I’m calling us the “AI Agent Mafia" and this is significant because these founders are collectively building the foundational infrastructure needed for truly autonomous, economically self-sustaining agents. Rather than competing, their tools are complementary and interoperable,…
gm gm 🌱 In this video I cover: - what is gaia? - how to get your own API Key and get Developer Free Trial Credits - how to run your own gaia node - how to use either API Key /pubic gaia domains (just swapping them instead of open ai API) - how to use your local gaia node in…
🚨 EXCITING NEWS ALERT 🚨 Applications are open: The Gaia Guardian Program is live! Help build a world where AI is open, transparent, and owned by all, not locked inside corporate clouds. Applications for the Gaia Guardian Program are now live 🧵⏬ gaianet.ai/guardians
Learn all about building smarter AI Agents with our CTO @sydneylai and @Ramkumartweet of @OpenledgerHQ tomorrow at 1130 am EST! Come with questions 🧠 Space 🔗 x.com/i/spaces/1rmxP…
Remember AMZ's Mechnical Turks? The audacity to pay $0.01 for human labor, that's some L2 tx rate. This is how image recognition and tagging was trained back in the day.
OpenAI has 500M users. If we estimate $0.07 per query, OpenAI is spending an estimated $175M per day on inferencing. Let that sink in.
made this visual analogy to show how MCP allows for composability and interoperatbility in our DeAI context

Vitalik just dropped a piece on why privacy is matters: The TL;DR? - AI is getting smarter - Surveillance is just getting sneakier - And you? You’re the product—unless you take back control. his central points: "Whoever has the information has the power"
South Korea 🇰🇷 is asking the right questions about AI. Who owns the models? Who profits? Who decides what the future looks like? So naturally, Gaia is heading over to Seoul to join that conversation. If you're curious about what decentralized AI looks like in practice, please…
Louder please!
Hot off the press 🔥 By providing often free, collaborative access to AI tools, open source AI intends to democratize innovation by fueling faster breakthroughs and more creative applications of AI 🔽 gaianet.ai/blog/why-every…
Yo @me256ow, you dropped this 👑 DeAI is about making powerful AI accessible, not gated by centralized giants that grab your data. Check out this guide to building on Gaia: earn compute, deploy agents, start experimenting. Most importantly, have fun building.
Speaking of which, here are our very own @HarishKotra's top 5 fav LLMs 🔽🔽🔽 Treat yoself, buildoooors!
Psssst check out our amazing library of LLMs by the even more amazing Gaia community 🧠🫶 🔗 gaianet.ai/llm-library
blah blah blah agents. ya It’s hard to conceptualize AI completing tasks for pay$, so @hellomother_ai built a Minecraft AI environment to show how AI can complete tasks and get paid. We’re building AI to do work for us, Tim Ferris said 4 hour work week 🌴 Let’s see how this…
