in
its
decentralized
AI
platform
and
broader
ecosystem
for
August
2024,
according

AGI
Supercomputer
Update

In
late
July,
SingularityNET
announced
a
$53
million
investment
to
further
the
development
of
Artificial
General
Intelligence
(AGI)
and
Artificial
Superintelligence
(ASI).
The
first
phase
will
allocate
half
of
this
investment
to
create
the
world’s
first
modular
supercomputer
dedicated
to
decentralized
AGI
evolution
and
disruptive
ASI
research.
This
supercomputer
will
utilize
Ecoblox’s
ExaContainer
modular
data
center
solutions,
incorporating
advanced
GPUs
and
CPUs
from
Nvidia,
AMD,
and
Tenstorrent,
and
AI
servers
from
ASUS
and
GIGABYTE.
The
first





node
of
this
supercomputer
is
expected
to
come
online
in
September,
with
the
first
phase
completion
anticipated
by
the
end
of
2024
or
early
2025.

Collaboration
With
BNB
Chain

SingularityNET
has
announced
a
collaboration
with
BNB
Chain
to
revolutionize
the
blockchain-based
decentralized
data
economy.
This
partnership
aims
to
integrate
SingularityNET’s
AI
infrastructure
with
BNB
Greenfield
storage
infrastructure
and
enhance
the
Internet
of
Knowledge
initiative.
Future
plans
include
integrating
the
AI
Platform
with
BNB
Smart
Chain
to
strengthen
multi-chain
capabilities,
unlocking
new
opportunities
for
collaboration
and
innovation
across
multiple
blockchain
ecosystems.

OpenCog
Hyperon
RFPs

The
Deep
Funding
team
has
launched
a
new
decoupled
process
for
Request
For
Proposals
(RFPs),
starting
with
the
release
of
the
first
five
OpenCog
Hyperon
RFPs.
This
initiative
aims
to
streamline
the
RFP
process,
enabling
SingularityNET
and
its
partners
to
effectively
outsource
critical
tasks
to
the
community.
These
RFPs
are
designed
to
deliver
concrete
value
to
both
the
decentralized
AI
Platform
and
the
Hyperon
project,
fostering
meaningful
contributions
from
the
ASI
community.
