Its a decentralized AI bot based on volunteer computing and decentralized, federated learning.
You can find it under: @myceliumweb@techhub.social. It will recommend songs when you post under #babyfungus. You can also insert your own songs. Happy home-grown ai!
What’s it good for ?
Well, big tech has big computers, the Fediverse doesn’t, but we have many small one. That’s why its a good idea to combine them.
This has already been done for example by projects like SETI@home or FOLDING@home.
My idea is to build a web based on this idea.
There is a good video on federated, decentralized AI training here: https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/seminars/wednesday/video/20241127-1500-t221089.html
What about the chat UI, is that decentralized too?
The idea is that every fungi-node also has a UI, yes. So you would be able to browse the AI models - for example if you chat with bot A, and the bot is currently learning with bot B and C, those bots would be visible to you and you could open their UI, too. And it should also show bots with which it trained earlier, too.
This way you could “browse” the resulting AI web via the browser.
