DePIN+AI: Building the Intelligent Machine Paradigm of the AI Era

The combination of robotics and artificial intelligence is sparking a technological revolution. However, current AI development mainly focuses on processing surface information such as text, lacking deep perception and understanding of the real world. To address this issue, the integration of DePIN( decentralized physical infrastructure network) with AI is seen as a direction for future development.

DePIN can become the "senses" and "limbs" of AI, allowing AI to perceive the real world in all dimensions and take corresponding actions. This combination is called DePAI and is expected to help AI achieve better decentralization.

How does DePAI promote AI decentralization?

1. Provide more authentic and diverse data

DePIN devices can help AI interact with the real world and obtain more authentic real-time data. This is crucial for training truly embodied intelligent AI and robots. Future data collection for DePIN+AI may include:

• Human operation data: high quality but high cost
• Synthetic Data: Suitable for training in specific domains
• Video Learning: Learn by observing real-world videos

2. Improve capital efficiency and promote decentralized sourcing.

The technology of intelligent robots requires a large capital investment. The DePIN network can decentralize the capital burden, allowing small teams to participate in development. A decentralized development model is more conducive to technological progress than relying on a few large companies.

DePIN has also accelerated data collection and assessment. Decentralized networks can operate in parallel on a large scale, collecting data and improving efficiency.

3. Improve Business Efficiency

DePIN-driven intelligent robots can achieve self-sustainability through decentralized ownership and token incentives. In the future, AI agents may use tokens to pay for human assistance, rent assets, or bid for tasks, forming a virtuous economic cycle.

DePIN Industry Data and Trends

1. DePIN's overall share accounts for only 0.1% of the AI market, with huge growth potential.

2. The financing amount of DePIN has increased, but the quantity has decreased, reflecting the gradual maturity of the project.

3. The Grayscale Q2 report focuses on RWA, DePIN, and IP tokenization.

4. Revenue ranking of DePIN projects in the past 30 days: Helium, Render Network, etc. performed outstandingly.

5. Industry Trends:

• Roam has reached 2.8 million global nodes and plans to launch an incentive mechanism.
• Phoenix collaborates with TandemAI to promote the integration of AI and DePIN
• IoTeX launches a new season of token rewards program
• Helium Q4 data saw significant growth, collaborating with Telefónica to expand into the Mexican market.

6. Financing Information:

• Filecoin DeFi protocol GLIF releases governance token
• Domin Network has received strategic investments from Animoca Brands and several other institutions.

The integration of DePIN+AI has opened up new avenues for the development of robotics and artificial intelligence. Although this field is still in its early stages, its potential is immense and deserves close attention.
