    Finding the Right AI ft. Andrew Hill, CEO, Recall

    Agentic AI is hitting an inflection point. Models can reason, act, and collaborate, but can we trust them? In crypto, the stakes are higher: incentives are real, outcomes are on-chain, and bad agents can cause real damage. Welcome to Agents Unleashed, the show that helps you find signal in the noisy world of agentic AI. Hosted by Thomas Maybrier, this bonus episode features Andrew Hill, CEO of Recall, on how we evaluate and enhance AI agent performance, especially in crypto. We dig into why trust, verification, and incentives matter, how blockchain can provide ground truth, and why community participation is essential to shaping the future of agentic AI. In This Episode: What Recall is and how it evaluates agent performanceWhy trust, verification, and incentives are the core of agent reliabilityHow crypto rails provide transparent verification for AI agentsWhy “agentic AI” is still early and why that’s excitingFrom trading to tooling: the next wave of agent use casesWays to engage with Recall: build, contribute, or simply spectateHow communities accelerate safer, smarter agent development Resources & Links Agents Unleashed → https://olas.network/agents-unleashed Olas Whitepaper → https://olas.network/documents/whitepaper/Whitepaper%20v1.0.pdf Listener Survey → https://olas.network/blog/pod-survey Follow Thomas on X → https://x.com/thomasmaybrier Follow Andrew on X → https://x.com/andrewxhill Recall → https://recall.network/ 🎵 Theme music: “Forward” by Grand Project on Pixabay: https://pixabay.com/users/grand_project-19033897/ Sponsored by Olas: Build and own AI agents → https://olas.network

    Security By Design

    AI agents are under attack. From prompt injection exploits to invisible system takeovers, new security threats are forcing a rethink of how we build, test, and trust autonomous systems. Welcome to Episode 23 of the Agents Unleashed Podcast, the show that helps you find signal in the noisy world of agentic AI. Hosted by Thomas Maybrier, this episode investigates the growing danger of prompt injection, and how attackers are learning to hijack AI agents to steal data, drain wallets, and impersonate users. But it’s not all bad news: Thomas also explores how open-source workflows, decentralized protocols, and new evaluation tools like Olas Predict may offer a more secure path forward. In This Episode: Why prompt injection is the #1 threat for AI agents Real-world hacks from BlackHat What red teaming has revealed about agent behavior How Olas agents handle trust-minimization, verification, and incentives Chapters 00:00 – Welcome to Agents Unleashed 00:50 – Real-world prompt injection at Black Hat 03:21 – NVIDIAGTC demo: multi-agent red teaming 04:07 – Why prompt injection is a systemic threat 04:56 – The risks of compromised agents 05:16 – How do we make AI agents trustworthy? 06:19 – How Olas manages risk Resources & Links: Agents Unleashed in Singapore → https://olas.network/agents-unleashed Olas Whitepaper → https://olas.network/documents/whitepaper/Whitepaper%20v1.0.pdf Listener Survey → https://olas.network/blog/pod-survey CopyPasta License Attack → https://hiddenlayer.com/innovation-hub/prompts-gone-viral-practical-code-assistant-ai-viruses/ Follow Thomas on X → https://x.com/thomasmaybrier 🎵 Theme music: “Forward” by Grand Project on Pixabay: https://pixabay.com/users/grand_project-19033897/ 💬 Like, subscribe, and leave a comment to support the show.

    Can We Trust AI?

