About this episode

This episode discusses the latest updates on Morpheus, including the launch of mordiem.com and the rise of Hermes as a leading agent framework.

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 #73! Recorded: 14 May 2026  AI SUMMARY:  Ryan Condron launched mordiem.com, letting Venice DIEM holders stake unused inference to Morpheus (boosting compute and earning yield) plus options to stake MOR for user inference or to the MorDiem builder pool at 20% APY.

Hermes has overtaken OpenClaw as the top open‑source agent framework due to better memory, self‑improving skills and easier migration. Security discussion covers recent npm supply chain attacks and dependency audits. The US Clarity Act clearing committee may impact decentralized markets.
