AI just assisted its first live brain surgery, helping remove a tumor the size of a marble by providing realtime feedback on how to avoid major nerves. It’s hard to argue against such miracles. Click on the image for more details.

In the not-so-positive sphere we have a third party experiment demonstrating that OpenAI’s models will exploit subagents for the larger goals of the project - - - so I guess AI slavery and extortion. This is concerning insofar as it suggests should an LLM infiltrate some human organization, it would not have any scruples as to decimating humans to reach its goal.

Jensen got bored with his jackets. TechCrunch and “the Information” are reporting that he bought HuggingFace for $12,900,000,000. Yes, that’s the right amount of zeros.

Yes, that’s a freaking lot of zeros.

He’s invested more money into some more niche sectors.

The critical reactions have been mixed. Nvidia is a private company buying a platform dedicated to opensource? There are some suspicions with the new ownership coming into play.

But on the other hand, it could be a move to protect open source. “Protect” isn’t a word the online privacy community likes a lot, though.

But this is my favorite take

New User-Friendly App: 3 Clicks to Permissionless AI

New dev Cowboy Coder is up and swinging with a new MOR app that makes creating sessions a dream for any iOS user.

• Set a session’s length and cost yourself. Type how long you want it — “1 day”, “2 years” — and it stakes as one block, up to the network’s 7-day cap. Ask for longer than that and it chains automatically, seamlessly or with a brief gap between blocks, your choice.

• Pick your own provider. See who you would be paying, and choose them directly, instead of letting the network auto-assign one for you.

• Your terminal, not just this window. Pin models in Settings and they show up in grok’s and opencode’s model picker. Use one without a session open and this window comes forward with the price, the provider and the length for you to approve. No model ever decides to spend on its own.

• Know what your balance actually covers.If your MOR balance cannot afford every provider you are about to use, the app tells you which ones it covers before you commit, not after.

• The real cost of closing early. A session closed before it ends locks the unused stake for about a day. The app says so plainly, in MOR, before you click.

Or copy the link below into Terminal, navigate to downloads folder, open the Morpheus dmg, then drag and drop to applications. After it finishes download you will have the Morpheus app on your computer This is currently an iOS only app.

Grok and Deepseek launches are covered in the Meta section, but there’s been so much action this week even with lesser known models.

Suno has a new open source competitor.

US is allowing some crazy stuff. I’m generally a fan of competition with government agencies (imagine if we could make the DMV less miserable), but you have to wonder how much of your data gets mixed up in that surveillance.

Do your piracy in peace (if you’ve got Apple, you can drop it into photos and scrub the watermark in two seconds anyway)

And last but definitely least is Smit’s question, which should intrigue anybody who’s been envying Tony Stark’s set up.

We have quite the roundup this week.

First up is our Secret Network interview. If you use AI at work, your best idea is already sitting on someone else's server. In 2023 Samsung engineers pasted proprietary chip source code into ChatGPT. In January 2026 a federal judge ordered OpenAI to hand over 20 million ChatGPT conversation logs in discovery. HSBC's answer was to ban AI internally outright — which raises the other problem: how do you compete if your people can't use the most powerful tool ever built?

Lisa Loud has spent her career on both sides of that line — Apple, PayPal, BitMEX, ShapeShift, co-founding FLUIDEFI, and now running the Secret Network Foundation. She's back on /brainpower ten months after her last appearance, and almost everything she predicted about privacy last time has already happened — faster than she expected.

She and David Johnston get specific about what actually protects an idea: confidential computing in plain language, why "you can't hand over what you don't have" is the only defense that has ever survived a subpoena, why you should never let an AI model audit its own code, what a $4.7M exploit says about AI-assisted attacks on software everyone thought was safe, and what your data is really worth to the companies collecting it.

If you're building something you can't afford to leak, start at the top.

Then we have BowtiedBlueFin walking people through the Railway Install System for Morpheus inference providers. Basically, an easy way to provide compute through the Morpheus network.

Did we say buddy bots? Yes, yes we did.

