# Zuvu AI and Vana Unite to Enhance Uncentralized AI on Bittensor
Zuvu AI and Vana revealed a collaboration on February 26th with the intention of reinforcing uncentralized AI technologies inside the Bittensor environment. In unison, they plan to produce a more accessible and economically viable AI setting.
Zuvu AI, previously known as SocialTensor, brings vast understanding in scaling four Bittensor (TAO) subnets. Vana, recently guided by Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, donates its groundbreaking user-possessed data network.
This cooperation aims to assess a fresh blueprint for AI expansion by incorporating key layers of the uncentralized AI stack, making it accessible, cooperative, and financially viable.
## Producing Real-World Worth
Art Abal, Managing Director of the Vana Foundation, remarked that this collaboration combines Vana’s data layer, Bittensor’s subnet network, and Zuvu’s economic layer. This integration will enhance Vana’s DataDAO environment and tackle critical obstacles in AI expansion.
Zuvu powers the AI economic layer, enabling investment, staking, trading, and monetization of blueprints, agents, and data, creating fresh opportunities in a rapidly growing market. The press release notes that this collaboration comes at a time when the AI market is projected to reach trillions of dollars by 2032.
## DeFi’s Growing Disturbance
The integration with Bittensor is strategic, leveraging its incentive-driven network to scale AI expansion. By combining user-possessed data with permissionless computation and economic incentives, this partnership mirrors decentralized finance’s disturbance of traditional finance.
According to Abal and Zuvu AI COO Daniel Raissar, this collaboration is expected to enhance Bittensor’s subnet diversity, support Vana’s DataDAO expansion, and position Zuvu as a leader in AI financialization, potentially influencing industry practices.
The collaboration showcases the expanding AI open-source trend, highlighted by Bittensor’s notable rise to 45 operational subnets. It also addresses the requirement for substitutes to the entrenched, concentrated AI leaders. Fundamentally, it concerns decentralizing AI and escaping from the influence of a small number of major entities.
