HADRON.cloud: Decentralized AI Marketplace - The Real Blockchain AI

in leopad •  6 years ago 

The Hadron ICO is addressing one of the few use-cases in blockchain that almost every talking-head in the industry agrees upon. While there have been several decentralized computing plays so far, the Hadron advantage may be their specific focus on the AI marketplace. If, as expected, the global market for machine learning and artificial intelligence expands dramatically… and if, as expected, a decentralized network can lower costs dramatically… then Hadron would seem to be at the confluence of two highly advantageous business drivers. High demand and low cost have been the factors behind some of the largest companies in the world - and even national economies. Hadron may be in a position to leverage these, if the technical solution is strong enough and AWS doesn't get there first.
What is the Hadron project?
Hadron is building a market platform (artificial intelligence) for human and physical enterprise functions. It connects the application to the account and tasks with a large group of users and devices to effectively get the organization's tasks.
Using decentralized computing, the project aims to provide a 90% cheaper AI computing than existing cloud providers.
On the Hadron platform, anyone with web browsers can remove artificial intelligence without complex mining programs. An example of an artificial intelligence task is to classify unsafe images of work, mark up images, and control quality.
Since users already have the hardware (computer or phone) at their disposal, the cost of running Hadron on their devices is very low, allowing Hadron to sell services to customers at a very competitive price.
Unlike inactive mining devices, users can also earn income by participating in tasks in the market. For example, users can help train AI models in a game-like interface.
In addition, Hadron will also work on the development of blockchain for the workforce, which allows billions of workers to perform work on HADRON (pressure, presentation, artificial intelligence, etc.) without causing congestion on the blockchain. The blockchain will enable the Hadron platform to expand to an unlimited number of tasks simultaneously and operate in an unreliable and stateless manner.

Hadron ICO Strengths and Opportunities
The alpha version of the Hadron AI Marketplace dashboard is currently live, and has so far received 300k signups to test the distributed computation system for rewards. Over 800 million images have been processed by test miners running the module.
With a working alpha and user base to test the mining, Hadron have produced a core component of their product that serves the dual function of demonstrating product viability and building an initial user base.
For more information on how to sign up as a test miner, please visit the Hadron Telegram channel.
The team's previous success with Fanpop not only lends credence to their ability to build and scale a product; their work on producing a native AI module for image classification laid the groundwork for the development of Hadron.
After finding other AI-based photo recognition services were too expensive, the team built their own, using Fanpop as a sandbox for development. With their own AI product in hand, the team have exploited image recognition as a strategic starting point for testing Hadron Workforce.
Hadron ICO Weaknesses and Threats
In the realm of competition, Hadron are up against the likes of Clarifai and Amazon, among other established industry players. Hadron propose their platform offers several competitive advantages to these giants, which the team aims to leverage in their bid to onboard customers.
Firstly, Hadron estimate the cost of training AI on the platform to be 10x less expensive than competitors. By utilizing user devices for compute power, there is no need to recoup the costs associated with maintaining data centers and hardware upkeep that enterprises must factor into their pricing.
Secondly, Hadron aim to outcompete centralized cloud service providers through the very scale of the user base itself. Because the actual computation happens on worker devices, their decentralized framework has the potential to create a massive pool of computing power that surpasses existing providers.
While these prospects are tantalizing, they are of course no guarantee for success. The prospect of drastically cheaper compute power at a massive level is contingent on the technical viability of the platform and the strategies Hadron choose to scale.
Scaling usage of the AI Marketplace cannot happen without strong enterprise partnerships. With an actual alpha product to show to potential enterprise customers, Hadron are well poised to attract the interest of those seeking an alternative to the current AI training services available on the market at present.
While we have received information efforts are underway at securing enterprise partnerships, Hadron have yet to make any official announcements on this front.
The Verdict on Hadron ICO
The Hadron ICO offers one of the most exciting projects targeting the AI market in the blockchain space. The team's ample experience scaling mass consumer products and building distributed systems fits the bill for such an ambitious project.
With the release of the alpha AI Marketplace, the project has not only reached an important technical milestone but managed to garner interest from a significant number of prospective users. We will be watching the Hadron ICO closely, particularly for any news on noteworthy partnerships, which would further increase our confidence in the project.
