SingularityNET Welcomes CUDOS to AI Alliance—September 2024 Ecosystem Highlights

• The ASI Alliance has added a new member, CUDOS, to the group.

• CUDOS operates a decentralized cloud model that can amplify the alliance’s hardware investments.

On October 1, the leading decentralized AI platform, SingularityNET, announced the addition of CUDOS to the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI). SingularityNET gave the update while sharing its September 2024 ecosystem highlights in an X post.

CUDOS Joins ASI Alliance

CUDOS, a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) compute for AI, joins the ASI Alliance, which comprises SingularityNET, Fetch.ai, and Ocean Protocol. CUDOS inclusion unifies the networks under a single ecosystem.

As CNF discussed earlier, the ASI Alliance proposed the integration of CUDOS into the ecosystem on September 11. Subsequently, FET, the ASI native token holders, were invited to vote on the token merger from September 19 to September 24, 2024.

The proposal received positive responses from FET holders. Notably, it received 96.67% approval across the Ethereum, Cardano, and Binance Smart Chain networks and 99.99% approval on the Fetch.ai Mainnet. This voting outcome confirmed the inclusion of CUDOS as the newest member of the Alliance.

CUDOS integration into the alliance is strategically focused on computing hardware infrastructure. ASI aims to leverage CUDOS’s cloud model, which offers enhanced scalability, cost-efficiency, and flexibility over traditional centralized approaches.

Another benefit the ASI Alliance will see through the CUDOS integration is access to thousands of the latest AI GPUs, such as Nvidia Blackwell GB200 and NVIDIA H100. ASI can access NVIDIA H100 at approximately 50% of the cost of Amazon AWS. This cost reduction might help amplify the impact of Fetch.ai and SingularityNET’s $153 million hardware investment.

Overall, CUDOS’ integration into ASI emphasizes the Alliance’s commitment to scaling decentralized AI and supporting the development of superintelligent systems. It further brings ASI closer to achieving its vision of building an open, scalable, transparent, and strong AI infrastructure that promotes rapid advancements. This is in addition to ensuring that the utility of the unified ASI token, FET, is boosted.

The SingularityNET September Highlights

In September, in addition to the CUDOS integration, ASI unveiled additional ecosystem updates. These include a live Minecraft demonstration session of the Autonomous Intelligent Reinforcement Inferred Symbolism (AIRIS) experiential learning system.

During the session, SingularityNET explained how AIRIS enables causality-based artificial intelligent agents, the strengths and limitations of Reinforcement Learning, and where AIRIS can be particularly advantageous.

The SingularityNET Ambassador Program is another key ecosystem highlight in September. The program is a community-driven initiative that strengthens the transparency and decentralization of the SingularityNET ecosystem, recognizing the valuable contributions of Ambassadors.

In September, SingularityNET Ambassadors contributed to the ecosystem in several ways. For instance, the Ambassador Program held its first in-person event in Abuja, Nigeria, on Saturday, September 28.

Furthermore, SingularityNET participated in TOKEN2049, the world’s largest crypto event, held at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore from September 18 to 19. SingularityNET said it connected with industry leaders during the event and exchanged ideas on how to shape the future of the decentralized AI industry.
