IOST has announced the establishment of the IOST AI Lab, which will be composed of senior research experts in AI algorithms and large language models (LLMs) along with IOST core developers. The lab will explore blockchain + AI-powered Web3 intelligent innovation development and will catalyze the development of the IOST AI subchain. The lab will establish multiple specialized R&D teams to endorse research and development in areas such as large-scale intensive computing, big data training, standardized service models, environmental state perception, computer audiovisual testing, biometric recognition, human-machine interaction models, and machine translation. The AI Native Chain, IOST's AI subchain, adopts a new mechanism called "Proof of Inference" that enables dApps to call deep learning inference in smart contracts, which will be processed by blockchain validators. IOST will offer a comprehensive, diverse, and innovative series of AI products and solutions, including data indexing, NFTs, blockchain gaming, DeFi, AI metaverse, AI DAO, and other popular fields.
