Dropped a quick guide on getting started with Hermes for as little as $0 Focus is on actually turning it into a personalized analyst instead of another generic agent + workflows/tools/crons that matter in practice If you're trying to get started, this should help

Open, Decentralized AI, and Self-Sovereign Intelligence theses are all getting the biggest validation this week BUT..... investable opportunities remain quite limited — high revenue DeAI projects accrue value to equity and only use token as incentives In this week's After Hour, we discuss self-sovereign thesis + structural tailwinds + biggest DeAI sectors now & in the future + where asymmetric opportunities are Link below ↓

Most exciting stuff in the market right now (for me) - We've just received strongest validation of open/decentralized ai thesis: Fable/Mythos 5 ban + Anthropic KYC terms + Gov approving GPT 5.6 release customer-by-customer. Gov gatekeeping AI → retail & enterprises opt for open/decentralized ai instead - Dolphin AI released v2 of the network, representing real progress towards peer-to-pool decentralized inference infra (Golang rewrite, auto updates, NVFP4 quantization, sharded inference, and a stacked pipeline like custom inference engine, decentralized RL, and more) - Bittensor releasing new set of network upgrades, subnet owners/investors lock-stake to show "Conviction", shift from Net TaoFlow-based emission to price-based emission for fairer economic, "Root Reborn" proposal for more productive root prop yield management, and more - Arcium Blackthorn's Confidential AI introduces additional privacy guarantee on top of NVIDIA GPU through Arcium MPC with a single software switch - Agentic Commerce x402 found its first real use case → pay-per-use model inference, sharp discount from compression, per use/x402 subsidy - Data is about to become a bottleneck → Ilya Sutskever says the AI scaling era is running out of road because pre-training is about to hit a finite-data wall. 2012 - 2020 = age of research, 2020 - 2025 = age of scaling but now the scale is so big, 2026+ = back to age of research - Grass token holders call on July 7 will answer whether rev goes to token holders/whether they're token-aligned. Story pivoting to "Data Foundation" & investing in Kled further validate the demand for data. Reppo about to validate its decentralized data evaluation network/data pipeline with enterprise clients 2026 will be the best year for open/decentralized ai and privacy
