ToggleGates and Oasys eye $75 million Tokyo property
Gates announced on 7/11 that it will cooperate with Oasys to tokenize real estate in the core area of Tokyo with a market value of US$75 million. This is currently the largest real estate tokenization project in Japan. What is special is that Gates' ambition is not limited to Japan. He is also preparing to go public in the United States and set a revenue of US$145 million in 2024. He was also listed in the "Top 500 Fastest-Growing Companies in Asia Pacific" list by the Financial Times .
Oasys, which originally focused on the blockchain gaming industry, has now begun to expand its platform business to the tokenized application of real-world assets (RWA).
Combining physical real estate with crowdfunding to enter the US and Japanese markets
Gates provides two main services:
Gates Auction: A one-stop service integrating the purchase, sale, management, consulting and brokerage of apartments and solar energy facilities.
Gates Funding: A real estate crowdfunding platform that allows ordinary people to participate in real estate investment and obtain partial ownership with only $62.
Gates has expanded into the US market through its subsidiary Gates USA Inc.
The goal is to tokenize $200 billion in real estate and expand globally in the future
In an interview , Yushi Sekino, CEO of Gates, revealed that the company's long-term plan is to tokenize more than $200 billion of real estate, which is about 1% of Japan's overall real estate market, and expand token liquidity to more than $34 billion. In the first phase, $75 million of assets will be processed and assets will be tokenized using a "special purpose vehicle" (SPV) established overseas to ensure compliance with local regulatory requirements.
Oasys founder Ryo Matsubara pointed out that his team is building a token economy that "automatically reinvests profits and creates a compound interest effect." This cooperation is an important milestone in expanding from game chains to real estate applications.
The two companies also revealed that they will expand the real estate tokenization model to the United States, Europe, the Philippines and other Asian markets in the future, and may even further incorporate intellectual property projects in Japan, such as the tokenization of game and animation assets.
Real estate tokenization has become a new global trend, and the global market is expected to reach $4 trillion by 2035
Not only in Japan, but also around the world, the pace of real estate tokenization is accelerating. Here are a few key developments:
Dubai : Real estate token sales have totaled $18 billion .
New Jersey, USA : Begins digital management of tokenized land deeds worth $240 billion .
- Europe: Pan-European fund manager APS buys $3.4 million worth of tokenized real estate.
According to a report by Deloitte on April 26 this year, the global real estate tokenization market is expected to exceed US$4 trillion in 2035 , compared to less than US$300 billion in 2024. It is an explosive market with an annual compound growth rate of more than 27%.

xAI, an artificial intelligence company led by Musk, officially released its latest AI model Grok 4 a few hours ago, claiming to be the "smartest AI on the planet." The model combines unprecedented reasoning capabilities, doctoral-level academic standards, and the integration of multiple tools, and breaks records in multiple benchmark tests. He expects Grok 4 to bring substantial technological inventions or academic significance within a year.

ToggleTwo versions: Grok 4 and Grok 4 Heavy
First of all, Grok 4 is divided into the simple single-agent version (Single-Agent Version) of Grok 4, and the multi-agent version (Multi-Agent Version) of Grok 4 Heavy.
- Grok 4: The basic version, which handles problems with a single AI agent.
Grok 4 Heavy: It uses a multi-agent collaboration model, allowing multiple agents to solve the problem individually first, and then share solutions with each other like a "learning group" and compare each other's results before reaching a final answer.
Currently, the company has also launched its most expensive subscription plan to date, "SuperGrok Heavy", which costs $300 per month. Plan subscribers can experience the Grok 4 Heavy service first, as well as priority use of future features.
PhD-level wisdom: From perfect SAT scores to all-round genius
Next, xAI claims that Grok 4 has academic and logical abilities that surpass those of humans, making it one of the models closest to general artificial intelligence (AGI) at this stage. It can get nearly full marks in advanced exams such as the SAT and GRE in the United States, and has demonstrated knowledge cultivation at the doctoral level or above in all disciplines.
In addition, Grok 4 has set new records in many benchmark tests , demonstrating unprecedented capabilities. Specifically:
- It ranks first among existing AI models in difficult mathematical logic challenges such as the Graduate Student Questions Assessment (GPQA), the American Mathematics Exam (AIME 2025), and the United States Mathematical Olympiad (USAMO).
