Another Foundry just wrapped up, this time in Shanghai 🇨🇳 21 teams joined us in Shanghai for a week of building and pitching at @themu_xyz Here's a recap 👇

oh my god its happening @MistralAI has officially confirmed the upcoming release of Le Chaton Fat - 30T MoE with 256 experts - 1M context window - multimodal and multilingual - outperforms Fable 5 on every benchmark

My conversation with @KeoneHon. As the Cofounder of Monad, Keone is relentlessly focused on building a credibly neutral foundation for developers, actively resisting the crypto Twitter pressure to verticalize for short-term revenue. He and his team are doing the hard, ground-up engineering required to eliminate the technical debt of the EVM. We spend a lot of time unpacking the specific breakthroughs enabling Monad's performance, from fundamentally re-architecting storage trees with MIP-8 to the massive, often-overlooked importance of optimizing the read layer. At the center of it is a belief that true scaling requires turning the dial on both higher performance and cheaper hardware requirements to maximize throughput per unit of compute. We discuss: - Why building a robust ecosystem is more important than verticalizing for Day 1 revenue - Hyperliquid, Appchains, and the true value of a credibly neutral base layer -MIP-8, re-architecting storage trees, and unlocking massive EVM performance upgrades - The unsung importance of the "Read Layer" and making RPCs developer-friendly - Multiple Concurrent Leaders (MCP) and mitigating the impact of MEV - Why "stablecoin-only" chains will inevitably have to pivot to general-purpose DeFi Enjoy!

Oh hey, did you know we've got 4 IRL community events across APAC last week?

USD1 use cases, continued: → First @Morpho vault, live → First DeFi presence on @Monad → Curated by @SteakhouseFi → Built by @reservoir_xyz. That's a lot of firsts. 🦅☝️
