This is why:
* Self-sovereign identity, data and money (so you control your account, not a third-party provider)
* CROPS AI (so other people cannot do this to *your computer* https://t.co/zmG8wrfzAi )
Updates since then:
* Deepseek v4 is out. There *is* a 2-bit quant that can run within 90 GB ( https://t.co/yM1HMZXkXn ), and it works, however it's only fast on Apple hardware (I've head ~35 tok/s). On AMD, it's ~7 tok/s. IMO actually taking the effort to properly support more than one hardware manufacturer is a great example of the difference between mere "decentralized AI" and genuine "CROPS AI". I hope we can become better at this.
* https://t.co/CFYF1smBH3 also has alpha telegram support now. However, the path to adding your account is quite janky
* https://t.co/za4h233eYz looks promising as a way to run "dense" models (eg. Qwen 27B) more efficiently. It's janky, but on my 5090 laptop it seems to be ~2x more tok/s than llama.cpp
* VoxTerm (local AI recording, no third-party servers) continues to be developed https://t.co/GSdKzkD9Ql
And there's a lot more projects coming on the horizon.
One other thing that has been on my mind is that there's actually a lot of intersection between "CROPS ethereum access layer" and "CROPS AI". For example, we want a ZK way to make (paid) calls to remote LLMs. But if we have this, then it's just as useful for solving another problem: private RPC reads in Ethereum.
Another example: application-specific finetuned LLMs. Leanstral ( https://t.co/ilfww8ekJu ; I get ~38 tok/s on AMD) fits into < 70 GB, but can hold its own against 1T models on writing Lean code. Things like this are a huge boon for writing more secure code ( https://t.co/6YPWgVSzCg ). We should have models finetuned for Ethereum-related use cases as well.
Many people have claimed that with AI-assisted bug finding, secure code (and hence trustless anything) will be impossible.
I have a much more optimistic take, and AI-assisted formal verification is a major part of the reason why:

It's official. Claude Code just released /goal
The single most underrated AI feature of 2026
Now Claude Code, Codex, and Hermes agent has it
It allows your agent to complete long running tasks, sometimes for days
EVERYONE should be immediately running this prompt:
'Based on what you know about me, my goals, ambitions, and what we've built together already, what are the 3 /goals we can run right now that would run for long time periods and produce the best results?'
Choose one, then ask for it to build you a prompt
You should get a few options for super powerful goal prompts that will have your agent of choice complete long running tasks that will deliver your mind blowing results
Carve out 15 minutes tonight to do this. Thank me later.
A Polymarket weather market just paid out $34k to traders who "predicted" Paris temperature spikes — spikes that turned out to be physical sensor tampering. Météo France filed criminal charges. The readings came from a single airport sensor at Charles de Gaulle.
The story isn't really about @Polymarket. It's about every prediction market that resolves on a single data point. Most "prediction markets" today are still betting; real prediction markets — the kind Robin Hanson designed, the kind futarchy depends on — require oracles that can't be tampered by walking up to one device.
https://t.co/bRn9D2rEzj — a citizen-owned air-quality mesh of 19 independent devices across Cyprus, running on Robonomics infrastructure — recently caught a dust storm without any single point of failure: 14 of 19 sensors simultaneously crossed raw PM10 > 100 µg/m³ on April 18, peaking at 74% of the island mesh. Different roofs, different power, different operators.
Trigger rule: a 1h window resolves YES iff ≥10 qualified sensors record raw PM10 > 100 µg/m³. To fake it, an attacker needs simultaneous physical access to 10+ devices across a 240 km island. Not feasible — by design.
This is the only Web3-native atmospheric oracle running today. On-chain attestation built on Robonomics, live data via https://t.co/bRn9D2rEzj.
A live demo market is open on @ManifoldMarkets, resolved by this oracle: "Will the Robonomics-powered citizen sensor mesh detect another dust storm over Cyprus in the next 14 days?" → https://t.co/K0DsX2MhoH

As an engineer I used to struggle with design.
Now I can ship professional looking UI in minutes thanks to Google Stitch 2.0 + Claude Code.
This is the only guide you need if you're tired of your apps looking like every other vibe coded project.
🎉 IT'S OFFICIAL: @wiz_io joins @Google to secure the AI era.
This is a massive moment for our customers and our team.
Thank you to every customer, partner, and Wizard who made this moment possible 💙
We can't wait to share what's next.

🚨Claude Opus 4.6 wrote vulnerable code, leading to a smart contract exploit with $1.78M loss
cbETH asset's price was set to $1.12 instead of ~$2,200. The PRs of the project show commits were co-authored by Claude - Is this the first hack of vibe-coded Solidity code?

ps, that gold bar I had on stage with Peter, was real (to the best of my knowledge) from KG. Guess what’s coming next? 😂