In the Vending-Bench vending machine business operation simulation test, the asset income was successfully doubled, demonstrating a stable and consistent strategy formulation capability.
The ARC Institute, a biomedical research center, uses Grok 4 to help automate its research workflow and facilitate experiments with high efficiency.
Other practical applications include medical imaging, financial strategy formulation, and game development.
At the same time, in the Humanity's Last Exam (HLE), Grok 4 was able to solve 25.4% of the questions without assistance, and the Grok 4 Heavy version was able to solve 44.4% of the questions, ranking first among existing AI models.
Using Colossus supercomputer to train Grok 4, the computing efficiency is greatly improved
xAI revealed that the launch of Grok 4 is the result of a double leap in hardware and training strategy: "The training volume of Grok 4 is 100 times that of Grok 2."
Leveraging our Colossus supercomputer’s approximately 200,000 H100 GPUs, Grok 4 enhances the model’s focus and accuracy on reasoning tasks, from pre-training to reinforcement learning (RLHF).
The team emphasized that as the difficulty of human-written test questions has become "ineffective in training" Grok 4, the real world will become the ultimate testing ground , such as whether useful inventions or technologies can actually be created to determine whether they are actually effective .
Tool integration and real-world interaction: Grok 4 moves toward actionable AI
At the same time, Grok 4 will not only think, but also learn how to solve real-world problems. xAI shows that unlike other models, Grok 4 incorporates tool usage capabilities into the training process to improve implementation and adaptability:
In the coming months, Grok 4 will be integrated into the engineering analysis tools used by Tesla and SpaceX to enter a more sophisticated engineering environment. We also plan to provide powerful enterprise-level tools and highly accurate physics simulators to major companies by the end of this year.
The team added, “The current goal is to enable Grok to control the humanoid robot Optimus and verify the authenticity and effectiveness of its logic and creativity in the physical world.”
Beyond human reasoning ability: Can Grok 4 create new inventions?
Next is xAI's most proud reasoning function. Grok 4 can not only extract knowledge from training data, but also has the logical thinking ability cultivated through intensive training. It can independently construct problem solutions in unknown situations and conduct multi-agent collective thinking verification, and finally derive its own conclusions like human scientists:
Grok 4 is designed to think from "first principles", able to discover problems, construct logic and complete complex deductions on its own, which is a field of reasoning that other AIs have been unable to reach in the past.
xAI expects that Grok 4 will invent truly practical new technologies by this year at the earliest and next year at the latest, and may discover scientific principles that are currently unknown to humans within the next two years.
From market forecasting to game creation: Grok 4 expands its application scope again
Finally, xAI also demonstrated the practical application potential of Grok 4 across multiple fields such as voice interaction and financial business. Taking event trend interpretation as an example, Grok 4 Heavy can view the prediction market Polymarket, use statistical calculation and reasoning capabilities, and predict the Dodgers' winning rate in the World Series to be 21.6% in just a few minutes, demonstrating real-time computing capabilities that surpass traditional quantitative analysis tools.
( X announces partnership with Polymarket as official prediction market partner )
Grok's future vision is also amazing. xAI said that future versions will add video understanding and game interaction capabilities, be able to play games and judge the so-called "fun", and even integrate game engines to create interactive and artistic content by themselves. Including TV shows, movies and video games.
In terms of voice, Grok 4 has also seen a significant upgrade. The new model introduces a variety of voice styles and accents, making conversations more natural and fluent. At the launch event, it was deliberately compared with GPT, highlighting that Grok 4 not only does not interrupt users, but also greatly shortens the delay time for thinking and responding, which has become a highlight of its interface.
Grok 4 is not just a tool, it is also a promoter of human civilization
The birth of Grok 4 not only represents that AI has entered a deeper stage of thinking and application, but according to Musk, it is also expected to trigger an intelligent revolution across education, science, business and creative industries, and Grok will truly participate in it, rather than just being a language model or auxiliary tool to assist.
The xAI development team has a grand and radical vision for the future. They emphasize: "AI is no longer just helping us think, but co-creating the world with us."
