Astra powered ships this week
- Images 2.5
- GPT-Live-1
- Agents API
- Data Agent
- ChatGPT for Financial Services
and yet it’s not yet DevDay. Busy plans for next week too.
Hi Astra users. A reset and a quick update on quality issues that have been posted around.
Working with some of you, we have found and fixed the following issues:
- Some skills written for previous models were triggering too often or preventing the model from checking its work.
- An opt-in context management experiment that could cause early stops or replies to older messages. We've disabled it. Our rough estimate is that 4-5k users were affected by this experiment.
- We've also removed some badly configured engines that resulted in a measured quality degradation for a long tail of traffic flowing through them.
We’ve also made some more minor improvements and things should feel significantly better across the board. More consistent follow-through, better tracking of your latest message, and better checks on the work as it’s going through the motions.
The examples posted and all the users who worked directly with us were incredibly useful in helping fix things quickly. Always grateful for this incredible community.
And of course, a reset is also landing by midnight today.
Hedera developers can scaffold a working dApp with a single command.
scaffold-hbar ships eight templates covering bridging, oracles, scheduled payments and more, with Next.js, a choice of Hardhat or Foundry, and network config for testnet, mainnet and a local Hedera fork. AI coding agents get Hedera context built in.

Why did Gilmore Estates choose $HBAR?
Because real estate deserves speed, security & global access.
On Hedera, transactions are immutable, scalable, and borderless, the perfect foundation for tokenized real estate.
🚨HUGE $HBAR MILESTONE: HEDERA JUST CROSSED 10 MILLION+ MAINNET ACCOUNTS.
From just 5,000 testers in 2019 to more than 10,000,000 accounts today!
This shows years of builders, enterprises and users steadily choosing @hedera.
$HBAR adoption is compounding. This is a monster milestone. 🔥
$HBAR Council just added two new partners...
Yet neither of them are actually NEW faces to the Hedera ecosystem
These two are
WiSeKey and SpaceDev
Both have already utilized Hedera in their own respective ways around edge IoT & sustainability.
Let's break it down further.
WISeKey, based in Switzerland, a global expert in cybersecurity, digital identity n IoT.
They're now Hedera's 4th official Strategic Partner, joining Global Blockchain Business Council, Halborn n the Institutes RiskStream Collaborative.
One of WISeKey's subsidiaries, SEALCOIN AG, runs the SEALCOIN platform.
Enables autonomous exchange of verified, high value data, secured by post-quantum cryptography.
Earlier this year, Hashgraph Group launched the QAIT Q-Day Security Assessment Platform directly on the SEALCOIN Quantum Marketplace.
Built to help enterprises n governments evaluate n mitigate cybersecurity risk from quantum computing specifically.
On top of this, we've seen SEALCOIN's satellites in space leveraging HCS directly!
Now SpaceDev.
Hedera Council's 8th Community Partner, a Latin American software company based in Uruguay.
What's interesting here is that SpaceDev is already familiar with Hedera thru Council Member B4E.
Their use of Hedera consists of turning carbon capture initiatives into auditable on-chain assets.
SpaceDev's built software for platforms including Tether, WalletConnect, Rarible n UFC Strike.
––––––
These partners aren't new to Hedera whatsoever.
Which makes this carry even more weight.
If Hedera wasn't officially deemed enterprise ready, these enterprises would've flocked elsewhere.
Instead we continue to see names from legacy build and continue staying on Hedera.
Next week we’ll be retiring GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark. Can you believe we shipped a model named as such!!
It's had a good run and was a lot of fun, but usage has been declining and we have significantly better models now. Time to make room for the future.
Why This HBAR ETF Is NOT a Commodity Pool (And Why That’s Huge) Hbar is being treated as a commodity by the SEC and CFTC… but this new etf isn’t a commodity pool 👀 it’s holding over 579 million hbar — about 1.34% of total supply and that changes how
Hedera hits new adoption milestone...
@Hedera now has over 10 million mainnet accounts, marking a significant increase from its 5,000-user testing phase in 2019.
The network now serves as a high-throughput settlement layer for a growing ecosystem of institutional and retail participants.
The account growth reflects the platform’s expanding footprint in institutional asset management and industrial-scale tokenization.
🚨 10,000,000+ accounts on Hedera mainnet!
5K testers in 2019 → 10M+ accounts today.
That's not hype. That's building trust at scale.
👋 gm to every Hedera builder who made this milestone possible.
Fast. Fair. Built for the institutions AND the innovators 🌐
