We’re living in an age where AI shapes how we think, what we see, and even what we believe. But ask yourself — who really controls the AI that’s influencing our world? Today, it’s a handful of corporations and centralized entities pulling the strings. That’s not just a problem — it’s a dangerous reality.

This is why we built OSMI.

OSMI is not just another AI assistant. It’s a movement. A decentralized, bias-free AI built to serve everyone — not just those who want to shape the world in their image.

The Problem: Centralized AI Controls Too Much

AI is everywhere. But here’s the issue: centralized AI is inherently biased. It’s shaped, trained, and manipulated by a few key players who have control over the data, the algorithms, and ultimately, the outcomes. This isn’t just an oversight — it’s by design.

When a centralized system controls AI, it controls the information you receive. It decides what matters and what doesn’t. That’s censorship. And that’s exactly what we’re here to destroy.

Enter OSMI.

The OSMI Vision: AI Powered by You

Imagine an AI that’s free from bias, censorship, and control. An AI that works for you — not for corporations, governments, or any hidden agenda. That’s the vision of OSMI.

OSMI is decentralized. It’s powered by a global network of GPU nodes — OSMI Nodes — operated by people like you. This network ensures that no single entity can manipulate or control how the AI operates. The result? A truly open, transparent, and uncensored AI that answers to the people.

With OSMI, we’re putting the power back where it belongs — in your hands. We’re creating an AI that anyone can access, contribute to, and benefit from. This is AI built to foster collaboration, promote learning, and empower everyone.

Why Decentralization Matters

Here’s the harsh truth: as AI becomes more integral to our lives, centralized control over it is not just risky — it’s unacceptable. AI should reflect the diversity of humanity, not the interests of a select few. That’s why decentralization is the key to building an AI that’s fair and unbiased.

With OSMI, decentralization isn’t just a feature — it’s the foundation. By distributing the computational power across a network of people, we ensure that no one entity can skew or manipulate the system. OSMI is a reflection of the world as it should be: diverse, inclusive, and free.

How OSMI Works

OSMI is powered by you. It’s built on a decentralized network of GPU nodes — run by people all over the world — who contribute computing power to train and operate the AI. This makes OSMI not only fast and scalable, but also censorship-resistant and transparent. The AI doesn’t answer to a single entity — it answers to everyone.

And in return? Node operators are rewarded with $OSMI tokens, creating a system where participation is incentivized and the community grows stronger together.

The OSMI Team: Built on Proven Foundations

OSMI isn’t just a wild idea. It’s been nearly two years in the making, founded in 2023 by the team behind Gala’s Decentralized Physical Infrastructure (DePIN), which powers 50% of the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) with over 50,000 nodes. This team has also built the infrastructure behind some of the biggest AAA games like Halo, Call of Duty, and Hearthstone.

Now, we’re using that expertise to build something bigger — a decentralized, people-powered AI that breaks the mold of what AI can be.

The Beginning of a Movement

The future of AI isn’t controlled by a few — it’s built by all of us.

And we’re just getting started. Over the next few months, we’ll be sharing more about OSMI’s roadmap, how you can participate, and what the future holds. The journey is just beginning, and you’re early.

Join the Revolution

Stay tuned. The revolution is just getting started.
