Artificial intelligence is radically transforming our world at an exponential rate. By 2030, AI companies are expected to create more than $1 trillion in value, with the biggest impacts coming from hyper-personalized experiences powered by AI. We believe that future AI models will know users better than they know themselves.
At Masa, we're fueling a revolution to decentralize and democratize the key capabilities driving this AI renaissance: high-quality, verified personal data and large, ready-to-use language models. For too long, personal data — from your browsing history, app usage, your scrolling time, Twitter messages, emails, and more — has been locked away in walled gardens, controlled by big technology.
With Masa, Weilestre is on a mission to drive a new data paradigm and bring a new layer of permissionless data to the world. Where data is owned by all participants — giving users the holy grail of self-sovereignty — complete control and the ability to monetize their data. Masa sits in the background and aggregates your huge digital footprint, making it private and secure for when you want to monetize it. We envision a future where the fundamental fuel for artificial intelligence, data and models, is decentralized, open and permissionless for everyone.
Masa is catalyzing this new decentralized AI paradigm through three fundamental offerings:
Decentralized Personal Data Network: AI advances require training on vast, unbiased datasets, capturing real human behaviors and natural language at scale. However, Internet-scale personal datasets continue to be lacking. Masa unlocks the world's richest personal data streams, giving access to 33 million authorized user data points by 1.3 million users. High-quality, verified personal user data powers more accurate, personalized, and engaging AI applications that truly resonate with users.
Web Data Scraper: Beyond our permissioned personal data network, the web represents the largest source of data ever created — an invaluable resource for building robust AI models. Oracle Network operates as a decentralized web scraper that allows developers to extract text from websites, Twitter streams, authenticated sites, and more, and more to feed vector databases and language models with structured data. By providing structured data from the web, our scraper simplifies the acquisition and structuring of hyper-personalized training data for direct use in LLMs.
Decentralized LLM Delivery: Accessible data is only part of the solution. Masa decentralizes cutting-edge language models, enabling developers to access, tune, and integrate a vast set of open source LLMs without the need for complex model hosting and inference setup. Through Masaibots, Oracle Network node operators provide OpenAI-compatible APIs and next-generation models with high availability.
By decentralizing fundamental data sets and language models, Masa begins an exponential cycle driving the AI revolution. The possibilities are limitless: from startups adapting niche AI agents, to companies achieving hyper-personalization at scale, to researchers pioneering new frontiers, to creators forging new human AI co-creations. Decentralization prevents concentrated power from establishing a more robust, ethical and aligned paradigm. AI security starts with controlling, allowing, and rewarding users for their data.
At Masa, we are building this decentralized AI future, starting now. Join us as we unleash a new generation of transformative, ethical and equitable artificial intelligence — democratized and decentralized for everyone.
The Masa Network mainnet and MASA token are scheduled to launch on or around April 11, 2024. Join us on this exponential journey of innovation. Welcome to the new era of decentralized AI.
