Why do we need decentralised AI and how is it going to be built? Hi, I'm Kyrin and I will be exploring this question in this new show of the Mere Mortals Podcasts network. We'll be diving into agentic AI, open source philosophy, decentralised infrastructure, token incentives and why I believe the Morpheus AI project is best suited to help the world achieve a smarter future. Episodes recorded live on Mon 11am AEST and released shortly afterwards.

MY NAMES JEV | 50 Billions Tokens & Counting
Zion, hear me! For Season 2 of the Mere Morpheus podcast I'm going to be uploading the Morpheus builder weekly updates. My reason for doing this is to make it more accessible for those who want an update directly via their podcast app and to have them all in one place. If you'd like to participate they are held weekly on the @MorpheusAIs Twitter spaces. So enjoy Episode #91! Recorded: 17 September 2026 AI SUMMARY: In this week's town hall Kyle Chris and David joined to unpack a big week for the network. Morpheus surpassed 50 billion tokens processed and native peer-to-peer throughput now overtakes the API gateway. New tooling makes direct node access easier including a proxy-style front-end service giving users a familiar API key and base URL experience while preserving the decentralised permissionless design. Agent-friendly documentation and easier developer onboarding explain why native usage keeps accelerating and what that says about the move towards open user-controlled AI. The launch of MorDiem and the new MDM token model positions it as a fixed-compute unit for the Morpheus ecosystem with relevance for everyday users and larger institutions. Agent workflows recursive self-improvement AI firewalls and new model architectures like JEV aim to make automation dramatically faster and cheaper. Decentralised AI is maturing quickly the tooling is getting easier to use and open models agent workflows and permissionless compute are unlocking a powerful next phase. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYWaFIaPFcg Timeline: (00:00:00) Intro (00:00:32) Town hall opens with record throughput milestones (00:03:24) New consumer node proxy simplifies direct access (00:06:29) Why native usage is rising with agent-first tools (00:13:20) MorDiem launches as fixed compute for Morpheus (00:24:30) IPFS, model resilience, and self-improving agents (00:28:53) Workflow wins, dashboards and agent integrations (00:33:37) AI firewalls, bug bounty overload and attention (00:40:02) JEV system one models and faster agent actions If you would like to support me for the value I provide you can use the referral link below when depositing capital and we will both earn bonus MOR.

Official AI pDOOM is at 10%? | Morpheus Crosses 10 Billion P2P Tokens
Zion, hear me! For Season 2 of the Mere Morpheus podcast I'm going to be uploading the Morpheus builder weekly updates. My reason for doing this is to make it more accessible for those who want an update directly via their podcast app and to have them all in one place. If you'd like to participate they are held weekly on the @MorpheusAIs Twitter spaces. So enjoy Episode #90! Recorded: 10 September 2026 AI SUMMARY: In this week's town hall a huge moment for the Morpheus network arrived as it closed in on 50 billion tokens processed year-to-date and crossed 10 billion peer-to-peer tokens live. Real usage is growing with rapid new model releases from players like DeepSeek and GLM and cheaper stronger flash models are bringing practical everyday AI workflows closer. Personal multi-agent setups are already useful in daily life from automated research to custom morning briefings making intelligence more accessible and more personal. The gap between fear-driven AI headlines and meaningful solutions remains wide while Morpheus keeps focus on open transparent and decentralised access and proof of identity and verifiable systems grow more important as AI-generated scams and synthetic media improve. A simpler OpenClaw launch through installopenclaw.xyz allows start in under a minute with email or Google login plus Morpheus-powered inference.

Zion, hear me! For Season 2 of the Mere Morpheus podcast I'm going to be uploading the Morpheus builder weekly updates. My reason for doing this is to make it more accessible for those who want an update directly via their podcast app and to have them all in one place. If you'd like to participate they are held weekly on the @MorpheusAIs Twitter spaces. So enjoy Episode #88! Recorded: 27 August 2026 AI SUMMARY: This episode opened with a Morpheus protocol update highlighting that native peer-to-peer throughput hit a new all-time high in August, alongside growth in provider count and model availability. While API gateway numbers required context due to inflated activity from bad actors, the team reaffirmed its focus on transparency and building a stronger decentralized AI network. The discussion then moved to a huge week in AI news: GLM 5.3 Flash challenging the economics of frontier-grade open models, the potential for more affordable hardware to run powerful models locally and the implications of Apple and Nvidia's latest hardware moves for decentralized infrastructure. The conversation also covered blurry AGI marketing, Nvidia's reported $12.9 billion acquisition of Hugging Face, Coinbase's push into "AIFi," licensing pressure from providers like Moonshot and the emerging category of non-fungible agents. The recurring theme was that open source AI, local compute, and decentralized infrastructure are all moving in the right direction with Morpheus well positioned in the middle of it.

If you'd like to participate they are held weekly on the @MorpheusAIs Twitter spaces. So enjoy Episode #87! Recorded: 20 August 2026 AI SUMMARY: This week's town hall highlighted a major shift toward peer‑to‑peer inference on Morpheus, which hit a new all‑time high of 2.3 billion tokens this month even as overall stack growth moderated. Kyle is refining the API gateway for reliability and abuse protection while staying focused on a decentralized marketplace with more gateways, providers and direct node usage. A standout example is installopenclaw.xyz, which lets anyone launch a private AI agent in under a minute with minimal technical friction. The conversation broadened to how decentralized AI adoption will likely happen through simple user experiences rather than expensive home hardware. Touching on new model releases, the growing emphasis on cost‑per‑successful‑task over benchmarks, emerging AI gaming experiments and broader crypto/DeFi tailwinds that could benefit the DAI space. Overall, the ecosystem is maturing with rising peer‑to‑peer demand, better tooling and a clear direction toward decentralization and accessibility.
