Distributed Architecture
Purpose
To provide a decentralized, permissionless execution layer dedicated to a single, community-governed AI model/service.
The system is designed to survive partial failures and operate without trusted coordinators.
Core Principles
- No single point of failure
- No central authority
- Graceful degradation
- Horizontal scalability
- Single-service scope over general-purpose compute
Key Concepts
- Peer-to-peer coordination
- Task and model sharding
- Redundant computation
- Bandwidth-aware protocols
- Incentive-neutral participation
- Trust & validation for permissionless agents
