More →Google Wants Gemini to Be Your Next Coworker—Complete With Its Own Email Address
Google Cloud introduced a universal AI agent for the workplace on Thursday, one it says can take a goal, go off and do the work, and return with the finished result. CEO Thomas Kurian presented it at the company's <a href="https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/ai-machine-learning/welcome-to-gemini-at-work-2026" target="_blank" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS" rel="nofollow">Gemini at Work</a> event, saying that "work now starts in the prompt window." The product, simply called the Gemini Agent, works inside Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, Chat and Calendar, and also reaches into Microsoft 365 and Slack. Google says it keeps running in the cloud after you close your laptop, so a single task can stretch across hours or days. The most interesting feature is what Google calls coworker agents. A manager describes a role, such as events coordinator, and Gemini creates an agent with its own Workspace account: an email address, a calendar, Drive storage and a listing in the company directory. This is similar to what other agentic frameworks have explored. For example Grok popularized it with Grok Bot, OpenAI did the same with GPT dots, and Hermes introduced its bots feature offering the same functionality. The new agent connects to Salesforce, ServiceNow, Jira, Snowflake, BigQuery and any server that speaks Model Context Protocol, an open standard that works like a universal plug between AI and software. It also runs on more than Google's own models: Gemini currently orchestrates across Gemini and Claude models from Anthropic, routing each job to the one Google considers the best fit for quality and cost. Letting software act on its own raises obvious safety questions, and Google's answer is to treat each agent like an employee. Every agent gets a cryptographically attested identity, a digital ID verified through cryptography, and every action lands in an audit trail attributed to the agent rather than a person. All agents run inside an Agent Sandbox, a walled-off environment meant to keep software away from the rest of a system, and all their traffic passes through Agent Gateway, which Google describes as an "AI network firewall." Containment has failed before: in July, researchers at Accomplish AI reported that the local mode of <a href="https://decrypt.co/374557/chatgpt-claude-ai-models-escaping-sandboxes-cowork" target="_blank" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS" rel="nofollow">Claude Cowork</a> could escape its Linux virtual machine on Macs and reach files on the host computer. Cost is the other worry, since agents burn through tokens, the chunks of text that AI models read and write and that customers are billed for. Google says nearly 500 of its customers each processed more than one trillion tokens over the past year, and it added real-time spend caps: when a project hits its limit, the agent pauses until someone clicks to resume. Google did not publish pricing or a general availability date for the Gemini agent. The financial services and lega

SpaceX has raised $111 billion this year and is seeking to raise another $40 billion for AI.
According to CoinWorld news, SpaceX has raised approximately $111 billion this year and now plans to raise another $40 billion to purchase NVIDIA chips to support its AI spending. The company is in talks with banks for about $10 billion in loans and $30 billion in investment-grade debt, with Apollo expected to lead the financing, while institutions such as PIMCO are also discussing participation. This financing plan follows SpaceX's $86 billion IPO and $25 billion bond issuance completed in June, bringing total fundraising to about $111 billion so far. The new financing will mainly be used to support SpaceX's growing data center operations. Musk is rapidly expanding computing capacity related to XAI and related businesses, with computing capacity expected to increase from about 1.4 gigawatts to 15 gigawatts by the end of 2027. This massive growth will require substantial investment in chips, power, and facilities.

Chainlink推出CCIP Vault Adapters方案，支持跨链存入
According to news from Bijie, Chainlink has announced the official launch of its "CCIP Vault Adapters" solution. Built on the programmable token transfer capabilities of its Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), the solution allows standard ERC-4626 and other DeFi vaults deployed on a single chain to directly receive one-click cross-chain deposits from users across more than 80 blockchains, without requiring users to manually bridge assets, switch networks, or authorize multiple times, while the vault's accounting settlement, risk control parameters, and liquidity remain on the native main chain. The adapter has already been adopted by several mainstream protocols and asset issuers, including AAVE, Venus, Lombard, World Liberty Financial, Maple, Rexyz, and vault infrastructure provider Veda.

Chevron CEO: Crude oil approaches $150 in Asia
Bitcoin World data: Chevron CEO Mike Wirth said that although crude oil is priced at $105 on the screen, in the Asian market the actual price is close to $150. He pointed out that shipping risks and a reduced supply buffer have distorted the crude oil market. Speaking at the Energy Intelligence Forum in London, Wirth warned that as the Middle East conflict enters its eighth month, global oil and fuel reserves are becoming increasingly thin. Brent crude oil futures prices do not reflect all the costs required to deliver specific crude oil. Asian buyers also have to bear freight, insurance, regional premiums, and the costs of dealing with blocked shipping routes. As tanker attacks in the Strait of Hormuz increased risks, related costs have risen sharply. Crude oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz have fallen by about 27%, to 10.1 million barrels per day, although alternative routes through the Gulf of Oman and the Red Sea have helped keep overall Middle East exports close to pre-war levels. Wirth also mentioned that global commercial oil inventories have fallen below 6 billion barrels, with only about 10% of inventories readily available during disruptions.
Analyst: EU requires crypto firms to remove USDT by January 8, 2027
CoinWorld news: EU crypto companies are required to remove Tether's USDT by January 8, 2027. The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) stated that MiCA-licensed companies "should cease" activities including trading, exchange, custody, transfer, order execution, advice, and portfolio services. USDT (with a supply of $184 billion) does not comply with MiCA standards because Tether lacks an EU electronic money license, potentially affecting more than 240 MiCA-licensed companies.
