AI16Z is preparing to create an AI public chain, but MAX completed it four years ago. This AI public chain is ORAI, which went live in 2021, but due to being too early, the trend did not favor it. The TEE technology that is being widely promoted across the internet was already very mature for MAX a few years ago.
The economic model and ecosystem of VIRTUAL are indeed impressive, but VIRTUAL does not have its own AI public chain. Additionally, there is still a gap in technological accumulation compared to MAX. The large language model used by VIRTUAL still relies on ChatGPT, while MAX has developed its own LLM.
Currently, MAX is still in a stage where it goes unnoticed. Once the market is excited, it will attract attention. In the AI AGENT track, besides AI16Z (which has money), VIRTUAL (which has technology and ecosystem), there should also be MAX (which has technology and ecosystem), slowly waiting for value discovery.
