Overview

AI represents not only a technology but also a revolutionary force that brings significant changes to society, economy, and technology. However, in the past year, apart from tech giants, few small startups have emerged, indicating that monopolization has become a major trend in the AI field.

On one hand, tech giants like Microsoft, OpenAI, Google, and Amazon have long dominated the development of the AI field. They wield powerful technology, resources, and data, monopolizing the market for AI algorithms and services, thus suppressing competition and innovation in the AI industry. On the other hand, NVIDIA has reaped huge profits by monopolizing the AI computing market. Currently, NVIDIA's A100, one of the most powerful AI computing chips on the market, is priced as high as $40,000 and is in short supply, requiring customers to queue for purchase.

For entrepreneurs, entering the AI field has become more challenging as building AI models requires a significant amount of GPU computing power, which entails substantial financial investment, a burden for most.

The emergence of Web3 provides a new approach to AI computing power allocation—DePIN. By introducing the world's top-performing GPU computing power into blockchain networks, DePIN provides cost-effective computing resources for AI developers.
