Pavel Durov introduced Cocoon – decentralized network for launching AI
Telegram head Pavel Durov spoke at the Blockchain Life conference in Dubai and presented his new project called Cocoon there. And this is an attempt to challenge big corporations’ monopoly on AI.
Cocoon – this is one decentralized and confidential computing network. The main idea behind product creation is that all the largest AI-based solutions belong to big corporations and are controlled by them. Cocoon should become fully decentralized. “According to Pavel and his team’s vision, neither governments, nor regulatory bodies, nor large companies will have influence on it”.
Cocoon should allow developers worldwide to launch both full-fledged neural networks and AI-based solutions. Without having their own infrastructure – like an expensive server base, for example. And without help from large centralized corporations like OpenAI.
How will Cocoon work? Owners of powerful graphics cards will connect to the Cocoon network. And developers of AI-based applications will use their capacity. And graphics card owners will be able to earn from this.
Pavel announced that all data in the Cocoon network will be encrypted, meaning no one will see which specific requests are being processed and by whom exactly these requests are made. Which essentially makes this network confidential. Launch of the Cocoon main network is planned for November.

AI chatbots generate content that exacerbates eating disordersA joint study by Stanford University and the Center for Democracy and Technology showed a disturbing picture. Chatbots with artificial intelligence pose a serious risk to people with eating disorders. Scientists warn that neural networks hand out harmful advice about diets. They suggest ways to hide the disorder and generate "inspiring weight loss content" that worsens the problem.
OpenAGI released the Lux model that overtakes Google and OpenAIStartup OpenAGI released the Lux model for computer control and claims this is a breakthrough. According to benchmarks, the model overtakes analogues from Google, OpenAI and Anthropic by a whole generation. Moreover, it works faster. About 1 second per step instead of 3 seconds for competitors. And 10 times cheaper in cost per processing 1 token.
