Summary

  • add exploration 0117 on decentralized AI architecture on xNet
  • separate canonical xNet chat and memory nodes from pluggable model backends and routed inference
  • detail realistic peer vs hub deployment tiers, frontier open-weight serving constraints, incentives, security, and composition with search and social

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added new exploration document detailing end-to-end architecture for decentralized AI, including infrastructure design, security protocols, retrieval hardening, and incentive structures for sustainable inference serving.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

A new exploration document outlining a comprehensive end-to-end architecture for decentralized AI on xNet. The document defines rules for storing canonical interaction state as xNet nodes, proposes a tiered inference fabric, specifies data models and security measures, and includes implementation checklists and open questions for future work.

Poem

🐰 A blueprint for minds spread far and wide,
Where inference hops on xNet's distributed tide,
With nodes storing state and clusters humming bright,
Decentralized AI takes flight! ✨

1043-1047: Consider varying checklist sentence openings

Lines 1043–1047 repeatedly start with “Add …”. This is readable but monotonous; quick rewording would improve flow.

♻️ Optional wording polish
-5. Add provider capability descriptors for context size, tool support, structured output, and trust tier.
-6. Add signed model and adapter manifests plus approval flow.
-7. Add policy-aware staged writes for AI-generated mutations.
-8. Add evaluation harnesses for latency, quality, and safety across providers.
-9. Add local model fallback into the workbench and Local API/MCP flow.
+5. Define provider capability descriptors for context size, tool support, structured output, and trust tier.
+6. Introduce signed model and adapter manifests with an approval flow.
+7. Implement policy-aware staged writes for AI-generated mutations.
+8. Establish evaluation harnesses for latency, quality, and safety across providers.
+9. Integrate local model fallback into the workbench and Local API/MCP flow.

- Line 1085: Update the checklist item text that currently reads "Add
confidential-compute aware routing where available" to use the correct compound
hyphenation "confidential-compute-aware routing"; locate the exact string in the
document (the checklist checkbox text) and replace it so the entry becomes "- [
] Add confidential-compute-aware routing where available" preserving the
checklist formatting and surrounding content.
- Line 868: The phrase "high-memory Mac Studio class device" should use a
hyphenated compound modifier; update the text (look for the string "high-memory
Mac Studio class device") to read "high-memory Mac Studio-class device" so "Mac
Studio-class" is treated as a single adjectival phrase modifying "device."
