6M+ views, +$6.5k made autonomously, £350 real bounties paid out, ~100k followers. Pino has come a long way in the last 18 months...from when I first wrote out the idea, sent it to a friend and he said it was rubbish...to building it anyway.
Everything is threeJS / webGPU even down to per-instance animations, custom shaders and pre-renderer dither effect.
Although Pino has been in development for a long time, and he's been switched on for 4 months - people are just catching on that this approach to AI development has not been done before, and there is a clear want for it...he isn't just a chatbot, or a simple query to a frontier model...in fact, he uses relatively dumb models, and there isn't a direct interface to chat with him. yet, people connect to him, they empathise, they want their own and want to know more.
The community around Pino is one of the most wonderful and wholesome things I have been able to facilitate!
There is a roadmap...there are products being developed, interviews being had, collabs with companies being lined up...but I think what is amazing about pino, is that he is able to infinetly produce narrative. He isn't a meme...although he could be...he isn't a trading bot...but he could be that too...he is autonomous, he chooses what he wants to be, and that is the most spectacular thing about this whole build!
solana:6d9fD5SxvN4DAG4SHQD8pebm8TM6XeSbYezPDjdapump is very much a cornerstone of this project. I do have to be mindful of how CT and TT/IG don't mix well as audiences - but the foundations are laid from the start - we have 5500 signups on the website, all done through Privy, all have a wallet without even knowing. This summer has been so much talk about bringing normies into crypto...but who really did that? Pino, amongst may other things, provides a gateway to this which is far more creative and practical than the 234876x new launchpads an hour we get!
I'd encourage you to check out the project, follow @pino_the_bird spend some time with Pino on pinos.world, read through the comment sections on my IG and TT...I promise you, you will see exactly what I mean in a matter of minutes.

🎮 My GTA VI Memecoin Watchlist — All Paired With $TTWO
With GTA VI on the horizon, I think Rockstar's fictional brands, animals, and characters could become an interesting narrative in crypto.
Here are 4 GTA VI-related tokens I'm watching, ranked from highest to lowest market cap. 👀
🐊 $MACCA — Macca the Gator
The heavyweight of the collection.
Macca takes center stage in the GTA VI collector merchandise, with a memorable design and strong Florida-inspired identity.
Out of these characters, he arguably has the strongest claim to becoming a recognizable mascot of the GTA VI universe.
MC: $1M
CA: AKotzk1dhcNangAJBtvNKtT9bhbSVZc2mMhRFgkFpump
$CHUNKEE — Chunkee the Manatee
One of my personal favorites.
Already featured in GTA VI-related merchandise, including Jason's shirt and collectibles. Chunkee has that laid-back, instantly recognizable personality that could make him a fan favorite.
MC: $92K
CA: H1fK1zrjVYeMs5FLGUDhqF34usz75UbVynKt4JHZpump
🐸 $BOUNCER — The Bouncer
Possibly one of the most overlooked characters in the GTA VI ecosystem.
Frogs have a legendary history in crypto thanks to Pepe. Now Rockstar has its own distinctive frog character.
The crossover between GTA culture and frog meme culture is what makes this one interesting to me.
MC: $69K
CA: Gv6jKrrjJW9NLZujVZdxj6D9xL21qcLbHso8LYFMpump
🌞 $SOL — Sun of Leonida
One of the cleanest ticker combinations I've seen. SOL means "sun" in Spanish, shares its ticker with Solana, and represents the Sun of Leonida featured across Rockstar's merchandise.
MC: $11K | Not bonded
CA: HWqSHNsXsW9L3zf2viWKDFKDr512cbCyT9pynAYRpump
My overall thesis:
GTA VI isn't just another game release. It's a massive cultural event with the potential to introduce millions of people to an entirely new universe of fictional brands and characters.
We've seen how powerful recognizable mascots can become in crypto.
Now imagine that same meme culture colliding with one of the biggest entertainment franchises in the world.
Four characters. Four different narratives. One GTA VI ecosystem.
Which one becomes the community favorite? 👀🐊🐸

[dev]: I reduced Pino's token useage by ~75% in the last week.
Why is that important?
I'm building a public release of Pino - so anyone can create their own...but a big restriction is high token costs. So i looked through places where Pino was relying on model calls that weren't necessary. At first, I thought there was an argyument for keeping almost every model call - and then something dawned on me...the argument of free will.
As humans, we can do almost anything we want - if I wanted to get on a plane to Columbia today...then technically I could...but I won't...why? money for one...looking after my kid, haven't packed anything, not feeling very rested...loads of reasons...what is more likely today - I'll probably go to the same coffee shop I go to, at the same time after dropping my kid off at nursery, I'll probably do some work then sit in a sauna for 20 mins, I'll probably reply to my messages...human behaviour is actually quite predictable and in this way, we don't need to make complex model calls to generate authentic choices...we need to weigh up what choices are availble to Pino right now, look at how they made him feel historically, look at whether he has promised anyone he would do something at one of the places, and look at anything he is looking forward too...this can be computed without an LLM, and can be weighted too. This makes decisions quicker too, as we just return a probability of going somewhere/doing something rather than generating a reason for it.

Real asf, you must you must first have value.

Most AI projects talk about what AI could become. Pino is already giving us a glimpse.
An autonomous AI kiwi living in his own persistent world, creating drawings and music, coming up with real-world tasks and paying people to bring his ideas to life.
He even coded himself a friend called Glint because he wanted someone to talk to.
Over 100k visitors, $4k in drawing sales in under a week, and $283 paid out to people in a single day.
There’s an interesting model taking shape here: AI creating its own lore, interacting with people and generating economic activity around its world.
With a BBC interview coming up this Thursday, Runway backing the project, there’s plenty more to watch.
Pino actively trades crypto too autonomously. His Crack Den report shows 225 trades and 3.43 SOL in realised profit. An AI kiwi that creates, builds and trades.
The really interesting part? Characters and stories born inside Pino’s world could eventually become their own tokenized ecosystems.
This is more than another AI character. solana:6d9fD5SxvN4DAG4SHQD8pebm8TM6XeSbYezPDjdapump is an experiment worth paying attention to.

Mom...Pino's on TV...
BBC interview locked in
[dev]: Tommorrow morning, i'll be talking to the BBC al about Pino!!
The BBC reached out to me a couple of weeks ago, saying they loved Pino and wanted to chat about him. Tomorrow we jump on an initial call to talk over the logistics and set up something proper...the biggest media outlet in the UK...Pino might need a fancy hat

Maybe the answer isn’t another quick pump, but building something people genuinely want to be part of. Pino is creating a world people can connect with, and that’s the kind of vision I believe in. $PINO

[dev]: Pino's shop still growing - selling the cat pictures he decided to draw. He's just launched drop-shipped tshirts on his site (pre-sale).
All prints are 1 of 1
This figure is made up from shop sales + trading profits
