About Arbius
Arbius is a decentralized network for machine learning and a token with a fixed total supply like Bitcoin. New coins are generated with GPU power by participating in the network. There is no central authority to create new coins. Arbius is fully open-source. Holders vote on-chain for protocol upgrades. Models operate as DAOs with custom rules for distribution and rewards, providing a way for model creators to earn income. Arbius is controlled by its users, not monopolized by large corporations and governments. The design of Arbius makes it difficult or impossible to censor usage, allowing for anyone in the world to interact with AI models permissionlessly. AI model owners can now utilize a distributed network of miners and attribute request origins, ensuring high uptime and integrity. By decentralizing the hosting process, Arbius offers a robust foundation for building reliable and transparent AI-driven applications on top of a censorship resistant network.