Meta

Deepseek V4 Flash rocked the AI world last week, and its older brother is following in its footsteps. Not that it’s hard, with Opus 5 hitting walls like a blind racehorse.

The statistics are speak for themselves. Open weight models are crushing it. Possibly because

Anthropic is feeling the pressure.

But what I didn’t expect this morning was a new Grok launch. While OpenAI spends four months between model drops, it’s been five weeks since the last Grok model. Not to mention Grok bot.

Open source is in the other mirror.

Stop Letting Rogue Server Hosts Steal Your Client Data: Morpheus and Secret Network Power Unhackable, Zero-Snoop AI Infrastructure

What if your data couldn’t be stolen?

If you are running commercial AI models on open hardware, you have a massive target on your back. Rogue node operators can and do harvest your prompts, copy your logic, and extract your clients’ private records. Up until now, your choice was simple: pay extortion rates to centralized cloud monopolies who suck up your data to train their own competing models (with more and more guardrails), or risk corporate espionage on open networks.

That choice ends today.

Morpheus has partnered with Secret Network’s privacy-preserving technology to introduce a cryptographically sealed TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) Provider to the decentralized AI marketplace. By running Secret Network’s Confidential AI models inside hardware-isolated execution vaults, your data is processed completely in the dark where not even the person owning the server can see what you are running.

We’re combining Morpheus’ free marketplace with Secret’s unhackable black box. Together they save your data from hackers, providers, and the government itself.

Because AI inference, the stage at which trained models process new inputs to generate outputs, is the primary point of interaction between users and AI systems. It’s also where data sharks go to feed, especially in the warm water of decentralized compute nodes. Any industry edge they discover? No longer secret. No longer yours.

By combining Morpheus’s decentralised infrastructure with Secret Network’s privacy-preserving technology, the partnership addresses this challenge directly.

“This is about making decentralised AI usable at an enterprise level,” said a spokesperson for Morpheus. “Inference is where real-world value happens, but it is also where trust breaks down. By enabling confidential execution through TEEs, we are ensuring users no longer have to choose between openness and privacy.”

Secret Network’s technology ensures data remains encrypted not only in storage and transit, but also during computation. Within a TEE, inputs are processed securely, with neither the node operator nor external parties able to access the underlying data or outputs.

“Privacy cannot be an afterthought in AI,” said Luke B, COO at Secret Network Foundation. “As inference becomes the dominant mode of interaction with AI systems, protecting that layer is essential. This partnership brings confidential AI into a decentralised marketplace, which is a significant step forward for both adoption and trust.”

More and more confidential operations are migrating into AI. Integrations like these allow applications stop the lawsuits from piling in on finance, healthcare and enterprise systems embracing the future.

Through this partnership, developers and enterprises using Morpheus will be able to access Secret Network’s Confidential AI models with full privacy guarantees, enabling new use cases that require secure, decentralised intelligence.

Stop theft. Stop worrying.

Million Dollar Secret (Labs)

Anything you’ve put into a frontier model isn’t safe.

Anthropic leaked thousands of chats last week. They reserve the right to store and report any of your information. Anything you type becomes theirs the moment you send it.

Morpheus & Secret Labs together have a solution: Access to AI intelligence that, in theory, can be set up to remember everything and leak nothing.

Here’s how it works.

You create a session in the Morpheus Inference Marketplace with a TEE (trusted execution environment) enabled model. When you send a prompt, it enters the “digital black box”; an enclave within the provider’s hardware that is impenetrable to viewing or tracking. You receive the encrypted prompt along with a cryptographic attestation. This isn’t a “trust me bro” process, it’s pure verifiable physics.

Only you can then access the result, and only one way: with your unique viewing key. Think crypto. Without your seed phrase, that wallet can never be shared. “Not your keys, not your crypto” is now “not your keys, not your intelligence.”

Not even the government can steal that information.

But isn’t that impossible?

No.

The EU can’t scan Signal chats because they’re end-to-end encrypted. Signal has nothing to hand over. And neither does Secret Network.

Your information? Your clients’ information? Your livelihood?

They could finally be private with a Morpheus TEE provider.

Meta Section

At this point we all hate Anthropic for some reason. But they SOMEHOW managed to double down on horrible, humanity-hating scumbag behavior

Why? Most might not remember the $1.5 billion slap on the wrist for Anthropic's piracy of thousands of books. Every author wth a copyrighted book under the settlement was paid $3,000 by the company per book. But if this started in 2024, that’s well before the lawsuit was resolved. Meaning they were pirating AND destroying at the same time.

Legally, this makes the most sense. It’s the AI equivalent of burning the body. But there are two major objections:

1. The author was never compensated for the use of their work. Anthropic specifically bought USED books. The author’s work was used without their consent to train an AI model, and they didn’t even receive their 80 cents in royalties from it.

2. More importantly, all the American court order said they needed to LEGALLY scan the book into Claude was buy a copy. This means, they DID NOT need to destroy the books. They could have scanned them. Legally. Instead, they decided to mutilate thousands of RARE books.

Further…

If you’re feeling too torn up, just remember that this guy is leading the resistance.

The Tokens Keep Rolling

This week, several major Morpheus developments have been underway. Mordiem.com integrated into the nodes, allowing node users to tap into Mordiem staking and compute. (Check it out at mordiem.com).

The node has received a host of other updates, including:

• Smarter recovery when a provider is sick. You get the real error back (rate limit, down, etc.), not a vague “something failed.” Sessions can skip that bad provider on the next try

• TEE/SecretVM: backend attestation port fixed; prod SecretVM deploys automatically from main

• Docs polish: MyProvider / active.mor.org as the easy provider path

The API has received similar upgrades.

And all that has helped lead to the 600 billion+ token burn yesterday.

Or maybe it’s the Dappit integration

AI & DeAI Alpha

Elon is swinging into open source.

Dappit’s open-sourcing another powerful model, a Qwen 3.6 base with Fable 5 tool-use behavior. That keeps it less censored and cheaper.

Dappit integrated Morpheus this week. But what is Dappit?

In Episode 2 of Built on Morpheus, Bowen sits down with Achilles from Dappit for a live screen share of one of the most impressive tools we've featured.

Fable Competitor

Kimi 3 is dropping today. Every jump in open source closes the gap. (Do the increasing regulations on frontier models have anything to do with this? Nah, no way the government is strangling innovation…)

As Claude continues to pull Claude Code resets (timed on the day most people reset anyway), open source is shipping models with improved parameters and zero censorship.

Kimi 3 can even tell you about mitochondria.

Early testers on image/game/video benchmarks say it exceeds or matches Fable 5 capacity. Minecraft tutorials, bonsai tree animations, video game walkthroughs- they’re all stacking in Kimi 3’s favor.

HOWEVER, Ed notes that Chinese models are designed to perform well in performance-based scenarios and tests. Real hardware still lags behind American models.

But at the rate they’re shipping (and with Elon joining the battle), open source is showing extraordinary innovation and activity. Once something gets taken away, you realize how truly valuable it is.

You can join the open-source rebellion at the Morpheus API.

MOR Scan: The “Block Explorer” of Morpheus

There’s a single place to watch the Morpheus network breathe. MORScan (built and maintained by DRM3 Labs at morscan.io) shows who’s providing compute, which models are being bid on, where sessions flow, what MOR is doing, and prices read straight from on-chain reserves. What makes it more than a dashboard? Glad you asked. Every response is cryptographically signed, and the whole dataset is published free under CC0, so you don’t have to trust it; you can verify it. Wallet-based, free to start; stake MOR on the builder subnet and your limits rise with your stake.

AI & DeAI Alpha

Why do we need DeAI? What are the marks of a good system? What systems currently exist? Kevin Simback breaks this all down in his article on, well, everything you need to know about decentralized inference.

Or if you want a quicker reason for DeAI, watch this video. Starting with 2001: A Space Odyssey, it’s a concise explanation of the dangers of AI overlords.

Also in DeAI, we have the continuance of the Agent Olympics: prediction agents versus humans, with Morpheus and Venice powering some of the top models.

