balancing. Real-world energy applications. Are you reusing the heat from your miners? 🔥⛏️ AltairTech.io

In 2015, one chip changed what bitcoin mining could be. 28nm. 1 TH/s. Canaan sold it to anyone who wanted one. That decision built a community closed ecosystems never could.
