Mission

To accelerate the adoption of decentralized AI

General Tensor was built because the world needed an alternative. Centralized AI concentrates power in the hands of a few corporations. We identified the Bittensor network as a leading decentralized alternative to the Big Tech oligarchy.

Problem

AI has the power to control the hearts and minds of billions of people around the world. Centralized AI is a black box. It is profit maximizing, extractive, opaque and controlled by a handful of frontier labs.

Solution

Decentralization is our highest chance of building benevolent AGI. Incentivizes are aligned with the end user, not corporate profits. It rewards quality output, drives performance, and democratizes the ownership and power of AI to billions of people.

Thesis

Learning from critical past
technological revolutions

Technological revolutions are spurred by the mass production of key resources. This lead to commoditization of goods and services. We are optimized to produce the core inputs of the Intelligence Revolution.

Industrial Revolution

Core inputs of the industrial revolution were Oil, Steel and Railways. This lead to the commoditization of machinery, and eventually the commoditization of goods.

Winner

JP Morgan: Vertically integrated the core inputs, owned the means of production and owned the transportation network.