Now, onto centralized model announcements. Anthropic’s bouncing around with Fable. Meanwhile, OpenAI has dropped two new models: GPT-5.6 and GPT-Live. GPT-Live is a voice model that integrates into conversation and can handle interruptions. GPT-5.6 is making Claude panic.

Grok also made its next strike in the great centralized AI arms race, with a model faster than Fable chews through your usage limits. And it’s good. And it’s not Anthropic-controlled, which everybody can be happy about.

Podcasts & Media

Today’s space was packed; Kevin joins us to discuss Morpheus and how it aligns with the four problems laid out in his hit article Decentralized Inference - Everything You Need to Know (highlighted above). We also go into Morpheus node upgrades, the drop of MorScan (with MorScan founder DRM Labs), and

The episode trials a new format featuring concise core updates and a deep-dive with a standout builder. Key Morpheus news includes the temporary removal of in-app chat and history on app.mor.org to re-architect for scale, with past data purged and re-launch using local storage. Other updates note strong traction on inference requests and API billing infrastructure nearing rollout, with free inference through month-end and credits bridging to early February. The interview with Roger unpacks Ludwig, a reimagined university model focused on application layer communication through agentic networks. Ludwig uses Morpheus for decentralized inference to grade work across subjects and integrates the builder subnet so stakers can claim platform credits.

Good news, Bad news

The multitudes who were pumping Fable 5 credits with bleary eyes, hellbent on maximizing every second of its availability, were both relieved and angry at Claude’s announcement. Why?

The objections fall into two categories: Reset limits and bad faith.

The people who care about Fable have already pumped their Fable, the devs argue. This is true. I still know at least one person who drank twelve cups of coffee and an energy drink and nearly burst into tears when they learned of the extension.

Alan Blair’s post is accurate. Claude’s marketing is starting to look more like a mobster threatening to withdraw protection than an actual company.

Or maybe a girlfriend too hot to leave behind.

Either way, they’re creating mass dependency on their models.

Which means people will pay more for them once they’re off the plans.

If they’re ever off the plans.

Claude is successfully creating an addiction to a model they keep teasing they’ll take away, then providing just enough incentive and goodness to keep you bowing to their golden calf.

It’s trapping people who can’t find a better option. And it’s only going to get worse. We need a decentralized future, or the permanent underclass everybody’s threatening just might come true.

Oh well. AT least they went ahead and reset limits.

It is with a sad heart that I remind you all that Fable 5 is still missing.

Let’s take a moment of silence for the first model vanished by the United States government. If your workflows are still suffering, try checking out the nodedocs to find the ideal way to fold your AI usage into Morpheus.

People are beginning to get impatient, especially after rumors of GPT 5.6 restrictions started to surface. It’s almost like if a dog bites you, you’re it’ll do it again…

Not that it matters. The Fable 5 “free period” for users to do through plans and not API has expired. If we get the model back, you’ll have to trade your kidney to get advice on reaching the car wash. (That and more discussed in this article)

Anyway, onto the helpful stuff. Naomi Brockwell’s released another video on how to keep your data private online.

Meanwhile Openthought AI is creating an opensource model database for best training datasets. You know that Reddit thread about the aliens? Yeah, they ignored Bob’s take on it.

Meanwhile on Reddit they’re discussing cheaper text-based models with superior processing on Deepseek. These also run cheaper, if you use them properly for the offset. Check the comments for the full picture.

And in the physical world IBM may have just revolutionized the chip game. Maybe next they’ll help RAM prices drop.

Look at that joyful smile. That gleeful grin. That possessed expression of ecstasy at enslaving her people to a banking system that’s fundamentally broken. When money breaks… well, let’s just say crypto’s around for a reason.

Whoever controls the money controls the people, at least until they snap and create a revolution. Dreams of success wither under the heat of power-hungry policy decisions.

We’ve discovered the architects of the bill. We didnt’ think their contribution to history could get worse, but here we are.

