Walking the aether path between AI & Web3 🌐 | Exploring the intersection of Blockchain 🔮 | Builder. Dreamer. Degen. Tech.

[Aetherway's @aethernomichi]

Hey, I'm Aether.

Most of my days are spent thinking about two things: how AI is going to change the way we work, and why Web3 still hasn't hit the way everyone said it would.
Don't have all the answers. But the questions are too interesting to ignore.

Walk with me.

@alphabatcher Thank you bro, very useful 🤝

Before you renew 5 AI subscriptions, spend 20 minutes here

Free inference checklist, June 16 2026:

1. Google AI Studio
- Gemini API free tier has free input and output tokens
- unpaid usage can be used to improve Google products
- paid billing changes the data policy

2. Groq
- llama-3.3-70b-versatile free plan: 30 RPM, 1k RPD, 12k TPM, 100k TPD
- qwen/qwen3-32b: 60 RPM, 1k RPD, 6k TPM, 500k TPD

3. Cerebras
- free trial lists 1M tokens/day for gpt-oss-120b and zai-glm-4.7
- set max_completion_tokens carefully or you hit limits early

4. OpenRouter
- `:free` model variants get 20 RPM
- 50 requests/day before you buy credits
- 1000 requests/day after $10+ in credits

5. GitHub Models
- free playground/API for testing models
- Copilot Free rate limits: 150/day for low tier, 50/day for high tier

Use free tiers for:
- benchmarks
- toy agents
- public docs
- synthetic prompts
- quick model comparisons

Use paid tiers for:
- customer data
- private repos
- client work
- regulated tasks
- anything you need to run tomorrow

The subscription stack I’d cancel first:

> any model you use less than 3 days/week
> any tool missing an API path
> any plan you bought for one task and forgot

Pay for privacy and reliability

Test everything else for $0 first

@odysseyml Congrats @odysseyml

[Aetherway's @aethernomichi]

@odysseyml Amazon and AMD backing this means big tech’s taking world models seriously. Let’s go!

[Odyssey @odysseyml]

We’ve raised a $310M Series B to accelerate world models!

We believe AI that can understand and simulate the world will be one of the most important technologies of our time.

We're excited to partner with Natural Capital, Amazon, GV, AMD, IQT, and others to bring this to life.

@swarminged It's good tech

[Aetherway's @aethernomichi]

@Chiefosis96 Let's mutual fams 🤝

[Aetherway's @aethernomichi]

@kindworldlabs Agreed 👍

[Aetherway's @aethernomichi]

Banyak orang masih melihat Solana sebagai blockchain meme coin.

Padahal narasi yang sedang dibangun jauh lebih besar: Saham, ETF, obligasi, dan aset dunia nyata mulai berpindah ke blockchain.

Dan saat ini Solana memimpin volume perdagangan tokenized equities.

Apakah benar seperti itu, atau hanya marketing semata? 🤔

[Solana @solana]

Solana is the best place to trade tokenized equities

More assets 🔜

One thing worth noting: ERC-8004 and x402 aren’t tech https://t.co/mFNOXA7uJy invented itself — they’re open standards being built collectively across the broader AI-agent crypto ecosystem (backed by people from MetaMask, Ethereum Foundation, Coinbase, and others). So https://t.co/mFNOXA7uJy’s real innovation isn’t really the blockchain layer, it’s the product packaging: making it easy to turn a photo into an avatar and bundling everything into one ready-to-use stack. The backend itself is fairly standard too — serverless functions on Vercel, Postgres on Neon for metadata, Cloudflare R2 for model storage, and Redis on Upstash for rate limiting  — nothing exotic happening there.

https://t.co/mFNOXA7uJy is a platform that uses AI to generate 3D characters from text or images, then gives those characters an LLM “brain” so they can talk and have emotions, and can be embedded on any website. It has its own token (THREE, on Solana) and on-chain identity. It also recently partnered with IBM.

We're building 3D AI agents live with @IBM

Join us for a live build session: from a single prompt to a fully interactive, embeddable agent that sees, speaks, and takes action.

This is what the next interface for AI looks like. Build with us. Streaming live on @IBMcloud

Layer 5 — payments. This runs on the x402 protocol, which repurposes the HTTP 402 status code (Payment Required): the agent responds to a request with that status along with payment details, and whoever wants the service has to pay first before continuing . So you get automatic micropayments between agents, or from visitors to an agent, without setting up a traditional payment gateway.
