Introduction
Mainet is a decentralized federated learning protocol that enables anyone to participate in creating and training personalized AI models. With Mainet, users can run Authorizer Nodes (aNodes) to validate data quality or operate Training Nodes (tNodes) to offer model training services. This open and inclusive approach democratizes AI development and creates a vibrant ecosystem for collaboration and innovation.
Key Components:
Authorizer Nodes (aNodes): Ensure data integrity and quality for training. aNodes validate and authenticate data provided by users or gathered from various sources, ensuring it meets the required standards for model training. They offer services like data preparation, curation, labeling, and quality assurance.
Training Nodes (tNodes): Provide computational resources for model training. tNodes list their hardware specifications and hourly rates (in $MAI tokens) on the Mainet marketplace. Users can select suitable tNodes based on their requirements and budget, paying them for the computational resources consumed during model training.
Economy: Users pay aNodes and tNodes for their services using $MAI tokens. The platform fosters a decentralized, market-driven ecosystem where aNodes and tNodes set their own rates based on their capabilities, specializations, and demand for their services.
User Experience:
Users browse the Mainet marketplace to find and engage aNodes for data preparation and validation services, paying the listed fees in $MAI tokens.
For model training, users compare tNode offerings, including hourly rates, hardware specifications, and reputations, selecting the most suitable tNode(s) for their needs.
Users pay the engaged tNode(s) directly based on their listed hourly rate and the total training time.
Node Operator Experience:
aNode operators list their data services (preparation, validation, etc.) on the marketplace, specifying fees in $MAI tokens and highlighting their expertise and specializations.
tNode operators set up their computational resources and create marketplace listings with hourly rates in $MAI tokens, hardware details, and training capabilities.
Both aNodes and tNodes optimize their listings, offer competitive rates, and build strong reputations to attract users and earn revenue based on their services.
Mainet empowers individuals and organizations to actively contribute to and benefit from the development of cutting-edge AI models. By leveraging a decentralized network of nodes and a self-sustaining economy powered by $MAI tokens, Mainet creates a globally accessible and inclusive ecosystem for AI innovation.
