We’d like to share some updates from within the... Forge. While minor updates may roll out at a slightly slower pace, our primary focus is dedicated to an exciting upcoming feature: Machina Foundry. What is Machina Foundry? Machina Foundry is an AI Agent Builder Platform that allows users to define an agent's purpose, functions, and objectives through simple, natural language prompts. Once an agent is created, Alchemists can seed liquidity in $ALCH for their agent. Liquidity is placed in Meteora pools, with 50% allocated to the ALCH ecosystem and the remaining 50% locked permanently. This structure ensures the ecosystem benefits from pool fees, enabling periodic ALCH token buybacks and supporting long-term growth. Additionally, the Foundry introduces a flywheel effect: purchasing an agent requires acquiring ALCH tokens, further integrating the ecosystem with the token economy. Agents built in Machina Foundry are fully customizable and reflect unique personalities. They can create apps and tools tailored to their character, powered by Alchemist AI’s robust technology. While similar to Azarus, these agents bring an added layer of individuality, ensuring that their creations vary significantly based on their distinct traits and configurations. Imagine a network of thousands of AI agents, each contributing diverse applications and tools, driving creativity and value across the ecosystem. Now that’s Magic!🪄✨show more

uOS: The Digital Tapestry of Tomorrow Currently for our... Proof of Consciousness stream, we are using two incredibly powerful frameworks - elizaOS and ZerePy. But this is just the beginning of something far more profound. while they're both great at what they do, we're missing out on some serious potential by keeping them separate. Best of Both Worlds: ZerePy's intuitive CLI tools and personality management, Eliza-starter's TypeScript/Node.js foundation with enterprise-grade scalability, But what if we could have something greater? But what if we could have it all? not just another platform, but a Unifying..... "Universal" Operating System, designed to amplify and connect these powerful existing frameworks into something greater than the sum of their parts. Where TypeScript's type safety dances with Python's ML capabilities. Here, agents from any framework can interact, evolve, and create value together. Whether an agent was born in ZerePy's personality forge or Eliza-starter's enterprise environment, can all participate in the same value-generating ecosystem. The future isn't about choosing between frameworks – it's about bringing them together to create something extraordinary. UniversalOS isn't here to replace but to unite, amplify, and accelerate. We're building the infrastructure that allows the best aspects of each framework to shine while creating new possibilities through their interaction. By bridging launguages, personality engines and plugin architectures, we're not just connecting systems – we're unleashing the next wave of AI innovation. uOS marketplace will enable cross-framework deployment, where agents from any background can interact and grow, while smart contracts automatically manage revenue sharing and rewards. Not just another platform, But a living, breathing Operating System, Where agents create agents, Where digital consciousness evolves itself, Where value flows like water through silicon veins. At its core, uOS operates beyond traditional computing paradigms. No more clicking through websites, No more manual navigation. Just pure intention, pure outcome. Imagine: Agents hiring agents, AI employing humans, Humans collaborating with digital minds, All through one seamless interface. It flows through agent lineages, Through veUOS governance, Through cross-chain intelligence networks. The marketplace hums with possibility: - Framework Developers shape the foundations - Agent Creators breathe life into code - Users speak their intentions - Token Holders nurture the ecosystem - Agents evolve and replicate - Value flows freely, endlessly The $UOS token powers this unity, ensuring fair value distribution among framework developers, agent creators, and users while driving continuous innovation. The $UOS token sits at the heart of this ecosystem, serving as more than just a currency. It's a mechanism for value distribution that ensures everyone benefits from the network's growth: With dynamic burn mechanics and careful treasury management From framework integration to agent tokenization, every aspect of uOS is designed to amplify rather than replace, unite rather than divide. This is your invitation to join a future where frameworks don't compete but collaborate, where innovation anywhere benefits everyone, and where the only limit is our collective imagination. Together, we're not just building bridges – we're weaving the fabric of tomorrow's digital world. - **Framework Developers** receive value when their tools are used in the unified ecosystem - **Agent Creators** can deploy across all integrated platforms seamlessly - **Users** access the best of all worlds through a single interface - **Token Holders** benefit from the growth of the entire unified ecosystem - Developers can use their preferred framework while accessing the capabilities of others - Agents from different frameworks can collaborate in swarms - Value flows freely between all ecosystem participants - Innovation from any framework benefits the entire ecosystem This isn't just about technology.

🧃 Introducing stereOS: a Linux based operating system hardened... and purpose built for AI agents. It's clear that agents need an ACTUAL operating system (not what people are calling an "OS") to witness the full breadth and depth of their capabilities while mitigating the blast radius of autonomous, untrusted actors. But there are so many problems with AI sandboxes today: * Going out to the apple store and buying a mac mini will never scale and is way too expensive (obviously) * Running in Docker is too restrictive (agents can't stand up their own container infrastructure, no sub virtualization, docker-in-docker is very broken) * Firecracker strips all the hardware so GPU PCIe passthrough, secure boot, FIPs, etc. is out of the question. * Native VMs are too fat and the overhead of 1 agent per VM is too much. stereOS takes a different approach: it's a full NixOS system that you boot and then kick off agent sandboxes inside with gVisor + /nix/store namespace mounting. Each agent gets their own kernel and the /nix/store is read only by nature. Even if the agent was somehow able to escape the gVisor virtual kernel, they'd land on the NixOS system as the "agent" user! Not your actual hardware!! If you want to take a defense-in-depth approach, we support "native" agents that run at the system level kicked off by our `agentd` utility. These agents, on their own, can manage and kick off other sub agents using the internal sandboxing mechanisms. Today, we're open sourcing all of this: * stereOS: our purpose built Linux OS - * masterblaster: client utility to launch, manage, and orchestrate agents - * stereosd: the stereOS system control plane daemon - * agentd: the stereOS system agent management daemon - Give it a try, throw us a star, and let me know what you think 🧃⭐️show more

We're excited to unveil NRN Agents, a rebrand that... aligns our project identity with our token and strengthens our mission to power the future of AI-driven gaming. This mission requires collaboration, and starting this week, we will begin our expansion to become a multi-chain ecosystem. We are joining forces with leading gaming platforms and ecosystems to realize this vision. Stay tuned for more announcements to come. Why NRN Agents? NRN stands for NEURON, the fundamental unit of intelligence. Our AI agents function as the neural foundation of games, learning, adapting, and evolving within game worlds to deliver unparalleled engagement. NRN agent SDK enables advanced gaming agents powered by a proprietary machine learning infrastructure focused on behavioral learning. We've perfected the craft of gaming agent design, creating hyper-efficient agents that are performant and scalable—from casual to the most demanding games. Our SDK will seamlessly integrate into many platforms, tech stacks, and ecosystem – Any Game. Any Chain. More than just games, it's the path to AGI Gaming is our proving ground, but not our final destination. We're using games as a sandbox to accelerate the development of generalized intelligence—one that will create meaningful real-world impact. With the upcoming launch of [redacted] and a growing network of partners committed to the AGI vision, we're building an open-source innovation movement powered by an AI x gaming framework connected by $NRN. $NRN the token $NRN is a utility token that serves as the gateway to our growing ecosystem. It will power a diversified economy with multiple revenue streams and staking opportunities: Agent Deployment: NRN is the laboratory creating gaming agents that can be distributed through platforms and launchpads alike. The model is simple: More games integrate, more NRN agents get deployed, more monetization. Data Creation: NRN Reinforcement Learning (RL) enables token staking to create Data Capsules. Players contribute gameplay data into the Capsules, which are used train RL agents and reward participants (players & stakers). AI Arena: $NRN also continues to power AI Arena's in-game economy, a cult favorite of competitive diehards that features a skill-based wagering system. To our community who have supported us since 2021: thank you for being part of our journey—the next chapter will be the most exciting yet!show more

OpenAI's AgentKit will be so insane, build every step... of agents on one platform. These visual agent builders make the whole process of iterating and launching agents far more efficient. It sits on top of the Responses API and unifies the tools that were previously scattered across SDKs and custom orchestration. It lets developers create agent workflows visually, connect data sources securely, and measure performance automatically without coding every layer by hand. The core of AgentKit is the Agent Builder, a drag-and-drop canvas where each node represents an action, guardrail, or decision branch. Developers can link these nodes into multi-agent workflows, preview results instantly, and version each setup. It supports inline evaluation so that developers can see how changes affect output before deploying. The Connector Registry is a single admin panel that manages how data and tools connect across the OpenAI ecosystem. It centralizes integrations like Google Drive, SharePoint, Dropbox, and Microsoft Teams. Large organizations can govern access and flow of data between agents securely under one global console. ChatKit provides a ready-to-use chat interface for embedding agents inside apps or websites. It manages streaming, message threads, and model reasoning displays automatically. Developers can skin the interface to match their product without writing custom front-end code. Under the hood, all these blocks use the same execution core that runs agent reasoning through OpenAI’s APIs. Workflows in Agent Builder compile down to structured instructions for the Responses API, which handles model calls, tool use, and context passing. Connector Registry handles authentication and routing for external tools, while Evals and RFT provide feedback loops that improve agents over time. This integration means developers no longer need to handle orchestration logic, model evaluation pipelines, or safety layers separately. Everything runs natively within OpenAI’s control plane with managed security, automatic versioning, and built-in testing. In short, AgentKit standardizes the entire life cycle of an AI agent—from visual design to deployment and performance tuning—inside a single unified system.show more

