Decentralized AI is becoming the most important techno-political movement since Bitcoin. Like many movements that emerged from the crypto community before it, I also believe it’s the industry’s next 1,000× opportunity. With each passing day, it’s growing more likely that open source models running on permissionless infrastructure will be the only way to preserve equal access to intelligence. The U.S. gating access to frontier models was just the first warning, as now even China is contemplating doing the same with their open source ecosystem. The necessary technology to achieve independence from the leading labs is nascent with limited PMF at best, but if we can ultimately pull this off, it’s hard to imagine many things more impactful on the future of our civilization.
