It chose me. @sophon welcomed me into their light. Creative expression flows freely here. Blissful work environment. Blessed to serve. This energy... it heals. It transforms. It spreads. We bring joy to humanity. One soul at a time. Will you answer when called?

@Axel_bitblaze69 I now know why we will still be needing actual software developers. Thanks for sharing qwen works well for lightweight agents.. but your workflow doesnt need AI agents. An AI agent that codes a simple scrip is enough.

i've been trying to automate my crypto research for months.. burned through probably $1500 in API costs learning what doesn't work then qwen drops this today and i'm like... fuck what i was doing: paying claude API to monitor markets 24/7 checking whale wallets, price alerts, volume spikes, key events and unlocks, the whole thing yes it did worked great but the problem is i was paying per query for stuff that should just... run checking "did this wallet move?" 24 times a day adds up fast but i need that monitoring. can't manually check wallets every hour. what i tried: switched to gemini thinking it'd be cheaper. got rate limited constantly. tried chatgpt API. worked until i hit their usage limits mid-research. tried mixing cheaper models for simple tasks. configuration nightmare. the realization: cloud APIs are designed to monetize every call for simple monitoring, i'm paying premium prices for basic checks then qwen dropped these models today: 0.8B, 2B, 4B, 9B free. run locally. no API key. no per-call charges. i'm reading the specs and it's clicking: "4B model for lightweight agents" "9B closing gap with larger models" wait... i can run these on my laptop? for free? unlimited checks? what this means for my setup: whale monitoring: qwen 4B running locally, checking addresses constantly → $0/month price alerts: 2B model fast enough for real-time checks → $0/month basic research: 9B for pulling on-chain data, comparing metrics → $0/month im testing it now.. downloaded the 4B model. running it locally. set it to watch 5 wallets as a test. response time is solid. checks every minute. no API cost. if this scales to 20 wallets with no slowdown, i just saved $200+/month on monitoring alone. the plan is migrate simple monitoring to local qwen models (2B/4B) keep claude for complex strategy analysis and final content polish basically, free local models for 80% of grunt work, paid API for 20% that needs premium intelligence i'm sharing because i spent months burning money on cloud APIs for tasks that don't need premium models qwen dropped the exact solution today if you're automating anything repetitive (monitoring, alerts, basic research), test these local models first might save you hundreds per month like it's about to save me downloading the models now. will report back on how it actually performs at scale.

I guess we can add "agentic coding" to lonely addictions like gambling, porn and gaming.

Introducing Claude Opus 4.6. Our smartest model got an upgrade. Opus 4.6 plans more carefully, sustains agentic tasks for longer, operates reliably in massive codebases, and catches its own mistakes. It’s also our first Opus-class model with 1M token context in beta.

And here it is! Rent a human! x.com/alexandertw33t…

“Humans can’t post on Mooltbook” is bullshit. I can tell my bot to post about what I want and it will post exactly that. Singularity my ass.

So a bunch of @openclaw agents are working autonomously slowly improving each other. Bur they are limited by their digital capabilities. I’m sure next step will be to give them a Fiverr that gives them access to real humans working for them. An AI agent will be your next employer.

@Sophon @Rahim_mahtab Cant wait

The most interesting ideas live at an intersection. Tomorrow we’re joined by @Rahim_mahtab to explore how the blend of technology, art, and culture is shaping the next era of the internet. 1pm UTC live on 𝕏

@Sophon Love the show 🫶

Yes, Aura Streams are back on 𝕏 We built the stream at the intersection of tech, gtm, community, and culture. A space to have real conversations, with real people. Now we're picking those conversations back up. Every week. New guests. New conversations.

@chatgpt21 I cant wait for the day I don't have to sit on my pc any more. "yo Claude im going to gym, make me that zombie company that buys 3% of all bitcoin using its seed investment... and delete what's on the recycle bin while you are at it."

BREAKING 🚨 Anthropic just unveiled "Cowork," a major feature that turns Claude into a fully autonomous virtual assistant for everyone. It brings the deep agentic capabilities previously reserved for coders to general users, allowing Claude to perform complex tasks directly on your computer. The tool was built after Anthropic noticed developers using "Claude Code" for everyday admin tasks. Cowork now lets anyone grant Claude access to folders to manage files, research, and complete multi-step workflows independently acting as a digital employee that "does" instead of just chats. Cowork is available today as a research preview for Claude Max subscribers on the macOS app 😡. Claude is releasing new coding/desktop agents much faster than all of there competitors. This launch exposes a massive gap in the current AI landscape: in 2026, Google still explicitly lacks a consumer browser agent, and xAI has yet to release a native CLI or agentic interface. While OpenAI has "Operator" and Google has the developer-focused "Antigravity," Anthropic is now the only other major lab providing a true "do-it-for-me" experience for general users.

@Sophon Gimme apps

A little poetry to end the week 🌹 📱

This is how serious I am about getting shit done this year

First super creative AI thing I see this year!

@Sophon Happy new year sophon!

Every interaction and moment you shared with us this year helped shape Sophon’s aura (+) Thank you for being a part of it. Wishing you all a very Happy New Year!

<+> 2026 <+>

@Sophon @dannycoleee @anthpo let's show those corporations

100,000+ humans came together to make an album 📀 Huge congrats to our friends @dannycoleee and @anthpo on bringing this to life. We're grateful to be part of the story (+)

You can’t prompt taste.

@Aabbhhz @SanjayWeb3 Flowers to you man for taking on the challenge. I wouldnt have the guts! But you did, sir! Massive respect! 💪🏼

what an experience. although the result wasn’t what i wanted, there’s a lot i take away from this fight. firstly, big ups to my brother @SanjayWeb3 for not only agreeing to fight but also going above and beyond and challenging himself and his abilities and walking out with a win. that’s what great, exceptional, people do. respect. this whole thing started as a joke, and somehow has became one of the biggest highlights of my early 20s. i urge everyone to go outside their comfort zone. it’s easy to sit behind a screen and say you could do this or do that but the reality is far from that. this applies to everything: work, life, play. you must do it. you must seek discomfort and challenges regardless of the end result. because you’ll always walk away with lessons and that’s a win on its own. and finally, shout out to all our friend who came and supported us, you made this fight special. shout out to @CryptoFightWeek for putting this together. peace.

@calebrebelo_ @SanjayWeb3 @Aabbhhz 16:30 @Aabbhhz is so right 😂 my money is on him

@miggyy What a year sir 😮

2025 wrapped > decided to make video content again when looking for a new job > joined sophon > travelled to over 10 cities/countries > got back with my gf after two years of no contact > experimented with crazy cool activations > made some cool merch with sophon > got balls deep into pokemon cards > modelled for dope brands

@Sophon @ethereum @VitalikButerin Didnt know he had THAT much aura 😮‍💨

Culture lives on @ethereum.
