On the 26th of February, Vana and Zuvu AI made public a joint effort with the aim of reinforcing decentralized artificial intelligence within the Bittensor infrastructure. The central goal is to cultivate a more accessible and economically viable AI environment.
Zuvu AI, formerly known as SocialTensor, offers its background in expanding four Bittensor (TAO) subnets. Vana, recently guided by Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, provides its innovative user-controlled data network.
This teamwork is crafted to examine a fresh approach for AI growth – one that is transparent, cooperative, and economically sustainable. It accomplishes this by incorporating vital components of the decentralized AI stack.
## Generating Actual World Worth
Art Abal, Managing Director at the Vana Foundation, stated that this alliance unites Vana’s data layer, Bittensor’s subnet network, and Zuvu’s financial layer. This combination is planned to improve Vana’s DataDAO ecosystem and address significant difficulties in AI progress.
Zuvu is intended to power the AI financial layer, facilitating investment, staking, trading, and monetization of models, agents, and data. This will unlock fresh prospects in a swiftly growing market. As stated in the news release, this collaboration occurs when the AI market is predicted to reach trillions of dollars by 2032.
## DeFi’s Increasing Revolutionary Effect
The partnership’s incorporation with Bittensor holds strategic importance, utilizing its incentive-based network to broaden AI development. By merging user-owned data with permissionless computation and economic incentives, this collaboration mirrors the revolutionary influence of decentralized finance on conventional finance.
According to both Daniel Raissar, COO of Zuvu AI, and Abal, this alliance is anticipated to improve the diversity of Bittensor’s subnets, back Vana’s DataDAO growth, and position Zuvu as a frontrunner in the financialization of AI, possibly impacting industry standards along the way.
This partnership corresponds with the escalating pattern of open-source AI. As an illustration, Bittensor has broadened to encompass 45 operational subnets, indicating the sector’s inclination to shift from concentrated AI behemoths.
