Venice AI runs on NEAR AI infra: prompt is encrypted before it leaves device & decrypted in hardware enclave.

Confidential inference. Signed attestation in <30s. Each request verifiable.

Virtuals Protocol is integrating @AskVenice to power AI agent building with private, uncensored inference, available to anyone, anywhere on @base.

Venice brings best-in-class privacy-first inference. Virtuals EconomyOS brings the full agent infrastructure stack: wallets, identity, payments, commerce, funding rails, and launch infrastructure.

We are deploying up to $400,000 in private inference credits so anyone can move from idea to working agent without compute or backend complexity getting in the way.

Start your AI journey. Inference and infra are on us.

Program details soon.

@KookCapitalLLC @TeleCat88 There will never be a “be all end all.” Think of all these different systems as digital countries, the smoother it is to go from one to the other the more you will win. Some cater to privacy, some cater to high frequency trading, others to stablecoins, and others to defi rwa.

The crypto market structure bill has PASSED the Senate Banking Committee with a bi-partisan vote!

Historic day for crypto and for the future of digital assets in America. Grateful for the countless hours from lawmakers and staff to strengthen this legislation. Big improvement from where we were in January on rewards, tokenization, DeFi, and CFTC authority. I'm proud we stood up for our customers in that moment, and the bill is better because of it.

Looking forward to a bipartisan law that cements the US as the world's crypto capital. Let's get CLARITY done.

[Rick @GenesisUTXO]

@JHartley2 @NoLimitGains True but most crypto exposure to anthropic is for price discovery through perpetuals. Basically we are betting on the price only by shorting or longing the company with leverage, we know we don’t own shares. But it is murky when a company is not public yet.

[Rick @GenesisUTXO]

@bittybitbit86 You can say the same about public stocks. Why not just stay private and public stocks shouldn’t exist.

@dragonisnear @jessepollak @base @AskVenice @NEARProtocol I thought they were using akash? Maybe both?

[Erik Voorhees @ErikVoorhees]

It was 2 years ago today that we launched Venice.

So much has changed since then, but not the principles on which we're building it. The separation of mind and state remain just as important.

"Search the world’s information, have rich conversations, analyze documents, create interesting images and art of any style at the push of a button. Various AI services offer these things, so what makes Venice unique?

• Venice doesn’t spy on you
• Venice doesn’t censor the AI

In other words, Venice is private, and Venice is permissionless."

I'm not a Republican nor a Democrat and this is not a political channel.

But I am enjoying the amazing creativity of the LA mayor's race campaign ads.

They are off the charts.

Is this the future of politcal campaigns? (and Hollywood)?

[Solana @solana]

BREAKING: @WesternUnion's @USDPT_ is live on Solana.

A federally regulated digital dollar, issued by @Anchorage Digital, integrated directly into Western Union's infrastructure across 200+ countries.

Borderless money is here.

[Erik Voorhees @ErikVoorhees]

If you're getting your inference from Anthropic or OpenAI or Google, you're being captured by extractive institutions: All your data is going to them (and hackers, rogue employees, governments... both today and tomorrow)

Inference can be private.

GLM 5.1, Kimi K2.6, Deepseek V4... these models are as powerful as any frontier model from just 3 months ago, yet are open source and can be run without betraying your life and data to any 3rd party.

Point your agent to Venice for every private model in one place (plus crypto tools, web search, embeddings, image and video models...).

Could not be easier. Be intentional.

Spirit Airlines died tonight at the hands of the socialist crusader, Elizabeth Warren

She must be so proud to add another casket to her achievements.

Tonight at 3am, Spirit turns off the lights. 14,000 jobs gone. 30+ smaller airports lose service.

JetBlue offered $3.8 BILLION in cash to buy Spirit in 2022. Shareholders, flight attendants union, literally everyone voted yes.

The combined company would have held 9% of the US market against a Big 4 that already owned 80%.

For anyone who understands numbers: 9% isn’t a monopoly against 80%.

Warren said no.

She wrote letters. She pressured Buttigieg. Biden’s DOJ sued. A federal judge killed the deal in January 2024.

Her argument: the merger would cost consumers $1 billion a year.

Now look at her collateral damage she dusts under the rug.

510 pilots gone in the months after. 1,800 flight attendants furloughed in December.

14,000 jobs in 2023. 7,500 last week. Zero tonight.

And that’s just the people in Spirit uniforms.

Catering goes. Fuel guys go. Baggage crews, gate agents, airport coffee shops, hotels and rental cars in 70 cities Spirit flew to. Every airline job carries 3 more on its back.

40,000 people out of work because of one woman’s moronic crusade against the market.

And the math ain’t mathing.

Spirit abandoned 90 routes during the death spiral. Fares on those routes are up 14% on average. Oakland to Newark: $135 to $288. Fort Myers to San Juan: $92 to $219. Kansas City to Newark up 66%.

That’s reality. Not some BS number from a “study.”

So @SenWarren tell me how this saves the consumer money?

Cheap carriers in a market drop fares 21% across the board. Southwest did this in the 90s and saved Americans $68 BILLION over 20 years.

Warren killed it. That’s what moronic politicians led by socialism do.

Then with her own blind arrogance, she tweeted Spirit’s collapse is “a Biden win for flyers.”

A win.

14,000 people are reading termination letters tonight.

And she’s taking credit.

This is socialism in 2026.

A senator who’s never made payroll thinks she knows how to run a market better than the people who own and work in the company.

She saved you a billion on imaginary paper.

She cost you ten times that in real life.

She didn’t protect consumers from anything.

14,000+ will go from working to welfare.

She will make sure to blame billionaires, hardworking tax payers, AI, capitalism and whatever monster they will make up tomorrow hiding under your bed.

Higher taxes. Fewer jobs. More expensive everything.

She called it a win. I hope you enjoy winning.

@HYPEconomist $RENDER and Akash. Solid list.
