Brief

0xSero (post dated 2026-08-06) offers a tightly curated roster of roughly 30 AI accounts to follow, combining personal endorsements, technical callouts, and community builders. The thread singles out mentors and partners (MilksandMatcha, alexocheema), hardware and rig builders (Hikari07jp “owns 6000s,” MikeBradleyAI built the author’s rig, alecqfong posts from a DGX Station), and technical contributors (_cpatonn on AWQ quantisations, UnslothAI on 2-bit quantisation, Teknium for Hermes agent/low-refusal models). 0xSero repeatedly praises open-source/local-AI players—NaderLikeLadder, badlogicgames (Pi.dev harness), steipete, mervenoyann, Baseten—and makes unambiguous claims such as “Truffles will change the world.” The post is both a practical follow-list and a manifesto for surrounding yourself with active contributors to local and open AI.

Why it matters

On 2026-08-06, 0xSero published a curated list of about 30 AI accounts to follow, naming specific people like MilksandMatcha (called “my mentor”), alexocheema (partner in Local AI), and JensenHuang (credited as “the goat” for compute advances).

Key details

  • _cpatonn is highlighted for AWQ quantisations, UnslothAI is praised for pushing 2-bit quantisation “to its limit,” and Teknium is credited with contributing the Hermes agent and training low-refusal models.
  • Hardware and rig-building endorsements: Hikari_07_jp is noted as an “amazing dev” who “owns 6000s,” MikeBradleyAI built the author’s latest AI rig and documented components/costs, and alecqfong is singled out as sharing content from a DGX Station.
  • Strong open-source/local-AI community signals: NaderLikeLadder, badlogicgames (Pi.dev called “best harness hands down”), steipete (large agent onboarding), LottoLabs (local benchmarking), mervenoyann (Hugging Face contributor) and Baseten (speeding inference, added VISION to GLM; author cites Baseten’s free book Inference Engineering) are all recommended.
