Terms & Concepts
  • Decentralized AI infrastructure: A distributed system for hosting and running AI services without relying on a single centralized operator.
  • Verifiable inferences: AI model outputs that can be independently checked or proven, helping confirm that computations were performed as claimed.
  • Cryptographic proofs: Mathematical proofs generated with cryptographic methods to verify the authenticity or correctness of data or computation.
