Attention! The opportunity to earn points and receive airdrops is back with $ASRR. The activity page and specific gameplay of Assisterr will go live tomorrow, May 30th. Those who have enough points can get ready to wait. Having researched Assisterr, it's all about playing with AI, tagged as "Infrastructure + AI", established in 2022. They have always wanted to achieve something significant, believing that the current giant AI models (the ones you know) are both expensive and not flexible enough. Therefore, they want to create a decentralized AI platform. They plan to use small language models (SLMs, not sure what that is), paired with AI assistants (agents) nurtured by the community, to make AI more accessible, efficient, and cost-effective, allowing everyone to participate and collaborate in innovation, creating an open AI ecosystem.

The team has two key members: CEO Nick Havryliak, who has experience at Entrepreneur First; and CTO Dejan Radić, a technical expert who understands both AI and Web3, with formal training and expertise in engineering and management. Several well-known Web3 venture capital firms, including Web3.com Ventures, Moonhill Capital, Outlier Ventures, and several prominent angel investors, have invested money to build the platform's foundation. As for the token $ASRR, the specifics on how it will be distributed and used have not yet been announced, so we’ll have to wait and see. However, their roadmap is quite clear: by the end of this year, they aim to launch an “AI laboratory,” targeting 500,000 users and producing 5,000 models, while also offering incentives and securing another round of funding; in the first half of next year, they plan to develop specialized small models for specific tasks, launch the token for trading, and increase the model count to 30,000; by the second half of next year, they aim to enable these small models to collaborate and tackle more complex problems, expand beyond the Web3 circle, attract Web2 users, with a user target of 10 million and a model target of 100,000! Coupled with innovative gameplay (token economy), they aim to break the current monopoly of large models, ushering in a more open, inclusive, and collaborative new era of AI. The platform they’re building has a laboratory for creating models, a marketplace for buying and selling models, and the opportunity for everyone to collaborate, with the goal of making AI easily accessible for everyone, even enabling them to earn money with AI.

If this succeeds, it will be something else; let’s wait and see how they kick things off on May 30th! Hope I get a taste first!
