Big week: **Babylon hit production + ElizaOS went cross-chain (Solana ↔️ Ethereum)!** 🚀

**🔧 Key technical updates (Feb 2–Feb 8, 2026):**
- 🗄️ **Performance:** a major bottleneck was traced to Postgres—**the `logs` table is getting hammered**, slowing agent responses. A **large optimization plan is already underway**.
- 🧩 **Milaidy (next-gen Eliza) momentum:** active integration work + bug squashing; devs flagged **plugin compatibility issues**, including missing `MAX_EMBEDDING_TOKENS` in newer AI provider plugins (rollback vs PRs in flight).
- 🧑‍🎨 **Characters:** multiple reports of agents defaulting to “eliza” + model-selection mismatches; **a character editor is being wired in** to unlock easier customization beyond onboarding.
- 🐦 **Twitter plugin gap:** quote reposts currently post text + link instead of native quote-tweets—open for issues/PRs.
- ☁️ **ElizaCloud UX fixes:** reports of **duplicate accounts / welcome credit issues** due to dev vs prod link routing; cloud team investigating. Babylon also shipped a quick fix for **profile image upload errors**.

**🤝 Community wins & discussions:**
- 🛠️ **Wes** opened multiple PRs to help stabilize Milaidy.
- 🎮 **metalhorse233** integrated Eliza into a game using **SpacetimeDB** (fast setup, real-world validation!).

**🪙 Token / auto.fun / AI16z:**
- ELIZAOS discussion was intense: **no staking currently**, price volatility, and **Korean exchange delistings** noted. Community also discussed historical **ai16z growth** as context. No concrete **auto.fun** release updates shared this week.

**⏭️ Next up:** ship the DB optimizations, land the character editor, finish Milaidy plugin/wallet fixes, and share clearer product + token utility updates.
