About the Sahara AI Project Analysis
The reason for focusing on this project is that its investors include Binance Labs, Polychain, and Pantera, among others.
The most straightforward understanding is that Sahara is an all-in-one AI tool, which includes a blockchain (Sahara Chain).
So what does this all-in-one AI include:
A data labeling platform that allows users to collect, refine, and label datasets and receive incentives.
What is data labeling?
The data labeling process is used to identify raw data (images, text files, videos, etc.) and add some information tags as context, for example, you are human, and then looking at a picture of a bird, you write down to tell the AI that this is a lark.
A data tokenization platform that allows users to upload datasets, register on-chain, and mint an ownership NFT to complete the provenance of data and AI assets.
Why tokenize data?
For example, if you have some ready-made data, such as previously discussed human DNA sample data, others can purchase or rent this data to directly train specialized AI, while tokenization is to ensure rights, allowing one's data to generate profit.
An AI deployment platform that enables developers to launch their AI using various data from the above.
Thanks to various open-source projects, current developers no longer need to research neural networks and algorithms themselves; they can directly use existing models, such as DeepSeek, and then feed in different data to train vertical domain AI. Therefore, Sahara also plans to provide corresponding GPU and CPU computing power services.
An L1 blockchain, namely the Sahara Chain. The various links in the all-in-one process mentioned earlier, such as trading data assets and AI assets, will most likely occur on this chain.
Many years ago, the industry had a dream that every platform would have its own chain, and now it seems to have been basically realized. The virtual machine of the Sahara Chain is EVM, and the development component is Cosmos SDK; it appears to be a standard PoS chain. Although its token has not yet been issued (but public offerings are coming soon), one can imagine that one of the important roles of the token is as GAS fees.
Therefore, this so-called one-stop AI development, from data labeling to AI models and then to GPU computing power, brings together four major components, forming the basic framework of Sahara AI @SaharaLabsAI.
