Episode Details

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 #76!

Recorded: 4 June 2026 

AI SUMMARY: This week's DeAI Summer edition highlights Morpheus' record single‑day throughput of 400M tokens with 72% API gateway share of top models GLM 5.1 and DeepSeek V4. It covers accelerating demand, the provider flywheel and usage differences between API and peer‑to‑peer. The rollout of TEE‑enabled private inference on Morpheus is detailed, including live models (DeepSeek 70B, Gemma 3 4B, a Qwen variant) and upcoming "max privacy" filtering. Model comparisons note the trend toward smaller distilled models alongside TEE assurances for sensitive workloads. A frictionless agent deployment with Manifest + Privy is previewed. The discussion touches on PewDiePie's Odysseus, the surge of local AI, institutional voices on AI and why real utility is driving a DeAI Summer decoupling in market performance (Morpheus, Venice, NEAR). It closes on X402's hype‑to‑usage cycle and the call to test TEEs and new models.
