🔥DAOs + LLMs
Open, Decentralized, Community LLMs Powering the Future
Large Language Models (LLMs) will soon become the chat interface to all of the world's knowledge. It’s the first time ever code can understand language and that changes everything.
Right now everyone’s excited about big LLM models like Open AI. In the future, we’ll see millions of small, specialized open source LLMs, trained on insider data and DAOs can play a big role here.
LLMs fine-tuned on specific datasets improve their performance for a particular task or domain. DAOs will enable crowdsourcing of data and feedback in a fast, transparent and unbiased way.
How
DAOs, with their distributed, decentralized, and community driven approach, are perfectly suited for fine-tuning and hosting specialized LLMs.
A DAO could coordinate work around crowdsourcing of diverse datasets, Q&As, and feedback for training and refining the modelÂ
Contributors earn reputation tokens (onchain badges)Â and awarded voting rights based on their contribution levels
DAO members vote on datasets/Q&As to be included, ensuring a transparent and unbiased process.
The DAO generates revenue by charging for access or by building products on top of the model
Imagine a DAO consisting of farmers. They train and perfect a model in their spare time, which others can then access for expert farming tips
OR
A group of pediatricians from around the world could form a DAO to fine-tune an LLM specifically for pediatric medicine. This specialized LLM can then provide guidance on common childhood ailments, developmental milestones, and general pediatric advice.
OR
Regen Network’s recent fine tuning on their data sources and putting it out as an open source repo inviting community to contribute. This is just the start, the future holds endless possibilities for millions of DAOs tuning specialized models for every domain imaginable.
