cortexlabs.ai
A decentralized blockchain platform designed for executing and integrating AI models directly into smart contracts.
About cortexlabs.ai
Cortex is an open-source, peer-to-peer blockchain platform that enables users to upload, execute, and integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) models within a decentralized network. It promotes AI democratization by allowing seamless integration of AI models into smart contracts, facilitating the development of AI-powered decentralized applications (DApps). Cortex addresses the challenge of on-chain AI execution through its Cortex Virtual Machine (CVM) and MRT technology, supporting efficient, deterministic AI inference.
How to Use
Developers can utilize Solidity to craft smart contracts that incorporate AI models stored within Cortex's decentralized storage. AI researchers can upload their models to the platform, earn incentives, and contribute to an open AI ecosystem for building innovative DApps.
