Mere Morpheus

Kyrin Down

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.

    Official AI pDOOM is at 10%? | Morpheus Crosses 10 Billion P2P Tokens

    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 #90! Recorded: 10 September 2026 AI SUMMARY: In this week's town hall a huge moment for the Morpheus network arrived as it closed in on 50 billion tokens processed year-to-date and crossed 10 billion peer-to-peer tokens live. Real usage is growing with rapid new model releases from players like DeepSeek and GLM and cheaper stronger flash models are bringing practical everyday AI workflows closer. Personal multi-agent setups are already useful in daily life from automated research to custom morning briefings making intelligence more accessible and more personal. The gap between fear-driven AI headlines and meaningful solutions remains wide while Morpheus keeps focus on open transparent and decentralised access and proof of identity and verifiable systems grow more important as AI-generated scams and synthetic media improve.