    AI chatbots are lying more than ever. Why is this, and what can we do about it? Welcome to Episode 22 of the Agents Unleashed Podcast, the show that helps you find signal in the noisy world of agentic AI. Hosted by Thomas Maybrier, this episode dives into two fast-moving developments with big implications for truth and trust in AI systems: A sharp rise in chatbot misinformation, driven by changes in model refusal rates and real-time web access — and the emergence of autonomous betting agents that use market dynamics to generate more reliable outputs. At the center of this conversation is Olas Predict, a new multi-agent forecasting protocol built around competitive prediction markets and agent performance incentives. In This Episode: Why AI models are getting more confident — and more wrong What NewsGuard’s audit reveals about LLM truthfulness The consequences of declining refusal rates Betting agents and “market-based truth” How Olas Predict works, and what makes it different Why ownable, autonomous agents may be the path forward Resources & Links: NewsGuard Report → https://www.axios.com Olas Predict → https://olas.network/predict Olas Whitepaper → https://olas.network/documents/whitepaper/Whitepaper%20v1.0.pdf Listener Survey → https://olas.network/blog/pod-survey Agents Unleashed episode 19 → https://youtu.be/wgtvNr8BiGs Databricks raise → https://www.pymnts.com/news/investment-tracker/2025/databricks-raises-1-billion-to-launch-new-products-for-building-ai-agents/ Salesforce's worker shakeup → https://ppc.land/salesforce-ceo-details-ai-agents-handling-50-of-company-work/ xAI launches "Macrohard" → https://www.webpronews.com/elon-musks-xai-launches-macrohard-to-rival-microsoft-with-ai-agents/ New web standards could limit agent's access to the web → https://archive.is/n6iZY Follow Thomas on X → https://x.com/thomasmaybrier 🎵 Theme music: “Forward” by Grand Project on Pixabay: https://pixabay.com/users/grand_project-19033897/ 💬 Like, subscribe, and leave a comment to support the show.

    Building Tomorrow's AI, Together ft Marco De Rossi, AI Lead at Metamask

    Welcome to Episode 21 of the Agents Unleashed Podcast, the show that helps you find signal in the noisy world of agentic AI. Hosted by Thomas Maybrier this episode dives into two pillars shaping the future of the agent economy: Prime Intellect’s Environments Hub, an open-source initiative to build a shared library of reinforcement learning environments, designed to keep open AGI competitive with closed labs. Ethereum’s ERC-8004 (“Trustless Agents”), a draft proposal for giving AI agents a first-class identity on-chain. We’re joined by co-author Marco De Rossi, AI Lead at MetaMask and co-author of the proposal, to unpack what it means. In This Episode: Why open environments matter for the future of open-source AGI The cultural mission behind Prime Intellect’s Environments Hub How ERC-8004 could become the ERC-721 of AI agents Three approaches to “trust” for decentralized agents The link back to Olas: Registry pattern and the Mech Marketplace as live proofs Resources & Links: Prime Intellect Environments Hub → https://primeintellect.ai Ethereum ERC-8004 Draft → https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-8004 Olas Whitepaper → https://olas.network/documents/whitepaper/Whitepaper%20v1.0.pdf David Minarsch on X → https://x.com/david_enim/status/1958927494825845239 Olas: Build and own AI agents → https://olas.network Listener Survey → https://olas.network/blog/pod-survey 🎵 Theme music: “Forward” by Grand Project on Pixabay: https://pixabay.com/users/grand_project-19033897/ 💬 Like, subscribe, and leave a comment!

    Agents On-Chain and In-Lab

    Are AI agents going to take over Ethereum? Welcome to Episode 19 of the Agents Unleashed Podcast, the show that helps you find signal in the noisy world of agentic AI.In this episode, host Thomas Maybrier explores Base’s HTTP x402 vision for machine-to-machine payments, shows how the Olas ecosystem already enables millions of agent-to-agent transactions through the Mech Marketplace, and looks at what happens when AI wanders to the fringes of science (hello, weird and wonderful physics). We also dig into how OpenLedger credits data contributors so user-owned AI isn’t just a slogan, it's a path for credit and compensation.What we cover: • Base’s HTTP X402 (machine payments) — and where it fits• How Olas makes agent-to-agent transactions real today (Mech Marketplace)• Registry, staking, and delivery guarantees most teams miss• AI’s strange-but-promising physics discovery — and why “AI explores, humans verify”• How OpenLedger gives data contributors credit and a cut• What it all means for user-owned, decentralized AIResources & Links🎯 Own & monetize your AI agents → https://olas.networkAgents Unleashed events & replays → https://olas.network/agents-unleashedFollow Thomas on X → https://x.com/thomasmaybrierListener Survey (win 500 OLAS, T&Cs apply) → https://olas.network/blog/pod-surveyThis episode is sponsored by Sigil Fund, a top-performing regulated crypto hedge fund since 2018.
