The landscape has changed, and will continue to.
What remains important is our ability to adapt, conquer, and overcome.
More on this soon.
Dot.
I truly believe that soon, closed-source labs such as OpenAI and Anthropic, will limit the level of intelligence they bring forward to the public. Not through choice, but through governmental regulation.
These same labs will then continue to develop their intelligence, with the purpose of distributing it to governments and corporations ready to pay big money.
Can you imagine the imbalance of power that could arise if every institution, government and major player has access to intelligence that you cannot touch?
We have already seen the monumental impact of AI in its relatively short existence. Now 10x that, and imagine that you cannot access it, but others can.
The competitive advantage is going to be astronomical, and this is exactly why open source is so deeply important to us, and why Dot continues to be not only a business to us, but our life’s mission.
The landscape will evolve, we must ensure that Dot continues to evolve faster.
Particle-1 (the most cost effective Model on our platform) just landed on Dot Chat, Agent Chat and DotCode, with a zero training contract in place and priced 10% below OpenRouter.
𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚒𝚌𝚕𝚎/𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚒𝚌𝚕𝚎-𝟷
Private inference, and zero training & retention of prompts and responses. Built for fixing bugs, shipping apps and tackling big codebases with 1M context and training focused on getting the job done with fewer tokens.

With just six days until the DotDesktop release, we're bringing Dot closer to the frontier than ever before.
Our internal benchmarks show DotDesktop delivering up to 10× the capability of DotCode. DotDesktop is bringing the kind of advanced agentic experience typically associated with billion-dollar AI companies into Dot's privacy-first ecosystem.
One prompt built this interactive 3D keyboard configurator. Dot wrote the code, ran the project, tested the controls and reviewed the result using Dot Computer Use.
Your Dot API key. Your choice of models. A desktop agent that can work across your applications, operate its environment, and carry complex workflows from idea to execution, all within Dot's privacy ecosystem.
This is where we’re taking private AI.
T-Minus 6 days.
DotHenge is seeing incredible early traction, and we've just deployed some significant upgrades to take its capabilities even further.
These include:
- Better character consistency across cuts
- Better handling of multiple reference images
- More natural movement
- Better prompt adherence
- Clearer generation progress

More updates coming soon.
Our weekly inference usage has surged 38.86% in just seven days.
Between October 12–18 and October 19–25, we recorded a substantial acceleration in inference demand across our infrastructure.
- 5.86 billion tokens processed, up from 4.22 billion
- +1.64 billion additional tokens processed week-on-week
- +38.86% growth in total inference usage
- 837 million average daily tokens, up from 603 million
- 25.1 billion tokens in projected 30-day usage, based on our latest weekly run rate
This acceleration is being driven in part by our latest enterprise deployments, which are bringing increasingly substantial workloads onto Dot's inference infrastructure, alongside significant demand for Dot Motion following its recent launch.
Together, these developments are expanding our inference footprint across both enterprise and consumer applications, demonstrating the growing demand for private, cost-efficient AI infrastructure as we continue to diversify the workloads and revenue opportunities supported by Dot.

We’ve been punching well above our weight since Dot’s inception, and DotHenge is no exception.
Despite only boasting 3 engineers, the Dot team is coming for those mainstream AI video providers with 100+ engineers, and we’re putting our work directly against theirs to prove it.
DotHenge vs. Higgsfield’s Genjutsu.
Same source video, same character reference. Two very different results.
Henge delivers a more realistic output, with stronger preservation of background composition, more consistent lighting, and more natural color reproduction.
We’re not interested in simply matching the capabilities of established providers, we are looking to surpass them.
DotHenge. Coming soon.
13.34% of the total $DOT supply is now staked, equating to approximately $1,195,598.
A growing share of the circulating supply is being committed to our ecosystem, strengthening long-term alignment and reinforcing confidence in Dot's future.
As we continue expanding across private inference, agentic infrastructure, and our upcoming GPU marketplace, we look to steadily increase our APY's, ensuring rewards grow alongside the ecosystem and the users supporting it.

The AI video generation space is being run by companies who add extraordinary mark-ups, just to route commonly accessible models to you.
Higgsfield, Runway, and fal.ai are driving up the cost of access to widely available models, packaging inflated markups in polished marketing to make them seem justified.
At Dot, we believe in decentralized, democratized access to intelligence that is fairly priced and delivered through privacy-first infrastructure.
Introducing DotHenge, a private, AI video provider that undercuts the pricing of all mainstream AI video providers by almost 60%, whilst retaining 0% of your data.
Simply integrate our API, and stop overpaying.
It's time to make the switch. Coming Monday.
We've added Mercury 3 to Dot Council, significantly elevating it's position without our ecosystem.
Dot Council now boasts a new high-speed model, proficient at coding, working through massive documents, and exploring ideas without breaking your flow.
Its diffusion-based architecture generates and refines tokens in parallel, bringing a different approach to inference with speed at its core.
We're pairing that capability with aggressive pricing - 55% below regular token rates with USDC, and nearly 60% lower with $DOT.

MiniMax M3.1 Flash: Space Performance + Bunny Speed
🚀🐰 Yes, Space Bunny - which has topped global leaderboards with 200T+ tokens - was an earlier version of M3.1 Flash.
💰Redefining the performance economics of agentic AI. M3.1 Flash achieves frontier-level intelligence across key tasks such as Cowork (Automation-Bench: 62%; ALE: 30%), Coding (DeepSWE: 74%) and Visual Reasoning (BabyVision: 91%), at 1/3 the cost of M3 and 3x the speed.
API pricing (flat rate): $0.15 / $0.60 per 1M input/output tokens, with cache reads at $0.015 / 1M tokens.

Following the latest PHP and Node.js security advisories, we conducted a review of our live infrastructure, access history, and more than 4,000 deployed files.
The result was exactly what we expected - zero compromise across the board.
This is because our services operate within strict privilege boundaries, boasting dedicated unprivileged accounts, restricted filesystems, isolated temporary storage, and enforced access controls. This ensures that no service receives unrestricted access simply because it belongs to us.
Private AI, in its most fundamental state, requires securing the entire infrastructure underneath it.
At Dot, we're building that infrastructure.
Dot Motion is now live.
Dot Motion is our unique, native, orchestration layer that turns your prompts into stunning videos.
We're tired of AI labs gatekeeping the tools behind their generations. So we're putting that power directly into your hands, ourselves.
We aim to improve, upgrade and refine Dot Motion over the following weeks, ensuring it consistently provides the very best results for our users.

AI labs are racing into motion, yet a fundamental problem exists. Every lab shows you what they are creating, but they do not show you how they are creating it.
At Dot, we have built the orchestration layer that these AI labs hide from you. Allow multiple models to collaborate, from direction and code generation to review and repair.
Attached Video:
