It will feature a series of live-streamed sessions over the coming weeks, giving attendees the opportunity to learn directly from AI professionals while completing practical assignments to reinforce their knowledge.

SpoonOS announced a collaboration with HeLa, an L1 blockchain platform designed to integrate AI capabilities with built-in financial yield features. Its key features include a modular architecture, AI optimization and native yields, EVM compatibility, and a native stablecoin.
