@AdamWeitsman is the 🐐
Last night was an absolute movie, and my heart is full seeing the smiles on everyone’s faces and feeling their excitement!!!! It took a tremendous amount of time, energy, and resources to bring that party to life, and it was the perfect ending to an amazing @artblocks_io Marfa week! Im so grateful to everyone who came to support, and to @AdamWeitsman for having the incredible hunger to keep pushing this space forward, ESPECIALLY the IRL aspect of it. I truly believe that is where the real magic occurs!! Now it’s time to decompress, and figure out how we 10X the experience for next year! 🙏❤️🙏

How is @spacetimedb not getting more hype? It is one of the most exciting and innovative technologies I have worked with. It replaced my entire backend stack, while reducing per-user cost and simplifying front end logic.

Yesterday AI was used to uncover major vulnerabilities in the infrastructure of the internet. It's yet another example of how profoundly AI is reshaping the web. But what emerges on the other side is very much up for grabs. We were lucky enough to recently introduce two heroes of the Rebel Alliance @eastdakota, CEO & cofounder of @Cloudflare @dillonrolnick, CEO & cofounder of @NousResearch, the creators of Hermes, the largest open source agent harness in the world. Together they discussed who gets to build, control, and benefit from an internet run by AI It's worth a listen if you care about the future of the web. 0:00 Preview 1:41 From a Discord Group to an AI Lab 8:45 Can Anyone Actually Pause AI? 12:59 Would You Trust an Agent With Your Inbox? 14:58 Why Matthew Wouldn’t Trade Places With Sam or Dario 20:28 The Dead Internet Theory Was Wrong 22:28 Agents Don’t Click Ads. Who Pays? 30:38 Where Should Your Agent Actually Run? 32:32 Why American Builders Are Using Chinese Models 38:37 What Happens When Our Agents Work Together?

Jensen closed his GTC Berlin 2026 keynote with this Hermes Agent demo as the finale. He introduced it by saying the way to build an agent is to ask an agent to build it for you, so he installed and set up a customized Hermes in one prompt. Then he used Hermes, running on @nvidia RTX Spark, to create a simulated training environment for the @huggingface Microduck. Hermes planned an obstacle course with Nemotron and had GPT-6 Astra build it using FreeCAD, Omniverse libraries, Blender, Newton, and Isaac Lab. Hermes trained thousands of simulated ducks on that course until the validated policy was ready to run on the real robot in the physical world. At Nous, we believe open source is a practical tool as much as a philosophical ideal. It gives users the ability to build powerful, complex workflows chaining numerous local+cloud models, devices, and tools themselves instead of waiting for a company to enable them.

Excitingly, I would like to share that "tips are appreciated" ended with 6 acquisitions earlier this week. The edition adds to a growing series on how hospitality and food have shaped my worldview. Thank you for loving the work as much as y'all have. More to come.

“We see a future where billions of AI agents work around the clock. By the end of 2032, we expect this new workforce to exceed 7 trillion working hours a year, surpassing all paid human work in 2026. Our Machine Economy scenario reaches 340 trillion hours a year, 49 times that scale. This is a once-in-a-generation transformation in how humans work.” Check out MachineHour.AI to learn more A shoutout to: @leopoldasch for inspiring us to to put a thesis public Cheers to the 4 Backend Bellwethers (MongoDB, Snowflake, Datadog, and Cloudflare) which are best public proxies to backend stack growth from AI Agents @eastdakota @dittycheria @marcinzukowski @datadoghq @Snowflake @MongoDB @Cloudflare @RamaswmySridhar Shoutout to companies building the long term vision of an operating layer for the machine economy: @kiwicopple Supabase onboarding millions of new developers @TylerFCloutier Spacetime for supercharging realtime category @alighodsi innovating with the mosaic agentic framework

@GavinSBaker ramp data is great, here's another way to track it and look at it. Check out machinehour.ai to see some other ways we are looking at it. Love to get your feedback on research we just shared here yesterday :)

Dear Prime Minister Ambani, Please accept my humble apologies for not realizing that you are the real boss of India. Naturally, you would prefer to maintain your monopolistic exploitation of the great people of India, but would you nonetheless consider allowing Starlink to compete? There are many areas of India, as there are in all countries, with no Internet access, which denies children the opportunity for education and for small businesses the opportunity to sell their goods to a global market. Starlink would change their lives for the better. Thank you 🙏

since 2020, one of my north stars is that the best and most robust networks will be built around: - openness - credible neutrality - user sovereignty by many metrics, @nousresearch hermes agent is now the most widely used open source AI agent in the world and notably the value of hermes agent is not just that it is growing incredibly fast it is that it is growing incredibly fast in the right ways devs are cloning it contributors are improving it model providers can route any/all intelligence through it and more recently enterprises now feel safe to build on top of it in a world where synthetic intelligence is one of the most important inputs into labor, software, hardware, creativity, decision making it is more important than ever that our infrastructure of the future should not be a black box gatekept by a few to create distribution, pricing, or performance advantages at the expense of the rest of us it should be open, auditable, extensible and it should be controlled and operated by the people and organizations that use it proud friend and long time investor of this mission driven crew at @collab_currency keep up the people's work @dillonrolnick @karan4d @Teknium @theemozilla @SHL0MS @yeahfortommy @gradyacc and the rest of the killer squad at @NousResearch ♥️

🚨BREAKING: Nous Research just raised $90M at a $1.5B valuation HERMES WON
Friendly reminder that Hermes was never built or intended to be exclusively for the "personal assistant" agent that can just read your emails and nothing else. I fully intend and have plainly stated many times that I always built hermes to be the most powerful AI Agent. "Normie" consumers can leverage that and we do what we can to make it an experience they can approach (the mobile app will be almost exclusively focused on consumer) - but they are not our only demographic. I want the scientists, the cybersecurity engineers, the developers, the knowledge workers, the creatives, and everyone else to be able to have an agent that they can leverage that is maximally useful to them too. Not just your mom. (She called btw you need to make your bed)
