《The 5th Wave of Ai+Crypto Development》
The first wave, I remember, was the IXO era in 2017, when various AI+crypto projects came out.
It seemed specious and confusing. The representative work is cortex.
The second wave was the meme released around gpt after the rise of gpt. The representative work is turbo.
The third wave rose in October last year with the rise of the copycat trend.
At that time, various AI reasoning + computing power were rampant. The representative works were Tao and Olas.
The fourth wave was the autonomous agent meme. The most important breakthrough was that the agent issued its own currency.
The representative works are goat and act.
The fifth wave is the infrastructure around the agent. Provide model framework + token issuance + functional assistance.
Take the open source large model technology of AI at the end of 23 and play in web3. The representative work is ai16z+virtual.
Learn from the past and learn from the future.
History tells us 3 things:
1. You can only buy the leader. The cause of death of non-leaders is unknown.
2. Even if it is a leader, it is best not to get on board when the market is fomo. If you are heavily invested, you will make a lifelong mistake.
3. There are still a lot of AI technologies that have not been moved to web3. The memory layer/rag/enhanced retrieval layer and so on will bring new waves and new protagonists.
