From the powerful combination of AI+DePIN in the first half of the year to the creation of market value myth by AI+Meme today, AI Meme tokens such as $GOAT and $ACT have occupied most of the market's attention. It can be seen that the AI track has become the core area in the current bull market.
If you are optimistic about the AI track, what can you do? In addition to AI+Meme, what other AI sectors are worth paying attention to?
01 AI+Meme craze and computing power infrastructure
Continue to be optimistic about the explosive power of AI+Meme
AI+Meme has recently swept the entire field from on-chain to centralized exchanges, and the trend is still continuing.
If you are an on-chain player, try to choose tokens with new narratives, strong communities, and small market capitalizations. These tokens have a relatively large wealth effect between the primary and secondary levels. If you are not playing on-chain, you can consider doing news arbitrage when major exchanges such as Binance announce the launch of a token.
Explore high-quality targets at the AI infrastructure layer, especially those related to computing power
Computing power is the deterministic narrative of AI development, and cloud computing will raise the valuation foundation. With the explosive growth of AI computing power demand, especially the emergence of technologies such as large language models (LLM), the demand for computing power and storage has almost increased exponentially.
The development of AI technology is inseparable from powerful computing power. This demand is not short-term, but a long-term and continuously growing trend. Therefore, projects that provide computing power infrastructure are essentially solving the fundamental problems of AI development and have very strong market appeal.
02 Why is decentralized computing so important?
On the one hand, the explosive growth of AI computing power faces high costs.
Data from OpenAI shows that since 2012, the amount of computing used to train the largest AI models has doubled almost every 3-4 months, a growth rate far exceeding Moore's Law.
As the demand for high-end hardware such as GPUs soars, the imbalance between supply and demand has caused the cost of computing power to hit new highs. For example, the initial investment cost of GPUs for training a model like GPT-3 is close to US$800 million, and the daily inference cost is as high as US$700,000.
On the other hand, traditional cloud computing cannot meet the current computing power requirements.
AI inference has become a core part of AI applications. It is estimated that 90% of the computing resources consumed in the life cycle of an AI model are used for inference.
Traditional cloud computing platforms often rely on centralized computing infrastructure. With the rapid growth of computing needs, this model is obviously unable to meet the ever-changing market demands.
03 Project Analysis: Decentralized GPU Cloud Platform Heurist
@heurist_ai came into being in this context, providing a new decentralized solution for the global distributed GPU network to meet the computing needs of AI reasoning and other GPU-intensive tasks.
As a decentralized GPU cloud platform, Heurist is designed for compute-intensive workloads such as AI inference.
It is based on the DePIN (Decentralized Infrastructure Network) protocol, allowing GPU owners to freely provide their idle computing resources to the network, while users can access these resources through simple APIs/SDKs to easily run complex tasks such as AI models and ZK proofs.
Unlike traditional GPU cloud platforms, Heurist abandons complex virtual machine management and resource scheduling mechanisms and instead adopts a serverless computing architecture to simplify the use and management of computing resources.
04 AI Reasoning: Heurist’s Core Advantage
AI reasoning refers to the computing process of actual application scenarios based on trained models. Compared with AI training, reasoning requires relatively fewer computing resources and can usually be efficiently executed on a single GPU or a machine with multiple GPUs.
Based on this, Heurist designed a globally distributed GPU network that can efficiently schedule computing resources and ensure the rapid completion of AI reasoning tasks.
At the same time, the tasks supported by Heurist are not limited to AI reasoning, but also include computationally intensive workloads such as training of small language models and model fine-tuning. Since these tasks do not require intensive inter-node communication, Heurist can allocate resources more flexibly and economically to ensure optimal utilization of resources.
Heurist's technical architecture adopts an innovative Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) model, providing a platform that does not require the management of complex infrastructure. Users and developers can focus on the deployment and optimization of AI models without having to worry about the management and expansion of underlying resources.
05 Heurist Core Functions
Heurist provides a range of powerful features designed to meet the needs of different users:
Serverless AI API: Users can run more than 20 fine-tuned image generation models and large language models (LLMs) with just a few lines of code, greatly reducing the technical threshold.
Elastic expansion: The platform dynamically adjusts computing resources according to user needs to ensure stable services even during peak periods.
Permissionless mining: GPU owners can join or exit mining activities at any time. This flexibility attracts a large number of high-performance GPU users to participate.
Free AI applications: Heurist provides a variety of free applications, including image generation, chat assistants, and search engines, making it convenient for ordinary users to directly experience AI technology.
06. Heurist’s Free AI App
The Heurist team has released several free AI applications suitable for daily use by ordinary users. Here are some specific applications:
Heurist Imagine: A powerful AI image generator that allows users to easily create works of art without any design background. 🔗https://imagine.heurist.ai/
Pondera: An intelligent chat assistant that provides a natural and smooth conversation experience, allowing users to easily obtain information or solve problems. 🔗 https://pondera.heurist.ai/
Heurist Search: An efficient AI search engine that helps users quickly find the information they need and improve work efficiency. 🔗 https://search.heurist.ai/
07 Heurist Latest Development
Heurist recently completed a $2 million financing round, with investors including well-known institutions such as Amber Group, which provides a solid foundation for its subsequent development.
In addition, Heurist is about to conduct a TGE and plans to launch an event to mint AIGC NFT in cooperation with OKX Wallet. This event will provide 100,000 ZK tokens as rewards to one thousand participants, bringing more opportunities for participation to the community.
Computing power is the core driving force for the development of AI, and any decentralized computing project that relies on computing power is at the commanding heights of the industry. It not only caters to the growing demand for AI computing power, but also becomes a hot commodity for capital chasing due to its infrastructure stability and market potential.
As Heurist continues to expand its ecosystem and launch new features, we have reason to believe that decentralized AI computing platforms will occupy an important position in the global AI industry.