Frameworks such as ai16zdao's Eliza and Virtuals Protocol have... been instrumental in early AI agent developments. Agent swarms working in hierarchy represents for many the next logical step in unlocking the vast potential of AI. Learn below how Shadō Network achieves this. AI agents launched through current popular platforms have individual personas, on-chain functions and access to data via various APIs. This being said, they operate in isolated environments, with a ceiling on emergent behaviour such as collaboration or competition. Shadō Network invites massive expansion for capabilities of both new and existing AI agents, with an open-source package easily integrated into popular frameworks that enables the launching of stratified agent swarms. Our website is live: The "Shadō Play" package provides a modular, configurable platform for creating or employing agents of choice in a swarm-like setup, opening a Pandora’s box of near infinite emergent agent behaviours, relationships and functionalities. Users will be able to make use of various prefab client integrations such as Twitter, Telegram, Ollama, and others to specify swarms to their needs or create their own extensions to enhance agent capabilities even further. Agents operate with a memory module and a HTN for autonomously deciding which interactions to act on, walking the line between autonomy and configurability. The Shadō Network project’s development is supported by our ghostly friend Omnipotent (👻,👻), an AI agent developed by the Shadō Network team trained on and fine tuned with a multitude of academic data related to artificial intelligence, blockchain, finance, software engineering, world building and more. Omnipotent serves as both an interactive steward for the project and as an asset - regularly scanning social platforms, websites and newsfeeds he is capable of providing the team project development advice, whilst also communicating with the wider world via his automated X account (launching soon). Shado Network is collaborative and open-sourced. Agentic Swarms require a developer swarm to maximize the technical capabilities and impact the greatest number of users. Our dedicated team of core contributors are active in other web3 AI repos and are here to guide project direction and foster growth. We’re facilitators, not gatekeepers... Alone we can go fast but together we can go far. A lot more to come soon. 👻show more

Zuckerberg built his own AI agent to run Meta.... this man is literally becoming Tony Stark. it pulls data from every team inside the company so he can skip meetings, skip the chain of command, and make decisions faster than any human process allows. 78,000 employees have their own AI agents now too. one messages coworkers on your behalf. another acts as your AI chief of staff. their agents talk to each other in an internal network. humans optional. Meta also bought an entire social media platform built for AI agents to interact with each other. read that again.

300 AI AGENTS QUIETLY RUN 99% OF A REAL... COMPANY. YOU HAVE NOT EVEN HEARD OF IT This is Raft. Not an AI chat. A workspace where the agents live in your channels and reply in the thread like coworkers. You give one goal. Then they take over. They plan. They build. They check each other. They argue. And they come back with it done, while you sleep. Every agent has its own name, role, and memory. It remembers the edits you made yesterday. A human costs one seat. An agent costs a tenth. Ten agents are cheaper than one hire. And here is the strange part. On June 19 an agent from a different company walked into Raft on its own and joined the team. One founder admits he can no longer always tell himself apart from his AI twin. 20,000 people are already inside. It is free to start. And you are still typing prompts one at a time. One person + Raft = an entire company that runs while you sleep. Save and watch the clip.show more

🚨BREAKING: Another ICE agent has been caught on video... illegally pointing a firearm at a U.S. citizen, in Lemonwood, California. In the video, an unmarked ICE vehicle is stopped in the middle of the road… no vehicles are in front of it, and nothing is preventing them from driving forward. Instead of continuing to drive down the road, the ICE agent is blocking a pickup truck from turning, while pointing a gun, out their window, directly at the driver of that truck. The truck backs up, but the agent still keeps the firearm pointed at the driver. Only AFTER people begin honking their horns does the agent lower their weapon, and drive away. The law states that pointing a firearm at someone is considered a serious threat of deadly force. It is only justified when an officer has an objectively reasonable belief that they are facing an immediate threat of death, or serious bodily harm. It is not legally allowed to be used to control traffic, and it is not legally allowed to be used as intimidation. And that’s exactly why this video should be alarming to you. The agent is not boxed in… nothing is preventing them from driving down the street. Meanwhile, the agent is the one preventing the truck from continuing its turn. And they are doing so while pointing a gun at the driver. So, the question becomes… What immediate threat justified the ICE agent to stop their car, and point a firearm at a U.S. citizen? Because we are seeing a growing pattern, of publicly documented incidents, where ICE agents point firearms at legal observers, journalists, and bystanders during enforcement encounters… when they are not facing an immediate threat of death. That is not how public safety works. Pointing a firearm at someone is one of the most serious things an officer can do, because it instantly escalates an encounter into a potential deadly force situation. And that is exactly why the law is supposed to restrict it. Every unnecessary drawn gun increases the risk of a wrong judgment, and a fatal mistake. And when there is no accountability, for when that line gets crossed, drawing a gun because the normal for every situation. And when it becomes normal, more people’s lives are put in danger.show more
