Migrate your agents to @gonka_ai before centralized dependencies become effectively irreversible proxy.gonka.gg/

Access to neural networks based on your passport has ceased to be a dystopian fantasy A few days ago, Anthropic released Fable 5. Essentially, it's their flagship Mythos 5, but censored (which was already a concern). On top of that, almost immediately, the U.S. government demanded that access to both models be banned for all foreign nationals. And it doesn't matter where you are, even if you work at Anthropic itself There are around 300 million U.S. citizens, while the world's population is 8.3 billion. That means roughly 8 billion people will officially be cut off from the most powerful AI model available today Even Andrej Karpathy, a true AI industry celebrity who recently joined Anthropic, got caught in the crossfire. He simply doesn't have an American passport. As a result, the company temporarily shut these models off for all customers while the dispute with the authorities is being sorted out. We're getting used to a new reality First, AI has officially become a strategic resource. On par with uranium, chips, and weapons. Second, access is granted based on citizenship. Your talent, needs, or money no longer matter Third, we now have two closed camps: the U.S. and its allies versus China and its allies. Everyone else will have to make do with whatever they are allowed to use Today, it is not so important who exactly built the best model. What matters is the precedent itself: access to intelligence for 95% of the planet can be cut off with a single letter from a regulator. Which means the world desperately needs independent infrastructure that cannot be switched off at the snap of a finger

"... building a world in which everyone can flourish requires shared responsibility and courage. No one can single-handedly bear the weight of the challenges the world is facing, just as no one is so weak that they cannot play their part, for “power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Cor 12:9). All are given their own section of the wall..." - Pope Leo XIV’s Magnifica Humanitas

AI deflation is starting to hit. @nebiusai is rapidly increasing its GPU prices: H100: $2.95/hr → $3.85/hr B200: $5.50/hr → $7.15/hr This is what the capital shift into AI looks like. As intelligence becomes abundant, most goods, labor, and even fiat currencies may fall in relative value against AI infrastructure assets: compute, energy, chips, data centers. AI infrastructure is becoming monetary infrastructure.

We are officially past the point where decentralized AI inference is only a philosophical argument Over the last 24 hours, Gonka processed hundreds of thousands of inferences and billions of AI tokens across the network. Across a decentralized network of real hardware built by dozens of participants - companies and individuals This is still early and rough around the edge, people are still hitting limits, but when they do, it’s another milestone for the network. But this is exactly how new infrastructure starts. Perfection is not important, usability is. It is already real, being used, and improving faster each week The demand for inference is already coming from millions of developers, agents, builders, and users around the world. The question is whether this demand will keep flowing into a few centralized providers or whether it will drift towards an open, verifiable, decentralized alternative If you want decentralized AI to exist, use it. Try the inference, build with it, help other people connect, launch a swarm of agents, and try to bump into the limit to push it further. Every request, every test, every fix, every GPU, every new user makes the network stronger Bitcoin started this way. This is how open infrastructure wins

Thank you, @PeterMcCormack, for the opportunity to discuss this important topic and share our thoughts with your audience regarding what might happen without the decentralization of AI (including the darkest scenarios). Watch and beware

Our conversation with Alexander Sokolovskiy, seen by 1M Russian viewers, is now in English It’s about more than AI. It’s about intelligence becoming infrastructure. The key question: Who owns it? If AI is controlled by a few corporations and states, the future stays permissioned Open models, distributed compute, shared intelligence Let’s build that future youtu.be/2-3CFlNk180

‘The world is changing. AI—the biggest frontier models—can fit on a tiny flash card. They are essentially copyable, so every human on Earth can have them. We can actually bring abundance to billions of people around the world if we manage to make these technologies universally accessible.’ @DaLiberman at LA Hacks 2026. youtube.com/watch?v=NtZrvn-B…

DeAI is not built on technology alone. It also depends on transparency, trust, and responsibility to the community around it Periods of strain are when principles are most severely tested. They rarely collapse in a single moment. More often, they erode gradually, through small concessions, accumulated compromises, and decisions made for immediate convenience If DeAI is meant to differ from centralized corporate systems, that difference has to be visible in practice, not only in language

Proud to be early supporters of @Pron Congratulations, @antlevandowski!

Anthropic has not released its most powerful model to the public and has given access only to a closed group of partners - Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia This is not an exception. It is a pattern Not long ago, public leaders in the industry were saying that AI would be accessible to everyone, that it would expand human potential. In reality, we are returning to a familiar structure: a closed club, selective access, control This is not about safety, no matter how it is framed. It reflects a deeper logic of elites - dividing the world into insiders and outsiders and controlling access to key resources In the past, those resources were oil, energy, finance, water. Now intelligence and compute have been added to that list And the outcome is always the same: not abundance, but competition for access, gatekeeping, constant tension and conflict AI is only accelerating this dynamic. For the first time, this is not just about resources, but about a system that shapes thinking, decisions, and the structure of society itself If this layer remains centralized, we do not get a future of abundance, but a more advanced form of dependency So the question is no longer about technology. It is about architecture Either AI remains in the hands of a few players, and the world is ultimately divided between those who have access and those who do not Or an alternative layer emerges - decentralized compute, open-weight models, distributed infrastructure This is the only way to break the cycle in which resources inevitably concentrate in the hands of a few Otherwise, history will repeat itself. And we will find ourselves back in the Thucydides Trap

The Libermans were one of our first 'creator style' investments at @slow where we bet on them holistically to do interesting importand and different things vs. just backing a single project / company. Super cool to see them innovating here and exploring edge ideas.

.@BitfuryGroup just made its largest decentralized AI compute bet to date: a $50M phase-one commitment into next-generation GPU infrastructure. This is why I believe the architecture behind GONKA represents a ‘Bitcoin moment’ for AI 👇 medium.com/@bitfurygeorge/go…

Compute Sovereignty We’ve been flying a lot lately (hello from London:) and meeting with people who shape the future of their countries, regions and industries. Ministers, fund leaders, executives, crypto OGs, universities, infrastructure teams. And almost everywhere we see the same reality. Even if a country or a business has the budget for premium GPUs, buying them directly is nearly impossible without external approval. To receive an NVIDIA allocation, you first need authorization from the U.S. State Department. One approval chain. One protocol, regardless of which country you’re from or how much capital you have. These approvals take months, sometimes quarters. There’s a case that has been ongoing for more than a year. Countries are beginning to realize: lack of access to compute means lack of sovereignty — and possibly lack of a future. When we speak with decision makers, we see the demand for Compute Sovereignty emerge right in the middle of the conversation. This concerns everyone, because compute is becoming a new form of independence. States once fought for natural resources. Today, they face a critical need to own and develop their intellectual infrastructure. And this doesn’t apply only to governments. Companies, universities, regions and startups will be split into those who have access to compute and those who will be forced to ask and wait for permission. Compute Sovereignty is about who remains a subject in the new world. This is why, seeing where everything is headed, we started building Gonka two years ago. We are creating a network where compute belongs to participants, not to two centers of power. Where intelligence becomes infrastructure, not an instrument of control. We built the protocol.
