Builder is next Thursday at @PresidioBitcoin!
@ttunguz will be speaking about localmaxxing. The full agenda will be announced soon.
If there's a topic or demo you'd like to see, let us know in the comments. RSVP below!
On this episode of 21 in 21, @callebtc talks to @Hberkoe about Cashu, bitchat & Clawi. He explains how bitcoin-native payments could power AI agents and why privacy-preserving infrastructure matters in the agentic internet age.
Builder is tomorrow night at @PresidioBitcoin!
This month’s meetup is a Socratic seminar on recent AI news and conversations. @moneyball and @HBerkoe have topics queued up, but let us know if there’s anything you want to discuss.
Thanks to @Bitwise for sponsoring the pizza!
i'm spreading new love for use of the ₿ symbol:

what's inside?
- the case for expressing bitcoin with ₿
- teach your agent the skill
- edit a screenshot
- keyboard shortcuts for typing
- list of wallets that have adopted
- many instances of ₿

Itty Bitty and his new itty-bitty sloth friend
Thanks @unslothAI for stopping by @TheAhmadOsman’s local AI meetup at @PresidioBitcoin and contributing to the plushie collection!
Love that you chose Cafe Francisco! They use Square and accept bitcoin. If you encourage people to pay with Cash App, that helps them save on credit card fees (0% vs ~3%). Customers use dollars (and get 5% back), cafe gets dollars, bitcoin's just the rail. Happy to show you how!
Meet Loupe, an AI-powered vulnerability scanner for open-source bitcoin projects. Attackers already use AI to find weaknesses. Maintainers should do the same.
Bitcoin Core, BDK, LDK, rust-bitcoin, Cashu, Jade, bitcoinj, and SRI are already onboard.

The first Local AI Get-Together was a massive success
This pic is missing quite a few people who left before we hit the 4-hour mark, but thank you to everyone who stopped by 💙
Local AI is very real, very alive, and apparently willing to talk GPUs, open weights, inference engines, agents, and homelabs for hours
We should do this again soon
.@dksf calls last month’s @bBuilderSF his favorite one yet.
In the clip below, PBJ unpacks @michaelneale’s mesh-llm and what it suggests about the future of distributed AI compute.
Timestamps:
0:00 - Builder meetup’s evolution from vibe coding to AI infra
02:44 - Mesh-LLM and the promise of decentralized compute
07:10 - New markets for distributed AI compute (e.g., intra-enterprise)
09:25 - Local AI and the return of hardware constraints
Bay Area people:
I got way more DMs than expected, so I’m making this official-ish
Casual SF Get-together this Saturday, May 9th
No panels
No pitch decks
No formal agenda
No fake networking energy
Just local AI / GPUs / infra / opensource / agents / homelab people hanging out
@TheAhmadOsman We may be able to host you at @PresidioBitcoin! The space is great for meetups (easy parking, good AV/wifi, and view of Golden Gate Bridge)
@TheAhmadOsman If you ever want to host a meetup while you’re here, I’m sure the beautiful @PresidioBitcoin hub in the presidio would love to have you.
