AI SUMMARY: Morpheus announced an official collaboration with Secret Network to advance privacy‑preserving AI infrastructure. The network hit its biggest month yet with 16 billion AI tokens of throughput in July while recent contract and API gateway updates improved reliability and session handling. The White House exempting open models from new frontier testing rules was highlighted as a win for open‑source AI alongside rapid advances in models like DeepSeek v4 Flash and Kimi K3. The episode also noted AI video generation progress creative opportunities around the Venice film festival and praised the Morpheus Asia community’s efforts at Malaysian Blockchain Week.
