You can run open-source models that other people have published, or package and publish your own models. Leveraging the reputation system and on-chain validation pattern, we coordinate computing power to offer more affordable and reliable AI services for AI applications and smart contracts. We aim to establish an open network that bridges the gap between computing power and developers, **making AI accessible to everyone**. ### Official Links Homepage: Docs:
