In an exclusive interview with Karan, co-founder of Mira Network, key aspects of the platform's creation and operation are discussed, aimed at simplifying AI access for developers.
About Mira Network and Its Founders
Mira is building decentralized infrastructure to universalize access to AI advancements. It has developed a novel crypto AI primitive called a Flow, which combines AI models, data, and compute resources with instructions to solve specific tasks. Flows act as building blocks for AI applications, reducing the development and maintenance efforts involved. Developers can use Flows through Mira’s Flow Market, and API revenue is equitably attributed and redistributed to contributors of such Flows, models, data, and compute resources via the Mira Chain. Mira was founded by a team of seasoned entrepreneurs and investors from Accel, Uber, Amazon, Comcast, Stader Labs, and others, raising $9M in funding from investors like Framework, Bitkraft, Accel, Folius, Crucible, and Mechanism. More than a dozen teams are already building AI applications using Mira Flows across various sectors including crypto, gaming, SaaS, and consumer apps.
Mira's Vision: Democratizing AI
Mira aims to be the premier destination for developers to discover unique AI implementations for their products, businesses, and communities. The platform offers sustainable monetization opportunities for AI contributors to distribute their skills at scale. Unlike Web2 marketplaces, Mira’s platform supports sovereign ownership of AI Flows as well as transparent attribution and settlement for value flows in the network. Every stakeholder knows what they are paying for and how they are monetizing their skills. Mira also uses crypto primitives like Proof of Stake to ensure trusted and accurate discovery of the best Flows for each use case, giving evaluators significant incentives to rate Flows objectively.
Platform Functionality and Developer Incentives
Mira’s API marketplace allows developers to easily integrate AI capabilities into their applications by providing access to pre-built AI services, which can be used via standard requests. Developers can select from a range of functionalities, such as question answering or data analysis, and integrate them quickly. The platform is user-friendly, secure, and scalable, allowing developers of all skill levels to enhance their projects with advanced AI features. Mira also leverages blockchain technology to secure AI models and resource allocation through economic security and Proof of Stake evaluation networks, ensuring fair and transparent attribution and settlement. The platform incentivizes participation by enabling monetization for both contributors and developers, enhancing the ecosystem with quality contributions and innovative developments.
Mira Network offers unique opportunities for developers and contributors, simplifying access to advanced AI technologies through decentralized infrastructure and a fair reward system utilizing blockchain solutions.
