What is DeAI and Why Should You Care? If you’ve ever felt uneasy about how a few corporations control today’s AI, you're not alone. DeAI—Decentralized AI—is an emerging field that seeks to open-source not just the models, but the very infrastructure, incentives, and ownership of intelligence. In this article, we break down the philosophy, tech, and future of DeAI, based on a powerful thread by @yb_effect. The age of AI monopolies is coming to an end. Welcome to the swarm. by YB (@yb_effect) | Summary Thanks to @yb for this great presentation. Made a summary and tg post for Russian speaking community

1. "This feels like crypto in 2019 all over again." Decentralized AI (DeAI) is a movement that reimagines how AI models are trained, owned, and operated. Much like how Bitcoin decentralized money, DeAI aims to decentralize intelligence. 2. Three Forms of AI Closed-source AI (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini) Open-source AI (e.g., LLaMA, DeepSeek) Decentralized AI (e.g., Nous, Prime Intellect) The question isn't "Which one wins?"—it's how they coexist. 3. Why DeAI Matters Cost: Traditional training requires $millions in GPUs and data centers Legal: Data compliance varies globally Trust: Open source can disappear overnight Customization: Fine-tuning should be accessible to all 4. Philosophical View "Open-source on the internet doesn't mean open-source in AI." Models published by Meta or DeepSeek are still dependent on centralized sponsors and can be discontinued at any moment.
