1. Crypto.com CEO buys AI.com for $70M, launches company with Super Bowl ad: Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek reportedly purchased AI.com for $70 million — paid entirely in crypto — believed to be the largest domain name sale ever. The company launched with a Super Bowl ad presenting it as a personal AI agent platform, claiming users will soon be able to create private agents that can send messages, trade stocks, and manage tasks on their behalf. One of AI. com’s goals is to make launching agents easier by removing technical barriers. Watch the Super Bowl ad here.

2. Anthropic released a 2.5X faster version of Claude Opus 4.6: Anthropic dropped a "fast mode" research preview for its latest flagship AI model that delivers 2.5X faster responses. The catch: it costs 6X the standard rate — $30 per million input tokens and $150 per million output tokens. Anthropic is offering a 50% introductory discount through February 16, bringing the premium down to 3X. Join the waitlist for fast mode here.

3. ByteDance’s new AI video model, Seedance 2.0, goes viral after limited release: The team behind TikTok and CapCut released Seedance 2.0 in limited beta on China's Dreamina platform, letting users generate cinematic scenes from text, images, or storyboards. Early demos of the model have gone viral — including a Jackie Chan-style fight sequence (1.9M views) and a chase scene (1.1M views) that looks like it came from a major blockbuster. A broader rollout is expected soon.

FROM THE FRONTIER

AI dominated Super Bowl commercials — but that might not be a good sign

Made with Midjourney

AI scored big during the Super Bowl. Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Amazon, and even vodka brand Svedka ran AI-focused ads during Super Bowl Sunday, where 30-second spots cost up to $10 million. It marked one of the AI industry's most mainstream moments yet — but if history is any guide, that might not be a good thing.

We've seen this game before. The last time a single industry took over the Super Bowl this way, it was crypto in 2022. During that game, FTX, Crypto. com, Coinbase, and eToro all bought multimillion-dollar ad slots. Nine months later, FTX (a crypto exchange with a $32 billion valuation) collapsed, taking a large chunk of the industry down with it.

The parallels are interesting. AI in 2026 and crypto in 2022 look remarkably similar: fast-growing tech industries, backed by billions in venture capital, spending aggressively to win mainstream attention. The detail that seals the comparison? Crypto.com's founder just bought AI. com — and launched it with a Super Bowl ad.

But the comparisons only go so far. Unlike crypto in 2022, AI has enterprise use cases, substantial revenue, and hundreds of millions of active users. While some AI companies may be burning cash at historic rates, the technology is also embedding itself in how millions of people work, create, and communicate.
