$DIEM tokenizes perpetual inference and creates a new blockchain primitive that yields $1 of compute every day. There is so much nascent opportunity to build a whole “perpetual inference” DeFi world on top of this: Just scratching the surface of a few ideas: Inference markets - expiring inference credits can be bought/sold at a discount. Inference lending - renting out unused compute Inference as high LTV tokenized collateral may be one of the more predictable collateral assets in DeFi. Inference leverage - setups that allow you to borrow against your staked DIEM and auto buys more DIEM capacity when needed to scale. DIEM yield markets - various ways that offer those with DIEM opportunities to earn from their unused inference. “Inference sharing” - agreements between users to loan inference back and forth specific days or time periods. Inference options - buying/selling the rights to inference for specific time periods in the future. Aware of a number of teams starting to build in some, but not all, of these directions and there is tons of design space to explore here with the DIEM primitive outside of these few areas. I expect to see a large uptick of DIEM DeFI projects coming online over the next few weeks and months.

If you're getting your inference from Anthropic or OpenAI or Google, you're being captured by extractive institutions: All your data is going to them (and hackers, rogue employees, governments... both today and tomorrow) Inference can be private. GLM 5.1, Kimi K2.6, Deepseek V4... these models are as powerful as any frontier model from just 3 months ago, yet are open source and can be run without betraying your life and data to any 3rd party. Point your agent to Venice for every private model in one place (plus crypto tools, web search, embeddings, image and video models...). Could not be easier. Be intentional.

The goal of Personal AI: civilization where individual humans, augmented by AI, can do consequential work without being captured by extractive institutions. Freedom to write your prompt and own your data. This is the new battleground. 2034 won’t have to be like 1984.

VVV emissions reduced from 6M to 5M tokens per year, effective today. This is the first of 3 monthly reductions: - May 1: 6M → 5M - June 1: 5M → 4M - July 1: 4M → 3M Our goal is a net deflationary VVV with native yield, where burns exceed emissions
