The team behind the ElizaOS AI agents and AI16z token claims that X deplatformed Eliza accounts.

Eliza Labs, formerly known as AI16z, is taking legal action against Elon Musk’s X, claiming that the social media platform deplatformed Eliza accounts to squeeze out its competitors in the AI agent space.

The lawsuit comes as a result of xAI’s new AI Agent character, Ani, which Eliza Labs claims was released “immediately” after X accessed private knowledge of the Eliza Labs AI Agent code following a cease-and-desist order it sent to Eliza. The suit claims that X carried on these communications throughout June, July, and August to “pump Eliza Labs for information about creating, developing, building, and deploying AI Agents.”

xAI’s pilot AI companion chatbot, Ani, was released in July.

The filing goes on to state that while the company’s lead, Shaw Walters, and Eliza Labs complied with a cease and desist order in good faith, “X refused to reactivate Eliza Labs’ and Shaw Walters’ accounts.”

Shaw Walters’ X Account

Shaw released a statement yesterday saying that he met with X at their HQ to discuss and collaborate in the AI agent space, considering Eliza Labs found great success by using X’s free API.

According to Shaw, the collaborative tone shifted over time to what he calls “max extraction,” where X eventually demanded framework access, documentation and implementation details in return for account reinstatement.

“And then they ghosted us. We followed up week after week. They decided that instead of giving us any decision at all, they’d just drag this on while they hurt our business and gained market share for their own product. Now, we are left with no other option. X and xAI realize this on some level – they just filed a lawsuit alleging that Apple and OpenAI are doing the same anticompetitive conduct to them that X is doing to us,” Walters concluded.

Eliza Labs and the AI16z token were among the biggest winners during the AI agent craze in Q4 2024, with the AI16z token reaching a $2.4 billion valuation in January, before tumbling alongside the rest of the AI agent and memecoin space. AI16z now changes hands at a $100 million valuation.

The company rebranded from AI16z to ElizaOS in January following a request from tech venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (A16z), and Eliza Labs launched its own “No-Code” AI agent launch platform in April, known as Autofun.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
