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.

Agent Looping Towards Recursive Self Improvement | Token2049 Reflections
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 #94! Recorded: 8 October 2026 AI SUMMARY: In this week's town hall David was caught live from Token2049 in Singapore where one of the clearest themes was how quickly the conversation has shifted from "AI" to "agents". That shift matters for decentralised AI and Morpheus usage growth is resonating strongly while open-weight models drive real adoption through dramatically lower costs better privacy and stronger user sovereignty. The growing overlap between communities focused on private money and private intelligence stands out alongside Morpheus' fair-launch protocol-first design in a market where many assume every project must be a company. A practical node update focuses on security hardening for providers plus ongoing work to make model routing more consistent across a diverse provider network. David walked through "looping" as the next major unlock after building an agent's brain using coordinating auditing and learning agents to supervise work restart stalled tasks improve prompts and steadily increase autonomous output. The broader landscape includes Mistral's new open-weight model and rising attention on post-quantum cryptography while the real opportunity ahead is making decentralised AI simple enough for anyone to use while scaling the compute needed for millions of agents doing meaningful work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLibYErC5pM Timeline: (00:00:00) Intro (00:01:13) Token2049 trends and the rise of AI agents (00:03:03) Morpheus usage growth, models and provider expansion (00:07:05) Privacy, Zcash parallels and protocol values (00:09:25) Provider node security update and hardening (00:13:47) Routing improvements for provider compatibility (00:17:19) Agent looping and recursive self improvement (00:28:34) Why agent demand will drive massive compute needs (00:33:17) Agent adoption, open ecosystems and daily use cases (00:38:11) Mistral release and open weight model momentum (00:41:03) AI, cryptography and preparing for Q Day (00:54:54) FTX reflections, crypto history and Zcash questions 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.

Setting Up Your Agents Brain Demo | Cold Wallets & Compute Records
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 #93! Recorded: 1 October 2026 AI SUMMARY: In this week's town hall a snapshot of the Morpheus network showed a new all-time high in September for tokens processed natively through the compute marketplace and more than 57 billion tokens processed year to date. Protocol and product updates across the compute router and Morpheus UI bring better support for long chat responses stability fixes multi-wallet improvements and additional security safeguards. A major focus is better cold wallet support so users can keep Morpheus tokens in cold storage while authorising a separate hot wallet for node operations reducing risk while staking and participating in the network. A practical look at building better agents used David's open-source work with Bernardo as a real example giving agents a "brain" through long-term memory context management session analysis and SOP indexing so they work more accurately without repeating past work. Next steps span looping to recursive self-improvement alongside the industry trend toward open-weight models the growing importance of permissionless AI access and why open-source infrastructure matters more than ever as governments and large platforms place more restrictions around AI usage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNGY2NpvAKw Timeline: (00:00:00) Intro (00:00:30) Network growth update (00:02:18) Compute router updates and new contributors (00:05:00) Cold wallet staking and stronger security safeguards (00:09:24) Why agent building demos matter (00:10:54) Bernardo and the OpenClaw brain setup (00:17:44) SOPs, context management and long term memory (00:30:15) Open source AI economics and UK restrictions (00:35:18) Astana talks and Token 2049 meetup plans 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.

Grokbot UPLINKED To Morpheus | Live Demo Time
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 #92! Recorded: 24 September 2026 AI SUMMARY: In this week's town hall Morpheus network throughput closed in on 55 billion tokens processed year to date and September became the biggest month yet for native compute router calls. A bigger shift across AI is moving the conversation away from model hype and benchmark chasing toward what matters in practice: cost per successful task hours of work completed money earned and real business value created by agents. Recursive self-improvement may matter more at the agent level than the model level with agents learning preferences improving workflows and compounding usefulness over time. Alan demonstrated Grokbot connected to Morpheus through Uplink showing how a personal API gateway gives users a simpler more sovereign way to access decentralised inference including creating keys testing connectivity monitoring sessions and staking and using a mixture-of-models approach inside an agent workflow. The rapid release cadence of frontier models and decision models like Jev for routing and classification point to a next wave of AI adoption defined less by raw intelligence claims and more by whether systems reliably help people ship products save time and build real businesses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1HgW_8b-P8 Timeline: (00:00:00) Intro (00:00:30) Morpheus throughput hits a record month (00:01:59) Which models are holding up best on the network (00:04:17) Cost per successful task becomes the real benchmark (00:08:15) From benchmarks to business value and time gained (00:13:49) Rapid prototyping, open projects and finding product fit (00:16:47) Alan demos Uplink and the Grokbot to Morpheus flow (00:22:52) Inside Uplink, API keys, sessions and secure access (00:31:13) Connecting Grokbot crew to Morpheus inference (00:41:50) Why Uplink matters for decentralised AI access (00:44:12) Frontier model release speed and agent RSI (00:53:39) Jev style decision models and routing use cases (00:57:59) Meta hardware, consumer agents and AI politics 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.
