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.

    Decentralised Inference | Everything You Need To Know With Kevin Simback

    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 #81! Recorded: 9 July 2026  AI SUMMARY:  This week's episode opened with a Morpheus network update highlighting node version 7.5 a key release for providers. It introduces provider self‑reporting where nodes test their configured internal models on boot and hourly reporting whether downstream endpoints are working. This gives providers better troubleshooting data and offers the network a clearer picture of health at the bid level without inflating throughput numbers with artificial checks. A milestone update noted Morpheus has processed over 20 billion tokens year to date with July on pace to be the first 10 billion token month.  The conversation then shifted to a discussion with Kevin Simback of Delphi on decentralized AI focusing on four hard problems: sharded inference for large models model verification privacy across nodes and balancing supply and demand in the marketplace. The talk explored why decentralized AI grows in importance amid concerns over centralized provider dependence government controls privacy and vendor lock‑in. The episode wrapped with Rob sharing the evolution of Cashew into Morscan an open‑source scanner designed to give the community a transparent view into marketplace activity and network analytics.  Timeline:  (00:00:00) Intro (00:00:30) Node 7.5 rollout and provider self reporting (00:05:43) Throughput growth and a 10 billion token month pace (00:07:57) Introducing Kevin Simback and the DeAI discussion (00:10:05) The four hard problems in decentralized AI (00:17:37) Composability across DAI projects and shared progress (00:26:01) Who will adopt DAI first: consumers or enterprises (00:35:31) Privacy trade offs, regulation, and catalyst events (00:43:16) Projects to watch, traction and proving real usage (00:55:48) Morscan launch and better network visibility  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.

    Fable Fever Dream Finally Finished? | MOR Usage Up, Venice Victory & Runebook

    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 #80! Recorded: 3 July 2026  AI SUMMARY: This week's episode showcases how Morpheus processed 20 billion tokens with monthly throughput jumping from 3 billion in May to over 7 billion in June. This growth reflects rising demand for its open‑source, decentralized AI infrastructure offering better access, resilience, privacy and cost. Joseph from Runebook discussed its shift from an AI RPG to a broader story adventure platform (now in early access). The conversation widened to the return of restricted premium frontier models versus strong open‑source alternatives like GLM 5.2 and what this means for builders balancing quality/cost/access. It wrapped with Venice’s $65 million Series A and the debate around token‑plus‑equity models, emphasizing that strong products and execution matter more than timeline noise. Despite lighter attendance the ecosystem continues building and scaling for larger adoption ahead.  Timeline:  (00:00:00) Intro (00:02:45) Why demand is rising for decentralised AI (00:08:20) Scaling for the economy of super intelligence (00:10:33) Alan on network stability and product updates (00:12:25) Runebook rebrand and early access launch (00:18:20) Fable returns with high costs and tight limits (00:24:27) Codex, Claude and GLM 5.2 for AI coding (00:31:16) Node Neo progress and Morpheus developer tools (00:33:01) Venice funding round and token debate (00:53:22) Runebook feedback, market mood and community wrap up  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.
