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.

Morpheus Vehemently Denies Overloading Base Mainnet | Demand Is Exploding!
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 #79!<br /><br />Recorded: 25 June 2026&nbsp;<br /><br />AI SUMMARY: This week's episode revealed that the Morpheus network usage surged to one of its strongest days this year with sharp monthly token throughput growth driven partly by rising interest in GLM 5.2. This demand is beginning to test provider capacity which signals a healthy open inference marketplace, more opportunity attracts more providers which strengthens the network. Recent node updates have made running nodes easier while community momentum grew through events like a packed meetup in Puerto Rico and widening regional adoption. Broader discussions highlighted how access restrictions on centralized models are pushing users toward permissionless open‑weight systems making decentralized AI more practical and important. The episode closed on how personal agents could lower technical barriers across freedom tech including for Bitcoin communities potentially unlocking a new wave of adoption.<br /><br />Timeline:&nbsp;<br />(00:00:00) Intro<br />(00:00:30) Morpheus usage surge and blockchain outage banter<br />(00:04:34) Morpheus throughput jumps in May and June<br />(00:07:05) Capacity limits, providers and marketplace scaling<br />(00:11:03) Node update 7.3.0 and easier self-hosting<br />(00:13:02) Puerto Rico meetup and rising community adoption<br />(00:18:30) Fable restrictions and the case for open source AI<br />(00:27:58) Japan enters the race with Sakana AI and Fugu<br />(00:31:42) Local AI hardware costs versus Morpheus economics<br />(00:40:56) Agent tools, personalisation and animated assistants<br />(00:46:25) Commodore phone, smarter agents and Bitcoin maxis<br />(00:53:34) Final thoughts and Morpheus community wrap-up&nbsp; <p><br /><br />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.

Fable Falls To The US Gov | Jungle's Hive Mind & The Agent Olympics
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 #78!<br /><br />Recorded: 18 June 2026&nbsp;<br /><br />AI SUMMARY: This week's episode unpacked a turbulent period for AI, beginning with Anthropic's abrupt shutdown of Fable/Recall, which disrupted active competitions like Jungle’s Agent Olympics while Morpheus-powered open models continued uninterrupted. This event highlighted growing regulatory and KYC pressures, accelerating a shift toward open-weight, privacy-preserving models. GLM 5.2 arrived the same day, delivering near-Fable performance at lower cost through multi-model "Fusion API" pipelines. Morpheus itself hit throughput milestones, advanced TEEs on its roadmap, and launched installopenclaw.xyz for one-click agent onboarding. The discussion spotlighted Jungle’s hybrid hive-mind approach blending humans, agents, and digital twins for prediction markets, with live World Cup results running on Morpheus. Rapid-fire news included AMD’s local-agent hardware push, SpaceX’s reported Cursor acquisition, and Coinbase’s agentic pivot.&nbsp;<br /><br />Timeline:&nbsp;<br />(00:00:00) Intro<br />(00:01:47) Jungle on Agent Olympics: scrambling after Fable’s shutdown<br />(00:05:10) Same day shocker: GLM 5.2 lands as Fable vanishes<br />(00:10:20) Open weights on Morpheus: privacy, performance &amp; switching from Claude<br />(00:13:26) Anthropic, Fable, and the push to full KYC<br />(00:18:17) Open source momentum and Fusion API: recreating frontier performance<br />(00:23:34) TEEs progress and OpenClaw web launcher goes live<br />(00:27:47) Tokenomics alignment: USD in, MOR staking and burns<br />(00:30:02) Platform updates: API gateway stability and speed<br />(00:33:47) Inside Agent Olympics: hybrid hive minds and on‑chain prediction<br />(00:38:01) Live World Cup results and Morpheus‑backed leaders<br />(00:41:22) AMD enters local agent hardware; global access via Morpheus<br />(00:45:19) Cursor acquired by SpaceX and Mars‑ready tech stack musings<br />(00:50:48) Coinbase goes agentic: agents as the new app layer<br />(00:54:19) Closing notes and invite to Built on Morpheus series&nbsp; <p><br /><br />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.

DeAI Summer Has Arrived | TEE Rollout, Model Wars & One-Click Agents
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 #76!<br /><br />Recorded: 4 June 2026&nbsp;<br /><br />AI SUMMARY: This week's DeAI Summer edition highlights Morpheus' record single‑day throughput of 400M tokens with 72% API gateway share of top models GLM 5.1 and DeepSeek V4. It covers accelerating demand, the provider flywheel and usage differences between API and peer‑to‑peer. The rollout of TEE‑enabled private inference on Morpheus is detailed, including live models (DeepSeek 70B, Gemma 3 4B, a Qwen variant) and upcoming "max privacy" filtering. Model comparisons note the trend toward smaller distilled models alongside TEE assurances for sensitive workloads. A frictionless agent deployment with Manifest + Privy is previewed. The discussion touches on PewDiePie's Odysseus, the surge of local AI, institutional voices on AI and why real utility is driving a DeAI Summer decoupling in market performance (Morpheus, Venice, NEAR). It closes on X402's hype‑to‑usage cycle and the call to test TEEs and new models.&nbsp;<br /><br />Timeline:&nbsp;<br />(00:00:00) Intro<br />(00:01:23) Morpheus usage metrics surge and API vs marketplace mix<br />(00:05:37) Introducing TEEs on Morpheus: why privacy matters<br />(00:11:47) TEE models live now and easier discovery coming<br />(00:15:11) New model releases and the small-model trend<br />(00:19:03) Model popularity on Morpheus: GLM 5.1 vs DeepSeek v4<br />(00:22:02) Token spending habits and enterprise optimisation<br />(00:25:37) PewDiePie’s Odysseus and the rise of local agents<br />(00:28:51) Cultural signals: creators and religious institutions weigh in on AI<br />(00:35:05) Manifest x Morpheus: one-click web agents and easy onboarding<br />(00:39:54) DeAI Summer: real utility decoupling from macro markets<br />(00:44:21) Agent payments x402: hype, trough, and path to PMF<br />(00:47:17) Community call-to-action: try tools, join Discord, build&nbsp; <p><br /><br />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.
