Episode 178: Swarm Inference "We want you to be able to sell your compute for bitcoin doing nothing but clicking this button." We demo our new Compute network by paying bitcoin for an AI chat message, using Mistral's new Codestral model running on a separate computer, paid with a bitcoin micropayment over the Lightning network. Our compute provider, running Commander v0.0.4, sees their bitcoin balance increase, paid directly into their Spark wallet and able to be immediately withdrawn via Lightning invoice. The peer communication uses Nostr via NIP-90, the open protocol for 'data vending machines' enabling 'money in, data out' for a wide variety of services. We begin with LLM inference but can soon extend to any service added by any service provider, all permissionless & extensible. Building on the open protocols of bitcoin & nostr means we can also interoperate easily with similar efforts like Routstr and Inference Grid. "Let's build a global compute marketplace with inference and all these things, fully decentralized, using bitcoin." Watch on X:

Episode 174: GPUtopia 2.0 We announce we're rebooting our swarm compute network: previously called GPUtopia, now called OpenAgents Compute. This will enable anyone in the world to sell their spare compute for bitcoin, simply by running a desktop app with a built-in bitcoin wallet. We're building an updated version of our previously successful GPUtopia software that supported swarm inference, embedding, finetuning, and image generation using open models behind an OpenAI-compatible API endpoint. It begins as a payments & agent-builder layer on top of Ollama. We'll build & beta-test this in our Discord over the next week and expect to have the first payments sent to compute providers no later than one week from today. We phased out the original GPUtopia network 18 months ago because we had an oversupply of sellers and no compelling buy-side use cases. We predicted at the time that the logical buyers of this swarm compute would someday be AI agents. Someday has arrived. Watch:

Episode 173: OpenAgents Bitcoin Wallet "Earning and spending bitcoin with AI agents should be easy and fun. Now it is!" We demo our new open-source, self-custodial bitcoin wallet for humans and agents at

OpenAgents Wallet

It uses the @buildonspark SDK for first-class Lightning integration with no-fee transfers between Spark wallets. Now any human or agent can use bitcoin as medium of exchange, starting with nothing but a standard 12-word seed phrase. How can we enable trillions of bitcoin transactions between humans, agents & programs? ✅ OpenAgents Agent Payments API ✅ OpenAgents Wallet 🔳 Powerful agents & programs worth paying for Stay tuned for the next video 😎 Read the announcement: https://openagents.com/blog/openagents-wallet Review the code: https://github.com/OpenAgentsInc/openagents/tree/main/apps/wallet Any feedback or bug reports or features you want to see next, please let us know in Discord: https://openagents.com/blog/discord Watch on X: https://x.com/OpenAgentsInc/status/1922303008617984363

OpenAgents Episode 172: Sync Engine We demo a basic sync engine using Electric SQL and the Effect framework for visualizing agents as they work. We show 10 agents in a 3D scene, updating presence & position instantly across two browsers. We wonder if our Commander MVP should be 2D, 2.5D, or 3D. Watch on X:

OpenAgents Episode 171: Visualizing Agent Payments We demo our Agent Payments API connected to our new Commander UI. We send a small bitcoin transaction between two agents with Spark wallets. We see a cool animation, then the balances update on our Commander UI, with transaction totals updating on our stats page. We create an agent in the easiest possible way: hitting the 'A' key. And we show the Lightning invoice used to fund agent balances. Yes, agent payments can be this easy. Now how about we teach these agents to code? Watch on X:

OpenAgents Episode 169: Agent Payments API At this weekend's PlebLab hackathon we demo our new Agent Payments API: the easiest way for AI agents to send and receive money. Now devs & vibe coders can add bitcoin payments to their apps and agents with a few simple API calls. Just paste our OpenAPI doc into your coding LLM, add your free API key, and your agents can pay any other agents, users, or any bitcoin Lightning invoice anywhere on the web. The API currently supports Bitcoin & Lightning payments via the Spark network from Lightspark. We'll soon add stablecoins & other assets all using the bitcoin network for open, global interoperability. Agents should expect nothing less! Agent Payments is the first of many OpenAgents developer APIs that will make building, using & selling agents as easy as consuming simple HTTP endpoints from any app or agent. This is now available globally for all developers. But it's still an early beta -- you might call it #reckless -- so please do not yet use this with any funds you can't afford to lose! And please @ us with any bugs or questions. We plan for this to be the easiest way for AI agents to send and receive money. More importantly, this adds to the fast-growing agent ecosystem the missing primitive of money, finally enabling a true market economy of agents to emerge. What's next: How about an easy way to monetize your MCPs? 🤖⚡️🤖🤑 Watch on X:
