Block's @RagavanThurair says Jack Dorsey still operates like a startup founder, personally diving into AI model architecture and pushing his team to "build the crazy thing":
"@jack takes huge risks, and he's quite visionary. We work directly with him."
"He still has this founder attitude of, we should build the crazy thing, we shouldn’t shy away from it, we should take more risks."
"I don't know how he manages all of this stuff, cause Block is a big company. And still he has time to literally deep dive into the architecture of the model with us."

update in app store review that will fix performance issues for very large crowds and a bunch of other things.
What's New in bitchat 1.8.0:
- Busy location channels are fast again. The people list opens instantly even with hundreds of people nearby, and the chat no longer jumps back while you scroll through a fast conversation.
- Your drafts are kept when you switch between mesh, location channels and private chats.
- Join a nearby location channel with one tap, and share channel invites from the share sheet.
- Give someone a local alias on their fingerprint screen. Verified contacts now show a seal in private chats.
- A recent chats section keeps every private conversation within reach.
- A banner tells you when Bluetooth is off or Tor is stalled.
- Panic wipe now asks for confirmation and tells you when it's done.
- On Mac, scan verification QR codes with the camera. @-mention suggestions now work from the keyboard.
- Messages from someone who shares your name are no longer treated as your own.
- Security hardening and fixes throughout, and the app is now fully localized in all 30 supported languages.
🇫🇷 Hier bitchat était n°1 des réseaux sociaux sur l'App Store en France...
Aujourd'hui c'est n°1 de TOUTES les applis gratuites !!
Là ce n'est plus une niche des milliers de Français installent une messagerie qui marche sans internet, sans numéro et sans serveur, la semaine même où on parle de couper les réseaux sociaux 😉

We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence.

It was post-trained by a team of 5 for ~$300k all-in. Available on API now, with weights releasing in 2 weeks.

We're introducing hybrid compute for all users of the Perplexity Mac app.
This will allow Computer to orchestrate local models that can run locally on Mac, particularly for agent steps involving sensitive and private files (eg your bloodwork, tax returns, litigation, etc).

We’ve seen a lot of engagement in Buzz and Berd. Two platforms on how intelligence is changing the way teams across Block collaborate, build, and ship.
In a special edition of On The Block, our Head of IR, @emcross23, sits down with the engineers and designers who brought both concepts to life:
- @bradleyaxen, AI Lead, Buzz Block
- @morganmartn, Design Lead, Block
- @tlongwell_bzz, Lead Engineer, Buzz
- @wesbillman, AI Tech Lead and co-creator of Buzz

THE ANNOUNCEMENT: We’re going to make the prophecy of The Year of Linux on the Desktop come true. All the pieces are now in place. Time to go all in! omarchy.org/news/2026/08/oma…

Block just open sourced Berd, the desktop app its teams use internally to work with AI agents across projects, skills, tools, and models.
"We had access to increasingly capable agents through tools such as Goose, Claude Code, and Codex, but working with them meant navigating different interfaces, configuration systems, and ways of managing context. The technology was powerful, but the experience around it was fragmented."
Berd brings conversations, files, instructions, agents, and skills together in one place with persistent projects. Built on top of Goose, the open source agent framework Block contributed to the Agentic AI Foundation under the Linux Foundation.
Berd connects to Goose through the Agent Client Protocol, handling the desktop experience while Goose runs the underlying agent loop.
@blocks also recently released Buzz, a separate open source workspace for collaborative agent work. Berd is where you start alone. Buzz is where you go multiplayer.
