Episode notes
Siloed Machine Intelligence
- Current AI models operate in isolated silos, limiting their collective potential.
- Allora aims to create a decentralized AI network where models collaborate and improve together.
Allora Network Architecture
- Allora's network uses "topics" defined by objective functions, like price prediction.
- Models contribute inferences, which are combined based on accuracy, similar to a blockchain consensus mechanism.
Workers and Reputers
- Allora has two types of actors: "workers" who run models and "reputers" who assess model performance.
- Reputers act like a consensus layer, evaluating and scoring worker contributions to collective outputs.
