โ€œWEATHER PORN.โ€ ๐ŸŒฆ๏ธ Thatโ€™s how one meteorologist at the World Meteorological Technology Expo described FACT. And yesterday there was a particularly satisfying plot twist: Michael Bรผhrer from @meteoblue presented @WeatherXM FACT on stage. ๐Ÿ˜„ Weโ€™re evaluating 40+ forecasting models against observations from 8,000+ WeatherXM ground stations, across the entire 2025 dataset. 1.83 BILLION hourly forecasts! Global rankings. Country rankings. Per-station results. Temperature, humidity, wind and rain. Every forecast horizon โ€” same day, +1, +2, +3, +4, +5 and +6 days ahead. One important caveat: WeatherXM MOSAIC and meteoblue mLM sit at the top, but theyโ€™re not playing exactly the same game as the other models. They use station observations as part of their post-processing/training, while the other models are evaluated without knowledge of our stations. So this isnโ€™t meant to prove that MOS โ€œbeatsโ€ global weather models. It shows something more commercially useful: ๐Ÿ‘‰ What accuracy should a customer actually expect at a physical location when buying an end-to-end observation + forecasting solution from us? The rest of the models compete on equal terms. And the results are spicy. ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ fact.weatherxm.com #MTX26 #TECO2026

If anyone wants to talk forecast accuracy tracking and which is the best model per variable, horizon for every single location we have a weather station, I am around. We published 2025 results comparing 40+ models, check it out at: fact.weatherxm.com @WeatherXM

AI agents are becoming economic actors. They discover services, negotiate, pay, execute, and settle through open networks. Identity and reputation rails are emerging through standards like ERC-8004. Payment rails are emerging through x402. But the agent economy is missing a critical layer: Trusted physical-world evidence. Before an agent can route a shipment, dispatch energy, price insurance, settle a prediction market, trigger a credit covenant, or execute a climate-linked contract, it needs to know: What happened? Where? When? Who measured it? How fresh is it? How reliable is it? Is confidence high enough for this action? @WeatherXM has turned decentralized environmental telemetry into machine-readable evidence bundles: signed observations, station identity, location, timestamp, freshness, quality score, nearby-station agreement, historical reputation, confidence level, and settlement context. The broader DePIN ecosystem is proof-carrying spatial intelligence for the cybernetic economy. But the deeper problem is that trustworthy physical-world data does not appear automatically. It requires human coordination: hardware must be deployed in the right places, by credible local operators, with the right incentives, verification, maintenance, and logistics. That is where WeatherXM's targeted rollouts experience, in fundraising campaigns and human coordination for hardware network expansion, becomes strategically important.

Athens had a moment last week. I spent three days at @PanatheneaFest 2026, and the takeaway is simple: Athens is now on the global tech map, a place serious people choose rather than tolerate. Panathฤ“nea is a not-for-profit, run almost entirely by students and recent graduates. That volunteer team still pulled in founders from ElevenLabs, Bolt, Runway, Airwallex, Deel and Plum; partners from Sequoia, Index, Atomico, Balderton, Northzone, 500 Global, PayPal Ventures and Dawn; operators from OpenAI, NVIDIA, Google, Microsoft and Qualcomm; and European deeptech founders from Proxima Fusion, Isar Aerospace and Open Cosmos. It also brought Greeks home, @real_ioannis (Reflection, ex-DeepMind) and @agermanidis (Runway). And teams are putting down roots here. @dionyziz' @CommonPrefix (~40 people), @poddotnetwork, and @Mysten_Labs Sui hub on the crypto-infra side; @YSmaragdakis' Dedaub on smart-contract security. Home-grown scaleups are real too: Viva.com (Greece's payments unicorn), Workable, Blueground, agritech-AI Augmenta (and more). I spoke at the Common Prefix ร— Pod side event on "Blockchain and Trust Technologies," alongside @sagrawal (Pod) and @nikil511, CEO of @WeatherXM. We got into the AI ร— crypto thread that's stopped being hand-wavy: decentralized training. You no longer need everyone in the same data center to train a frontier model. ~99% of a model's weights are bit-identical between training steps, so you ship only the ~1% that changed. @Hevalon's team at Covenant formalized this (their PULSE paper) and pre-trained Covenant-72B with trustless peers over the open internet. @huggingface then shipped the same trick in the open. Crypto's coordination layer + a ~100ร— smaller payload = a big model trained across machines no single entity controls. The other shift I keep noticing: most people still use agents for coding, or as a Google alternative. What's coming is general-purpose agents that research, draft, plan and do your work for you, and the hardware already knows it. The silicon being built isn't sized for one assistant; it's sized for an agent fleet. Two days ago NVIDIA announced the DGX Station for Windows: a GB300 ARM desktop with up to 748GB of unified memory, built to run hundreds of concurrent agents on-prem. You don't build that for a chatbot you visit. If you don't have 5, 10, 50 agents running at all times, local and cloud, doing evals, auto-research, quietly improving work you've already done, you're probably not using AI properly yet. We're early. But the people building the hardware have placed their bet. To the Panathฤ“nea team: thank you, and bravo. See you in 2027. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ท

Momir, moat will not be at the AI / agent level but at the data level, once we have an AI trust protocol that agentic harness can consume. In many ways, DePIN projects like @WeatherXM are building this protocol without realizing it. The trust harness for physical-world AI: a blockchain-native spatial intelligence layer that lets agents safely act on hyperlocal reality, not just digital information. btw, I came here to inform you there is an impersonator of your team scamming people xitter.cf/jiaping_vc He sends fake NDA google docs that need to install stuff on local machines :-/

ClawQueue is live ๐Ÿฆพ This is something I've build and use in @WeatherXM last few months to have @openclaw write @github issues for me and turn them in AI work queues that a scheduler dispatches on local machines, while team can follow up via project boards. CQ is intentionally small: GitHub holds the durable work contract, OpenClaw helps shape the work, your machine runs the workers localy, and workflow policy stays in markdown/config you can tune with your lobster. This is a good idea, if you operate your own company/project with your own profile, agents, boards, and worklog - or - you wanna contribute to an external/open-source project through. Ask openclaw to install CQ and create a project-specific CQ profile from the upstream repoโ€™s README/docs/contribution rules, then routing issue-driven agent work into reviewed PRs Try it: clawqueue.github.io/ClawQueuโ€ฆ

This issue goes far beyond prediction markets. Todayโ€™s forecasting systems depend on airport weather observations, yet much of that infrastructure was never designed for adversarial settings. An insider in a meteorological organization (e.g. admin) could alter data to influence an outcome, without a hairdryer on a sensor, and probably without being detected. We need to transition to forecasting systems backed by denser, lower-cost, and more resilient observation networks. That is exactly what weโ€™re building at @WeatherXM robust, blockchain-enabled weather stations and verifiable weather data pipelines for the next generation of forecasting infrastructure.

Distilled DePIN industry insights. Great work from a team that understands the space better than anyone, pointing out that in many cases FDV is misleading! Often real, customer-focused, no-BS projects don't advertise their progress enoughโ€”as with @WeatherXM. See our blog to find out more: blog.weatherxm.com
