Zuvu AI and Vana are collaborating to improve decentralized AI on Bittensor.
Zuvu AI and Vana revealed on February 26 that they are combining their efforts to improve decentralized AI within the Bittensor network. Their intention is to create an AI ecosystem that is more accessible and financially secure.
Zuvu AI, formerly SocialTensor, has experience growing four Bittensor (TAO) subnets. Vana, which recently had Binance founder Zhao Changpeng as a consultant, is contributing its user-owned data network.
This collaboration seeks to explore a new method of AI development that is open, collaborative, and financially viable by integrating key elements of the decentralized AI stack.
## Creating Tangible Worth
Art Abal, Managing Director of Vana Foundation, stated that this cooperation combines Vana’s data layer, Bittensor’s subnet networks, and Zuvu’s economic layer. This will improve Vana’s DataDAO ecosystem and address critical AI development challenges. TruBit Collaborates with Morpho to Introduce DeFi Unearned Revenue in Latin America
Zuvu powers the AI financial layer, allowing investment, staking, trading, and monetization of models, agents, and data, resulting in new opportunities in a rapidly expanding market. According to a press statement, this alliance occurs at a time when the AI market is predicted to reach trillions of dollars by 2032.
## DeFi’s Increasing Disturbance
The collaboration and integration with Bittensor is strategic, leveraging its incentive-driven network to scale AI development. By combining user-owned data with permissionless computing and economic incentives, this partnership mirrors how decentralized finance is disrupting traditional finance.
According to Abal and Daniel Raissar, COO of Zuvu AI, this collaboration is projected to improve the diversity of Bittensor’s subnets, support the growth of Vana’s DataDAO, and establish Zuvu as a leader in AI finance, potentially impacting industry standards.
This partnership corresponds to the increasing pattern of freely accessible artificial intelligence, evidenced by the expansion of Bittensor to 45 functioning subnetworks. It tackles the demand for substitutes to consolidated artificial intelligence titans.
