21 in 21: 0xSero on Local AI, Open Models, and Benchmarking

0xSero joins Haley Berkoe on 21 in 21 to discuss local AI, open models, and his soon-to-be-released platform for benchmarking open models and hardware (local.ai). He explains how his team benchmarks models and hardware, why local AI is becoming more capable and affordable, and why ownership and control matter as more people build their work around AI. They also discuss open-source AI culture, agentic payments, and what people can do to start experimenting with local models. FOLLOW: https://x.com/0xsero https://x.com/HBerkoe LINKS https://local.ai

21 in 21: Bradley Axen on Buzz, goose, and AI at Block

Haley Berkoe sits down with Bradley Axen, who is leading many of Block's AI initiatives, including Buzz, a new open-source collaboration platform designed for humans and AI agents to work together. He also helped create goose, the open-source AI agent that was later donated to the Agentic AI Foundation under the Linux Foundation. They discuss how Block is using AI internally with tools like Builder Bot to help engineers navigate massive codebases, automate incident response, and collaborate more effectively. Brad also shares his thoughts on where open-source AI is headed, why model flexibility matters, and how new open source AI contributors can get involved.

21 in 21: Mic Neale on goose, Mesh LLM, and Open Source AI

Mic Neale, a member of the Spiral team at Block and a core developer of goose, an open source AI agent, joins Haley Berkoe on 21 in 21 to discuss goose, Mesh LLM, and open source AI. Mic shares how goose has evolved from a desktop app and CLI into the goose Development Kit (GDK), making it easier for developers to build AI applications. He also explains how Mesh LLM pools idle compute across devices, why local models and peer-to-peer infrastructure matter, and where he sees the overlap between bitcoin and open source AI. As a longtime open source contributor, Mic closes with advice for anyone looking to get involved in open source projects.

21 in 21: Rainey Reitman on Transaction Denied and Financial Censorship

Rainey Reitman joins 21 in 21 for a conversation on financial censorship, free speech, and her new book, Transaction Denied: Big Finance’s Power to Punish Speech. Rainey co-founded Freedom of the Press Foundation and serves on the board as president. She also spent 11 years at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, first as Activism Director and later as Chief Program Officer. Drawing on years of work in civil liberties advocacy, Rainey explains how lawful speech can still lead to frozen accounts, denied payments, and exclusion from the financial system. She also shares how these issues connect to journalism, whistleblowers, privacy, and Bitcoin’s promise, and limits, as a censorship-resistant tool.

21 in 21: Michael Saylor on Bitcoin, AI, and Advice for Builders

Michael Saylor joined Haley Berkoe on 21 in 21 for a rapid-fire conversation on bitcoin, AI, and what’s coming next. He shares what’s top of mind for 2026, why he sees this year as a major turning point, and how he thinks bitcoin could evolve as digital capital beneath new layers of credit and currency. Then, Saylor gets into how AI will radically transform civilization, and how that shift could make bitcoin even more important in a world where autonomous agents need to transact constantly with digital capital. He points to Strategy’s use of AI in creating digital credit products like Stretch (STRC), and shares the kinds of bitcoin products he hopes to see, from deeper integration into everyday technology to applications powered by bitcoin. Saylor emphasizes that we’re entering one of the most fertile periods ever for building, and encourages builders and young people to spend a lot of time learning AI tools and continually pushing themselves to create something new and useful. There are also a few fun detours into MIT prank stories and the AI-generated X profile images he’s become known for.
