BIG UNLOCK: Darkbloom goes live on @OpenRouter on Monday.
Private inference becomes available where users already route model traffic, powered by idle Macs around the world.
A network goes from interesting to imminent to inevitable.
Monday: Darkbloom goes live on OpenRouter.
Every OpenRouter user gets a free trial of private inference, powered by idle Macs around the world.
And for providers -- next week we're launching an Alpha Rewards Program: earn up to $40 guaranteed just for running a node. Limited
The safety debate has spent a decade asking whether AGI will be aligned.
@sreeramkannan's argument: that's the wrong demon.
Even perfectly aligned AGI concentrates power if it lives inside 3 buildings in San Francisco.
Alignment without coordination is just obedient

Our Head of Research @soubhik_deb was shaking with rage Tuesday night.
On the heels of ECDSA.fail - a breakthrough experiment in open agentic science - the team @AnthropicAI released a Fable model that explicitly censored open research.
Scientific progress should
Anthropic scraped the internet to build Fable 5
Now it blocks you from using it for AI research, security research, even biology
They climbed on open data and you need their permission to climb

OpenRouter integrates with YOUR Mac
Any one with a MacBook can now be a provider on OpenRouter. This privilege was restricted to the world’s leading inference providers.
Darkbloom is here to build the open inference network that anyone with a Mac can participate.

. @soubhik_deb says the quiet part out loud.
Closed AI is on a path toward closed science.
@eigenlabs exists to push the other way, toward open coordination, individual agency and infrastructure that lets open networks compete at machine speed.
The ladder is going away. We
The ladder is going away.
We exist to build new ladders.
Open coordination tools, open infra, and systems where individuals and networks can still compete in a post-AGI world.
A powerful piece by @soubhik_deb ⬇️
Given Anthropic's demonstration of hubris with the release of Fable, I shared some thoughts yesterday with the rest of @eigenlabs on why our mission matters in this moment.
These are dark winds. What Anthropic showed is they are increasingly willing to pull up the ladder after
