Dolphin

Dolphin is a project dedicated to pushing the boundaries of AI model development and distributed inference. Our flagship product is Dolphin Network – A Decentralized AI Inference Network. The goal of Dolphin Network is to allow gamers & other GPU owners to repurpose their GPUs during idle periods by powering a portion of our inference network. By processing a portion of the network’s requests, they are able to earn $DPHN tokens which can later be used for inference or sold on the market to recoup the cost of the GPU. The integrity of the network is upheld through a mix of encryption, randomly sampled validation & cryptoeconomic bonding. We think this is one of the best applications of AI × dePIN as: 1. Demand for AI inference is very high. 2. The supply of idle consumer GPUs is huge, as many people have high-power GPUs sitting idle > 95 % of the time since they only use them while gaming. Many of these GPUs can provide inference speeds & quality levels that would be indistinguishable from centralized servers. Consumer GPU owners own their hardware outright & only need to pay for the electricity cost, making them less price-sensitive compared to commercial operations. We take advantage of this to provide cheaper inference than centralized providers. 3. The connection between demand & supply does not depend on location. Unlike other dePIN networks that depend on the user being in close proximity to the provider, an AI inference consumer can access compute from across the globe, with ping time having a minimal impact on usability. We also develop uncensored & unbiased open source AI models - these are available on our HuggingFace with over >5m monthly downloads. Our AI models are hosted to try in our multimodal Telegram bot @DolphinAI_bot
