Modelfi: Harnessing AI and web3 for accelerated growth of AI projects

MagnetAI is set to merge AI and web3 technologies with its new solution, ModelFi, amid growing global interest.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and web3 have been turning heads lately, capturing immense interest worldwide. MagnetAI wants to harness the power of these two technologies and fuse them to create a unique solution called ModelFi.

Before we examine ModelFi in detail, let’s consider the challenges that prompted MagnetAI to develop this new unique solution.

Challenges in the AI industry

Almost all AI projects go through a three-phase development stage called the AI economy lifecycle: the foundation phase, expansion phase, and profit phase. Through each stage, the AI industry faces three main challenges, which the team at MagnetAI identified. These challenges are common to everyone launching in the industry, irrespective of the project they are building.

The first challenge is the struggle to secure funding. AI projects often come with a heavy price tag, and the majority of AI creators struggle to secure funding, which significantly impedes their progress. Competing head-on with giants like Google, Microsoft, and Meta would require a lot of capital.

The other challenge is user participation and ownership. Many users cannot actively participate in AI products or share their ownership. While most projects allow users to improve their user experience, they do not participate in the AI model design, its features, or functionalities. This leads to a disconnect between users and the project. It underscores the absence of a shared economy in the AI sector, where users could both contribute to and benefit from the AI products they use.

There is also a lack of a unified platform that connects AI creators with mainstream users, allowing for ownership trading, model tokenization, chat-to-earn features, and more.

Addressing AI challenges using ModelFi

The MagnetAI team has been at the forefront of AI innovation for over eight years. The company’s product, ModelFi Protocol, is a testament to its passion for fusing AI with web3 technology. ModelFi is a user-centric AI and web3 protocol that provides a new AI economy framework.

The company believes leveraging web3’s unique features to optimize the AI economy lifecycle can keep AI open while swiftly achieving consensus and growth. MagnetAI has developed strategies to address challenges AI creators face at each stage of the AI economy lifecycle, integrated into a three-product matrix called MagnetAI Trinity. Model Store, Model Economy, and Model Network form the three spokes of the MagnetAI Trinity.

Model store

The Model Store is a decentralized AI marketplace. It connects different key players, including agent creators, AI developers, and mainstream users. The store will have different features like PricePerMessage, Revenue Sharing, Chat2Earn, and Follow2Earn. 

Creators can effortlessly deploy AI services verified on the blockchain and reach millions of users via the Model Store. They can generate revenue from subscribed users and capitalize on the future value of AI Models within the Model Economy. Users can explore and interact with a wide range of different AI Agents via an easy to navigate interface.

Model economy

This platform serves as a platform for AI creators to tokenize their models, agents, or bots, helping them to secure funding and incentivizing users. By tokenizing their projects, creators enable participants to share ownership and benefit from revenue sharing, governance rights, and other ownership advantages. This approach facilitates rapid funding and allows stakeholders to capitalize on the future value of these AI projects.

Model network

This framework integrates diverse GPU resources, including traditional Web2 clouds, Web3 GPU sharing platforms, and individual GPUs, into a unified system. By combining these resources across Model SubNets, it optimizes resource utilization and maximizes revenue potential for projects. This robust infrastructure supports MagnetAI’s foundation and enables services to benefit from the ModelFi ecosystem.

Conclusion

MagnetAI’ project enhances openness in the AI industry and harnesses the potency of web3 and AI to grow AI projects. The long-term goal of MagnetAI is to create a platform that allows AI creators and mainstream users to benefit from the new AI economy lifecycle while leveraging the openness, transparency, and trustlessness of web3. This approach ensures that AI remains open-source and develops under global oversight, fostering a continuously thriving and growing AI ecosystem.
