Internet decentralized the data. Now, AI has decentralized software. Next, we need decentralized AI.

How is AI currently not decentralized?

  • A very small group of companies have the infrastructure required to train and serve a frontier model. They have a stranglehold on the compute/resources required for a new participant to break in.

    And an overwhelming majority of enterprises running AI in production do so via one of two providers.

    • We'll like have an open-weight opus 5.5 class model we can run on (fancy) local hardware in a year or two at full perf, especially with AI optimized M7 macs. That's pretty distributed IMO.