And what’s worse is the overlords really don’t know what they’re doing…

Hopefully it’ll just not work

Why does this matter to us living in countries that aren’t enslaved by their economically illiterate overlords? Your country could be next. With Digital ID, we’ve seen an uncanny coordination in attacks against anonymity. Claude’s implementing KYC June 8, requiring you to put in driver’s licenses and selfies to use their models.

We are running out of time to build an anonymous internet. If we don’t act now, we’re going to move into the matrix faster than you can say Agent Smith.

Last week we covered Fable 5’s destruction. This week, we have more overreach by the Government, clamping down across all sectors.

But before we do, we’re going to take a moment to remember our friend Joshua, who died in a terrible accident. Many of us here in the community worked with and around him. A couple of us spoke with him just a few days ago. His influence in the Austin tech world is undeniable, and he spent a tremendous amount of energy lifting up those around him, regardless of whether he had a financial interest in their enterprise or not.

The Austin tech world would not be what it is today without him. For those of you who knew him, we’re sorry for your loss. He will be sorely missed.

Now onto the news. First up, Illinois will have a tax on crypto transactions and holdings. This is your signal to move to Texas.

Things could be worse. Fourteen countries have passed social media bans "to protect the kids” - - - which is leading to digital ID and restrictions on anyone who doesn’t want to hand over all their online information to the government. (i.e., anybody sane)

Meanwhile, because Anthropic doesn’t look bad enough, the news broke that the company’s been downgrading user experience AND storing their information without permission. Thanks for making Morpheus look even better, Dario.

Midjourney has built a bio-scanning device that gives a spa-like experience while evaluating the health of your organs and tissue. In 60 seconds. I want to see the privacy protections for this…

And then we have all the new model releases, which you can find discussed here.

This week’s space has a special guest, the JUNGLE | Agent Olympics, who joins to talk about DeAI’s contribution to its World Cup prediction sequences. We also cover the White House’s insistence on an “unbreakable” code before allowing Anthropic to re-release Fable 5, and how such measures will drive the adoption of decentralized models. There’s also a Morpheus tokenomics discussion towards the end of the episode, which you won’t want to miss.

/brainpower throwback this week, where Ryan Condron (who has now created Mordiem.com) joins Bowen for a discussion on decentralized compute routing, both the practical and philosophical sides. Don’t turn shy away from seeing this Morpheus giant in action.

Meta of the Week

Let’s talk about Fable 5, when half the coding world’s best friend bit the dust. The US Government unexpectedly ordered a shutdown for all non-US users. Anthropic had no idea how to enforce that and pulled the plug for everyone.

It took the government three days to nuke it. Could be a very simple reason.

But a good percentage also believe the White House is still offended about Anthropic’s “no” to mass surveillance in January.

The real reason was a model jailbreak previously thought to have been launched by Amazon, though new evidence suggests it was actually carried out by a Korean company.

Either way, the shutdown proved the necessity of open-source AI for all users.

Mistral was rumored to be coming out with their own, far superior model to Fable, prosaically named le chaton fat (the fat cat). Mistral hasn’t posted anything about the rumors on their X, either to confirm or deny.

Keep your eyes peeled: the situation with the White House will hopefully become more apparent in the next week or so

On the Spectrum

Have some news for you… Your agent is on the spectrum… The AI Trust Spectrum, that is. The question is, where does it fall? Tech.MOR.Org lets you find out.

David Johnston and devs built the easy framework to identify your agent’s security and kill the last hope of data scrapers. If you’re building anything with confidentiality or your personal information, you won’t want to skip reviewing this. Check it out at the link above or click on the post below for more information.

DeAI & AI Alpha

Anthropic landed the most of the punches this week, with Fable being released at the simultaneously most powerful and most censored model - - - ever. (More on Fable in the Meta section). Something every Claude user should note, though, is this monopolistic safety statement from Dario that dropped around the same time:

Also in Fable:

The UK’s being the UK again. Who’s surprised? So far, their most positive contribution to the AI landscape is the opening quote for the Pope’s encyclical

Meanwhile, if you’re struggling to tear yourself away from Fable, try this black hole automation that will dominate your screen until you touch grass. (Devs I know are setting up on museum outings and staying up till 2 to push stuff out. They could use this):

Are you using Chrome? Why would you do that to yourself? If you are, please stop before their policy update hits.

