The cast for human friendly DSLs has become very difficult in the post LLM world. IMO newer programming languages/models going forward would evolve to be more explicit and llm first

@OpenAI On a followup note, it's priced cheaper but tend to use too many reasoning tokens (and seem to require higher token limits to work well) adding up to a higher cost. Interesting, is this a new age dark pattern that LLM companies are coming up with?

While @OpenAI gpt 5 didn't meet the high expectations set prior to launch, my experience using it for the past few days has been pretty good. CFG support is a big plus (still evaluating how well it works, but it has many implications and I like the direction taken here)

Sentient’s mission is to ensure that Artificial General Intelligence is open-source and not controlled by any single entity. We’re launching the GRID: the world’s largest network of intelligence. The GRID makes open-source the default for AI development and ensures humanity wins the future of AI. Let’s dive in👇

@SentientAGI What's cooking ? 👀

it's so easy to become obsessed with the wrong metrics. twitter isn't real life, raising money isn't an indicator of success, quality of your office is irrelevant. only customers, and how happy they are matters.

Happy 10 @ethereum ! 🎉🎊 Celebratory moment for entire Blockchain/crypto community as the world's first decentralized programmable ledger turns 10 with a 0 downtime history! Quiet crazy what the journey has been, and only more to come! #ethereumturns10

@prashant_xyz Much respect ser 🫡 thought I only witnessed a short part of spheron's growth closely, you guys always stood out as real builders creating value with much dedication and relentless hardwork. Many congratulations on the upcoming milestone! 🎉

TGE Reflection — Thank You to the Builders Who Shaped Us As we approach TGE, I wanted to take a moment to reflect — and more importantly, say thank you. Every ecosystem we touched, every relationship (good or bad), every challenge — helped shape what Spheron has become today. My journey in crypto started with @ArweaveEco . @samecwilliams was the first person who made me believe in the potential of decentralized infra. The entire Arweave team was phenomenal — they helped us form our earliest mental models. We couldn’t build a long-term vision there, but we did contribute one thing: 1-click website deployment on Arweave. We then moved to @Filecoin , where the learning deepened. @juanbenet once told us, “You’re building something special — and Filecoin will back you.” That one call gave us immense clarity. The @protocollabs @TachyonXYZ & Filecoin fam stood by us even when we weren’t sure of our direction. That support meant a lot. Next came @akashnet — and I’ve always admired what @gregosuri and the team built. We built on Akash. We studied the code. We scaled on it. We even pitched systems like the "battery mechanism" to the team — and they genuinely appreciated it. There was real collaboration. There was real value added. Unfortunately, that chapter ended on a sour note. Maybe it was a difference in vision. Maybe just timing. Either way, I want to say this: if anything from my side contributed to that friction — I apologize. We learned a lot from Akash. It inspired us to go deeper. And that’s something I’ll always respect. We’ve since built our own architecture, published an open-source whitepaper, and created a full-stack system — independent and community-first. But none of this would’ve been possible without the early lessons, feedback, and relationships formed in these ecosystems. With TGE around the corner, it feels like we’re handing over a grown-up version of Spheron to the community. And I won’t lie — it makes me nervous. But it also makes me proud. Because now, this protocol will live, grow, and evolve with the community at the center. Post-TGE, Spheron Day 1 begins — again. I'll be working even harder to bring demand to decentralized compute. Not just on @spheron , but across @akashnet , @ionet , @AethirCloud , and beyond. This is a shared mission — and we all have a role in making decentralized infra win. Thank you for helping us get here. 🫶

@jito_sol Quiet a few changes/improvements, private txns, verifiable ordering and plugins are super cool

@Saxenasaheb True, deeper and on-ground insights would come from talking to these game devs, that's just my hypothesis and initial approach. I think the main problem here is for gamers- but if we think for game devs it solves capital fragmentation and (some) new demand for early stage

@Shankusu993 Tough yaar. Once you take with these games you’ll have deeper insights here. Worth jamming with a few games esp early stage to see if this is a challenge for them.

What would you build if you knew you’d find users and capital?

@Saxenasaheb This hypothesis and overall system flow will still be valid, and can be tested with any game, so these indie games + any game with open payments api, or on-chain games/payments (need to hunt these). Also, OP promised me the assumption of users 😅, means the game dev get them too

@Saxenasaheb It would be great if there was someone building in my existing network, but if not my best bet would be indie game dev forums. They have clear incentives - get exposure to more users, and get direct access to gamer's funds without a credit lock-in (ease of tnx).

@Saxenasaheb (2/2) To test the core hypothesis of cross platform and convenience, these are also must: - at least 2-3 games integration/support, ideally both on-chain games but also the traditional ones - 1 click payment support on the payment interface - Standard security practices

@Saxenasaheb (1/2) I beleive, these are a must have from an MVP standpoint: - A wallet interface to load funds and track payments for gamers - Stable coin support, 1 popular one should suffice - A payment gateway API/SDK for integration with partner platforms

@alexanderlong That makes sense, but I also feel it's similar to any startup story. Whoever survives longer wins, china doesn't have to remain open forever, just a few years longer than west, once projects have moved to their models, the friction of moving back to US models will be v-high.

@Shankusu993 Thing is i think the probability of Chinese models continuing to be openly released long term is also very low.

Feel like meta closing models was very predictable. I explicitly said this would happen last year and explained why (from blog.pluralis.ai/p/article-2-pr…).
