A discussion with Nick Emmons (Allora) and Himanshu Tyagi (Sentient) examining different approaches to coordinating AI development through decentralized networks. Allura focuses on coordinating multiple models to achieve specific objectives, while Sentient works on open-source model development and value attribution through cryptographic techniques.

Key topics include:

- The evolution from Twitter bots to sophisticated AI agents in crypto

- Different approaches to model coordination and incentivization

- Technical deep-dive into Open Monetizable Loyal (OML) models

- Trust verification and cryptographic solutions for AI deployment

- The complementary roles of model aggregation and model development

- The intersection of crypto infrastructure and AI trustworthiness

- Future implications for decentralized AI development

The conversation explores the relationship between AI model development, cryptographic systems, and economic incentives, examining how different projects approach the challenges of building coordinated AI systems.

"I think crypto networks are fundamentally means of turning different nebulous resources into more kind of tangible digital commodities." — Nick Emmons, Allora
