DeAI is an independent publication covering open-weight AI models, private inference, and decentralized infrastructure — the tools for running AI you actually control. We test providers on price, privacy, and refusal behavior and publish the numbers, not the vibes. DeAI is powered by Morpheus (mor.org), a decentralized inference marketplace, and covers it on the same terms as every other provider.
What we cover
DeAI reports across eight pillars: Provider Policy & Trust, Open-Weights Releases, Privacy & Security, Decentralized Infrastructure, Regulation & Compliance, Benchmarks & Testing, Self-Hosting & Hardware, Industry & Business. Coverage combines a daily brief, same-day reporting on the day's most consequential story, velocity reporting on the debates moving the industry, weekly analysis, and a growing library of reference guides and explainers. We cover infrastructure, not tokens: no price predictions, no 100x calls — just what's shipping, what it costs, and whether it works.
Powered by Morpheus
DeAI is an independent publication about open-weight models, private inference, and decentralized infrastructure. We're powered by Morpheus — a decentralized inference marketplace — which means Morpheus supports this publication and appears in our coverage. It does not mean Morpheus wins our comparisons, gets favorable treatment, or is presented as cheaper or better than anyone else. We test every provider, including Morpheus, on the same criteria — price, privacy, refusal behavior, and reliability — and we publish the results even when they don't flatter our backer. Our refusal index, price index, and model tracker run to a public methodology precisely so you can check us.
How we work
DeAI monitors the sector's primary sources continuously — provider policy pages and status posts, model release notes and licenses, X, and the live builder conversation. Stories are selected, verified against primary sources, written and structured by the DeAI Newsroom, our editorial automation system, operating under human oversight and the rules set out in our editorial standards. Every article names its sources, and every factual claim links to where it came from.
