Why do we need decentralised AI and how is it going to be built? Hi, I'm Kyrin and I will be exploring this question in this new show of the Mere Mortals Podcasts network. We'll be diving into agentic AI, open source philosophy, decentralised infrastructure, token incentives and why I believe the Morpheus AI project is best suited to help the world achieve a smarter future. Episodes recorded live on Mon 11am AEST and released shortly afterwards.

Rebuilding Education With DEAI | How Ludwig Uses Morpheus To Rethink University

Jan 9th, 2026 10:40 AM

Zion, hear me! For Season 2 of the Mere Morpheus podcast I'm going to be uploading the Morpheus builder weekly updates. My reason for doing this is to make it more accessible for those who want an update directly via their podcast app and to have them all in one place. If you'd like to participate they are held weekly on the @MorpheusAIs Twitter spaces. So enjoy Episode #57!Recorded: 8 January 2026 AI SUMMARY: The episode trials a new format featuring concise core updates and a deep-dive with a standout builder. Key Morpheus news includes the temporary removal of in-app chat and history on app.mor.org to re-architect for scale with past data purged and re-launch using local storage. Other updates note strong traction on inference requests and API billing infrastructure nearing rollout with free inference through month-end and credits bridging to early February. A new subnet staking attribution API is highlighted to make it easier for builders to programmatically grant user credits. The interview with Roger unpacks Ludwig, a reimagined university model focused on application layer communication through agentic networks. Ludwig uses Morpheus for decentralized inference to grade work across subjects and integrates the builder subnet so stakers can claim platform credits. The discussion explores live deployments in Trinidad including programs for unemployed graduates and a Hearts & Minds police unit initiative as well as broader conversations on education incentives and using staking to make learning accessible. The episode wraps with community and regional updates including Morpheus Asia's short-form content push a government-backed Malaysian hackathon and a demo day to accelerate top university teams.Timeline: (00:00:00) Intro(00:01:17) Morpheus product updates: chat history changes and data purge(00:03:36) API billing roadmap, free inference through month end(00:06:11) Brainpower Season 2 launch and lighter community vibe(00:07:46) Roger on Ludwig: a new kind of university for the AI era(00:10:12) Application‑layer communication as the third literacy(00:12:06) Foundational skills platform and Trinidad pilot results(00:15:10) How Morpheus powers Ludwig: grading via inference and subnets(00:20:28) Subnet credits API and smoother staker attribution(00:23:43) Integration experience: Morpheus vs centralised APIs(00:33:00) Optimisation vs innovation: how the internet reshaped institutions (00:36:06) AI, logic, and the future of credentialism(00:40:20) Back to basics: literacy and numeracy as prerequisites(00:47:17) Universal access idea: municipal staking for education(00:51:21) Morpheus Asia: short‑form content, Malaysia hackathon, demo day(00:55:00) Closing: builder ecosystem, collaboration invites, next session If you would like to support me for the value I provide you can use the referral link below when depositing capital and we will both earn bonus MOR.

They explain their choice of Morpheus for decentralized, private, low-cost inference and the simple integration via the Morpheus router.

The Mere Morpheus Podcast Is Evolving | Where I Think The AI Future Is Headed

Dec 22nd, 2025 10:25 AM

Zion, hear me! Kyrin here checking in with an impromptu episode on the future of the Morpheus AI project, Mere Morpheus and AI in general. The weekly maintainer updates are changing to a different format but I'll still be posting them here. So enjoy Episode #55!Recorded: 22 December 2025AI SUMMARY: In Update #55, I (Kyrin) share where Morpheus AI is headed and why I’m still bullish long‑term, even if the current need for decentralised AI feels muted. I outline changes to the show format (moving from maintainer call recaps to builder updates) and why I’ll continue republishing Morpheus Spaces here for broader reach. I dive into why decentralisation matters as governments tighten controls and large providers lean into surveillance and ad‑driven incentives and how Morpheus’ incentives for builders, agents and inference can fill that gap. I also reflect on my personal builder journey using Venice, experimenting with Recall’s agent competitions, exploring ERC‑8004 rank‑ordering and the x402 payment protocol.On the practical front, I talk through recent wins automating tedious workflows (bulk transcript downloads, agent‑powered summarisation) and why the productivity upside from agents is only growing. Expect regular Morpheus AI updates sourced from Spaces, with cleaned audio, transcripts, chapters and AI summaries. If you’re keen to support, you can stake to the upcoming Base builder subnet, follow along on X and Discord and send through feedback or ideas for future builds. Timeline: (00:00:00) Intro(00:00:30) Format changes: from maintainer calls to builder updates(00:01:48) State of AI access today and why decentralisation still matters(00:05:31) Advertising incentives and the danger of intimate AI data(00:07:04) Longer term view: infrastructure now, demand later(00:07:32) Personal journey: Venice airdrop, Recall and agent competitions(00:08:43) Standards and payments: ERC-8004 and x402 for agent economics(00:11:20) Data, compute and the productivity wave ahead(00:13:46) Building on Base: launching a builder subnet(00:16:46) What to expect next: cleaned spaces, transcripts and summaries(00:17:40) Support options: staking, community and referral link If you would like to support me for the value I provide you can use the referral link below when depositing capital and we will both earn bonus MOR.
