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.

Where Is Fable On The Morpheus Spectrum? | Rate Your Agents Sovereignty
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 #77!<br /><br />Recorded: 11 June 2026&nbsp;<br /><br />AI SUMMARY: This week covered Fable 5's rollout on the Morpheus marketplace where an anonymous provider boosts privacy and access. The new tech.mor.org UX helps builders visualize their agent's position, calculate costs and explore models. The discussion emphasized hybrid setups using small local models with Morpheus-routed frontier models for heavy tasks, highlighting the network's resilience as a business advantage over closed ecosystems with silent restrictions. Fast-growing throughput was noted with DeepSeek V4 Flash leading usage. Updates included Hermes's iMessage integration lowering friction, a web-first agent experience calling for testers and Coinbase's new MCP client. The conversation looked ahead to an agent-first web, suggesting builders visit tech.mor.org to gauge their agent's sovereignty and explore fitting paths<br /><br />Timeline:&nbsp;<br />(00:00:00) Intro<br />(00:02:26) Introducing tech.mor.org: mapping your agent on the spectrum<br />(00:05:16) Alan on designing the spectrum UX and task‑by‑task privacy fit<br />(00:10:05) Network growth: 15B+ tokens and shifting top models<br />(00:13:38) Fable 5 in practice: $20 prompts that squash stubborn bugs<br />(00:16:41) Ecosystem lift: frontier gains flowing to open source and local<br />(00:19:20) Censorship, downgrades and the case for permissionless AI<br />(00:24:55) IP claims and contributors: who owns your AI‑assisted work?<br />(00:28:10) Positioning Morpheus to benefit from every breakthrough<br />(00:30:06) Harnesses: OpenClaw, Hermes and iMessage lowers friction<br />(00:34:33) Built on Morpheus: Dapit demo and one‑shot game creation<br />(00:37:26) Early‑mover advantage: open doors for agent traffic<br />(00:40:57) Wrap‑up: steady releases &amp; self‑sovereign access <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.

So enjoy Episode #74!<br /><br />Recorded: 23 May 2026&nbsp;<br /><br />AI SUMMARY: The episode covers the open-source model landscape, highlighting Atomics' Tetris-bot experiment where QUEN 3.7 outperformed Opus 4.7 and GPT‑5.5 on both performance and cost. This signals growing parity between open and closed models for coding and agent workflows. It then details Morpheus ecosystem updates including new API Gateway endpoints for usage visibility agent-first documentation on the router and TEE-powered privacy and network model consumption trends. The discussion touches on Hermes' surge with agents the rising theme of "productive compute" via staking and how Venice's growth raises awareness for both centralised and decentralised options.

The MOR-DIEM Synergy | Hermes Overtakes OpenClaw
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 #73!<br /><br />Recorded: 14 May 2026&nbsp;<br /><br />AI SUMMARY:&nbsp; Ryan Condron launched mordiem.com, letting Venice DIEM holders stake unused inference to Morpheus (boosting compute and earning yield) plus options to stake MOR for user inference or to the MorDiem builder pool at 20% APY. This strengthens Morpheus as a permissionless inference aggregator. Hermes has overtaken OpenClaw as the top open‑source agent framework due to better memory, self‑improving skills and easier migration. Security discussion covers recent npm supply chain attacks and dependency audits. The US Clarity Act clearing committee may impact decentralized markets. The episode closes with best practices for agent permissions, connecting Hermes with the Morpheus skill and popular models like GLM 5.1/Gemma on the network.<br /><br />Timeline:&nbsp;<br />(00:00:00) Intro<br />(00:01:58) Introducing mordiem: putting unused DIEM to work<br />(00:04:03) Why this matters: incentives across Morpheus, Venice, and users<br />(00:06:17) Morpheus as an inference aggregator, DeFi analogies<br />(00:10:17) Hermes agent overtakes OpenClaw in usage<br />(00:18:54) Migrating from OpenClaw to Hermes: tooling and tips<br />(00:21:11) Quirks and credit drain issues with OpenClaw<br />(00:24:01) No single winner: evolving agent frameworks and skills<br />(00:29:55) Halftime note: Brainpower podcast with Emad, AI research highlights<br />(00:33:08) Supply chain attacks explained: TANStack, Mistral, UAI path<br />(00:36:46) Practical security guidance and agent‑assisted checks<br />(00:42:35) US Clarity Act progress and implications for crypto<br />(00:44:51) Community segment: sharing inference and value capture<br />(00:48:03) Community chat: events, daily agent use, and open models<br />(00:51:06) Getting started with agents: Hermes + Morpheus skill<br />(00:54:04) Operationalising agents: permissions, SOPs, and safeguards<br />(00:57:59) Builders corner: Discord sharing and top models on Morpheus<br />(00:59:41) Wrap up and next steps&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.
