In the early years of entrepreneurship, I created products related to search and accidentally came across the concept of the Semantic Web (I bought a few books that I still haven't been able to throw away). At that time, it was called Web 3.0. It's been over a decade since Web 3.0 emerged, and the concept has been constantly changing (for the second time, Gavin Wood proposed a new concept of Web 3), but nothing has been realized. Now, agents and MCPs are very popular. Looking back at the books on the Semantic Web that I bought over a decade ago, both agents and MCPs feel familiar. These things have only changed in concept; the technology has advanced. But their origins date back a long time as well.
@PrimeIntellect has identified two directions where decentralized computing power is most likely to land.
Consists of several components: 1) Prime Intellect Protocol, developed based on the base chain, currently in the testnet phase 2) On decentralized computation verification algorithms, did not take the zk direction (possibly unable to be productized and commercialized too slowly in the short term). A TOPLOC was adopted - a local-sensitive hashing scheme for trustless verifiable inference, specific paper https://t.co/DZnhUGyzG7 Plan Introduction: https://t.co/BzWvZzkrW3 3) PRIME/PRIME-RL: Decentralized Training Framework/Reinforcement Learning Framework 4) Decentralized and Aggregated Computing Coordination Platform https://t.co/TYLtlbIB9Y
