Morpheus Welcome Ceremony For Network State Refugees | Throughput Is Surging!

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 #83! Recorded: 23 July 2026 AI SUMMARY: Morpheus network momentum continues with July surpassing June's throughput and tracking toward its first 10‑billion‑token month while year‑to‑date nears 30 billion tokens. The marketplace shows improved provider count model availability and redundancy. The latest node update focuses on better provider health checks, stronger TEE validation and improved session reliability to reduce unnecessary MOR pre‑locking. Broader themes were discussed: the tension between self‑sovereign communities and state jurisdictions illustrated by the Network School situation and the security implications of the OpenAI/Hugging Face story for agentic systems and open‑source models. The episode closed on Kazakhstan's emerging role in AI/crypto infrastructure and a reminder that anyone can contribute to Morpheus.
