AI + Bitcoin = Freedom?
Let's try.
1/6 We are pleased to announce that we’ve raised $500K in funding—led by @initialcapital and @FulgurVentures— to harness the ₿eauty of magical internet money in lowering the barrier of entry to premium AI. 🚀

We've got internal access to this model and its FIREEEEEE.
We're told we'll be able to roll this out to users in a matter of a week or so. 🤞🤞🤞
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 runs at 1,521+ tok/s on Fireworks Ultrafast.
Fast enough to ship Tetris in 11 seconds, 7x faster than Claude Opus 5.5.

New on PayPerQ: PII Redaction.
Names, emails, and IDs are stripped from your prompt before it reaches the big AI providers, then restored in the answer.
All inside a secure enclave neither PPQ nor our PII provider @TinfoilAI can see into.
Live free!

I really miss @Boltzhq and what they were building. I think it was a really great piece of infra that was going to be exponentially built upon in the coming years.
Bitcoin needs you Boltz! Please come back!

This story shows how hilariously broken online identity verification is from all relevant angles.
1. Your SSN, DOB, address history, etc. are sitting in countless data breaches and data-broker dumps. They’re cheap and widely available to basically anyone who looks.
2. KYC/AML mostly just checks that the data exists and matches a real person. It doesn’t confirm the person signing up is actually the real person behind that identity.
Result: Amanda Smith spent three nights in jail and now faces up to six years in prison over a $1,000 CashApp scam account opened with her SSN and DOB. It wasn't necessarily opened by her, and the phone, IP, device, address, and other details don’t match.
The funniest (and yes, saddest) part is CashApp wouldn't give her information about the account because she can’t prove she’s the owner. Her personal info was good enough to open the account, but not good enough to access it in the future, apparently. To be clear, CashApp is likely just following the law here.
Anyway, we need to burn it all down and start fresh.
New: someone made a CashApp account in her name. She spent 3 nights in jail and now faces up to 6 years in prison
Amanda Smith was arrested because a scam led to a CashApp account in her name. But she says she didn't make it, and the data doesn't line up 404media.co/amanda-smith-ope…
Kraken (@krakenfx) offers APY on your Bitcoin and they call it their "Vault"
It's actually less safe than just using their regular account:
"Kraken's Vault actually uses wrapped Bitcoin, decentralized lending protocols, borrowed stablecoins, and leverage to generate yield."

Google's image and video models are 95% off on PPQ for the next couple of weeks.
Nano Banana 2.1, Nano Banana Pro, Veo 3.1, Veo 3.1 Fast and Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash. A Veo clip for about 2 cents, an image for a fraction of one.
Pay-per-use, no subscription!
PS: Yes, it's real!
🤖 Made with AI
Attacks within the Bitcoin ecosystem were the canary in the coal mine for this phenomenon because the reward was hard, fungible money.
AI companies next, traditional companies thereafter.
Eventually big AI will learn that this isn't the right approach.

Argon 4 has arrived at PPQ. and we're slashing the price heavily:
75% off of the list price (50% off the price that even Openrouter charges)
$1 input and $5 output per 1M tokens
While supplies last! Go nuts!
Gemini 4 Argon is now GA. Argon ranks equal to GPT-6 Astra on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index at 60% of the Cost per Task with discounted prices until Nov 30
Key takeaways:
- Google is back to having a frontier model released to the public: This is Google's first proprietary model above the Flash class in over 7 months
- Pricing temporarily discounted to 50% until November 30: Gemini 4 Argon has a Cost per Task of $1.99 with discounted prices, a ~40% reduction compared to GPT-6 Astra (max) for a comparable level of Intelligence. It is currently priced at $2/$10 per 1M input/output tokens with a 95% discount for cache reads (up from 90% from previous Gemini models). Prices will increase to $4/$20 after November 30
- Large improvements in agentic performance: Gemini 4 Argon shows substantial improvements in agentic evaluations such as AA-Briefcase, AutomationBench-AA, Terminal Bench 4. This is an area in which Google's models have historically underperformed compared to leading peers
Lowest hallucination rate among leading models: On AA-Omniscience, Gemini 4 Argon has a 15% hallucination rate, the lowest of any model scoring 45+ on the Intelligence Index

Introducing the PPQ Enclave Router.
Every chat through PPQ now runs in an AWS Nitro enclave that PROVES:
1) PPQ cannot read the content of your queries
2) PPQ sent your query to the model and provider you chose. No model fraud.
No more promises. Only provable guarantees. 🧵
Months of work culminating here for serious privacy improvements at PPQ.AI.
Routing through enclaves raises the bar for the industry and will become the standard in the future. Please take a look at what we believe is a pretty novel implementation.
I'm tired of my AI writing to customer service messages in a sycophantic style that I do not personally use.
Has anyone run across a quick and easy tool that I can feed a large corpus of my writing into, so that the AI writes future messages the way that I would write?

Gentle reminder that Hugging Face was declined help from Anthropic & OpenAI models when they were being hacked by OpenAI models
Self-hosted GLM 5.2 helped them protect themselves when the closed labs models refused to help for "safety" reasons lol
Also, thank you Anthropic for proving my point that Opensource AI continues to catch up to your overvalued & overpriced "frontier"
GLM 5.3 is close to as cyber capable as Mythos Preview. Open weight models still just 4-6 months behind.

The big labs are mad that they don’t have a monopoly on cyber.
Last month we went viral for releasing GLM-5.3 with customer-controlled guardrails. While the big labs gatekept the technology, we made it widely available to the industry, attracting customers from startups to Fortune 500 companies. All cited that the labs' centralized guardrails stopped them from doing their job, even when they had access to special “cyber” programs.
We’re building this product for you, so that you can define your guardrails - no more black boxes.
Here it is. Anthropic begins its quest to kneecap, regulate, and kill open weight models.
To be clear, we @PPQdotAI have used both Kimi K3 and GLM 5.3 to bolster our cyber defenses because Anthropic models REFUSED to help us.

Opus 5.5 (released 1 hour ago) is so outdated, everyone is using GPT6.0 Sol (releases 5 minutes ago) and you’ll be part of the permanent underclass if you haven’t already pivoted by the time you’re reading this tweet.

The new @typesafeai Jev decision model is available on PPQ, both in the web app and the API. The web app is more of an introduction and exhibition. Most users will find use cases involving the API version:

Shoutout to @nlw for his @AIDailyBrief podcast. Been a long time listener and very much enjoy it. @nlw does a really great job synthesizing all of the new stuff that comes along and is doing exactly the job that he is meant for!

PPQ was a leading indicator on this trend. I guess our users are smarter than the rest of the pack? 😉
