Episode 67 - Local Models, Private Agents & Wingman - Feat. Anthony

This week we were joined by Anthony - an independent researcher who left the corporate world in 2024 to work in Bitcoin full time. He’s also an alumni of Chaincode’s 2025 ₿OSS program and holds a PhD in computer science from the University of South Australia.

We dug into the shift toward local AI models and what that means for privacy, sovereignty and the future of AI adoption, and why open-weight models are now capable enough for everyday knowledge work.

We also explored why the next phase of AI will be defined by the orchestration layer that coordinates intelligence, rather than the models themselves, and how we're using Wingman in this way to run our business and help other SME's do the same.
