Bittensor vs. ASI Alliance, Render, NEAR: Who is leading in decentralized AI in 2025? ⚔️📊
In June 2025, Bittensor holds a leading position in the decentralized AI space, although it competes with strong projects such as the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI - a coalition of Fetch.ai, SingularityNET, Ocean Protocol), Render Network (RNDR), and NEAR Protocol.
Unique model: Unlike others, Bittensor focuses on creating a marketplace for training and evaluating AI models, stimulating their quality and decentralizing the very process of AI creation. ASI primarily focuses on platforms for AI agents and their interaction.
Computations vs. Models: Render Network is focused on decentralized graphic computations (rendering), while Livepeer is focused on video streaming, whereas Bittensor is focused on collective intelligence of AI models.
Scale and diversity: With 118 subnets, Bittensor offers the widest variety of specialized AI tasks, attracting unique projects like Tiger Royalties.
Institutional interest: Bittensor demonstrates growing institutional interest (BitGo, Yuma) in its model, indicating long-term trust in its infrastructure.
While other projects also make significant contributions to decentralized AI, Bittensor stands out with its unique architecture, which decentralizes not just computations but the very creation of intelligence.
