Town Hall Now With Live Video! | Morpheus Turns 3 Years Old

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 #89!

Recorded: 3 September 2026

AI SUMMARY: In this week's town hall the show went fully live on video while examining Morpheus network stats and their ecosystem implications. Strong growth in native and total throughput was highlighted with August setting a fresh high and usage nearing 50 billion AI tokens this year. Morpheus' three-year anniversary was celebrated reflecting on evolution from white paper to a live network with hundreds of models dozens of providers and real products people use daily. New visibility tools were explored including dashboards for model activity provider health and marketplace competition plus discussion on why 2026 marks the shift from "come and build it" to "come and use it".

The conversation covered product experience private AI social coordination with agents and experiments like BuddyBots and OpenClaw aiming to make personal agents easier to use. Topics also included Morpheus' growing traction across Asia model naming challenges the rise of ultra-cheap high-performance open models like GLM 5.3 Flash and why cost per completed task matters more than benchmark theatre.
