Mere Morpheus

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 #60!<br /><br />Recorded: 29 January 2026&nbsp;<br /><br />AI SUMMARY: This week's builders update shows why people buy Mac minis and how to run agents (Moltbot) safely on VMs while comparing local centralised and decentralised inference privacy. It addresses risks like prompt injection, repo impersonation and misconfigured gateways with guidance on secure deployment. Major ecosystem milestones include the 8004 registry going live on mainnet which is foundational for non-fungible agents and an agentic tools marketplace. This supports on-demand tool access, micro-payments and predictable AI usage strengthening staking-for-inference models like Morpheus. A brief update notes Morpheus API billing timelines with the free period extended during testing and an invitation for community members to join early billing tests.&nbsp;<br /><br />Timeline:&nbsp;<br />(00:00:00) Intro<br />(00:01:36) Bitcoin miners as a flexible load buffer for ERCOT<br />(00:03:23) Agentified systems hit the mainstream; community first takes<br />(00:06:33) Laymans explainer: what the agent actually does<br />(00:11:00) Cloud deployments, misconfigured gateways and cautionary tales<br />(00:17:00) Risks deep dive: prompt injection and data exfiltration<br />(00:19:46) Provider choice and privacy: local, decentralised or big API?<br />(00:23:09) Economics of agents and staking-for-inference viability<br />(00:27:32) Shifting to Morpheus updates; pending Cloudbot integration PR<br />(00:28:49) Standard 8004 goes live: identity, validation and reputation<br />(00:33:12) Why 8004 + marketplaces matter: trust, rent-vs-buy, x402<br />(00:36:35) Real-world exploits, privacy urgency and secure inference<br />(00:38:08) Morpheus API billing timeline, credits and migration support<br />(00:40:00) Wrap-up and next weeks catch-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.

So enjoy Episode #59!<br /><br />Recorded: 22 January 2026&nbsp;<br /><br />AI SUMMARY: This week's builders update features Kyle, David, Bo and active builders unpacking the Morpheus Inference API's evolution for developers seeking reliability cost efficiency privacy and censorship resistance. It discusses the shift from early gateway iterations to the production-ready API infrastructure improvements like RPC autoscaling and why teams choose Morpheus over centralised providers that can throttle censor or shut down apps. Nima creator of DissentBot and DissentWatch shares experiences building uncensorable AI tools on Morpheus implementing staking-aware features and model choices. The conversation explores builder communities cost realities and the case for owning intelligence via open-source permissionless infrastructure that can't be turned off.&nbsp;<br /><br />Timeline:&nbsp;<br />(00:00:00) Intro<br />(00:01:31) Rebrand: introducing the Morpheus Inference API<br />(00:05:01) Guest setup: inviting Irida TV (economics junkie) to speak<br />(00:10:16) Centralised risk vs permissionless access<br />(00:14:58) Open vs closed models: censorship, privacy and access<br />(00:18:10) Marketplace dynamics: third‑party models and anonymised access<br />(00:22:08) Model demand: Venice, DeepSeek and uncensored fine‑tunes<br />(00:25:45) Censorship levels across providers<br />(00:28:39) Adoption, distribution and why this matters globally<br />(00:31:22) Framing freedom tech beyond politics<br />(00:35:23) Open source wins long‑term: Linux analogy<br />(00:37:02) Finding the builder community: Discords, X and meetups<br />(00:42:02) AI writing tells and the human touch<br />(00:45:00) Cost matters: democratizing inference for builders<br />(00:48:56) Managing inference budgets: local vs cloud<br />(00:51:40) Closing: doubling down on Morpheus and open source&nbsp;</p> <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.

So enjoy Episode #57!<br /><br />Recorded: 8 January 2026&nbsp;<br /><br />AI SUMMARY: 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. A new subnet staking attribution API is highlighted to make it easier for builders to programmatically grant user credits. 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. The discussion explores live deployments in Trinidad including programs for unemployed graduates and a Hearts &amp; Minds police unit initiative as well as broader conversations on education incentives and using staking to make learning accessible. The episode wraps with community and regional updates including Morpheus Asia's short-form content push a government-backed Malaysian hackathon and a demo day to accelerate top university teams.<br /><br />Timeline:&nbsp;<br />(00:00:00) Intro<br />(00:01:17) Morpheus product updates: chat history changes and data purge<br />(00:03:36) API billing roadmap, free inference through month end<br />(00:06:11) Brainpower Season 2 launch and lighter community vibe<br />(00:07:46) Roger on Ludwig: a new kind of university for the AI era<br />(00:10:12) Application‑layer communication as the third literacy<br />(00:12:06) Foundational skills platform and Trinidad pilot results<br />(00:15:10) How Morpheus powers Ludwig: grading via inference and subnets<br />(00:20:28) Subnet credits API and smoother staker attribution<br />(00:23:43) Integration experience: Morpheus vs centralised APIs<br />(00:33:00) Optimisation vs innovation: how the internet reshaped institutions (00:36:06) AI, logic, and the future of credentialism<br />(00:40:20) Back to basics: literacy and numeracy as prerequisites<br />(00:47:17) Universal access idea: municipal staking for education<br />(00:51:21) Morpheus Asia: short‑form content, Malaysia hackathon, demo day<br />(00:55:00) Closing: builder ecosystem, collaboration invites, next session&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.
