Maybe this is the most important, it’s opensourced
Eventually all these puzzle pieces come together.
Llms are just a 
part of AIs, hardware will also significantly contribute to its collective intelligence…

IMO, fear of being replaced and having no future is a legit fear. We don’t know the future, but I certainly feel things are not looking good for future generations of humans as we exist now (sans cyborging or radical genetic engineering).
I’m not going to sugarcoat my posts here - there are great and interesting things about AI, but there is a serious issue regarding replacement of much of humanity and we don’t know how this is going to play out, but it’s dark for sure.

If the memory issue can be overcome, photonic computing will overtake the entire gpu/npu industry.

IMO, this new Mythos model by Anthropic is really good for all of us - in addition to unknown exploits, it will also find hidden back doors that corporations and governments have put into software and possibly hardware too. This is going to force them to seal them up - or otherwise they will be attack vectors for anyone with access to this model or similar models in the future, making the product useless. In fact this is really an amazing advance for all of humanity - leveling the playing field for all.

Opus 4.7 released, not to be confused with mythos which I suppose has no number yet.

Autogenesis is a self-evolution protocol and runtime for LLM-based agent systems.
Recent agent protocols often under-specify cross-entity lifecycle/context management, version tracking, and safe evolution update interfaces, which encourages monolithic compositions and brittle glue code. Autogenesis addresses this by decoupling what evolves from how evolution occurs:
- RSPL (Resource Substrate Protocol Layer): models prompts, agents, tools, environments, and memory as protocol-registered resources with explicit state, lifecycle, and versioned interfaces.
- SEPL (Self Evolution Protocol Layer): specifies a closed-loop operator interface to propose, assess, and commit improvements with auditable lineage and rollback.
Built on Autogenesis, the system includes an Autogenesis-Agent style tool-calling agent that can dynamically instantiate/retrieve/refine resources and improve during execution.
Kimi K2.6 is now out. It’s about 30-40% more expensive (can still use 2.5 though)
Reddit - Please wait for verification.
Also I see that GPT5.5 has also been released today. I don’t really care about that one as way too expensive for me.
I’ve been exclusively using kimi 2.5 for the last three months and am mostly happy with it. Have been wanting to try MiniMax 2.7 and MiMo 2.5, but currently I am using the kimi-code client, so I am locked into Kimi models with that. I am building my own coding harness however that will allow for multiple providers, so will test with them in the future.
Half a day later and bam!
The details make it look practically impossible. I don’t know how they’ve done this. More to come soon …
New chart with deepseek v4:
I was a bit surprised by this - expected v4 to be more bang for buck than kimi 2.6 … but thinking about it more I’m guessing that kimi has been trained on code for several months now (via k2.5) and I am now using k2.6 and can say that it is a big leap. Many have been using k2.5 for coding and Kimi has definitely been using all of this data for training k2.6. Meanwhile deepseek 3.2 hasn’t been used for coding nearly as much, so less training data for v4.
But Kimi is a 1Terabyte model while the new full deepseek v4 is a 1.7Terabyte model. So I expect that as deepseek gets more training data, v4.x in the future should be able to outpace kimi’s k2.x models. Time will tell.

Surprisingly, V4 Flash can be run with a much smaller footprint of memory. This means local and decent quality inference.
And in V4 cloud news:
X user thehype pointed out that the Chinese AI lab’s discount “is starting a price war in the AI market,” adding:
they just slashed input cache prices to 1/10th of what they already were.
and there’s a separate 75% off promo on v4-pro running until may 5th.
but even ignoring the sales – the normal api prices tell the story. output per 1M tokens (real weighted avg, no discounts):
- gpt-5.5: $30.21
- claude opus 4.7: $25.00
- deepseek v4-pro: $1.73
that’s ~17x cheaper than gpt-5.5 and ~14x cheaper than opus 4.7.
now add the 75% promo: deepseek output drops to $0.87/M. that’s 35x cheaper than gpt-5.5 and 29x cheaper than opus 4.7.
and the benchmarks? v4-pro isn’t that far behind. artificial analysis intelligence index:
- gpt-5.5: 60
- claude opus 4.7: 57
- deepseek v4-pro: 52
13% lower score. 35x lower price.
after releasing v4 on open weights (mit license, free to self-host), deepseek is now aggressively competing on cloud api pricing too. own both ends of the market.
it’s a dangerous game. when a model is 87% as capable at 6% of the cost, “we’re better” stops being a pitch
ai is starting to commodify. the price war has begun.
deepseek is starting a price war on the ai market
Note that the new pricing is temporary as they are trying to increase their market share by giving a low price to try it. DeepSeek has said however that they expect lower prices in coming months as they build out their hardware.
One last note: Kimi 2.6 is still better at coding than V4 pro in tests I’ve seen and it’s not very expensive either - comparable to V4 pro. However Kimi is a highly distilled MoE of deepseek 3.2 base. So I expect that as people start distilling deepseek V4 we are going to see a lot of improvements in it – possibly in around 3 months.
In short, Chinese companies are killing US AI in the longer run. Unless Mythos level models come out and are cheap enough to use, the Chinese AI companies are going to get the dominant global share.

