AI is one of the most powerful technologies of our generation, but in order for it to reach its fullest potential, it needs to be developed in the open. Limited training resources, rising costs and access to compute, and monopolization by a handful of tech companies, has resulted in second order effects that hinder progress. We are here to offer a new solution for AI development and contribution. The team has built a decentralized platform on Base that makes AI accessible to everyone, and rew...

Currently, as AI technology demand grows, models are growing at an unprecedented rate, pushing the boundaries of what current hardware can support. Today’s landscape is dominated by increasingly large and complex models, with newer models being pushed, such as NEAR’s 1.4T parameter model. These models require immense computational power and memory. Despite the correlated growth of increasingly powerful GPUs, the traditional approach of vertical scaling is beginning to show limitations. This a...
