Jesse Pollak on the ecosystem forming around tokenized inference "There's this really cool tokenized inference market that Venice has innovated, where they've taken inference and turned it into a token called DIEM where you can buy it and you get $1 of inference per day" "That innovation of tokenizing inference has unlocked a ton of innovation around it, where people are using that tokenized inference to do things" "There's other projects that let people sell their tokenized inference at a discount so other people can get cheaper inference and the whole system works more efficiently" "I feel like that's the first time we're really seeing the intersection of AI plus markets plus crypto and it's thanks to Venice and it's happening on Base"

Open weights redistribute the frontier: - Turn users into innovators - Make intelligence abundant - Put intelligence in more hands - Let anyone build at the frontier - Make research compound globally - Push hardware to get better, faster - Give people sovereignty over their AI - Make experimentation radically cheaper - Create markets closed models never will - Keep intelligence from becoming a monopoly Closed models concentrate intelligence, open weights and open models compound it.

Any Barcelona hotels you know with actual functioning AC that goes down to 16'C? Thank you
