On May 23, the Solana Foundation, a non-profit organization committed to preserving and advancing the layer-1 Solana blockchain, declared that it has incorporated artificial intelligence via a ChatGPT plugin developed by Solana Labs. According to the developers, the ChatGPT plugin is now obtainable for download from Github, and it will facilitate the comprehension of Solana data and protocols, as well as the presentation of data concerning Solana’s computing infrastructure and DeFi projects.
The present capabilities of the plugin encompass the procurement of nonfungible tokens (NFTs), the transfer of tokens, the examination of transactions, the interpretation of public account data, and the identification of NFT collections based on their floor price on Solana.
According to Anatoly Yakovenko, the co-founder of Solana, each developer who is constructing apps intended for consumers should contemplate how their application will be engaged with through an AI model. This is because it represents a new paradigm for instructing computers on what actions to perform.
The Solana Foundation has further declared its intention to augment the funding for grants that explore the interdependence of the Solana blockchain and AI, increasing the amount to $10 million from its initial commitment of $1 million. The developers have stated that the rolling grants program has already received 50 applications.
Furthermore, the Solana Foundation has initiated a three-month-long accelerator program intended for university students. The program comprises a complete cohort that is experimenting with blockchain and AI. The developers have stated that the program has garnered hundreds of applications from projects and contributors. The AI cohort has already produced an ask Solana U chatbot, according to the developers.
Hivemapper introduced AI Trainers within its ecosystem last month. These AI Trainers have the ability to transform real-world images into high-quality digital maps that contain comprehensive details pertaining to speed limits, warning signs, and other street-related information. Following this development, Solana’s developers have asserted that protocol contributors have commenced 5.7 million AI training reviews, with 500,000 objects achieving consensus.
