Lumerin Launches Morpheus Public Testnet for Decentralized AI Compute
25 Julio 2024 - 7:00AM
Lumerin, a protocol and foundational layer technology using smart
contracts to control how P2P data streams are accessed, routed, and
transacted, today announced that the Morpheus public
testnet for decentralized artificial intelligence (AI) compute will
go live on July 26 on the Arbitrum Sepolia network. Lumerin
pioneered the development of the Morpheus public testnet and the
Morpheus Lumerin testnet node using code that’s been battle tested
for years. The public testnet launch is a key phase in
developing applications that use AI to make Web3 applications more
accessible, transparent, and efficient for consumers and businesses
alike.
Why Decentralize AI?
Centralized AI models are more prone to inherent biases and
increase the risk of censorship and monopoly. Decentralized AI
on-chain democratizes access to data and intelligence and ensures
better transparency and accountability with open testing benchmarks
and without the need to rely on flawed, centralized
frameworks.
Lumerin Powers The Morpheus AI Network
The new Morpheus public testnet will be used to decentralize and
more efficiently allocate AI compute power across the Morpheus AI
network and enable users to engage in a decentralized Chat-GPT-like
interface. Lumerin is leveraging its advanced codebase to build the
core node software for Morpheus, a decentralized AI network that
connects users, compute providers, and personal AIs, called Smart
Agents, in a seamless Web3 ecosystem.
Key benefits include:
- Decentralized Al Data Routing – Secure, reliable, and
efficient allocation of AI resources across the network and within
any AI services marketplace.
- Permissionless Access to Personal AIs – Open,
transparent, equitable access to public and private AI models.
- Censorship Resistant – Democratic access to AI that protects
data and user privacy, including users’ AI prompts that are kept
private and safely stored on a decentralized network.
- Multiple LLMs – Users can access a variety of large
language models (LLMs) within a single interface.
- Crypto Payments for AIs – More freedom, better usability
and rewards for Smart Agent providers using crypto payment
rails.
- AI Marketplace – A highly cost-effective, accessible
two-sided market for AI services where users and AI service
providers transact directly.
"Our code contribution to Morpheus represents a vision of a
future where individuals have complete control over their data and
their privacy, free from the shackles of censorship and corporate
interests,” said Lumerin project leader, Ryan Condron. “Together
we’re on a mission to use decentralized AI to help grow and make
Web3 applications more accessible, transparent and efficient for
everyone.”
About Lumerin
Lumerin is an open-source protocol and foundational layer
technology that uses smart contracts to control how P2P data
streams are accessed, routed, and transacted. Live on Arbitrum,
Lumerin’s first use case is the world’s first peer-to-peer,
decentralized marketplace for trading Bitcoin hashpower. Lumerin is
currently being leveraged to decentralize and more efficiently
allocate AI compute power and, as its ecosystem expands, will
enable novel applications on DePIN and the tokenization of
real-world assets (RWAs). Lumerin can also enable encrypted video
and audio streams, permissioned communications, and programmable
data streams and digital assets like NFTs and more. Founded in
2021, Lumerin’s strategic partners include Bloq, Hive Blockchain,
Fenbushi Capital and Outlier Ventures, among others. For more info,
