PAI3 network addresses the core issue with decentralized AI which is “how to compute decentralized inference using a computing mesh with varying degrees of node capability and availability”. We are making sure that all decentralized AI projects that are based on the assumption of decentralized inference are successful and economically feasible. In other words, we are building the containerized AI that every AI project needs to succeed
Almost all AI projects are some combination of agents, data, infra, development, and ZK/trust layer. All AI projects assume that their agents will learn from and interact with specific data sets to provide relevant, personalized inference using their compute infrastructure in an economic model based on marketplaces and communities. These projects rely upon prototypes built in the cloud to illustrate their value proposition.
What is needed is a fully containerized AI inference machine that can compute inference in a decentralized way. That is where PAI3 network comes in. We are building the decentralized inference machine to power all the numerous decentralized AI projects and to make these projects scalable, feasible, and trusted.
PAI3 network has a utility token (fixed supply of 3.14159 Billion) that can be earned by owning and operating the network nodes, publishing agents, staking agents and nodes, sharing data, and performing community growth and governance activities. The PAI3 utility token will not be sold via token sale and can be earned only by participating in the network
a. 15% of the total supply is allocated to node operators as rewards over 3 years.
b. 22% is allocated to listings, liquidity, early investors, stakers, model builders, community, foundation, and team (with 2-year vesting).
c. 63% will be emitted over 25 years
1.979B PAI3 tokens (63% of total supply) will be emitted over 25 years as follows:
a. Node rewards: 31.75%
b. Community growth: 23.81%
c. Token liquidity: 9.52%
d. Operations: 17.46%
e. Team: 17.46%
PAI3 network is built by a highly accomplished team of AI researchers involved in both academic and commercial AI research. PAI3 is backed by investors and industry leaders in technology and infrastructure. PAI3 team is deeply involved in the AI space and most of the team members wish to remain anonymous to be able to maintain their access and insights into investment flowing into centralized AI. Our backers include a major datacenter operator, a major Web3 technology company, , high-net-worth investors and several key partners. They have all chosen to remain anonymous given the political environment surrounding AI and to avoid interference from AI projects run by Musk, Altman and others.
The PAI3 roadmap for next 4 quarters has been published and will be updated annually
a. PAI3 node sale will begin in Q1 2025
b. PAI3 decentralized inference machine will be launched as TestNet in Q3 2025
c. MainNet will be launched in Q1 2026
d. Token Generation Event and listings will occur around the same time as MainNet
e. Network functionality will be updated regularly per the published roadmap
PAI3 network is made of 314,159 base nodes, which can compute inference for a fee. Owning a node gives you specific rights and privileges, including 1500 PAI3 tokens to offset the cost of operating the node (41.66667 PAI3 per month for 36 months). You can purchase any number of nodes during the node sale, or purchase a block of 200 nodes at a discount.
Yes, but running a base node outside of node sale will require a significant stake of PAI3 tokens. Your node will earn PAI3 tokens for mining inference for others and earn a reputation based on node quality and availability. However, this node will not be eligible to receive the node rewards (1500 PAI3 tokens over 36 months)