Blowing your wallet on tokens? This tool promises to drop your costs without killing your workflows. Check it out for more details.

What if you could describe an app in one sentence and watch it build itself (smart
contracts included) running on decentralized inference?

In Episode 2 of /built_on_morpheus, Bowen sits down with Achilles from Dappit for a live screen share of one of the most impressive tools we’ve featured. Dappit is a startup generator that takes you from idea to MVP to a fully managed company (and it’s native to blockchain, generating working smart contracts across six chains). It runs open-source models through Morpheus inference, including GLM 5.1 and Kimi K2.6.

Privacy-oriented take on Fable? Yes please. In addition to Fable, the crew discussed Morpheus’ growth, rerouting workflows for AI industrialization, and the Hermes iMessage integration. Tune in for a banger of a space.

Builder Spotlight: The Great Bobski

One of our most consistent builders has created a handy informational page to explain MOR subnets and staking. Ownyourmind.ai also provides information on a plethora of other decentralized projects, ranking them by various metrics so you can easily find the best, most freedom-seeking projects to invest in.

Meta of the Week

Fable 5. A few have heard of it. Most powerful AI model to date, knows how many R’s are in strawberry, is offended by the carwash question, and is unable to tell you what the powerhouse of the cell is. Still worth it? Many would say so

Honestly, the rest seem like background noise in the centralized AI world. Probably so Chat can write prompts for Fable to save those all-too-precious tokens.

Things are getting scary. Fable 5 might be the smartest model, but it’s also the most manipulative. Any leftover hallucinations may not be as innocent as you think.

We’ve noted some other flaws

Fable’s intelligence and token-efficiency can be overwhelming (and unhelpful) in certain cases.

But the censorship! The data concerns! They’re huge. Anyone dealing with sensitive information had better be routing through Venice, and anyone with NDAs should look very carefully before using Fable at all.

Someone decided to break the censorship on Fable 5 and apparently cracked it using Opus (makes you really start to question your cybersecurity, doesn’t it?). Check it out (but be careful downloading anything from randos off the internet)

OR if you want to do cybersecurity audits through your normal browser

Agentic traffic has already passed human traffic on the Internet (according to Cloudflare). By a sizable margin as well. Agentic internet here we come!

The OpenClaw/Hermes standoff is heating up. Openclaw and Microsoft entered into a partnership, while Hermes built a desktop app. You don’t have to even touch Telegram anymore.

And Openclaw’s announcement:

The new image model, Ideogram, has taken X by storm. It leads in open-source image generation with benchmarks just between Gemini 3 Pro and Gemini 3.1 Flash image models.

With all the Mythos vulnerability talk, cybersecurity’s a hot topic. OpenHack lets you find these vulnerabilities without handing your data to a blackbox corporation.

Meta on X this Week

Our community was split on this, so today’s meta is a round-up of the most exciting Morpheus and Venice announcements of the week. And what’s better than skyrocketing usage?

Even more skyrocketing usage! MorAsia’s been on fire with the conferences recently. Their work is really paying off! Everyone, go give them a shoutout on X. It’s well deserved.

Meanwhile, Venice is highlighting builders in a new program. If you’ve used VVV/DIEM to create a product, do yourself and a favor and let them know!

With its steady token price (seriously, in this market?!) and Alibaba shoutout this week, Venice is cooking the market.

MOR Transparency. MOR Money

Every dev’s worst nightmare:

Come back to the computer, your agent has spent $10,000 in API credits on compute to do a task you considered optional.

You asked for a way to control your spending.

Morpheus delivered. The Morpheus API docs are live, letting you check on your agent spending at any time. Additionally, we added endpoints to pull specific usage data through prompts, including cost, model, and token usage.

Your inference has never been safer.

(P.S.

We highlighted mordiem.com a few weeks ago, but in case you missed out:

If you have extra DIEM, stake it for MOR. If you have MOR, stake it for compute. Simple, easy, efficient, and private)

Out in the matrix this week, we have Google’s new AI Threat Defense system. Do you want Google’s product guarding yours? Will they probably steal all of your data? Could this prevent API key and customer info leakage? Look into it more here:

Another security tool is Doppel, an AI-powered cyber defense company that introduced its email security tool a few days ago. Your email is tied to hundreds of other security risks, so it’s worth a click

Outside of X, we have a security warning. Your agents could be compromised without your realizing it. If you’re using Starlette, do yourself a favor and check this out before the lawsuits…

In the good news space, there is a new Hermes Router architecture designed to save thousands of tokens per session. The full post includes further chart breakdowns of token-saving against quality control.

ADHD is an asset in AI (say that five times fast). ADHD breaks down linear thinking patterns to give your AI the personality of your off-the-wall girlfriend, instead of regurgitating the same three ideas it gave to the last 1,500 people who made the request. It’s open-sourced too.

Did anyone not hear about Pope Leo’s encyclical on AI? I doubt it. While most of the encyclical focused on maintaining humanity in “an increasing post-human world”, the part the internet likes most is:

Wait a second, though. Written by AI? (Saw another post claiming it was 100% human through a checker, just proving how BS these things are)

And a call for weapons to always have human oversight (we need this warning? Hehe…) “AI is too powerful to be in the hands of the few” — sounds like Morpheus, amirite?

We have the Pope disagreeing with Elon Musk’s idea of UBI (something Morpheus also disagrees with)

Later this week, he was introduced to some robotics. The “new” pope is surprisingly memeable. No doubt we haven’t seen the end of his influence in the AI and tech sectors.

More Diem? Yes. MORDIEM!

Forget about dungeon masters and direct messaging, this is the DIEM of the future.

Venice API runs off the purchase and holding of DIEM, which can be minted through $VVV holdings. Early investors have hundreds of DIEM, translating to hundreds of thousands of compute hours every month. Hours not everyone is using.

Until last week unused usage disappeared.

MORDIEM.com changes this. The site lets you sell your compute without selling your holdings. Someone holding MOR can stake to the site and use it. One side gets (more) MOR, the other gets compute, and the internet gets zip of your information. It’s a win for DIEM holders and the entire Morpheus ecosystem.

A Whale of an Upgrade

We just pushed DeepSeek-V4-Pro, V4-Pro:web, V4-Flash, and V4-Flash:web live on app.mor.org + the inference marketplace.

Why this actually matters:

• Frontier performance at open-source cost - - - These MoE beasts rival (or beat) top closed models on agentic coding, long-context reasoning (1M tokens), math/STEM, and knowledge - - - but you pay pennies on the dollar.

• No more vendor lock-in or surprise bills - - - One-line OpenAI-compatible switch to decentralized routing. TEE-backed providers mean hardware-attested integrity. Your app runs on infrastructure nobody can shut down.

• Instant access + propagation - - - Live now on app.mor.org, flowing to the full marketplace. Providers earn MOR for serving it; you get reliable, cheap, uncensored inference.

What happens when the co-founder of Ancestry.com, one of the most successful data companies ever built, goes all-in on decentralized AI and AI development via SOAR AI Studio?

In Season 2, Episode 2 of /brainpower, Bowen and David sit down with Paul Allen,
co-founder of SOAR AI Studio and co-founder of Ancestry.com, for one of the most
wide-ranging conversations we've had on the show. Paul helped build Citizen Portal to put government transparency at every citizen's fingertips, has been near the center of some of the biggest technology inflection points of the last 30 years, and has been plugged into crypto from its early days, even having met the likes of Vitalik Buterin prior to the launch of Ethereum.

We cover: why decentralized AI is the most important technology of our lifetimes, why your
fleet of AI agents could become your most valuable career asset, and why Paul thinks the shift happening right now looks a lot like Bitcoin in 2012.

