Building an open, fair, and collaborative artificial intelligence economy

Sahara AI is committed to creating a more open, fair, and collaborative artificial intelligence economy, allowing the general public to easily participate. By leveraging blockchain technology, Sahara ensures that all contributors (including data providers, annotators, model developers, etc.) receive fair compensation, while safeguarding the sovereignty of data and models, ensuring the security of AI assets, and allowing the creation, sharing, and trading of related rights.

Current Overview of the Artificial Intelligence Technology Stack

The current artificial intelligence technology stack can be divided into the following levels:

1. Data collection and annotation: Collect data from various sources and annotate it according to specific tasks.

2. Model training and service: Input data into the model and adjust internal parameters to minimize errors. This process is usually time-consuming and costly.

3. Creation and deployment of artificial intelligence agents: Typically requires tools like TensorFlow and a high level of technical expertise.

4. Computing resources: Model training requires expensive processing power.

Although Web2 companies are striving to improve these aspects, they face serious limitations due to their centralized design. These companies tend to restrict access and isolate various parts of the technology stack, leading to different security standards, database designs, backend integrations, and monetization strategies. This design struggles to cope with the shift in the economic model of artificial intelligence.

Sahara's Artificial Intelligence Collaborative Economy

The Sahara platform provides one-stop services for the entire artificial intelligence lifecycle, covering everything from data collection and annotation to model training and services, as well as the creation and deployment of artificial intelligence agents, multi-agent communication, artificial intelligence asset trading, and the crowdsourcing of artificial intelligence resources. By democratizing the artificial intelligence development process and lowering the entry threshold of existing systems, Sahara AI offers equal access to individuals, businesses, and communities, collectively shaping the future of artificial intelligence.

In the Sahara AI ecosystem, the entire process of artificial intelligence assets from creation to usage to achieving user stickiness is recorded. All transactions within the platform are immutable and traceable, ownership is protected, and asset sources are documented in detail. This supports a transparent and fair revenue-sharing model, ensuring that developers and data providers receive appropriate compensation for generating revenue.

Sahara's User Base

1. Senior Artificial Intelligence Developer: Can interact with any layer of the Sahara blockchain and its AI technology stack using the Sahara SDK and API.

2. Artificial Intelligence Development for Beginners: By using no-code/low-code environments, you can create and deploy AI assets through intuitive interfaces and pre-built templates.

3. AI Training Participants: Users can earn tradable tokens as rewards by completing AI training tasks.

4. Artificial Intelligence Users: Easily use artificial intelligence agents through an intuitive user interface, with flexible options to purchase access rights and licenses for further development, and even trade shares of artificial intelligence assets.

5. Enterprise users: can create their own artificial intelligence agents, train them using proprietary data, and benefit from the cost advantages brought by decentralized artificial intelligence agent generation and services.

Technological Innovation

The Sahara team has incorporated multiple innovations into the system design:

• Sahara Blockchain: Minimizes gas fees to the maximum extent, fully compatible with EVM, and achieves secure, permissionless cross-blockchain data transfer through the Sahara Cross-Chain Communication (SCC) protocol.

• Sahara AI-Native Precompiles (SAPs): Precompiled smart contracts designed to optimize the performance of artificial intelligence tasks.

• Sahara Blockchain Protocols (SBPs): Manage artificial intelligence assets and ensure accountability.

• Data management: Conducted in a combination of on-chain and off-chain, optimizing data retrieval, security, and availability.

• Collaborative Execution Agreement: Supports the joint development and deployment of artificial intelligence models across AI training, aggregation, and services.
