Cashew & Confidential AI | The Big Privacy Milestone
Description
Recorded: 23 April 2026
AI SUMMARY: This episode features Rob from DRM3 introducing Cashew a community‑first block explorer for Morpheus that surfaces providers models staking stats and subnet data with plans for capital contract coverage and time‑series insights. It also covers Morpheus shipping Version 7 with full TEE phase‑2 support enabling end‑to‑end private attested inference between consumer nodes and TEE‑tagged models achieved with Secret Labs. The discussion includes latest model updates (Kimi 2.6, GLM 5.1, Qwen 3.6, GPT‑Image 2) the push for auditable agent workflows via DRM3 provenance and why decentralisation and data privacy matter as AI expands into science and healthcare. It closes on industry moves community plans for demos and weekly town halls and upcoming appearances at Consensus.
