   Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong posted a new Agents signup page, saying Coinbase aims to be the most AI-enabled financial account, linking coinbase.com/agents. Nearby, Coinbase said perpetuals for Agents (via Deribit) are live for eligible traders — agents can research, plan and trade within user-set limits — plus a trading competition with up to about $2M in prizes starting Nov 4. Official posts repeatedly warn agents may fail and users remain fully responsible for agent trades.

   Coinbase says perps trade 24/7 — and so can your agent. For eligible traders, Coinbase for Agents now offers global derivatives powered by Deribit; users connect a Coinbase account to their preferred AI platform so agents can research, strategize and place trades within set limits. A follow-up stresses educational-only framing, risk of loss, that agents may fail, that users bear full responsibility for agent activity and third-party data use, and that availability varies by region.

   The Information reports Anthropic’s amended S-1 shows about $5 billion spent on short-term compute in Q3 alone, helping push the company back into an operating loss. Reporter Stephanie Palazzolo relays that when compute is not locked in ahead and is needed quickly for training or demand, short-notice capacity gets very expensive. This is paywalled journalism on an amended filing; accounting detail follows the SEC document. It fits the IPO narrative of soaring revenue with even heavier costs.

   Techmeme summarizes a Wall Street Journal report that institutional investors told Anthropic its IPO valuation should be around $1.5–$1.6 trillion, below prior ~$2T-scale estimates, citing a tech selloff. This is an aggregator’s relay of WSJ; negotiation detail and Anthropic’s response need the original. The same day Bloomberg said Anthropic tapped eight firms including Macquarie and CommSec for an Australian retail offer ahead of a Nasdaq debut.
