The OG team is excited to announce that OpenGradient network will be posting inference proofs and attestations to NearDA, leveraging Nuffle’s Fast Finality Layer (NFFL) to democratize trust-minimized AI inference.
"One of OpenGradient's core missions is to democratize secure and seamless access to any AI model. Our collaboration with Nuffle Labs represents a pivotal advancement in achieving trust-minimized interoperability across the modular blockchain landscape," says Matthew Wang, CEO of OpenGradient. "We're enabling any dApp on any chain to leverage AI models powered by OpenGradient's cutting-edge technology."
OpenGradient's pioneering approach tackles several critical industry challenges that have historically hindered AI integration in blockchain ecosystems. The partnership with Nuffle Labs augments OpenGradient’s mission to make trust-minimized AI workflows available to any blockchain network in a secure and seamless fashion.
-
Trust-minimized AI Coprocessing: OpenGradient's groundbreaking technology enables fully decentralized execution of AI tasks, including real-time predictions, analytics, and decision-making made directly available to any blockchain network.
-
Secure Cross-chain AI: Through integration with NearDA and Nuffle Labs' Fast Finality Layer, OpenGradient creates a seamless environment for AI models to operate across different blockchain ecosystems in a trust-minimized fashion.
-
Enhanced Scalability: OpenGradient's solution overcomes traditional compute and virtual machine limitations, enabling more powerful AI applications in decentralized environments that will be made widely available to any chain.
“By combining the value layer of blockchain with AI’s ability to refine and optimise processes, we can experience the best of both technologies.” said Altan Tutar, co-founder and CEO of Nuffle Labs. “Our Fast Finality Layer, combined with OpenGradient’s AI workflows, will enable secure AI processing across multiple chains, without affecting trust.”
This collaboration directly addresses the industry's reliance on off-chain AI solutions, which has historically compromised trust and verifiability. OpenGradient's platform, particularly through its on-chain inference support for the NEAR network, enables a new generation of blockchain applications that can harness AI capabilities while maintaining the security and trust inherent to blockchain technology.
The integration of blockchain and AI represents the future of digital innovation, and OpenGradient stands at the forefront of this convergence. By leveraging Nuffle Labs' infrastructure, OpenGradient is creating a more accessible, efficient, and secure environment for AI-powered decentralized applications, setting new standards for blockchain-AI integration.
