New to @ArweaveEco and @aoTheComputer?

Here's what we are about:

1️⃣ Arweave is the permanent substrate for a new, decentralized cyberspace.
2️⃣ It is onchain data at any scale. >25 billion pieces of data and counting.
3️⃣ AO is a decentralized supercomputer built on that foundation.
4️⃣ It offers smart contracts that run as parallel processes each with their own throughput, but a universal communication layer: Arweave.
5️⃣ AO goes much deeper than just smart contracts, though. The AO-Core protocol can turn every service you use in cyberspace into a graph of enmeshed micro-blockchains. Down to every single individual HTTP packet nodes transfer. Authenticated, verifiable, and attestable.
6️⃣ It is unhelpfully novel. It is genuinely so different to existing networks that there are no narratives that capture the ideas. High bar to entry now, but when it clicks, you will see something that crowd has not yet realized.
7️⃣ Arweave is a stable, mature protocol. Mainnet has been live since 2018, serving more use cases than we can keep track of. It has been deflationary from real usage alone almost every month since the start of '25.
8️⃣ AO is a completely different beast. It is early, half-hatched, janky and will take time. It is an enormous project but the vision is getting closer every single day. If you are looking for 'just another L2/X but Y' it is not for you. We are gunning for a deeper prize: A permanent computer for humanity, capable of consuming the internet itself.
9️⃣ $AR is 99.4% circulating already.
πŸ”Ÿ AO minting is early: Distributed 1/3 to AR holders and 2/3 to pre-bridgers of yield-baring assets from other networks. 21m cap, 4 year halving, 0% pre-mine.

That's the sitrep. Glad you found us 🫑

ArLMDB unlocked using Arweave as a decentralized database engine that streams content only as you need it. Today those databases gained realtime update properties, too.

Same verification, but with updates that take effect instantly. Read more πŸ‘‡

AO devices are like DePIN lego bricks.
Arweave is their decentralized ledger.

AO standardizes services.

Each device is a reusable capability that any node can host, route, and build with.

Infrastructure stops being a centralized dependency and becomes part of a verifiable network anyone can access.

Have been porting this to run agents as @aoTheComputer processes directly on phones with the (unreleased, yet) PermawebOS Android build.

Still slow so far but its pretty amazing to have a software TEE-ish trust-minimized agent executing in your pocket.

The base model is supposed to be ~Opus 4.5/4.6 level and the Bonsai quantization apparently retains most of capability. Big if true -- has anyone tried it?

Today, we’re announcing Ternary Bonsai 2 27B.

Based on Qwen3.8 27B, Bonsai 2 27B is 9x smaller than its full-precision counterpart while retaining 98.2% of its aggregate benchmark performance.

Two months after the first Bonsai 27B release, the biggest change is quality. The footprint remains 5.9 GB, but the gap to full precision has narrowed materially, with particularly strong gains in agentic coding, multimodal reasoning, and long-horizon tool use.

Ternary Bonsai 2 27B is available today under Apache 2.0.
