@Eli5defi Happy birthday to them 🎉

Guys, my twin kids have a birthday today, so I’ll be mostly logged off until tonight. But I’ve already scheduled posts for today. It’s Black Monday, so take some time off and enjoy time with your fam. Take care ♥️

Eid Mubarak 🌙 İyi bayramlar. عيد مبارك Building, shipping, and grinding, but today we pause and count our blessings. Wishing every Muslim around the world a Happy Eid, and the entire IO community celebrating with us too. And a special prayer for safety and peace wherever it’s needed most. May this Eid bring calm and comfort to all hearts. 🕊️

We're live on @OpenRouter. 🚀 Decentralized GPU clusters. Faster, cheaper, more accessible model inference. But here's the kicker, we're running higher precision (BF16) while matching the throughput other providers get on FP4/FP8. Higher quality outputs, no tradeoff on speed. ➡️ openrouter.ai/provider/io-net

@mr_rb3rt @ionet @OpenRouter Thanks for the suggestion, We are monitoring health metrics and have further plans in the near future.

@ionet @OpenRouter you’re only providing GLM-4.7 tough need to add GLM-5 and Kimi k2.5 for real interest

Here's something to get excited about. @ionet is now a provider for @OpenRouter! This brings decentralized GPU clusters to the world’s most flexible AI API. It will deliver faster, cheaper, and more accessible model inference for teams everywhere. - Lower costs - Scalable compute - One point of access Check it out at: openrouter.ai/provider/io-net

Access to GPUs is key to succeeding in AI. Great ideas matter. Talented teams matter. Perfect product-market fit matters. But without accessible and affordable GPUs, even the most amazing projects can't succeed. Most data centers aren't ready for the exponential increase in demand. And the ones that are charge prices most people can't afford. That's why we're here: to increase access and affordability so everyone has a fair chance to bring innovative ideas to market. techradar.com/pro/barely-any…

@KyleSamani @multicoin @KyleSamani, wishing you all the best as you step into this next chapter. It’s been a real privilege to have you in our corner as we build @ionet. Your early conviction on DePIN + AI compute helped shape the space we’re still pushing forward in.

0/ A personal update I have decided to step back from @multicoin. It's a bittersweet moment for me because my time at Multicoin has been some of the most meaningful and rewarding of my life. That said, I am excited to take some time off and explore new areas of technology. After nearly a decade in crypto, I’m more confident than ever that crypto is going to fundamentally rewire the circuitry of finance. I believe the Clarity Act will unlock a tidal wave of new entrants and spur adoption unlike anything we’ve seen. I remain bullish on crypto, specifically Solana, and intend to continue making personal investments in the space and supporting Multicoin portfolio companies. Moreover, I will continue to serve on the board of @zama, and I will continue in my role as Chairman at Forward Industries (@FWDind). More on Forward in next tweet. It goes without saying that I also remain bullish on Multicoin. My partners @tushar_jain, Brian Smith, @johnrobertreed, @mattshap1, @xethalis, @SpencerApplebau, and @shayonsengupta are some of the best investors and operators in the world. I am excited for them to continue to drive the crypto ecosystem and Multicoin forward for many years to come. To all of our portfolio founders, LPs, and industry partners—thank you for the opportunity to work with you. For reference, here is the letter we shared with LPs today drive.google.com/file/d/1bsoabi…

Up to 60% of an AI startup's budget goes to infrastructure costs. Not engineering. Not product development. Not sales or marketing. Infrastructure. But there's another way. Decentralized compute can cut costs by 70%. That can be the difference between bringing a killer product to market and turning off the lights. io.net/blog/gpu-clust…

Every generation rebuilds infrastructure on new primitives. Railroads. Telecom. Internet. DePIN carries that torch forward, and unlike anything else in crypto, it doesn't need a bull market to win. It just needs the world to keep building. And the world never stops building.

GLM-4.7 built by @Zai_org just dropped on io.intelligence LiveCodeBench: 84.9% Claude Sonnet 4.5: 64% Open source model outscoring Anthropic's flagship on coding benchmarks. The "Preserved Thinking" mechanism actually works for long agentic sessions. Read more: io.net/blog/glm-4-7-n…

Happy 2026 ✨ DePIN tokenomics is a coordination problem with no easy answers. Suppliers, holders, users, treasury, stakers. everyone has different targets, different timelines, different risk tolerances. Get it wrong and you build an Ouroboros, a protocol that eats itself. Get it right and you build infrastructure that lasts. We think IDE is the right answer, but we're not asking anyone to trust us blindly. That's why we published the litepaper for community feedback first, and why independent reviews like Messari's matter. Their report is live. Take a look.

Read the Litepaper, Share Your Take!

@slymnogunc @ionet @BitRobotNetwork There was and will be for the next couple of days yes.

@Basem_IO @ionet @BitRobotNetwork It looks great. May the luck be on our side in the fights. Will there be a live stream?

The robots are warming up with some dance moves before they battle it out. Come watch the fights! We’re in the outdoor plaza from 12-5pm today. Also swing by the @ionet booth to check out the compute powering these guys. See you there. #SolanaBreakpoint @BitRobotNetwork

Also, We’re giving away 12 of these bad boys.

At io.net we talk a lot about accessibility in AI. But when we heard about the tragic accident that left @ufukless1, a member of the Turkish crypto community paralyzed, we knew that we had to think about accessibility in a bigger way and help him have access to the care and treatment he needs. I have minted 10,000$ worth of NFTs to support his recovery. Türk toplumuna tüm sevgilerimle

But the market has shifted, and we have grown, so what needs to shift is the how, not the why. That's what I've been focused on. That's why I took a beat. That's why I'm back on X now. Something great is on its way.

As I took space to reflect, to really focus on what matters, I realized something important. What drove us to start io.net in the first place is still driving us today. The vision of a world where AI is for the many and not the few hasn’t, and shouldn’t, change.

Sometimes we need to take a beat. To step back from everything and take time to reflect. That's what I did with X a few months ago. It was going to be a week. Then a week became a month. And a month became five. I didn't expect it to be this long, but I'm happy it was.
