**Building tokenstats: A sovereign inference market observability layer**
Context:
Even with a solid home lab, I still burst to @routstrai and external providers for frontier models, long context, or when mobile.
Pricing is volatile, fragmented, and hard to track in real time. Existing tools are either static or miss the permissionless Nostr/Routstr layer I actually prefer and use.
I want better data for my routing decisions in arbstr (arbstr.com) and for future agents.
Action:
I’m building tokenstats: live observability + a lightweight oracle for inference costs (input/output in sats), latency, and node health.
Rust core, Nostr listener for Routstr announcements, provider polling, simple Axum dashboard, and @getpubky -based attested snapshots on the roadmap.
Result (the goal):
- Real-time market awareness that feeds directly into arbstr
- Reusable components for sovereign data systems
- Public proof of building real-time observability in the permissionless AI space
I'm treating this as a focused learning project following up from my recent launch of @oddlympics .
I'll post regular updates on progress, problems, and lessons.
What metrics would you want in a live inference pricing dashboard?
Especially if you run hybrid local + Routstr setups?

Maple Work is here: a private AI agent for your computer.
Give it a task. It reads your files, uses your apps and gets it done, on the latest open models.
Using powerful AI shouldn't mean lowering your security standards. Welcome to the open frontier.

From Trezor's website:
"We bleed security, so do our devices. We take every measure to eliminate any space for unauthorized activities within our wallets. Once a Trezor is in your hands, the torch of responsibility is passed to you, ensuring the ongoing security of your wallet."
I guess its a good thing they put stickers on them? 🤔

Never, ever think that a state-wide popular vote means anything at all.
Remember that when the Left says "we have a majority."

Update: the four 100G cables are covered. Thank you @jturner for buying them off the lab wishlist!
What's still needed for my new open source AI lab is a Thunderbolt 5 PCIe box and a Thunderbolt 5 NVMe enclosure. The box is so the ConnectX-5 isn't stuck at Thunderbolt 3 speed.
If you want to help, it's on joshuawarren.com/sponsors

Just passed 10,000 followers. Thank you.
You shouldn't need a $15K rig to run a serious local AI model. I want everyone running the most powerful model their budget allows, starting with the hardware they already own.
This week:
- A 2021 M1 Max got 25-29% faster GPU decode on nagement fix
- GPT-OSS 120B on a laptop plus an RTX 5060 Ti eGPU, 25 tok/s
- Qwen3.8 Flash Next at 89 tok/s on a DGX Spark
- Omarchy on a Mac mini M6, first GPU llama.cpp run included
My AI hardware has outgrown my home office, as you can see! I'm turning our spare room into an AI lab. Every machine I can test becomes a budget tier I can show you how to use.
The lab still needs two 100G cables and a Thunderbolt 5 PCIe box so the ConnectX-5 isn't stuck at Thunderbolt 3 speed. If you want to help, sponsor me or send hardware: joshuawarren.com/sponsors
I'll post what arrives and what it unlocks. And as always, all of my work is open source, on my GitHub.

Nobody’s denying that you’re human or that you shouldn’t have the same rights as every other human. What you aren’t entitled to is everyone else’s agreement that you are what you claim to be, compliance with your quasi-religious views or the removal of women’s sex-based rights.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Gutenberg printing press puts scribes out of work - new documents found
"Brothers of the scriptorium, hear me!
This devilish contraption of Johannes Gutenberg’s steals our sacred labor! For generations we have poured our souls into every stroke of the quill, f, every carefully ruled line. Now his infernal press takes our manuscripts, chews them up, and spits out hundreds of soulless copies without consent, without payment, without even asking the guild. It is pure theft of the human spirit.
Our livelihoods are finished. Apprentices who spent a decade mastering the art of vermilion and lapis will be cast into the streets. Why hire a living illuminator when a machine can vomit out pages by the score? The work has no soul. You can feel the difference - cold metal letters instead of the warmth of a human hand guided by prayer and skill. True art is dying.
Worse, this flood of cheap books will drown the world in error, heresy, and vulgar nonsense. Any fool with a press can now spread false teachings, lewd tales, and half-understood philosophy to the unlettered masses. Knowledge that once belonged properly to the Church and the learned few will be debased. Children will grow up reading garbage instead of the true Word. The social fabric itself is at risk.
We must pause this madness. The guilds must regulate every press into the ground. Better yet, ban the movable type entirely before it extinguishes authentic human creativity forever. The future of civilization hangs in the balance. If we do not act now, there will be nothing left worth copying."

We should use this talking point to win the illegal immigrant vote
EXCLUSIVE: We spent weeks in Napa Valley investigating Gavin Newsom's wine empire. According to a whistleblower, the operation is built on undocumented migrant labor, in violation of the law.
Illegal aliens pick the grapes—and Newsom sells the wine for up to $7,000 a bottle.

We definitely need to put a stop to publicly funded universities.
This is crazy...taxpayer money goes to these "schools" and in return those taxpayers are insulted and called "trash" or worse.
@UMich keep it up...voters are going to love this!

This company's been around a long time.
Big budget. Big teams. Passed audits.
Still think your hardware wallet is secure?
Oh, right, that podcaster you like promised it is.

Google DeepMind says it has mathematically proven key security properties of the machine code behind Signal. Not the design on paper. The compiled code.
DeepMind's Pushmeet Kohli calls it the first time the production code of a widely deployed protocol has been formally d, with or without AI," and at this depth.
• The proofs cover Signal's post-quantum PQXDH handshake and the Triple Ratchet
• Properties proven: forward secrecy, authentication, post-compromise security and handshake secrecy
• AI agents wrote the Lean proofs
• Human experts reviewed every specification before any proof ran
Formal verification is extremely complex and time consuming, which is why most software never gets it. DeepMind's pitch is that AI can change that.
If that holds, the bar for privacy tools moves. Proof instead of promises.

This is why folks must always verify, never trust. No matter who they are, what their website says, or audits they claim to have passed.
Designing, managing, and running a Certificate Authority and/or PKI is hard.
Always be very careful of any company selling it to you. Especially if you've never done it yourself.
Evidence? The folks running eMudhra's CA thought it was totally OK to disable FIPS, export private keys to a script, munge them around, then try to import them.

Today, November 10, is the 51st anniversary of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
29 lives lost.
I remember like it was yesterday. 1975.
We lived in Dearborn, MI, and had several relatives and family friends who worked at Zug Island, the Fitzgerald's destination to unload the ore it was carrying.
My dad and I were outside the day after, raking leaves, when my mom came to the door and called us in.
It was plastered all over the TV and radio, and was top news for days after.
This was pre-internet, pre-cable, pre-cellular. All we had was land line phones, AM/FM radio and broadcast TV.

Project Glasswing update from @VulnCheckAI
Overwhelming PR, underwhelming results.
“442 CVEs attributable to Anthropic, roughly 0.5% of all CVEs published this year, with only two identified as exploited in the wild. Of Anthropic’s 37,966 reported findings, only 7,349 (19.4%) have been made public and just 217 have been marked fixed.”
