OpenAI has announced the release of gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b, its first open-weight AI models since GPT-2, marking a significant step toward democratizing AI development by making these models freely available under the Apache 2.0 license. These models, designed with advanced reasoning capabilities and robust safety features, allow developers to download and run them locally on devices such as Macs with Apple Silicon, offering flexibility for both individual and enterprise use. Developed with input from the AI community, gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b are compatible with OpenAI’s Responses API, enabling seamless integration into various applications, and are accessible through platforms like GitHub and Hugging Face. This release reflects [OpenAI’s shift toward greater transparency and collaboration](https://inleo.io/@uyobong/openai-unveils-gptoss-a-leap-in-openweight-ai-models-js), addressing previous criticisms of closed-source practices while empowering developers to innovate with customizable, high-performance AI models that rival proprietary systems.

**Companies Already Figuring Ways Around GENIUS Act**


<div class="pull-left">

Companies are already devising strategies to circumvent the newly enacted GENIUS Act, signed into law on July 18, 2025, which establishes the first comprehensive regulatory framework for stablecoins in the United States, requiring one-to-one backing with low-risk assets like U.S. dollars and imposing strict licensing, auditing, and transparency standards. The Act, intended to regulate stablecoin issuers and enhance consumer protection, is being undermined by firms exploiting loopholes, such as operating offshore or leveraging decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols to avoid compliance with its stringent reserve and regulatory requirements. This early resistance mirrors historical patterns of financial institutions evading regulations like the Glass-Steagall Act, raising concerns about the Act’s effectiveness in curbing fraud and ensuring market stability. While the GENIUS Act aims to foster innovation and clarity in the $250 billion stablecoin market, its enforcement challenges could limit its impact, potentially allowing non-compliant entities to continue operating and posing risks to consumers and the broader financial system.

Solana Mobile began global shipments of its second-generation Web3 smartphone, the Seeker, to over 50 countries, following over 150,000 pre-orders, a significant leap from the 20,000 units sold of its predecessor, the Saga. The Seeker, priced between $450 and $500, integrates advanced Web3 features, including a built-in crypto wallet, Seed Vault for secure key storage, a Solana dApp Store with over 100 apps, and the Seeker Genesis Token for exclusive ecosystem rewards. The device leverages the TEEPIN architecture for decentralized security and introduces Seeker ID for streamlined user authentication, aiming to bypass restrictive app store policies from tech giants like Apple and Google. [The Seeker, built with support for AI-driven tokenized agents](https://inleo.io/@uyobong/solana-mobiles-seeker-smartphone-with-web3-integrations-begins-global-shipments-9sa),  enhanced hardware specifications, such as a brighter screen, improved camera, and longer battery life, target crypto enthusiasts, developers, and blockchain gamers, positioning Solana Mobile as a leader in mobile-first Web3 innovation.
