4. Donut AI-powered crypto browser Donut raised $7M in a Pre-seed round led by BITKRAFT Ventures, Hack VC, and HongShan, with participation from Sky9 Capital, Matrix Partners, and others. Donut is an agentci crypto browser built on Solana that integrates a native crypto wallet and DEX access, enabling users and embedded AI agents to autonomously execute on-chain transactions such as trading, yield farming, and portfolio optimization directly from the browser. The importance of browsers to onboard new crypto users will be huge!

5. Assisterr AI Network of specialized small language models Assisterr AI raised $2.8M from Google for Startups, Outlier Ventures, Web3com Ventures, and others. Assisterr's innovation is in its focus on Small Language Models (SLMs) rather than the massive, general-purpose Large Language Models (LLMs) built by OpenAI, Grok, and other huge companies. SLMs are cheaper to run, easier to customize, and can be fine-tuned for highly specific tasks. Love the focus on smaller, specific models!
