In addition to the traditional ecosystem of dApp developers, users, and miners, Cortex brings a new player into the ecosystem: AI developers.
Cortex has put forth a mechanism that incentivizes AI developers to store models on the blockchain. This creates an ecosystem for individual AI developers to monetize their AI models on the blockchain where dApp developers have access to the best AI models in the world and have the freedom to choose from. The competition within the ecosystem between AI model providers will naturally lead to the evolution of better and better AI models.
