what's Pluralis Research?
Pluralis Research develops Protocol Learning, a decentralized protocol for communication-efficient, model-parallel training of foundation models. It enables participants to collaboratively train large AI models across distributed compute resources while minimizing bandwidth usage through advanced optimization techniques. By integrating crypto ownership mechanisms, Pluralis solves coordination challenges in AI development, allowing contributors to align incentives via tokenized shares of models and protocols. This creates open alternatives to centralized AI labs, fostering permissionless innovation in machine intelligence.
Pluralis Research is a B TIER project with emerging momentum in the 2026 AI Agents narrative.
