Cardano (ADA) Live On-Chain DEX Battle: Real-Time Swaps, Liquidity Shifts, and Arbitrage Dashboard Upgrade

According to @ItsDave_ADA, live on-chain data over the last hour shows real DEX swaps, real transactions, and resulting liquidity changes on Cardano, captured directly from the syncing ledger with no simulations or replays (source: @ItsDave_ADA on X). According to @ItsDave_ADA, his DEX battle view reveals that competition on Cardano is active—liquidity competes, routing competes, and execution quality matters—and DEXs contending for flow is a good signal the network is being actively used (source: @ItsDave_ADA on X). According to @ItsDave_ADA, he upgraded his arbitrage dashboard to combine swap execution, pool state changes, monitoring, and analytics in one place, emphasizing that Cardano’s determinism makes state transitions predictable, traceable, and verifiable for reliable operations over time (source: @ItsDave_ADA on X). According to @ItsDave_ADA, these observations highlight real-time liquidity routing and execution dynamics traders can monitor directly on-chain to evaluate DEX performance on Cardano (source: @ItsDave_ADA on X).

Santiment: Bitcoin (BTC) Crowd Turns Fearful as Sub 60k Mentions Surge, Contrarian Signal for a Short Term Relief Rally

According to @santimentfeed, Bitcoin discussions have shifted from calling for a bounce to speculating how low BTC could go, with social metrics showing a rise in mentions of lower price ranges versus higher ones (source: @santimentfeed). According to @santimentfeed, its chart tracks mentions of 50k-59k versus 90k-99k ranges, where higher-range mentions signal greed and lower-range mentions signal fear (source: @santimentfeed). According to @santimentfeed, this fear-heavy crowd positioning supports a contrarian case for a short term relief rally while many retail traders assume sub 60k BTC is a given (source: @santimentfeed). According to @santimentfeed, traders can monitor sentiment spikes as potential inflection cues within this framework (source: @santimentfeed). (Source)

FP8 Training on NVIDIA H100 Cuts Time to GPT-2 to 2.91 Hours and Drops Cost Near 20 Dollars, According to @karpathy

According to @karpathy, enabling FP8 training in the nanochat GPT-2 reproduction delivered a 4.3 percent improvement in time to GPT-2, reducing training to 2.91 hours on a single 8x H100 node. According to @karpathy, at spot pricing an 8x H100 run can cost about 20 dollars, while a previous 3.04 hour run cost about 73 dollars, highlighting roughly a 600 times cost reduction versus OpenAI’s original GPT-2 training. According to @karpathy, FP8 on H100 offers 2 times theoretical FLOPs but practical gains are limited by scaling conversion overhead, partial non compute bound training, and small GEMMs at GPT-2 scale, yielding about 7.3 percent per step speedup and roughly 5 percent net after adjusting the training horizon. According to @karpathy, torchao reported a 25 percent FP8 speedup on Llama3 8B, implying larger models may benefit more, and he expects further gains by selectively applying FP8 to layers and tightening numerics. According to @karpathy, additional wins came from Flash Attention 3, the Muon optimizer, gated residual and skip connections, and value embeddings, and he published a reproducible setup and a time to GPT-2 leaderboard on GitHub.
