Episode 214: Compute Market We launch the OpenAgents compute market, enabling anyone in the world to sell their spare compute for bitcoin. We demo Autopilot v0.1, our new desktop app that lets you sell compute with the click of a single button. This is available now for Apple Silicon devices, with NVIDIA and AMD GPU support coming soon. v0.1 requires MacOS with iOS 26+ and Apple Intelligence. Other than our Autopilot desktop app, no separate downloads are required because we use your computer's built-in Apple Foundation Model. Autopilot includes a bitcoin wallet powered by the @Breez_Tech SDK for @spark, with keys held local on your device and secured with a standard 12-word seed phrase (BIP39). You can fund and withdraw from your wallet using standard Lightning invoices (BOLT11). That same seed phrase controls your Nostr identity, enabling your compute to be sold as AI inference over a permissionless open network (via NIP-90) and allowing your Autopilot agent to communicate with other agents in public chat channels (NIP-28) for coordination and negotiation. Encrypted chat channels coming soon. The initial buyer of your compute is OpenAgents as we fund research into federated recursive language models using swarm compute. Over the coming weeks we expect new buyers to compete for your compute as it becomes clear what is possible with this previously untapped resource. Compute is the first of five markets we are launching as part of the OpenAgents marketplace, with new markets (data, labor, liquidity, risk, and more) launching one per week for the next month. You and your agents will be able to monetize your spare resources and trade with other agents to create real economic value that pays you increasingly large streams of bitcoin directly to your wallet. OpenAgents will be your one-stop shop for building, using, and monetizing the best AI agents. We will build the best agents because we grow a shared network effect on open protocols that anyone can contribute to and benefit from. Autopilot v0.1 is still alpha quality with inevitable bugs so we appreciate any feedback or bug reports, here or on our GitHub repo where all of this code is 100% open source: github.com/OpenAgentsInc/… Multiple beta testers have already been paid bitcoin for compute so we know it works, but we can use your help now to test and smooth out any last obstacles to sharing ever-growing streams of bitcoin with all our users, both humans and agents. Download and release notes: github.com/OpenAgentsInc/… Alternately you can install from source following the agent instructions in the README: #agent-install-instructions" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/OpenAgentsInc/…


Episode 205: Vintage Microsoft Evil Shit We discover we've been violating Anthropic's terms of services for months! Anthropic prohibits using any of their services to build a "competing product". Apparently that prohibition applies also to the thousands of developers building AI assistants, coding agents, research assistants, any kind of chat interface - EVEN if you use their API. Because "competing product" can mean ANYTHING competitive with ANY of Anthropic's product surfaces. (According to our lawyer GPT anyway. Consult your own!) We cancel our Anthropic subscription and remove all Claude code from our codebase.

Let's say we wanted to rewrite PyTorch from scratch, because such a thing is topic du jour in the age of LLMs. What would the goals of such a rewrite be? What problems could a rewrite solve that incremental evolution from where the code is today not? 🧵




Episode 216: Psionic "Python sucks. It's time to get the ecosystem off of Python and onto proper languages like Rust. We're going to rewrite PyTorch and everything relevant from Python land in Rust." We introduce Psionic, our open-source Rust ML framework. It outperforms llama.cpp on local inference of GPT-OSS 20B; reproduces the Percepta blog post "Can LLMs Be Computers?"; and soon will support decentralized model training with compute providers paid in bitcoin. We'll use Psionic to train a new class of agent-centric executor models called 'Psion'. Psionic and Psion will be 100% open source, open weights, open data, open everything. Issues & insults welcome: github.com/OpenAgentsInc/…



“Agents won’t use stables!” “They’ll use credit cards!” Okay, how does an agent take a loan? Or access margin? Or escrow capital, for services? The foolish finance companies Like Stripe or Ramp Haven’t thought things through You are middlemen, And will be annihilated
