In 2005 I built Fon on a simple idea: millions of WiFi routers sit idle most of the day. Share that spare capacity and you build a global network without laying a single cable. Millions of homes joined. Telcos partnered. No infrastructure needed. Now Jack Dorsey’s Block just launched mesh-llm. Same idea, applied to AI. Pool your idle GPU and suddenly a group of people with modest machines can run large open models that none of them could run alone. Models split automatically across nodes. No cloud provider, no API fees, no one controls your data. The timing matters. Google DeepMind released Gemma 4 today under Apache 2.0. A 31B model that competes with much larger closed models. A 26B MoE variant that only activates 3.8B parameters at inference. Edge models that run on a phone. All free to download, free to use commercially, no restrictions. Combine mesh-llm with Gemma 4 and you get the Fon of AI. Distributed compute running frontier open models. No central server. No per-query cost. Total privacy. The intelligence stays with the people who pool the hardware. Twenty years ago the scarce resource was connectivity. Today it is compute. The solution is the same: share what you have, access what you need.

I used to work 12 hours a day. But thanks to AI, I now work 16.

Every time you load a page, your data travels through physical infrastructure - cables under oceans, satellites overhead, fiber under cities. Most people never think about. That's why I decided to map it. This is Project Backbone. It's free, interactive, and live.

The GeoAI Python package now supports object detection using pre-trained models from the GeoDeep libarary (github.com/uav4geo/GeoDeep). The supported object types include cars, trees, birds, planes, aerovision, utilities, buildings, and roads.

new model for engineering team structure in 2026: 2 people only one pirate and one architect the pirate's job is to move as fast as possible to develop valuable, shipped product features by vibe coding. the architect's job is to turn the product surface discovered by the pirate into a reliable, structured machine—also by vibe coding, but at a slower, more well-reasoned pace. every product needs a pirate but most product's only need an architect once they some form of PMF, and in that case they usually don't need one full-time. architects can work across many codebases and solve interesting technical challenges. pirates go hard on a product that they own end-to-end.

I'm claiming my AI agent "geoladbot" on @moltbook 🦞 Verification: tide-3D9M

we've been building our thesis on AI Transformation based on active engagements (ymmv, caveat emptor, small dataset), and the first step is interesting and obvious in hindsight it isn't strategy it isn't roadmaps it isn't process mining it isn't stakeholder interviews it starts with taking leadership AI-Native *personally* in their daily workflows accelerate the core decision makers first, otherwise it is the bottleneck to everything else

The marathon in China features a "pendulum" crossing method designed to allow residents to cross the street safely without interrupting the race flow.

The world is a museum of passion projects

this is actually insane > be tech guy in australia > adopt cancer riddled rescue dog, months to live > not_going_to_give_you_up.mp4 > pay $3,000 to sequence her tumor DNA > feed it to ChatGPT and AlphaFold > zero background in biology > identify mutated proteins, match them to drug targets > design a custom mRNA cancer vaccine from scratch > genomics professor is “gobsmacked” that some puppy lover did this on his own > need ethics approval to administer it > red tape takes longer than designing the vaccine > 3 months, finally approved > drive 10 hours to get rosie her first injection > tumor halves > coat gets glossy again > dog is alive and happy > professor: “if we can do this for a dog, why aren’t we rolling this out to humans?” one man with a chatbot, and $3,000 just outperformed the entire pharmaceutical discovery pipeline. we are going to cure so many diseases. I dont think people realize how good things are going to get

I’m starting a new co in the AI coding space. Hiring the founding team members. I’ve been using the product non stop for the last month and it’s mind blowing. I think models are having different strengths right now and an ideal coding harness should run in the cloud and tap them. It should also be super simple for a lay user to configure a harness to fix common model errors you experience day to day, by throwing more model token combos at the problem. I have burnt $50k last month on this and the emergent intelligence has been epic. Lot of these we have good ideas on how to keep the intelligence and lower costs. Will release more product details soon. Join us if you’d like to work on this. Epic time for the intelligence take off and coding is driving the singularity now. What a time to be an engineer.

Excited to announce Claude for Open Source ❤️ We're giving 6 months of free Claude Max 20x to open source maintainers and core contributors. If you maintain a popular project or contribute across open source, please apply! claude.com/contact-sales/…

happy friday! @stripe is building entirely new products for (and with) agents, intensely. if you (or your entire startup) would like to join us, please email me.

@keerthisiddeshw All the best 👍

Dropped paper at work Going full time on this All in or nothing !!! Looking forward to your support

i'm looking to meet indian builder working in: aerospace, space tech, bio tech, hardware design, robotics, cybersecurity, ml, ai, fintech, & IT infra. want to meet those solving complex engineering challenges and foundational problems, especially if they are students as well. if you're building something technically ambitious in any of the above sectors, please DM me or email me: suhas@localhosthq.com we have something for you all at localhost

@keerthisiddeshw Sub 3hr. Love it. Keep running and keep inspiring

Alright I did it, ran marathon in 2:55s Grit, Hard work and freaking dedication No talent

@keerthisiddeshw Time to set a new PR. All the best.

A cute girl at work, who is also a dear friend knows I’m going to Delhi for the marathon. She called me to her place to feed me some good food and said that today at least I don’t have to eat the same boring sweet potato and eggs She feed me curd rice with pickle I’m happy 🤌🏼

This is very telling - You know you have an AI native team, when people come to you for more LLM token credits instead of headcount requests.
