Episode notes
INSIGHT

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.
INSIGHT

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.
INSIGHT

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.
