Ben Fielding & Harry Grieve: Gensyn – The Deep Learning Compute Protocol

Episode Summary

We are joined by the project's co-founders Ben Fielding and Harry Grieve, to talk about their protocol, the focus and vision of Gensyn, and various trade-offs to bring Machine Learning compute power to the mass.

Episode Notes

Artificial Intelligence is a fascinating field that has made tremendous development over the past few years. From GPT-3 to Dall-e and Stable Diffusion, the vastness of the scope of applications for AI and neural computing is becoming clearer than ever. At the base layer, there is a need for decentralized p2p AI compute platform that provides flexible access to the wider public. Gensyn sets out on the mission to provide just that by building a market place protocol for AI compute - ultra-low cost, hyperscale, permissionless.

In today’s episode we are joined by the project's co-founders Ben Fielding and Harry Grieve. We take a deep dive into the current landscape for AI and AI compute, the reasonings and trade-offs in building Gensyn, the protocol’s focus and edge cases, and how the protocol is utilizing the blockchain technology as both incentive layer and credibly neutral platform.
