1/ Thread on what I think it’s one of the most under-the-radar projects in the market: $FLOCK 🧵 >> @flock_io became the first & only decentralized AI integrated by @Alibaba_Qwen, Alibaba’s LLM (the GPT to OpenAI, the Claude to Anthropic). This is not an empty partnership, like Flock simply using Alibaba Cloud or integrating Qwen models. Instead, Qwen is building models and training on Flock’s infrastructure for decentralized privacy-first AI. Some alpha: >> Qwen’s 2.5 on-edge version is being trained with FLock, and will sell directly to industry use cases, like hospitals, financial institutions, and other sectors where data privacy is of outmost importance. In their own words: "This marks the first deployment of a decentralized AI agent model within a major centralized AI ecosystem".
