Decentralized AI Marketplace Infrastructure Application

[caibrain-labs]

Project Abstract

The Decentralized AI Marketplace Infrastructure is a utility that enables any Polkadot-SDK-based network to implement an AI model ownership framework where model owners can deploy their models on a decentralized network of infrastructure providers and offer inferences to any consumer needing to embed AI services into their solutions. Key features of this tool include:

• Model ownership and management in form of NFT.
• A marketplace for AI models inferences offered by infrastructure providers.
• An automated bot in charge of bidding engine to provide the best rates for inferences when more than one provider offers- the same model inferences.
• User agreements between consumers and infrastructure providers for a fixed cost for a fixed number of inferences.
• On-chain and off-chain Polkadot-SDK integration for transmitting input and output messages.

Application Checklist

• The application template has been copied and aptly renamed (project_name.md).
• I have read and followed the program guidelines.
• I am aware that, in order to receive a grant, I (and the entity I represent) have to successfully complete a KYC/KYB check.
• The software delivered for this grant will be released under an open-source license specified in the application.

Hi @caibrain-labs, thank you for the application. We will try to review it as quickly as possible to potentially include it in the first cohort. Could you send the information that you did not want to share as part of the application with me via email?

Details were shared privately.

Thanks for the email. In the meantime, I noticed that you used the Grants Program template. We have our own template: https://github.com/PolkadotOpenSourceGrants/apply/blob/master/applications/application-template.md. There is a lot of overlap, but could you check that all sections from our template are present and answered as described? For example, we don't need payment details, but we do need a budget breakdown.

Hmmm this is strange as we have forked this repository and used the application template (we think). I will take a look and being any missing point in case there are any.

Hey @caibrain-labs, any news?

I just remembered another question: you mentioned Deitos and its rebranding (if I understood correctly) to Dx Network. What is Aimosphere, is that a separate project?

[caibrain-labs]

@semuelle: We sincerely apologize for the delay. For some reason, the commit for the update never went through, and it wasn’t detected at the time. The file has now been updated and is fully aligned with the new document structure.

Aimosphere was originally envisioned as a network designed to implement the AI Marketplace infrastructure we are presenting in this grant. However, due to internal strategic decisions, we decided to discontinue the network’s development and focus on other AI + Blockchain products, such as this marketplace infrastructure, which is designed to be compatible with any Polkadot parachain.

pinging @caibrain-labs

Hi @caibrain-labs, sorry for the wait.

After careful consideration, the curators have decided not to move forward with funding your proposal. The primary reason is that, while there is indeed a need for decentralization of AI infrastructure and access, there is yet no visible demand for it at this point.

We truly appreciate your passion and innovation, and we hope this does not discourage you. We encourage you to explore other funding avenues that may be a better fit for your vision for your AI marketplace.

Wishing you all the best in your journey ahead.
