[New Pod] Open Source AI & Confidential Compute w/ Anthony & @Mark - Co-founders, @OpenSecret
Anthony & Marks were in town for LLamaCon so we got to jam! We discussed a variety of topics including:
- The state of Llama, DeepSeek, and Open Source AI
- Dario’s take “On DeepSeek and Export Controls” .jpg)
- Data Quality is key - Garbage In, Garbage Out (speculation: Facebook data not nearly as valuable as Twitter or Reddit?)
- Trend of companies not using proprietary models to protect data privacy
- AI Alignment towards truth: how to ensure LLMs show real chain of thought
- The model host matters most - open source models get filtered in dramatically different ways depending on hosting and system prompts
- The value of open source models in preventing brainwashing/mind control
- Learnings from Mutiny that led to Open Secret
- Confidential Computing Explained
- Secure Enclaves moving from the iPhone to the cloud
- OpenSecret is like Apple’s private cloud compute but open source, verifiable, and anyone can use it
- How to craft better prompts (meta-prompting) to get the most out of AI
- How @OpenSecret and @Maple verify that a chat is private. Enclaves as the next upgrade of HTTPS 
- Using AI to audit code
- Secure enclaves as an ingredient for autonomous digital life
- o1 isn’t a chat model (and that’s the point)

I’ve been sitting on it for a month, but this conversation with @franzap is more relevant now than ever!

As vibe coding enables the creation of orders of magnitude more apps and media, the question becomes: how do I sort through this embarrassment of riches to find what I actually need? One option is to trust centralized entities like companies or governments. Franzap, however, has another idea. Using Nostr’s global identity, data commons, and micropayments, he’s designing a new kind of app store powered by a decentralized web of trust. I hope you enjoy! Here are a few topics we discuss:
- Fran’s vision for an open, permissionless alternative to Apple and Android app stores
- How Zapstore could help fund open source development
- Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) have limited path to adoption
- Is it time to build an App Store for AI agents to use?! An open MCP registry could be a good starting point
- IA (Intelligence Amplification) vs. AI (Artificial Intelligence)
- The future of AI and app development
- Why a decentralized Web of Trust matters in sorting information, apps, accounts and anything else
- How to build and use a decentralized Web of Trust
Building a Decentralized App Store and Web of Trust with Franzap

[100k SAT BOUNTY]
This is an experiment! I'm going to a hackathon this Saturday and I'd like to showcase to a new community the power of nostr and lightning zaps. I have 2 ideas that I would like to prototype (I'm currently vibe coding them but unlikely I'll have them totally ironed out before then). I will pay a bounty of100,000 sats each via zap (so a total of 200k sats up for grabs) for a live working web version + code/prompts for each of these ideas. I will choose the best project for each category at my discretion (and will only choose one if I think it's complete enough to showcase). I am (of course) also happy to list you on the team and give you credit for building. I just want to sweeten the pot and get this done BEFORE SATURDAY MORNING AT 9AM PT.
Here's what I'd like to build:
1) Memstr
A meme generator with nostr login and zaps. You include 5 or so popular meme templates (guy looking at girl, winnie the pooh, etc) and allow anyone to enter their own text. They're then able to share theire memes via popular nostr relays and other users are able to zap their favorite memes. A leaderboard shows the most popular memes by global zaps and by the zaps of your follows. (I'm also open to using other WoT calcs but I assume that's too complex.) You should be able to login via a browser extension like alby, paste a priv key, or spin up a new nostr identity.
2) Nostr Radio
A clone of 
with nostr login, zaps, and a zap leaderboard. Allow anyone to login to the site via browser extension like alby, priv key, or spin up a new identity. Users can zap and share radio stations they like via popular nostr relays. Users can also zap their friends for sharing radio stations they like. There should be a leaderboard tab showing popular stations (global) and from the zaps of your friends. Again, I'm open to other WoT scores as well, but not necessary as that adds complexity.
If you're interested in working on either of these, please feel free to reply to this note with questions (for whatever is not clear) or ideas. Again, I'll only choose at most one project for each bounty and only if it's fully functional and ready before Saturday at 9am PT. If nothing's ready by then or this proves to be too difficult, no sweat! Also, I'm trying to gauge how difficult/how much work this is for someone who knows what they're doing. If the pot is not rich enough, I'd like that feedback too. Thank you!
I'd appreciate any help getting visibility for this experiment 🙏 @metamick @HaloKat @Alby @bumi @Roland @Moritz @René Aaron @David King @moneyball @miljan @Lyn Alden @vibegawd @danny d @Gigi @PABLOF7z @franzap @Stuart Bowman @elsat @AtlantisPleb @Jordi @brugeman @bob @gudnuf @miles 🌞 @Prashanth @plebdevs.com @Cameri🐦🔥
