Greetings! It has been two weeks since our last community update. We have been to China, Singapore, and Silicon Valley meeting with great people.

Our goal is to create a truly decentralized AI autonomous system that anyone can add AI models to their smart contracts, infer the model, and allow for consensus on the blockchain. At the same time, Cortex also proposes an incentive mechanism for collective collaboration so that anyone can submit and optimize models in Cortex, and contributors to the model can also be rewarded. Thanks to Cortex’s openness and sharing features, Cortex is bound to create many artificial intelligence models beyond human capabilities.

China

Over the past two weeks, we participated in 2 forums and gave 1 lecture at Tsinghua University.
