What is DIEM?
DIEM is Venice's token for AI inference.
Stake it in your Venice account and each DIEM becomes a dollar of recurring daily AI credits.
Here's a walkthrough:

Today, Venice passed 5,000,000 users.
Still private. Still anonymous. Still unrestricted.
Thank you to every builder, creator, and free thinker on Venice.

Venice daily token demand is now >500b and annual revenue is now >$150m

$POD launches inference API powered by DeepSeek V4.1 Flash.
@dphnAI is an AI lab that makes unrestricted/open models and runs a distributed inference network. Dolphin models have millions of downloads on Hugging Face.
A mix of idle consumer GPUs and data center GPUs contributes compute to the network. Dolphin routes inference requests on the network.
The network has so far processed ~8T+ tokens across ~1.6k unique workers.
The API signals Dolphin's expansion from building models and the network to a full inference API for agents, which is cheap, high-performance, and optimized for agentic workloads.
Dolphin has committed 100% of protocol revenue to open-market $POD token buybacks. However, multiple independent analyses confirm that no token buybacks have occurred to date.
API usage revenue could finally kick off the buyback flywheel, driving sustained programmatic demand for $POD.
$POD is up ~22.2% in the last 24 hours.
The Dolphin Inference API is now live
Powered by DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, it delivers Opus 5-class coding & agentic performance at 97% lower cost than frontier models

Our inference network processed over 8T tokens across 1.6k unique workers since inception
During that period of time we were able to:
• improve our anti-cheat systems
• scale up to thousands of workers & GPUs across the globe
• work with and around slow workers while still giving them the chance to contribute
• cut worker setup down to a few simple steps
• make routing much more stable in capacity recovery states
Benchmarking of our multi-node DeepSeek V4.1 Flash pool shows a consistent 96-98% average cache hit rate on agentic usage
The high frequency of cache hits results in the fastest & most cost effective API experience for prefill heavy usage that is typical with agent / harness workloads

.@lium_io, a GPU cloud on Bittensor, used its revenue to buy back and burn nearly $2.7M worth of SN51 tokens in under six months.
A single September transaction accounted for almost $1M.
More on Lium’s growth and buybacks:
Utilization is at an all time high, we are fully rented out of most GPU types on our platform.
This is a call for anyone with spare GPUs to rent them out through lium! The process is super simple and you get paid 95%+ of rental fees + payments even while unrented!
The full setup is less than 10 minutes.

Proud to be a day-1 provider on @Architect_Fi. Inference need real markets and we're bringing capacity to help build them. Congrats @BrettHarrison and team.
I truly believe the most important and powerful AGI system in human history will be run and organized in a decentralized way, and the protocol is most likely Bittensor.
As a subnet builder, I see endless possibilities in what this protocol enables. Bittensor has evolved a lot through real practice, and no other protocol has come this far.
Bitcoin decentralized money. Bittensor is decentralizing intelligence
$TAO 2030 is our case for Bittensor becoming a $1tn+ ecosystem by 2030

Proud on @engyai growing 100% MoM in revenue while not relying on OR or other distributor channels. We are processing 4-5b Kimi k3 tokens daily and scaling upwards. If you're still using OR, take some time to test it out.
Better pricing and better customer service

September was one of NEAR Intents’ biggest growth months yet, across volume, users, and new integrations.
Intents' September momentum, by the numbers 🧵

🚨 The @a16z Consumer AI Top 100 is back - but this time, it's 150!
We added revenue data from @yipitdata to track how consumers are spending not just time, but money, on AI.
The result? A story of heavy concentration among AI's power users. Our takeaways 👇
The seventh edition of our Top 100 Consumer AI Apps is here.
New this time: a revenue leaderboard, alongside the usual web and mobile traffic rankings.
Three years ago we published the first edition. ChatGPT was #1, Claude was unranked, and the entire category was chatbots, image generators, and not much else.
In today's edition:
- ChatGPT still holds the throne, now with 1B+ monthly actives on mobile
- Claude has climbed to #3 on web with nearly 1B monthly visits
- The category has expanded to vibe coding (Lovable, Cursor, Replit), music (Suno), design (Figma), voice (ElevenLabs), video (Higgsfield, Kling), agents (Manus), and even hardware (Plaud)
