It's official. I've joined the @ethereumfndn AI team to make Ethereum the trust layer of the agentic economy. The AI economy is just getting started, and Ethereum is the perfect place to coordinate it - excited to push this forward. Send a dm if you're building cool stuff.

PSA: @VittoStack, @DavideCrapis & co have been in the trenches seeking actual use-cases for crypto and AI. This is a major breakthrough that opens up a design space where Ethereum, as a cryptographic world computer, can natively position itself as being useful for AI.

Ok, hats off, this is genuinely based. Private AI inference with usage enforced through zero-knowledge proofs instead of accounts, identity, or surveillance. This is exactly the kind of weird cypherpunk infrastructure Ethereum should be building.

Private inference without handing your identity

Today the EF and OA announce zkAPI—a new means for private AI Picture this: deposit ether into a vault, sign a zk proof, get a fixed amount of private inference. Advances like these help us move past middlemen's requirements that we link our data and identities. Read more below

Excited that zkAPI is out and live! Great joint effort with @VitalikButerin on our initial design, @curryrasul and @kenziyuliu + OA team on implementation, and the amazing push from @VittoStack on the dAI team to bring this out. If you want to implement private payments on Ethereum for your API, check the post and repo. We have more things coming out to enhance user sovereignty and privacy in the age of AI.

Quick updates on the Open Anonymity project (@OpenAnonProject)! 1. OA-chat is live! You can now signup: chat.openanonymity.ai 2. We collaborated with @ethereumfndn (@VitalikButerin, @DavideCrapis, @VittoStack, @curryrasul) to develop zkAPI, a new zero-knowledge protocol for accessing gated / paid APIs with unlinkability. It’s like a generalization of OA unlinkable inference that also abstracts payments away. Now also available on OA-chat! I'm excited because more infrastructure should exist where privacy and sovereignty is foundational and people are in control.

Today is my last day at @Alchemy, after more than four years, and I have nothing but gratitude for this adventure. I need to thank the people who made it one of the best chapters of my life 👇 None of this would have happened without the GOATs @VittoStack and @thatguyintech. It all started with the unforgettable Road to Web3 bootcamp and the first cohort of Alchemy Ambassadors. They gave me a place in this community, and then asked me to join the team. Then came @BeingDanNolan, @CodesMcCabe and @punk6068, three incredibly talented and kind people behind Alchemy University, a project that opened the door for so many students and new builders. I was lucky to collaborate with them and support the students along the way. Big shoutout to the marketing team too, some seriously talented and committed people I learned so much from: @itsNikkiLOL, @swampnet, @MaxCrawford8, @cryptobytch, @uttam_singhk and many others. Thank you @nikil and @thejoelau for building Alchemy, a project I'll always love, and for giving me the chance to be part of it. And a very special thank you to @angelinarusse, for always being so kind and making me feel like part of the family. But most of all, the Alchemy community 🙌 The kindest, most talented and most human group of people I've ever met. You were the reason I showed up every day, to every session, full of energy and the joy of doing it together. @talondragon000, @bartomolina, @LTebbs2, @AnshMinchekar, @naruto11eth, @RocioGonzalezT9, @spaceagente, @stevibe, @artlu99, @yikesawjeez, @FrancescoCiull4, @KillianeMenand, @BMbotsan, @chai_really, @tusharlog, @SummerMaxis, @0xeik, @SahilAujla15, @davide_petti, @emmanuelkiranrand and many many more! 🫶 Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️ PLW3! (My DMs are always open, let's keep in touch!)

I want to share my hot take on the TypeSafe Jev model that was announced yesterday. Comparing it to general LLMs is misleading because the model cannot generate free text. It's more similar to a smart tool. Based on the (little) public information it seems more similar to an old school classifier. It has some cool features, it leverages the flexibility and parallelism of transformers and can take free text input, and is probably easy to adapt to specific use cases that require structured output (you can get a tailor classification-style output quickly and cheaply). These tools are interesting in applied environments: - Business operations - Data infrastructure - Robotics processes as they can generate hard surfaces at lower cost with more security guarantees. But IMO not a game changer in terms of Frontier AI as the casual twitter observer would think.

Essentially, this is @levantolabs with better marketing.

bringing this line back from Feb that is still proving to be true: "The dividing line has never been skill. It has always been agency - the capacity to perceive your situation accurately, make decisions under uncertainty, and act on those decisions before you're forced to." -- @VittoStack

We did it. Over 1.2k stars on Wallbreaker in just over 1 month ✨ Industry-leading teams are now using it to jailbreak the most complex models. More open tooling coming soon.

Qwen3.8-27B Abliterated is now available for Apple Silicon with MLX 🔓🍎 Separate 4, 6, 8-bit + BF16 releases. All four scored 0/100 explicit refusals on harmful prompts and benign controls, plus 12/12 quality, 8/8 tools and verified 4K retrieval. huggingface.co/PocketAiHub/Q…

some not great news: i'm no longer at cyfrin due to engineering layoffs. i am open to full-time/part-time/contract full stack or forward deployed engineering roles. if you're hiring OR can share this, i'd appreciated it 🫶 leading @CyfrinUpdraft for 2.5+ years was a dream. i'll cherish the time there and the people i worked alongside. seeing products grow because of the people using them is why i love this industry. more on my work below ↓

guys you do know you can just disable thinking, and instead give it a "deep_think" tool, and it will call it with internal CoT reasoning format right? gl fixing that

What are the best models you can run on your @NVIDIAAI DGX Spark? ✨ Aug 2026 Edition 1× DGX Spark • DeepSeek v4 Flash - 1M ctx, 26 tok/s - recommended! • ⁠Qwen 3.6 35b NVFP4 - 256k ctx, 81 tok/s • ⁠Qwen 3.6 27b NVFP4 - 256k ctx, 33 tok/s ⁠Qwen 3.8 27b - should be released soon and this could change my recommendation! 2× DGX Sparks ← sweet spot! • DeepSeek v4 Flash 0731 - 1M ctx, 82 tok/s • Inkling-Small - 1M context, Full Omni, 33 tok/s • MiMo-V2.5 - 1M ctx, Full Omni, 31 tok/s • Step-3.7-Flash — 256K ctx, 30 tok/s 3× DGX Sparks • GLM-5.2 with Vision - 348k context, 25 tok/s - still the best intelligence you can run locally if you have 3 sparks. • DeepSeek v4 Flash on 2 units + smaller models on the 3rd spark for images, ComfyUI and other things. This setup gives you DeepSeek v4 Flash speeds for coding, plus strong agentic workflows and image support from smaller models. 4× DGX Sparks • GLM 5.2 NVFP4 across all 4 units - still think this is the way to go if you have 4 units! • The alternative is running DeepSeek v4 Flash on 2 units and any other 2x setup on the other units. The choice is your. Links and repos below 👇

on a similar note, thank you @m1guelpf and @VittoStack💖

Math is the FOUNDATION of everything, from AI models, to physics, to materials, to biology, and chemistry. Having an INSANELY powerful math model is incredibly important for every innovation and every science.

Happy Birthday Ethereum, click the link for a surprise. Everyone from founders, students, artists, collectors, crypto twitter
shitposters, open source builders, relentless cypherpunks, rwa pushers, liquidators, market makers, scrollers, haters, lovers, and creators, arrived here because somebody else made the introduction. Eleven years of that have compounded but none of us have seen what that looks
like visually when it is all put together. Today we draw it. > You get 11x11 pixels and 11 colors to make something. > It takes five minutes, costs nothing, and lives onchain forever. > Then you can share your link. > Everyone who draws through your link connects to yours. > Everyone who draws through theirs connects to them. By tomorrow the canvas becomes a picture of how Ethereum comes together, the way it has always; from person to person. The canvas is open for 24 hours, and it keeps growing the whole time. When it closes, your square sits next to your friend’s for as long as Ethereum runs, aka forever. Long live the world computer. networked.art/11x11
