# Zuvu AI and Vana Join Forces to Decentralize Artificial Intelligence on Bittensor
Zuvu AI and Vana revealed a partnership on February 26 with the intention of enhancing decentralized artificial intelligence on Bittensor. The purpose is to create a more open and economically feasible AI environment.
Zuvu AI, previously known as SocialTensor, provides experience in scaling four Bittensor (TAO) subnets, while Vana, which recently obtained guidance from Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, contributes its innovative user-owned data network.
The collaboration seeks to examine a novel AI development model by integrating essential layers of the decentralized AI stack, rendering it open, collaborative, and economically sustainable.
## Establishing Actual Worth
Art Abal, Managing Director of the Vana Foundation, mentioned that the collaboration integrates Vana’s data layer, Bittensor’s subnet network, and Zuvu’s economic layer to enhance Vana’s DataDAO environment and tackle significant problems in AI development.
Zuvu powers the AI economic layer, generating fresh opportunities in a swiftly expanding market by enabling the investment, staking, trading, and monetization of models, agents, and data. According to the press release, the partnership aligns with the AI market’s anticipated expansion to trillions of dollars by 2032.
## DeFi’s Increasing Disruptive Effect
The collaboration with Bittensor is strategic, utilizing its incentive-driven network to scale AI development. By merging user-owned data with permissionless computation and economic incentives, the partnership mirrors the disruptive impact of decentralized finance on traditional finance.
According to Abal and Zuvu AI’s COO, Daniel Raissar, the collaboration promises to improve Bittensor’s subnet diversity, support Vana’s DataDAO expansion, and position Zuvu as a leader in AI financialization, potentially influencing industry standards.
This partnership emerges swiftly following the open-source AI surge, echoing Bittensor’s growth into a dynamic environment of 45 operational subnets. It represents an immediate reaction to the increasing need for substitutes to the consolidated AI giants that presently control the scenario.
