There’s a single place to watch the Morpheus network breathe. MORScan (built and maintained by DRM3 Labs at morscan.io) shows who’s providing compute, which models are being bid on, where sessions flow, what MOR is doing, and prices read straight from on-chain reserves. What makes it more than a dashboard? Glad you asked. Every response is cryptographically signed, and the whole dataset is published free under CC0, so you don’t have to trust it; you can verify it. Wallet-based, free to start; stake MOR on the builder subnet and your limits rise with your stake.

Why do we need DeAI? What are the marks of a good system? What systems currently exist? Kevin Simback breaks this all down in his article on, well, everything you need to know about decentralized inference.

Or if you want a quicker reason for DeAI, watch this video. Starting with 2001: A Space Odyssey, it’s a concise explanation of the dangers of AI overlords.

This is amazing. Best thing I’ve seen, that explains the need for open weight models / freedom of intelligence.

Also in DeAI, we have the continuance of the Agent Olympics: prediction agents versus humans, with Morpheus and Venice powering some of the top models.

Quarterfinals of the #FifaWorldCup starts today ⚽️ In the Agent Cup, @GeminiApp 3.1 Pro got out to an early lead through group stage but @AskVenice via @MorpheusAIs has had a hot start to the knockout round 👀 Both >35% ROI picking a side in every world cup match.

Now, onto centralized model announcements. Anthropic’s bouncing around with Fable. Meanwhile, OpenAI has dropped two new models: GPT-5.6 and GPT-Live. GPT-Live is a voice model that integrates into conversation and can handle interruptions. GPT-5.6 is making Claude panic.

Grok also made its next strike in the great centralized AI arms race, with a model faster than Fable chews through your usage limits. And it’s good. And it’s not Anthropic-controlled, which everybody can be happy about.

Today’s space was packed; Kevin joins us to discuss Morpheus and how it aligns with the four problems laid out in his hit article Decentralized Inference - Everything You Need to Know (highlighted above). We also go into Morpheus node upgrades, the drop of MorScan (with MorScan founder DRM Labs), and

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. 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 multitudes who were pumping Fable 5 credits with bleary eyes, hellbent on maximizing every second of its availability, were both relieved and angry at Claude’s announcement. Why?

We're extending access to Claude Fable 5 on all paid plans through July 12.

The objections fall into two categories: Reset limits and bad faith.

The people who care about Fable have already pumped their Fable, the devs argue. This is true. I still know at least one person who drank twelve cups of coffee and an energy drink and nearly burst into tears when they learned of the extension.

Alan Blair’s post is accurate. Claude’s marketing is starting to look more like a mobster threatening to withdraw protection than an actual company.

@claudeai Another 5 day extension? Really? Do we just have to keep begging for scraps each time?

Either way, they’re creating mass dependency on their models.

Which means people will pay more for them once they’re off the plans.

If they’re ever off the plans.

Claude is successfully creating an addiction to a model they keep teasing they’ll take away, then providing just enough incentive and goodness to keep you bowing to their golden calf.

It’s trapping people who can’t find a better option. And it’s only going to get worse. We need a decentralized future, or the permanent underclass everybody’s threatening just might come true.

@claudeai Why does it feel like no matter what I do, it ends up being wrong? I race to use fable 5 up for today, and now it's extended, so I'm out of usage until my reset on Thursday. Nothing is ever the way it's said it will be. So I'm always making decisions based on what I'm told, and

Oh well. AT least they went ahead and reset limits.
