# Vision & Mission

### **Vision**

At Cortensor, our vision is to democratize artificial intelligence through a decentralized, community-powered network of inferencing nodes and infrastructure. We aim to provide the critical last mile of AI delivery and integration, ensuring universal access to advanced AI tools and capabilities.

We are building a robust AI inferencing infrastructure by utilizing a network of community and commodity hardware, balancing workloads across low and high-end devices. This approach optimizes resource utilization, making AI accessible for everyday applications without relying solely on specialized or high-end GPUs. By leveraging community and commodity hardware, Cortensor ensures that AI is more cost-effective and accessible to everyone, every day.

Additionally, we leverage open-source models to enhance accessibility and foster a collaborative innovation environment. Our long-term vision includes expanding beyond AI inferencing to encompass synthetic data generation and generalized task and job management. Furthermore, we will develop L2/L3 blockchain for AI inferencing data and related data hosting, such as embeddings or data sources needed for AI agents, while ensuring communities are properly incentivized and share in the revenue. Future AI agents will utilize the blockchain to orchestrate processes and create a marketplace for AI agents with proper incentivization.

We plan to expand into areas such as fine-tuning open-source data models with watermarks and creating a marketplace to monetize models developed by the community, driving further innovation and providing additional revenue streams for contributors.

Cortensor envisions a future where AI is seamlessly integrated into every aspect of daily life, powered by a decentralized network that fosters innovation, inclusivity, and shared success. Through community collaboration and equitable access, we aim to revolutionize AI technology and its applications, paving the way for a smarter, more connected world. We aim to create an open-source platform with the functionality of industry leaders like OpenAI and Huggingface, but in a decentralized manner that is powered and governed by the community, accelerating AI innovation and driving rapid development through incentivized contributions.