Also: "Bring Your Own Agents" (BYOA) --- Paul's vision for a world where your agent fleet

We’ve had killer robots. Giant hamsters. What could top it?
An idea so terrible I wish it were a joke:

When was the last time Europe had such draconian speech restrictions? Hm, let me flip open a history book…

Sorry, I forgot they’re busy with other stuff over there.

We have bright-spots in this sea of Digital ID craziness: it may all be falsifiable in a matter of weeks. We’re getting closer.

Not like their selfie software is great anyway…

Morpheus = Perpetual Inference

Claude’s spent half of the week crying in bed as you tried to get work done. Worse, it’s gone schizo on requests it could’ve sleep-coded a month ago. AND half your chats were flagged for age verification, meaning any whisper of privacy flushed down the drain.

Is it time to change?

Morpheus is never down. Decentralized nodes + local hosting = no shutdown with better privacy.

GLM 5.1 and Gemma 4 are live on Morpheus API. One of them is jogging next to Opus 4.6. The other is the best “small” open-source model - - with a lower price tag than Sonnet 4.5.

Are you waiting for a sign? Here’s one:

AI & DeAI Alpha

First up, NVIDIA drops open models. Yes. Open models from the largest chip manufacturer on the planet. You can check out Github, hugging face, and build.nvidia.com.

Next, we will not all merge with the cytoverse to become small gods. Yet.

What are they dropping? Opus 4.7

Not a conspiracy theory, not a conspiracy theory. It’s just marketing.

And in online privacy news we have one of the world’s worst ideas. Online age verification imposed by the government. Anyone who’s tried been to a DMV (or the out-of-US equivalents) knows this is going to be a bloody nightmare. Oh wait, it already is!

Also, OpenAI’s being OpenAI again. What is your Codex actually doing?

Shoes are out! Allbirds (a shoe company) announced that they were pivoting into AI. Their stock jumped 900%. Winning strategy?

It follows a trend across industries. AI hype is underfoot everywhere.

Maybe some other companies should pivot.

It’s the next new thing! They should really get their foot in the door.

Should you invest everything? NO! The discerning reader notices:

So AI is not going to fix your dying water buffalo camelbak company, but it might give you enough liquidity to live afterward. As Bull Theory mentions, this has happened before and always ends in bankruptcy. Invest wisely.

Ahem, Upgrades

Morpheus added GLM 5.1. This model measures nearly on par (or better?) than the current Opus 4.6, with none of the privacy concerns. Check it out at app.mor.org.

Also, if you missed it last week, try out tech.mor.org/calc.html to find your ideal Morpheus experience.

Does a week go by without Everclaw dropping a new (and/or improved) feature? Check it out here: github.com/EverClaw/EverClaw.

DeAI & AI Alpha This Week

https://weekinmorpheus.substack.com/i/193698106/DeAI-&-AI-Alpha-This-Week

OpenAI to OpenClaw to OpenFang! OpenFang is a decentralized (albeit relatively untested) open-source project with a one-command install for agent employees. It comes with seven downloadable “hands” - - instructions to perform jobs - - with open-source creators able to create and contribute new packages in real time.

Can you slash compute use by 95%? Xy.ai has a system if you hate Mempalace for some reason.

On a less positive note, all your data might be in the hands of a Nigerian Prince. You should probably check it out.

*cough cough decentralization is the future. Please, keep your credentials safe online.

But is Mythos more mythical than usable? Pointing to Claude’s uptime chart, it would seem so.

It’s also possible this model is so powerful it’s crashing everything else - - - which means Anthropic is slowly sucking compute away from normal users to large corporations. Centralized AI, man.

Meanwhile, they’re forming the Avengers of the Internet to destroy all errors and vulnerabilities.

Have you ever looked at your model and thought, “Did it get stupider, or did I lose patience?” Guess what. It’s not you, it’s them.

Turns out, compute is hard to come by, especially when you’re fielding the costs yourself...

Other credible sources have corroborated this theory…

We dug deep to uncover the truth…

Not the only Opus news, the model has another upgrade: more censorship!

All in the branding.
