The New Paradigm of Bots Built by Combining DePIN and AI

Recently, the topic of the decentralized physical infrastructure network ( DePIN ) combined with artificial intelligence ( AI ) has attracted widespread attention in the industry. This emerging field is known as DePAI and is expected to play an important role in the development of AI.

DePAI can provide AI with "facial features" and "limbs", helping AI better perceive and interact with the real world. Through DePIN devices, AI can obtain more authentic and diverse data, thus developing true embodied intelligence.

The decentralized nature of the DePIN network also helps to distribute the enormous capital burden required for AI development, allowing more small startup teams to participate. At the same time, DePIN can accelerate data collection and evaluation, improving the efficiency of AI development.

In addition, DePAI has opened up new business models for AI Bots. For example, some AI agents can generate income through live streaming, creating a self-sustaining economic cycle.

Despite the broad prospects, DePIN currently holds less than 0.1% of the AI market share, indicating significant potential. Recent data shows that the number of DePIN projects and their market value have both increased dramatically, but they are still in the early stages.

It is worth noting that the total amount of DePIN financing continues to grow, but the number of financing rounds has decreased, indicating that mature projects are scaling up. Institutional investors such as Grayscale have also started to pay attention to representative projects in the DePIN field.

Industry insiders believe that the development of DePIN+AI will make the Bots industry no longer reliant on a few tech giants, but will instead be driven by a global community, moving towards a more open and sustainable direction.
