📢Introducing the latest Ocean Shipyard grantee:
@AlgoveraAI🛠

The project is kickstarting the AI creator economy with grants and tools for decentralized #AI development.

Scroll for more in depth details ⬇️

@AlgoveraAI is lowering the barriers to entry for AI projects at all stages of development by developing Metahub, an open AI marketplace on top of Ocean Protocol for data scientists to monetize their models without losing ownership of what they create.

The goal → to have a suite of tools and a supportive community that would allow data scientists to streamline the development of their AI projects.

Among Metahub’s benefits are:

a. connecting companies with freelance data scientists
b. models sovereignty
c. monetisation functionalities available
d. enables anyone to easily run C2D with 3rd-party compute providers & MLOps frameworks such as Azure, Airflow & Kubeflow.

The monthly $10,000 OCEAN grant by Ocean Shipyard will give Algovera the initial resources to bring the value of #decentralized AI marketplaces and compute infrastructure to the broader #ML community.