Cashu is powering far more than just Bitcoin wallets.
While most people think of standard user-facing Bitcoin wallets when they hear Cashu, there’s a whole separate economy emerging around machine-to-machine payments.
One of the best examples is Routstr, an open-source decentralized marketplace for AI inference.
Routstr uses Nostr and Cashu at its core. Providers offer AI inference, and users pay for AI with Bitcoin. You can use Routstr as a normal AI chat interface or as a provider for your own AI agent. It gives users access to hundreds of models, similar to OpenRouter, but paid in Bitcoin with strong privacy for the payments attached to your AI chats.
There are no accounts. To fund your balance, you pay a Lightning invoice and mint Cashu ecash. Every time you make a query, you attach ecash to the request itself as a bearer token and micropayment for that individual call.
Now here’s the cool part. Anyone can become a provider because Nostr is an open network. Anyone can become an ecash mint because of how easy it is to run a Cashu mint. And every Routstr user has full control over which providers and which mint they choose.
I think Routstr is a great example of what becomes possible with a micropayment system like Cashu on Bitcoin. It removes much of the friction involved in building apps that use payments, because you don’t need to create user accounts, build a ledger, or track users at the expense of their privacy.

… and so it begins:
As the models improve hiring will continue to decline. As robots take over factories, hiring will decline.
Without jobs, per capita income declines.
With lowered tax revenue, government debts will increase and money printing will increase … increasing inflation
people out of work and facing higher prices will slash spending
businesses facing collapsing revenues, will slash production and so more jobs lost.
tax revenues will collapse and governments will print more and more money
people will give up on their national currencies (this is the “Crack up boom” that signals hyperinflation - people dump the currency, so it becomes worthless and can’t buy a loaf of bread for a wheelbarrow of currency).
At this point, we have mass starvation, riots, and theft of anything and everything not nailed down.
As Gerald Celente says, “When all else fails, they take you to war”.
Understand what’s coming and prepare. All of this was inevitable even without AI as the bankster-government ponzi would eventually bring this about, but with AI, it’s greatly accelerated; I’d guess 2030-2035 time-frame, but possibly much sooner.
A failure to plan is not an option for the sane.
The companies collapsing due to no one with money to buy stuff. (or if devalued money then still not enough value coming in)
Things of necessity would have to change quick or a complete collapse happens as no one except the AI companies have anything of worth left. Even resources are no good if no one can buy stuff and AI companies collapse too as the last companies to collapse.
According to the above analysis.
One simple solution is robots and AI agents get taxed at the rates humans of equal “qualifications” and humans paid UBI

I agree and have thought of this myself … but I do not think it’s a simple solution politically because what politicians are going to support such a proposal? I can certainly imagine that post-collapse this would be a politically acceptable way forward (with the rioters at the doors of the government), but so many other reforms are also going to be needed (e.g. switching to sound money) that, in the short run, I don’t think this will happen until things are already collapsing.
The counter to my arguments are that AI price deflation is going to save us, and certainly it’s going to have an impact, but with State/Bank money printing and a lack of worker income, price-deflation can’t ultimately save us from hyperinflation and economic collapse.

Self-Sufficiency is number one priority for resilience against the current trajectory.
If anyone hasn’t already, I would recommend looking into permaculture, it has certainly gained a lot of traction in recent years and in my personal experience is the best approach to agriculture.
Don’t be fooled by hydroponics (or aquaponics solutions that require pumps and other parts that demand a lot for maintenance), most of the food sold to us by the supermarkets are chemically grown and absent of the genuine nutrition that our cells need to repair themselves with.
When done right, permaculture let’s nature do what nature has always done, without any human intervention. It’s secret revolves around soil ecology and the natural equilibrium that is maintained automatically by between plants and micro-organisms.
Money has only ever been an abstraction, the only true currency in this world is and always has been time.
Though I’ll admit, no amount of perfecting your own little self-sustaining food source will protect you from the damage that has already been wrought on the global ecosystem.
Edit: Somehow published before finishing this, I guess I’ll post my verbal-diarrhea after all. I kinda planned to delete this once I got it out of my system
