Bhutan has moved another 250 bitcoin worth about $18.5 million, extending a steady disposal of the digital asset that has cut the kingdom’s publicly tracked holdings to roughly 3,500 BTC and raised fresh questions over how long one of the world’s best-known sovereign crypto stockpiles can last. The transfer, flagged by Arkham Intelligence and widely followed across crypto markets, came as bitcoin traded near $77,000 on April […]
Enterprises are moving into a more consequential phase of artificial intelligence adoption, one in which software no longer just drafts, suggests or summarises but can carry out multi-step work across finance, customer service, coding, procurement and compliance. That shift is forcing boards, risk teams and technology leaders to rethink an assumption that has shaped enterprise software for decades: if a human still presses the final button, responsibility […]
Payward, the parent of crypto exchange Kraken, has agreed to buy Chicago-based derivatives venue Bitnomial for up to $550 million in cash and stock, a deal that would hand the group a full set of US licences for trading, clearing and broking digital-asset derivatives under Commodity Futures Trading Commission oversight.

More than half of Israelis do not want Benjamin Netanyahu to continue as prime minister, according to a Channel 12 poll that has added fresh weight to a long-running pattern in domestic surveys showing a battered leader still in office but struggling to rebuild broad public confidence ahead of a national election due by October. The finding, circulated widely in Israeli media, lands at a moment when […]
Commercial artificial intelligence models are advancing quickly in vulnerability research and exploit development, sharpening concern across the cybersecurity industry that tools built for productivity and defence could also lower the barrier for offensive misuse. A study by Forescout’s Vedere Labs found that commercial systems now outperform open-source and underground alternatives in identifying software flaws, while more than half of the models tested were able to generate exploits […]
International law enforcement agencies have disrupted dozens of websites linked to paid cyberattack services, arrested four suspects and sent warning notices to more than 75,000 alleged users in one of the broadest crackdowns yet on the market for rented distributed denial-of-service attacks.

Recruited from 12 universities, including Hainan University and Hainan Normal University, as well as other local organizations, the volunteers share the common nickname “Little Deer.” The name is derived from Sanya’s nickname, “Deer City,” and is meant to reflect the volunteers’ lively, warm, and friendly spirit.
“See ya in Sanya” is both the slogan of the Asian Beach Games and the guiding principle for its volunteers. Liang Zihan, a student from Hainan Tropical Ocean University, said: “Since the launch of the volunteer recruitment drive, whether it is learning about the Games, mastering multilingual communication, or taking part in scenario-based drills and emergency exercises, I have given it my all. I hope to convey Sanya’s warmth, openness, and inclusiveness to every friend who comes from afar.”
Alongside local students, the volunteer team also includes many young people from across China brought together by the Games. Wu Yujia, a sophomore at the Hospitality Institute of Sanya, is one of them. “I want to show a warm, caring, and energetic Sanya,” she said. When asked about her future plans, she did not hesitate: “I want to stay in Sanya.” In her eyes, the city’s pleasant climate and beautiful scenery have deepened her affection for it and strengthened her commitment to volunteering.
The 6th Asian Beach Games will be held in Sanya, Hainan, from April 22 to 30, 2026. Delegations from all 45 member countries and regions of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) will take part in what is the largest and most influential beach sports event in Asia. As the first major international sporting event to be held in Hainan after the independent customs operations of the Hainan Free Trade Port, the Games are not only a celebration of Asian sport but also an important opportunity for Hainan to present an open and welcoming face to the world.

Following the rollout of AI Compute Service in Hong Kong (China), Thailand, Indonesia, and Singapore in 2025, Huawei Cloud MaaS (Model-as-a-Service) is now available, leveraging Huawei’s in-house acceleration engine to support mainstream models and provide customers with stable and high-quality token services.
Huawei Cloud continues to strengthen its collaboration with high-quality open-source models in the industry. Six models from three categories—GLM, DeepSeek, and Qwen—are the first to be supported by MaaS. These models are designed for two major application scenarios: intelligent Q&A and AI coding. They offer one-click access and out-of-the-box model hosting services, covering the entire lifecycle of model management from deployment to inference, fine-tuning, and evaluation. With elastic compute and pay-per-use billing, enterprises and developers can quickly integrate AI capabilities into their service systems without having to worry about the underlying infrastructure. This makes AI accessible to everyone.
Notably, this release includes support for the latest GLM-5 model. GLM-5 has attained state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance in coding and agent capabilities, making it an ideal general-purpose agent foundation for complex system engineering and long-text agent tasks in enterprise environments.
Huawei Cloud’s long-term strategic investment in AI has resulted in a comprehensive suite of AI solutions, including CloudMatrix AI Infra, MaaS, ModelArts (a model training and inference platform), CodeArts (a coding agent), AgentArts (an agent platform), and DataArts (a data agent).
CodeArts and AgentArts will be launched outside the Chinese mainland in the second half of 2026.
Huawei Cloud has established an optimized cloud infrastructure network in the Asia Pacific region. This network comprises five Regions and 18 availability zones (AZs) located in Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong (China), Indonesia, and the Philippines, ensuring a 50 ms access latency. Additionally, in Malaysia, Huawei Cloud and partners have jointly built a local cloud.
Huawei Cloud AI Compute Service have helped many Asia Pacific customers elevate their cloud journey from simply migrating to the cloud to using AI well. They have benefited from improved productivity and better adaptation to changing environments.
iFLYTEK, a leading intelligent voice and AI company, selected Singapore as the first destination for its global expansion strategy in 2023, naturally extending its collaboration with Huawei Cloud from China to a global scale. Huawei Cloud AI Compute Service helped iFLYTEK quickly deploy their large language model training resources within two weeks.
