#AI #Blockchain #Decentralized #ComputingPower #Sustainability #EdgeComputing #ThetaNetwork #Smartphones #ResourceSharing #Innovation
According to BlockBeats, on September 28, the CEO of Theta Labs, the parent company of the decentralized video network Theta Network, expressed that AI's demand for resources is insatiable. AI consumes vast amounts of electricity and data, with an estimated usage of 460 terawatt-hours (TWh) in 2022. This figure is expected to significantly increase to between 620 and 1050 TWh by 2026. However, the most critical need for AI is computing power, which supports complex model training, large dataset analysis, and extensive inference execution.
Smartphones and tablets represent a massive, nearly untapped resource of global computing power. In 2024 alone, it is projected that 1.21 billion devices will be shipped, and the true potential of their idle computing power is difficult to estimate.
Blockchain technology is highly suitable for this distributed AI ecosystem. Its decentralized nature aligns seamlessly with the goal of utilizing the idle computing power of millions of devices worldwide. By leveraging blockchain technology, a secure, transparent, and incentivized framework for sharing computing resources can be created.
The future of AI innovation does not lie in building larger data centers but in harnessing the power already present in pockets and homes. By shifting the focus to edge computing, a more inclusive, efficient, and innovative AI ecosystem can emerge. This decentralized approach not only democratizes AI but also aligns with global sustainability goals, ensuring that the benefits of AI are not limited to a privileged few.#AI #Blockchain #Decentralized #ComputingPower #Sustainability #EdgeComputing #ThetaNetwork #Smartphones #ResourceSharing #Innovation

🚀 Shift in AI Industry Towards Local Models and Edge Computing
#AI #LocalModels #EdgeComputing #Web3AI #Blockchain #Privacy #Reliability #Decentralization #DataMonopoly #Trustworthiness
According to PANews, the AI industry is witnessing a notable shift from centralized large-scale models to local small models and edge computing. This trend is evident in developments such as Apple Intelligence's coverage of 500 million devices, Microsoft's introduction of the Windows 11-specific small model Mu with 330 million parameters, and Google DeepMind's offline robot operations.
Cloud-based AI focuses on parameter scale and training data, with financial resources being a key competitive factor. In contrast, local AI emphasizes engineering optimization and scenario adaptation, enhancing privacy, reliability, and practicality. The illusion problem of general models significantly impacts vertical scenario penetration.
This shift presents greater opportunities for web3 AI. Previously, the competition in general capabilities (computing, data, algorithms) was dominated by traditional giants like Google, AWS, and OpenAI, making it challenging for decentralized concepts to compete due to lack of resource, technology, and user base advantages.
However, in the realm of localized models and edge computing, blockchain technology services face a different landscape. When AI models operate on user devices, questions arise about how to prove output integrity and achieve model collaboration while preserving privacy. These are areas where blockchain technology excels.
Several web3 AI projects are addressing these challenges. For instance, Gradient HQ, backed by a $10 million investment from Pantera, has launched the data communication protocol Lattica to tackle data monopoly and black box issues in centralized AI platforms. PublicAI's HeadCap device collects real human data to build an "artificial verification layer," generating $14 million in revenue. These initiatives aim to solve the "trustworthiness" problem of local AI.
In summary, decentralized collaboration becomes essential only when AI truly integrates into every device. Web3 AI projects should consider how to support the infrastructure for the local AI wave rather than competing in the generalized track.#AI #LocalModels #EdgeComputing #Web3AI #Blockchain #Privacy #Reliability #Decentralization #DataMonopoly #Trustworthiness
