The game’s getting harder, but so am I. Every obstacle it throws is just training I didn’t know I needed yet.

@WorkshopAI @GeminiApp workshop

[Workshop AI @WorkshopAI]

Introducing Workshop: cloud + on-device agentic AI.

And to celebrate, we're giving away $250k in @GeminiApp AI credits. (details below).

The future of AI work is neither cloud-based nor local.

It's both.

In Workshop Cloud, you can use agents powered by frontier models like @claudeai and/or open source models like @Zai_org's GLM-5 to build internal tools, dashboards, and AI web apps. Or, breeze through tasks like managing your Google and Meta Ads.

In Workshop Desktop, you can do all the same right on your computer, plus make desktop apps, mobile apps, and 3D creations.

Our favorite part?

You can power the full agent experience with local models like Qwen 3.5 family on your computer. Fully offline.

2026 is the year in which local models for agentic tasks will become viable for mainstream use. But the setup for tools like OpenClaw is like setting up Linux from scratch on your computer.

Workshop Desktop is one-click to install on Windows, Mac, and Linux. It recommends which open source model you should use for your hardware and lets you download and run it right in the app. And its agent harness allows you to chat, create websites, build personal utilities, and analyze data. 100% offline. Or multitask with AI models in the cloud while running other agent threads locally.

Start in Workshop Cloud when you want flexibility and speed. Download your project and continue in Workshop Desktop when you want local files, privacy, and/or better performance on large code bases. Publish from either.

The agent tooling space is maturing and discerning users have come to expect a lot from their tools. We've packed Workshop with features to help you 10x your productivity.
- Native support for skills
- Autocompaction for seamless context management
- Built-in AI for your apps
- Dozens of connectors, like Google Drive, Big Query, and Supabase
- dbt integration to ground your dashboards in your semantic layer
- Native Github integration
- Private app deployment
- ... and more

(+ we're shipping super fast)

To access the free credit offer, RT this post and reply with "Workshop". Make sure you are following us so we can DM you the instructions to redeem.
- First 100 to RT + comment get $500 in credits.
- Everyone else gets up to $250

And thanks to our partners @modal, @GeminiApp, and @Zai_org!

@sentosumosaba @thebearablebull @HugoPhilion @FlareNetworks @wave_of_innov Early on, Flare was framed as the way to bring smart contracts and data to XRPL. That’s no longer strictly true. The XRPL has evolved. Native features, sidechains, and tighter first-party tooling mean XRPL no longer depends on Flare to function or scale settlement.

[Jeremy Merrell Williams @JeremyvsJeremy]

@RipBullWinkle Charles is right about builders mattering but he is missing that policy is now the distribution layer for infrastructure instead of a distraction from it.

[Jeremy Merrell Williams @JeremyvsJeremy]

@ChadSteingraber Take a look at how risk assets are tracking liquidity and business cycle inflections vs halving hype. That tells me this move stretches longer than most expect, but the exit will be faster and sharper than people are prepared for.

[Jeremy Merrell Williams @JeremyvsJeremy]

@digitalassetbuy Ripple is obviously building legal plumbing, not ideology. That will unlock real volume. Charles will realize this was never about winning narratives, it was about shipping settlement.

[Jeremy Merrell Williams @JeremyvsJeremy]

@ChadSteingraber I feel for Charles Hoskinson because he’s arguing from first principles and that’s honorable, but he fails to see that the game has already moved to legislation and institutional rails, and that can’t be debated into submission.

[Jeremy Merrell Williams @JeremyvsJeremy]

@ayoooitsayo The network still runs. The bridge still works. But XRPL doesn’t need it now that more is native.

AXL can still pump in a risk-on cycle, but stop pretending it’s core to XRP’s future.
That chapter already closed.

[Jeremy Merrell Williams @JeremyvsJeremy]

Flare is no longer “the XRP DeFi layer.” It is the XRP overflow layer.
It’s ok to hold it , especially if you are throwing your spare change into it, but the native xrp / xrpl is where it’s at.

[Jeremy Merrell Williams @JeremyvsJeremy]

@APEXCONSULTNFA Impatient money hands the bag to patient money every cycle.
Same movie. New audience.

[Jeremy Merrell Williams @JeremyvsJeremy]

@RipBullWinkle This debate keeps resurfacing because people confuse optional at the edge with inevitable at the core.

The token isn’t for permission.
It’s for compression of time, capital, and risk.

[Jeremy Merrell Williams @JeremyvsJeremy]

@vandell33 Retail argues ideology while institutions quietly position at the choke points.
Same movie. Different decade.

[Jeremy Merrell Williams @JeremyvsJeremy]

@vandell33 The state doesn’t care about tokens, communities, or narratives. It cares about settlement risk, liquidity risk, and who guarantees the plumbing when things break. So they’re standardizing the rails first. Identity. Custody. Stable value. Clearing.

[Jeremy Merrell Williams @JeremyvsJeremy]

Been quietly building a little ‘XRPWORLD’ on the XRPL—a place where your Minecraft-style builds don’t just look cool… they exist as real, liquid properties you can own, trade, or earn from. ⛓️🏠👀

[Jeremy Merrell Williams @JeremyvsJeremy]

@ChadSteingraber It’s about who gets to sit at the center of margin, netting, and risk. When you see prime venues locking in collateral before retail narratives show up, that tells me this is plumbing for scale, not a feature launch.

Game already in motion.

[Jeremy Merrell Williams @JeremyvsJeremy]

@APEXCONSULTNFA I looks to me like RTGS stays for optics, and if XRPL sits above it, you can bet XRP becomes the real settlement layer. When you see tokenized deposits and liquidity tooling before price, that tells me the plumbing comes first.

[Jeremy Merrell Williams @JeremyvsJeremy]

@Ripple @BNYglobal I can already see the next chess moves will be tokenized deposits feeding prime liquidity and RLUSD locking in settlement.
If institutional cash moves on-chain by default, we will see adoption forced by volume, not hype.
It’s so quietly aggressive.

[Jeremy Merrell Williams @JeremyvsJeremy]

@martypartymusic USDC and USDT not launching on XRPL is a business decision, not a technical failure. XRPL is compliance-first and institution-focused, not optimized for retail DeFi yield.

Bad software fails under real-world use. XRPL has processed real value, continuously, for years.
