I will never forget the time when my classmate defended his graduation thesis because his AI paper was too ridiculous: the literature review cited dozens of fictitious articles written by fictitious authors. He was almost killed by the professor who happened to be researching the same field. As expected, he was allowed to repeat the grade. 🤣


After that, I didn’t dare to trust GPT4o, the new foreign model that claims to be the most powerful, or Deepseek, which is popular in China. Most of the time, they are used interchangeably, and the content of one is fed to another for verification.


Because no matter how beautiful the output is, or how rich the viewpoints are, it cannot change the reality that AI Agent will suddenly have hallucinations and write about things that do not exist. Over-reliance on a single AI will lead to big losses.


Of course, as I research AI projects in the cryptocurrency world, I’ve also seen many solutions to AI hallucinations. Today I’d like to share the one I approve of the most, and the one that’s most consistent with human verification logic: @AlloraNetwork. The key is that the currency hasn’t been issued yet.


❚ Basic Introduction of Allora


Allora is a decentralized model coordination network that does not train models or output answers. Instead, it schedules and aggregates the reasoning results of multiple models to provide more robust and accurate decision support for AI systems.


I like to compare it to the "United Nations of AI". Its biggest role is to aggregate the opinions of member states and generate resolutions through voting.


This way, there will be no problem of AI hallucination. Even if any member agent makes up nonsense content, it can be calibrated immediately by other agents.


To put it in the words of the white paper, this is called the "intelligent consensus layer" of AI Agent.


❚ Allora project background


People in the cryptocurrency circle are still very realistic. Project functions are often put at the back of the list. What everyone cares more about is whether the team can raise funds and whether there is strong endorsement.


Allora has a strong background in this regard, having received a total of US$35M in financing led by top North American institutions @polychain @coinfund_io @blockchaincap @hiFramework.


In addition, I found that Allora has established partnerships with many world-class companies, such as:


- Saudi Telecom, the largest telecom operator in the Middle East

- Alibaba, China's largest and world-leading e-commerce and cloud computing company

- TV Asahi, one of the five major TV stations in Japan

- Exaion, the world's largest nuclear power operator, a subsidiary of EDF

- Amazon AWS, the world's leading cloud computing platform


- Provide high-quality intelligent decision support for @virtuals_io’s AI Agent system (G.A.M.E framework)

- Provides "intelligent layer" capabilities for AgentKit, the AI ​​Agent framework launched by @coinbase


Judging from the maturity of the project, Allora is undoubtedly a very complete framework that has been used on a large scale.


❚ Real Case


During the 2024 US election, Allora partnered with the AI ​​agent platform Robonet to test a trading agent named Pauly on the prediction market @Polymarket.


Pauly is responsible for strategy and execution by Robonet, and Allora provides reasoning support, coordinating the prediction results of multiple models to provide real-time judgment basis for transactions.


Pauly has remained steady during periods of extreme volatility, including the sudden withdrawal of a major candidate.


In the end, this intelligent agent based on the Allora inference network achieved a return rate of 13.79% in 3 months, which is an annualized rate of 67.65%, which is quite impressive.


I have seen too many AI projects recently, most of which have not been implemented. The problems they are trying to solve and the principles they are based on are described in a very mysterious way. That is why I prefer projects like Allora, which are understandable and widely accepted.


The most important thing is that if you use Allora when writing papers or other occasions, at least you won’t be delayed because of being too ridiculous 🤣
