what's Bagel?

Bagel is a decentralized AI platform focused on enabling open-source, monetizable AI models through cryptographic mechanisms. It addresses limitations in traditional neural networks by promoting transparency and accessibility in AI development, particularly for agentic systems that mimic human reasoning. The project emphasizes building tools for gamers and creators in the metaverse, leveraging blockchain for secure, permissionless innovation. Key innovations include the Paris model, the world's first decentralized trained open-weight diffusion model, named after Paris as a symbol of creative refuge. Bagel's approach integrates cryptography to unlock economic incentives for open-source contributions, fostering a collaborative ecosystem where AI models can be trained and deployed without centralized control.
