This Week on Filecoin: Infra, Local Models & Developer Tools [July 21–28] Storage providers now power compute, new models went local, and dev tools saw fresh updates. Here's what stood out this week: 1⃣ Filecoin Storage Providers Now Power Compute Over 1,500 machines in the Filecoin network support GPU workloads through @ionet. They handle AI training, inference, and large-scale data pipelines. A new infographic breaks down how this shared system works. 🔗 Explore 2⃣ Q1 Recap: Demand, Clients, and Upgrades A detailed Q1 review highlights paid client activity, incentive shifts, and live protocol updates. The report lays out the current state of adoption and what may come next. 🔗 Read more 3⃣ Machine Data Panel with DSA, IoTeX & More @_DSAlliance hosted a session on how machines generate and use data. Speakers from Filecoin, @iotex_io, @DIMO_Network, and @WeatherXM covered storage, usage, and exchange systems already in place. 🔗 Event thread 4⃣ Filecoin & USDFC at Modular Worlds 24 teams at PL_Genesis used Filecoin and USDFC to build working protocols, ranging from on-chain reimbursements to dataset access and machine-triggered payments. 🔗 Hackathon recap 5⃣ Lighthouse SDK v0.1.5 Now Live @LighthouseWeb3 released a Python SDK update. It adds IPNS support, storage improvements, and endpoints for file info and key management. 🔗 Update post 6⃣ TitanNet Browser Plugin Leaves Beta @Titannet_dao launched a Chrome extension that pays users for unused IP addresses. No login or setup required. The plugin is now available to the public. 🔗 View 7⃣ Bagel Labs at ICML Highlights Filecoin @bagelopenai presented at ICML and spoke with teams building distributed machine learning systems. Filecoin supports global data access and coordination for these workflows. 🔗 ICML recap 8⃣ Builder Program Applications Still Open @FILBuilders and @_FilOz are still accepting teams for the Early Builder Program. Accepted teams receive funding, engineering support, and event visibility. 🔗 Apply 9⃣ Code n’ Corgi in Jos Developers in Jos gathered to explore how Filecoin works, what breaks, and what can be improved. The workshop helped onboard new contributors through hands-on learning. 🔗 Details 🔟 FIL Dev Summit 7 Announced FIL Dev Summit returns on November 13–15 in Buenos Aires. The event will focus on prototyping and collaboration across the Filecoin stack. 🔗 Event info 1⃣1⃣ New Local AI Models Stored on Filecoin @EternalAI_ preserved two new models: Dolphin3.0-Llama3.1-8B and Qwen3-235B-A22B-Instruct-2507. Both models run offline, support local inference, and now live on decentralized storage. 🔗 Model 1 🔗 Model 2 Follow @Filecoin for more updates from developers, infra teams, and projects building across the network.
