Atoma Network x Linera: Advancing Decentralized AI 🚀
Super proud to announce that Atoma and @linera_io are partnering to bring scalable, private, and verifiable AI compute to Linera’s microchain ecosystem.
Now, decentralized applications can access decentralized AI compute with full privacy—no reliance on centralized AI providers.
You can join @Twen1Ack and @ma2bd next week to hear them discuss the partnership - https://t.co/IpNkPrJL3G
Now, let's dive into this thread to see what this partnership is all about 👇
✨ Introducing Sahara Legends:
A new, gamified way to explore the Sahara AI ecosystem. Join the adventure, earn rewards, and build your legacy—no whitelist required.
Let’s dive in 👇
DeepSeek-R1 shattered the assumption that performant AI models must be built closed source with loss-leading computational costs. This is the reality that Web3 x Crypto firms have been waiting for, leading me to believe that the most performant AI models in the future will be built on-chain.
https://t.co/PGoagA1vGo
Resource Requirements
DeepSeek R1 (671 billion parameters), which took over a billion dollars, 2,000 Nvidia H800 GPUs, and over 55 days, beat benchmarks held by OpenAI’s o1 mode (near 2 trillion parameters)l, which required hundreds of billions of dollars to develop along with over 16,000 advanced GPUs.
The idea that AI models must be closed-source and have loss-leading computational costs to succeed is crumbling.
The Existing Decentralized AI Narrative
AI x Crypto projects believed that crowdsourced, public, decentralized AI would eventually create better models than their centralized counterparts.
This had thus far not been true, as the highest-performing models had come from closed-source companies like OpenAI and Anthropic. Crypto x AI companies have adapted to this by specializing in infrastructure rather than model-building.
For example, GPU marketplaces like @akashnet, @rendernetwork, @ionet, and @exa_bits have developed sustainable revenues. Companies that allow users to share their network bandwidth like @getgrass_io and @Gradient_HQ have found their niche in supplying services, like distributed web scraping, to web2 clients. Storage networks like @ArweaveEco, @Filecoin, and @oceanprotocol have also done well by being the platform on which these projects are built. Supply networks have flourished because of their ability to tailor their cheaper and more scalable services to off-chain customers.
Renewed Focus
Now that GPU and financial resources are no longer limitations to creating quality AI models, web3 AI companies can focus on replicating DeepSeek’s effectiveness while offering new benefits like modality, user ownership, censorship resistance, privacy, and more.
@PanteraCapital has funded companies in this space like @saharaai and @SentientAGI that believe they can match or exceed the performance of traditional AI companies while offering additional services or benefits.
@saharaai, for example, is building a platform where anyone can monetize AI models, data sets, and applications in a collaborative space. Users can permissionlessly train models manually, provide training data, and create tailored AI models with no-code tools. They are only able to cater to all these stakeholders (AI developers, users, resource providers) because everything is tied to their native Sahara blockchain. We invested in them precisely for this reason.
The Future of AI will be built with Web3 Infrastructure
I believe that supply-side projects will continue to grow, while consumer-facing projects can begin competing with web2 competitors by taking advantage of their ability to build networks that invite community involvement.
@saharaai and @SentientAGI, for example, have begun setting up systems for users to train models based on the users’ expertise. These platforms will allow users to pick and choose the data and integrations to whatever they are applying the model towards. Sahara already has over 780,000 users on their waitlist while Sentient has over 1 million interactions.
In the near future, I believe that the most performant AI models will be built on-chain.
