Lumerin Announces Launch of Morpheus Mainnet for Decentralized AI Compute

Lumerin —
an
open-source
protocol
and
foundational
layer
technology
using
smart
contracts
to
control
how
P2P
data
streams
are
accessed,
routed,
and
transacted
—
today
announced
the
mainnet
launch
of Morpheus,
a
decentralized
artificial
intelligence
(AI)
network
of
general
purpose,
personal
AIs
called
Smart
Agents.
Lumerin
has
been
instrumental
in
the
development
of
the
Morpheus
mainnet
and
the
Morpheus
Lumerin
node
using
code
that’s
been
battle
tested
for
years.
 The
mainnet
launch
is
a
key
milestone
in
developing
applications
that
use
AI
to
make
Web3
apps
more
accessible,
transparent,
and
efficient
for
consumers
and
businesses
alike.

Why
Decentralize
AI? 

Centralized
AI
models
are
more
prone
to
inherent
biases
and
increase
the
risk
of
censorship
and
monopoly.
Centralized
entities
are
also
more
likely
to
track
and
collect
personal
data
and
queries,
compromising
users’
privacy.
Decentralizing
AI
on-chain
democratizes
access
to
data
and
intelligence
and
ensures
better
transparency
and
accountability
with
open
testing
benchmarks
and
without
the
need
to
rely
on
flawed,
centralized
frameworks. 

“Today
the
world’s
most
powerful
AI
systems
are
being
controlled
by
a
handful
of
big
tech
companies
using
centralized
models,”
said
Lumerin
project
leader,
Ryan
Condron.
“Together
with
our
partners,
we’re
on
a
mission
to
decentralize
AI
compute
and
make
AI
more
accessible
and
equitable
for
communities
around
the
world.
Our
code
contribution
to
Morpheus
represents
a
vision
of
a
future
where
individuals
have
complete
control
over
their
data
and
their
privacy,
free
from
the
shackles
of
censorship
and
corporate
interests.” 

Lumerin
Powers
Morpheus 

The
Morpheus
decentralized
AI
network
more
efficiently
allocates
AI
compute
power
and
enables
users
to
engage
in
a
ChatGPT-like
interface.
Lumerin
has
leveraged
its
advanced
codebase
to
build
the
core
node
software
for
Morpheus,
which
connects
users,
compute
providers,
and
Smart
Agents
in
a
seamless
Web3
ecosystem.
 

Key
benefits
include:

Decentralized
Al
Data
Routing –
Secure,
reliable,
and
efficient
allocation
of
AI
resources
across
the
network
and
within
any
AI
services
marketplace.

Permissionless
Access
to
Personal
AIs
–
Open,
transparent,
equitable
access
to
public
and
private
AI
models.

Censorship
Resistant
–
Democratic
access
to
AI
that
protects
data
and
user
privacy,
including
users’
AI
prompts
that
are
kept
private
and
safely
stored
on
a
decentralized
network. 

AI
Images
with
Multiple
LLMs
–
The
Lumerin-powered
Morpheus
network
allows
users
to
access
a
wide
variety
of
large
language
models
(LLMs)
to
quickly
generate
AI
images
at
low
cost
within
a
single
chat
interface. 

Crypto
Payments
for
AIs –
More
freedom,
better
usability
and
rewards
for
Smart
Agent
providers
using
crypto
payment
rails. 

AI
Marketplace –
A
highly
cost-effective,
accessible
two-sided
market
for
AI
services
where
users
and
AI
service
providers
transact
directly.

Live
on
Arbitrum,
Lumerin’s
first
use
case
is
the
world’s
first
peer-to-peer,
decentralized
marketplace
for
trading
Bitcoin
hashpower.
Lumerin
is
currently
being
leveraged
to
decentralize
