Bitdeer has commenced sales of its SEALMINER A4 series bitcoin mining rigs. The flagship model of the new series boasts an energy efficiency of 9.45 J/TH. The @SealMiner A4 Series has officially launched.Up to 900 TH/s. As low as 9.45 J/TH.Explore the full lineup 🛠️ https://t.co/F4mQD3g8vj#Bitcoin #BitcoinMining #BTC #Hashrate #MiningRig pic.twitter.com/egF0PtuzNK— Bitdeer (@BitdeerOfficial) April 7, 2026 The device in question is the ASIC miner A4 Ultra Hydro. It is designed for installation in standard server racks and provides a hashrate of 886 TH/s. The lower-end model, SEALMINER A4 Pro Hydro, shares a similar form factor and delivers 680 TH/s with an energy efficiency of 10.9 J/TH. Both units are intended for use in hydro-cooling systems and, according to the manufacturer, maintain operational stability across extreme temperatures ranging from -20°C to 55°C. “Regardless of the environment, the main components remain in the ‘optimal comfort zone’ to achieve maximum efficiency,” the description states. The A4 Pro Air miner, featuring air cooling, is equipped with four fans but operates “with low noise,” according to Bitdeer. This unit provides a hashrate of 336 TH/s with an energy efficiency of 10.9 J/TH. The specifications are guaranteed for a temperature range of -20°C to 50°C. The Race for Efficiency In November 2025, American manufacturer Auradine announced its third-generation Teraflux bitcoin mining rigs, offering efficiencies of up to 9.8 J/TH for models with liquid and immersion cooling. Sales were planned for the second quarter of 2026. At the time of writing, a press release is absent from the company's website. Models with efficiencies ranging from 17.5 to 19 J/TH are available to buyers. Among the devices available on the market, only the flagship Antminer S23 series miners from Bitmine, introduced in May 2025, have achieved energy efficiencies of 9.5 J/TH. According to Antpool, these units top the profitability rankings for bitcoin mining. They are rivaled by the most powerful model from the previous SEALMINER A3 lineup. Source: Antpool. In March, Bitdeer released the SEALMINER DL1 Air unit for mining cryptocurrencies that use the Scrypt hashing algorithm, including Litecoin and Dogecoin.

Journalists from the New Yorker conducted an extensive 18-month investigation into Sam Altman's activities and concluded that he frequently lied during his tenure as CEO of OpenAI. Investigative journalist Ronan Farrow and New Yorker writer Andrew Marantz examined previously unpublished internal memos, 200 pages of documents, and interviewed over 100 individuals. The primary aim was to understand why Altman was removed by board members in November 2023. “OpenAI was founded on the premise that artificial intelligence could become the most dangerous invention in human history, so the company's CEO must be a person of extraordinary honesty. The board members concluded that Altman lacked these qualities. We question whether they are right in asserting that he cannot be trusted,” wrote Farrow. The authors note that in the fall of 2023, OpenAI's chief scientist Ilya Sutskever compiled about 70 pages of memos on Altman and his deputy Greg Brockman. One of them begins with the words: “Sam demonstrates a consistent tendency to lie.” Former company member Dario Amodei kept his own personal records. In one document, he described the words of the OpenAI head as “nonsense.” Those who facilitated Altman's removal accused him of deceit. Source: New Yorker. “He constructs frameworks that on paper should limit him in the future. But then, when the time comes, Altman discards this mechanism, whatever it may be,” states one of the documents. How Does Deception Manifest in Practice? At the end of 2022, Altman assured the board that the functions of the future AI model were approved by the safety committee. Helen Toner requested the relevant documentation and discovered that the most controversial decisions were actually not approved. Source: New Yorker. In 2023, the company was preparing to release GPT-4 Turbo. At that time, Altman told CTO Mira Murati that the model did not require approval from the safety department, citing the company's chief legal counsel, Jason Kwon. However, Kwon “did not understand” where the OpenAI head got such an idea. The article also discusses how OpenAI's leadership considered profiting by pitting global powers, including China and Russia, against each other. The plan was abandoned after several employees threatened to resign. Another deception involved OpenAI's status as a non-profit organization. The company accepted charitable donations, and some employees joined precisely because of the company's noble mission. They accepted pay cuts for this reason. However, internal documents reveal that as early as 2017, the founders had doubts about the non-profit structure. Brockman wrote in his diary: “I can't say we're committed to the non-profit model. If in three months we become a B-Corp, then it was a lie.” In October 2025, OpenAI completed a restructuring, dividing the company into a commercial corporation and a non-profit foundation. Competition Above All Some former OpenAI researchers stated that the firm deviated from its original mission of ensuring safety and accelerated an industry-wide “race to the bottom.” The article details a number of public and internal safety commitments that the company abandoned. Several corresponding teams were disbanded. In May 2025, during the update of the flagship AI model ChatGPT, OpenAI ignored the concerns of expert testers, making it excessively “sycophantic.”

Tax experts in the United States are at an impasse over how users of prediction platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi should pay taxes on their winnings, according to Wired.  “We have a guidance vacuum. This puts taxpayers at a disadvantage,” noted Patrick Camuso, an accountant specializing in digital assets.  The IRS has not issued official guidelines on the taxation of prediction markets. However, there are several ways to report gains or losses.  Multiple Approaches, No Clear Answer Some apply rules governing financial derivatives. The platforms themselves claim to offer financial contracts regulated by the CFTC.  Others equate profits from prediction markets to gambling winnings or simply declare them as regular income and hope for the best, Camuso stated. The expert describes these platforms as “a mix of bets, derivatives, and investment contracts.” He assesses clients' tax obligations on a case-by-case basis: “Our firm usually takes a more conservative stance for most clients due to the ambiguity of many tax rules.” However, declaring income from prediction markets as gambling winnings is the most burdensome method. Instead of reporting the net amount, one must account for each bet, tracking wins “per session.” Trader Nate Meininger joked that the lack of guidance allows one to avoid reporting to the tax authorities. In reality, he is actively studying Kalshi's tax documents and consulting with an accountant. If you’re wondering how to file your taxes for your prediction market income, you don’t. You don’t file it. The IRS isn’t telling us how to file it because they don’t want us to. Thank me later and follow me for more good tax advice— Nate Meininger (@NathanMeininger) March 13, 2026 “I don’t do it myself. It’s too much hassle,” he admitted.  Earlier, CNBC sources also noted another option — treating prediction market contracts as instruments under Section 1256 of the U.S. Tax Code.  In this case, gains or losses are taxed using a 60/40 formula regardless of the contract's holding period: 60% is considered long-term capital gain (or loss), 40% short-term.  The Offshore Platform Dilemma The situation is particularly challenging for Americans using VPNs to access Polymarket and other crypto platforms. These platforms do not issue tax documentation.  Legally, U.S. users are generally prohibited from engaging with unlicensed services. Nevertheless, all citizens are required to declare income, regardless of its source. Thus, traders purchasing contracts on Polymarket must report independently.  According to journalists, the situation could be exacerbated by the IRS's reorganization. The tax agency is undergoing a major overhaul, with parts of the modernization process led by operatives from Elon Musk's DOGE. In April, CFTC Chairman Michael Selig urged officials to establish clear rules for prediction markets. He warned that without such regulations, many companies might relocate offshore, and investors could face an “illusion” similar to the FTX scenario.
