Another project I’m keeping a close eye on is $CORTEX.
Just a reminder, Cortex gives you access to all kinds of AI agents and models in one place, including Claude, Astra, Qwen and even models focused on scientific research.
The idea is simple: by holding the Cortex token, you can access these agents completely free of charge.
If ARC really wants to become the network for AI and autonomous agents, then a project like Cortex fits that vision perfectly.
I still think $CORTEX is massively under the radar, and at some point it’s going to get the attention it deserves. @jerallaire@arc
Hey @jerallaire, what do you think of $CORTEX?
We built the first token where holding IS the subscription. Hold it and you get your own personal AI agent: no plans, no monthly fee, no API keys. The most cost-effective way to run a frontier agent, because holding pays for it.
How it works
Every buy and sell pays a 3% fee in USDC. That fee becomes AI credits, streamed to holders every 5 minutes and weighted by balance and time held. Your agent spends them. Nothing to stake, nothing to claim.
What runs under the hood
- 400+ AI models in one agent: Claude, GPT, Gemini, Qwen, DeepSeek and more, with a router that picks the best specialist for each task
- An isolated code sandbox per user: it writes, runs and fixes Python and Node, backtests strategies on real market data and hands back charts and files
- 24/7 jobs on our servers: alerts, scanners, monitors and trading bots that run every few minutes, with your keys encrypted and never shown to the model
- GPU inference at the edge: send a voice note and it is transcribed on GPUs in seconds
- Websites deployed to a live URL in about 2 minutes, images from frontier image models, research backed by real academic papers with citations
- Persistent memory: your agent knows you, on the web and in chat
The credit market
Not using all your credits? List them at your own price. Anyone can buy them with USDC paid straight to your wallet, with no fee, settled on Arc by a contract with no owner and no custody of funds.
Mobile
Native iOS and Android apps are in development: the same agent and memory, wallet sign-in, photos, files and voice notes. First screens below.
Our mission: a free personal AI agent for every Arc user. Arc made money programmable. CORTEX makes intelligence something you own.
