Discussion on the Composability of DeAI: When Will the Moment of Synergistic Eruption for AI Layer 1 Arrive?

The current DeAI track is in the early exploration stage of "clear division of labor but insufficient collaboration."

After reading this report on AI Layer1, you will find that the current DeAI track is in an early exploration phase characterized by "clear division of labor but insufficient collaboration."

Each project has its own entry point - Sentient focuses on model loyalty, Sahara AI focuses on data rights confirmation, Ritual optimizes computing power distribution, Gensyn solves AI training challenges, Bittensor builds incentive networks, and 0G focuses on storage infrastructure.

This development model of each operating independently, while promoting the diversification of technological innovation, also exposes a core issue: decentralized AI has yet to find a true combination standard.

Just like the various early DeFi protocols developed independently until liquidity mining and composability matured, leading to an ecological explosion, AI Layer 1 is also waiting for such a Lego synergy moment to drive the arrival of the main bullish wave.

The composability of DeFi is relatively simple—it revolves around the flow of funds, and the standards are relatively uniform. However, AI involves four dimensions: data, models, computing power, and storage. The technical standards, validation mechanisms, and incentive models for each dimension are different, making it more challenging to achieve unified composability.

I believe that the moment of collaborative explosion belonging to AI Layer 1 may come from two directions: either a certain project becomes larger and stronger and establishes de facto standards (for example, the subnet model of Bittensor has already shown this trend), or a dedicated "inter-protocol protocol" emerges specifically to solve the interoperability issues between different AI Layer 1s.
