DecideAI launches its GPT-2 LLM on Internet Computer

AI-focused startup DecideAI has reached a major milestone with the full on-chain implementation of its major language model GPT-2.

DecideAI announced on August 28 that its GPT-2 LLM has been deployed on the Internet Computer (ICP), a step that brings a decentralized approach to training, maintaining, and deploying AI. Decentralized AI eliminates the pitfalls that threaten centralized AI development, the startup said in a press release shared with crypto.news.

Why Internet Computer?

Launched by the DFINITY Foundation, the Internet Computer is a blockchain and web3 platform that enables developers to build and run decentralized applications entirely on the blockchain. This approach eliminates the need for centralized IT infrastructure, such as cloud computing services from major technology providers.

DecideAI uses this decentralized ecosystem to democratize access to AI model training and deployment.

Key features of the Internet Computer include a virtual machine that uses WebAssembly to support floating-point numbers and deterministic SIMD, enabling parallel computing. DecideAI will also leverage ICP native AI optimization.

“Today, the Internet Computer is the only blockchain capable of running a large LLM entirely on-chain, providing enough memory and processing power to sustain a 100% decentralized AI.”

DecideAI to Expand Ethereum and Solana

In particular, the launch of the GPT-2 LLM on ICP opens AI models to the benefits of interoperability, transparency, and blockchain security. In the future, DecideAI will extend AI models to Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) by also leveraging Internet Computer’s Chain Fusion technology, which allows for protocol-level blockchain integration.

DecideAI’s implementation of the GPT-2 large language model on the Internet Computer will be powered by the web3 initiative’s native token, DCD.
