According to BlockBeats, on September 10th, Israel's i24 news channel reported that on Wednesday, the Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces announced significant progress in the northern and central desert regions and appeared to have broken through Houthi defenses. However, in reality, the Houthis merely redeployed their forces, deliberately abandoning open areas to seize the more crucial western coastal region.

By early Thursday morning, following a large-scale withdrawal of Yemeni government forces, the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels had seized control of strategically important coastlines and the port of Mocha in Hodeidah province. Therefore, it was not a case of one side launching an overwhelming offensive, but rather a territorial exchange: the Houthis gained strategically important coastlines along the Red Sea. This will allow the Houthis to pose a more direct threat to shipping in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, while also further increasing the security threat to Saudi Arabia.

According to Beating AI, Alibaba's Qoder agent platform has launched a new built-in model called Sonus, designed for long-duration autonomous tasks, complex knowledge processing, and programming, with a focus on enhanced computer usability. When used with the new Qoder Desktop, it can directly operate computers and professional software to complete tasks such as coding, financial modeling, research, and spreadsheet creation.

Sonus has launched Qoder, IDE, CLI, JetBrains plugin, QoderWake, and Cloud Agents, with a billing multiplier of 3.2x. Qoder previously launched the Cantus built-in model with the same 3.2x multiplier, which also focuses on ultra-long autonomous tasks; Sonus now further emphasizes computer operation as a core capability.

According to BlockBeats, on September 10th, 1inch co-founder Sergej Kunz stated that 1inch has processed approximately $809 billion in token exchange transactions since its founding in 2019, but the company has yet to achieve profitability. Kunz believes that the current DeFi market size is insufficient to support platforms generating large-scale revenue through value extraction, and that instead of pursuing short-term profits, it would be better to continue building infrastructure.

Kunz revealed that 1inch is addressing the fragmentation of DeFi liquidity through its newly launched shared liquidity protocol, Aqua. Research commissioned by 1inch and conducted by Dune indicates that approximately 85% of centralized liquidity on major decentralized exchanges was underutilized in the first half of 2026, with about $1.6 billion of the $1.84 billion in tracked liquidity remaining untapped, and an estimated $150 million in annual fee revenue going uncaptured.

Aqua allows liquidity providers to support multiple trading pairs simultaneously using their wallet balances, without depositing assets into liquidity pools, with trades settled by compliant market makers. On its first day of launch, the protocol attracted approximately $25 million in investment, along with 10 million 1INCH and 500,000 USDC as incentives.

1inch has already partnered with major platforms such as Coinbase, and Robinhood has also listed it as a Robinhood Chain partner. Kunz stated that 1inch prefers to build infrastructure first, and then seek commercialization opportunities after traditional finance and larger-scale funds enter the market.
