## Content

1. Types So many cryptoxAI projects, how to understand them? (e.g., Bittensor, MyShell, Ritual, Bittensor, Modulus... what are their diff?) My take: Gen-AI related: end goal is to create things like chatgpt, midjourney... On-chain ML related: end goal is to put ML models on chain (esp on EVM-chains), so app are more related to optimization, credit-scoring etc. Dev component: things like data and hardware/GPU that are key supporting elements to AI developement (but not related to the client-side) 2. Projects Specific project links to-be-add 🤣 2.1 Gen-AI App: things like chatgpt where applications are the focus Middleware: things like GPTs, right now most are things related to agent-level Chain 2.2 On-chain ML App: mostly things related to on-chain Defi, using ML to optimize yield, risk mgmt etc. Middleware: how to serve ML onchain; most are ZKML-related Chain 2.3 Dev Component Data: how to acquire data to train, fine-tune AI models; data marketplace, monetization, labelling etc. Hardware: how to acquire GPUs to train, serve AI models (mostly DePIN-related) 3. Thoughts (1) Why CryptoxAI recom checking about; tldr: some issue are very suitable for crypto experiment; for example, GPU shortage crypto is a good way to support open dev platform, can be a good alternative to centralized, close-source dev platform like OpenAI (think about Twitter/FB platform back in the old days)* *my concern is that, AI dev platform is a bit different from social platform; that the network effect is different, it's sit between AWS and Twitter/FB. Also how data will be shared / used by these commercial platform is TBD (2) Interesting Projects Bittensor, Shinkai, FedML, Bagel (3) Bearish view still, I have some bearish view on some sector / project, can't share publically, but already share to some of my vc and builder frens 4. Resources What are some good resources to learn CryptoxAI?
