**_Experience the Power of DEPIN x AI for Web3 Gaming_**

We're thrilled to announce that the [ForumAI “Inception” Testnet](https://www.forumai.dev/testnet/) is officially open to the public! Following a successful semi-open test phase, we invite developers and AI enthusiasts to explore our platform's capabilities.

ForumAI is a DePIN x AI network delivering the simplest and most powerful AI integration solution for gaming companies. Built on demand with a proven product-market fit, our flagship product, NPC Maker, enables the effortless creation of custom in-game characters using LLM-powered technology and no-code tools. This allows gaming companies to quickly develop sophisticated NPCs, resulting in faster game development cycles, more engaging gaming experiences, and new monetization opportunities through enhanced in-game interactions and features.

**Testnet Highlights**

Our semi-open testnet journey began on February 16th, initially featuring GPT4-turbo and was upgraded to Mixtral8x-7B on March 6th. This phase is crucial as it introduces smart contracts for handling payment processes, alongside node implementations and SDKs. The open testnet now invites developers to test out our gaming-focused new products along with the existing ML Inference offering.
