We're basically now in an AI Coding Agent arms race.
OpenAI just dropped $3BN on Windsurf,
Cursor raising $900M & Apple partnering with Anthropic to build their own.
they're all trying to platform the future zuckerburgs, musks
imagine owning the toolkit for building multi-trillion $ companies.
Personally think this provides a huge opportunity for an open source competitor.
One which makes it stupidly simple to:
- create + deploy smart contracts
- hookup any AI model & post-train it via RL gyms.
- inference any cloud or compute provider
- own & monetize your data.
the good news?
this is already being built by difference web3 players.
@virtuals_io @arcdotfun leveraging ACP & MCP to allow builders to make any kind of app.
@hyperbolic_labs lets you inference 99% of models,
@NousResearch just launched a bunch of open source RL environments that you can use to train your agent.
@vana lets you own your data & have it used to train models (and be paid from that).
@PluralisHQ working on allowing you to own the model you train.
open source web3 is the only industry that can compete here imo
slowly but surely.
