v0.4.1 of RL-Swarm is out! - Smoother startup UX (no longer relies on .bashrc) - Improved bootnode stability - Better memory usage via shorter prompt lengths - Bug fixes for on-chain reward submission Get it here: github.com/gensyn-ai/rl-s…

the next generations will watch glamourised cyberpunk movies about the GPU smugglers of the 2020s tech-augmented rogues living half in cyberspace and half in the real world, doing anonymous deals in encrypted chatrooms whilst navigating legacy borders by land, sea, and air

Guess who I got to hang out with today? Big thanks for making time — Ben Fielding (also thanks for the keycaps Chloe 🤩) Let's #jointheswarm

the problem with centralised AI is that it solves infra problems with physical solutions not digital we're moving fossil fuels, electricity, and hardware around when we could move algorithms and data to truly scale AI we need a new wave of digital logistics - decentralised AI

who wins the AI race long term? the company shipping oil and gas to the 30+ generators that power their multi-gigawatt datacentre or the open and decentralised software that ships tensors across rapidly improving internet connectivity (Nielsen's Law)

I want to be a homesteader in cyberspace growing my own neural nets and trading activations in my local neighbourhood (gossip network) I don't want to buy mass-produced, identical GMO (ideological bias) activations covered in pesticides (censorship)

big AI models in datacentres are factories not stores we're buying directly from the factory by using their APIs and chat products soon, we'll run models locally with an ecosystem of connected apps - they'll have knowledge from the factories but execute and improve everywhere

decentralised AI infra leads to optimal energy usage by handing the optimisation process to market forces right at the bottom of the supply chain much like how bitcoin mining began to proxy energy markets themselves, the same will happen for AI through decentralised infra

the gensyn Testnet is still accelerating >56k on-chain accounts >6.7M on-chain transactions >45k decentralised models trained through RL Swarms >5.5M downloads on HF base models and we're only in Phase 0 - there's much more to come

the <a href="/gensynai/">gensyn</a> Testnet is still accelerating

&gt;56k on-chain accounts
&gt;6.7M on-chain transactions
&gt;45k decentralised models trained through RL Swarms
&gt;5.5M downloads on HF base models

and we're only in Phase 0 - there's much more to come

been talking about this with Greg Osuri 🇺🇸 deAI Summer 2025 for a very long time - glad to have gensyn nodes running on Akash Network now reminder: anyone can run a node, no whitelists and no centralised signups, just decentralised training

people ask for a roadmap of what's next for gensyn but our goal has been out in the open for anyone to see for a long time these were recorded over a year ago, in Feb 2024 (+ writing back to 2021) execution, communication, verification, coordination - open and decentralised

why keep all of the data as tokens? real ideal: local models compress your life into param space and are held by you on-device, securely and privately OAI can provide reasoning models that interact with the local models but they don't need your whole life in tokens lol

there are some misconceptions about what's actually happening in different decentralised training runs RL Swarm isn't just distributed rollout generation, it's gossip-based learning where the communication itself is a training objective the models learn to reason AND talk
