@TheMadPsyntist @rwitoff @coinbase IOTX data finally flowing.. But still a handful of broken pairs Monday at 2pm.. *cough* ICP-USDT is still fucked.

@Chuyqa @rwitoff @coinbase Any idea what is going on with IOTX on Coinbase? It’s still in auction mode. For days now. Ridiculous

Yesterday @coinbase experienced a multi-hour service disruption affecting trading, exchange access, and balance updates. Here's our initial read from Coinbase engineering on what happened, how we recovered, and what we're addressing. At approximately 23:50 UTC on 2026-05-07, our monitoring detected cascading quote failures from internal services that triggered multiple Sev1 incidents that engineering immediately began investigating. Customer-facing impacts included spot trading, Prime, International and derivative exchanges. Root cause: a thermal event (cooling system failure) inside a subset of racks within a single building in AWS us-east-1. We run a primary replica of our exchange infrastructure in a single zone, consistent with industry standards to reduce latency. To prepare for failures like this, we maintain a distributed standby, but during this incident, failures in the primary zone that were designed to be isolated were not, extending the duration of our outage. The failure cascaded down two paths: 1. Multiple hardware components beneath our exchange’s matching engine failed, requiring recovery and failover 2. Distributed Kafka clusters that manage messaging across Coinbase systems failed to remain available, also requiring partition failovers to new hardware brokers with many TiBs of data After isolating the incident: automated tooling drained ~10 Kubernetes clusters worth of related workloads out of the affected zone to stabilize internal services. Most services were back to normal within ~30 minutes of diagnosis. The two things we couldn't automatically drain: the exchange (dedicated hardware and storage) and Kafka (managed service that was designed to be resilient to this, with unique problems). The exchange matching engine is the core system responsible for processing orders and maintaining order books. It is a distributed cluster and requires quorum to safely elect a leader and continue processing trading activity. During the incident, infrastructure-level constraints in the affected datacenter left only a subset of nodes healthy, preventing the cluster from reaching quorum. As a result, trading across Retail, Advanced, and Institutional exchanges were blocked. Recovery required our oncall and engineering teams to execute our disaster recovery plan, restore quorum safely, and validate system health under constrained infrastructure conditions. The team built, tested, deployed, and validated the fix while continuing to manage the broader incident. Kafka recovery was a much larger scale operation. Our primary managed Kafka partitions process many terabytes of data daily and are designed with resiliency guarantees for uninterrupted operation during a datacenter failure just like this. In this case, those guarantees failed and required manual recovery. We again relied on disaster recovery procedures to recover stuck partitions onto new hardware (brokers) that enabled us to safely bring x-service messaging back online across Coinbase. During the lag, customers saw delayed balance streams which resolved automatically once replication caught up. No data lost. Once the engine came back up as part of our standard runbooks, we re-opened markets carefully: all products to cancel-only mode first, audited product states, then moved all markets to auction mode, before restoring trading on Coinbase Exchange. What went right: the team. Incident response across the company came together within minutes, followed well-rehearsed playbooks and used secure automation tooling to recover all services. We have a strong, senior team at Coinbase that worked through rare failure modes to recover all services. To our customers: losing access to your account, even temporarily, is unacceptable. We know that. We're sorry, and we’ll publish a full root cause analysis in the coming weeks 🙏

@rwitoff @coinbase Fixed for most pairs.. IOTX is still sending bids 10x higher than the asks

@Chuyqa @coinbase Confirming this should now be fixed. Let us know if you run into anything else 🙏

@rwitoff @coinbase Exhibit 1: Crossing spread shows the bid 10x higher than the ask.

@rwitoff @coinbase You still have dozens of pairs sending bad data on ticker and l2 as of 2:39 PM Pacific. OP, IOTX, ICP.. list is rather long. Good luck getting this synced.

@ClementDelangue That seems to only work for GGUF? Would be nice to see for AWQ and others

300,000 AI builders have already added their hardware to HF to instantly see what model they can run locally. To do so, go to huggingface.co/settings/local… and add your hardware specs. You can even show off publicly by adding it to your HF profile! Let's go local AI!

@amasad I was calling out slopsquatting before it was a thing

@amasad Example vulnerable search: Any attacker can register that package, and then #chatgpt is prompting you to install a malicious package.

Ghostwriter in the chat, in the code, and in the tests. With the quantity of AI am using while coding, you'd think am a cyborg.

@tmuxvim It's been incredibly annoying. It feels like it was trained on youtube videos with a surprised open mouth.

has anyone else noticed that GPT-5.4 often ends its responses with like, clickbait? it often promise to reveal "the one surprising X that will do Y" or something like that

@zvlasov > MCP Is dead Indeed, Clean API Docs > MCP. Funny to kraken, okx, and unusualwhales all release an MCP this week just as the ai labs phasing away from it blog.kraken.com/news/industry-… okx.com/learn/agent-tr…

1Q 2026 vibe check. Everyone is: - battling with openClaws and what tasks to give it - building in public: “$0 → $1m ARR vibecoding” - voice → text or → code - web3 died. But agentic-native web rising. CLIs & APIs for agents. MCPs not cool anymore - agentic ecommerce, x402 - crypto wallet apps slowly turning into neo-banks. Now offering yield on deposits + crypto cards - prediction markets reaching retail like memecoins wanted to but failed - gambling every possible asset on hyperliquid. Running out of things to tokenize - clipping - injecting peptides - "receptor resetting and modulating drugs aren't drugs!" - not drinking alcohol or smoking sigs, but using weed, nic pouches, vapes. - tired of winning

@Teknium Y'all seriously cooked something with Hermes A "Show full Dangerous Command" option would be incredibly useful instead of the 80 char cap btw :) #L189" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/NousResearch/h…

@Polymarket 1.6 Million Printed books in the Vatican. 80,000 manuscripts. 521 million pages × 300 words/page ≈1.56 × 10¹¹ words x 1.3 tok/word ≈200B tokens. x (1/30 tok/param) ~ 7B parameters. The Vatican should drop their own 7B Model this year.

@Jason @grok How bad of an idea is it to give my clawdbot a Reachy Mini and a 3D printer?

@__tinygrad__ @grok For OpenBLAS, cuBLAS, and rocBLAS, is there no way to avoid the intermediate deepcopy/materialization?

Everyone knows about Flash Attention. But do you know about Flash GEMM? This code computes (A @ B) @ C on NxN matrices with N intermediates and no recomputation. If you don't use a BLAS library, you don't need to materialize the intermediate matrix.

@JoeRappp @Gemini Some rough analytics on x and reddit shows you guys are getting hammered with 4-5k tickets/day this week.. (Auto increment ticket id)... Whoever rolled out that latest ML that keeps firing false positives owes your support team (and geminiInst partners) a beer 🤣

Makeover on the new @Gemini app upgrade!!! 🔥

@jeremyphoward @__tinygrad__ This seems like it would prevent Hotz from opening issues against their github as he works on getting MLPerf running... But his issues have saved hundreds if not 1000s of debugging hours.

@__tinygrad__ If you get AMD on MLPerf, wouldn't they want as many people as possible to know about it? And wouldn't they love getting lots of help to get there from open source contributors? What is confidentiality getting them?!?

We've been negotiating a $2M contract to get AMD on MLPerf, but one of the sticking points has been confidentiality. Perhaps posting the deliverables on X will help legal to get in the spirit of open source!
