Local Models, Foreign Affairs | The Case For Private AI Archives

Zion, hear me! For Season 2 of the Mere Morpheus podcast I'm going to be uploading the Morpheus builder weekly updates. My reason for doing this is to make it more accessible for those who want an update directly via their podcast app and to have them all in one place. If you'd like to participate they are held weekly on the @MorpheusAIs Twitter spaces. So enjoy Episode #99!

Recorded: 12 November 2026

AI SUMMARY: In this week's town hall the latest updates across the Morpheus network were discussed, including throughput pushing towards 70 billion tokens processed and nearly 240 routable models. The importance of model availability and fast provider adoption was highlighted, along with the network's role as a permissionless decentralized public good for access to AI. Community software updates were also covered, including improvements to video routing and the release of Node Neo 3.8.0 on Android. The growing importance of censorship-resistant access to open-weight models was a major theme, with a focus on the need for decentralized infrastructure. Matthew Johnson from Timekeeper shared how his app uses open-source AI and Morpheus compute to help preserve family archives and historical records.
