OORT Vision: Enabling Trustworthy AI for Humanity
Since 2023, artificial intelligence technologies and products such as ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, and OpenAI's SORA have begun profoundly impacting our daily lives. Despite their significant influence, public understanding of how these systems collect, use data, and potential biases remains relatively limited.
Given that AI primarily learns by analyzing data from specific groups, this process may inadvertently introduce bias. Therefore, using diverse datasets during development is crucial to ensuring fairness and inclusivity in the technology.
As AI becomes increasingly integrated into our lives, trust in these technologies becomes paramount. This trust, much like human relationships, requires time, understanding, and interaction to build. By interacting with AI, understanding how it operates, and ensuring its processes are based on fair and accurate data, we can develop deeper confidence in its capabilities. Adopting an approach that emphasizes transparency and diverse contributions is essential for creating reliable AI systems that benefit everyone.
As we continue exploring these technological advancements, OORT’s goal is clear: to build a trust-based ecosystem where humans and AI can progress together and share in mutual prosperity.
OORT's Mission
OORT is a privacy-preserving and cost-efficient decentralized cloud. By integrating global computing and storage resources, OORT empowers trustworthy AI solutions.
OORT promotes a new way of AI development—open and transparent across every critical stage, including data collection, preprocessing, model design, training, fine-tuning, and deployment. OORT encourages everyone to participate in these stages, aiming to break down the traditional "black box" perception of AI. Through shared understanding and collaboration, we deepen our comprehension of the AI creation process. Our goal is to make AI development more transparent and inclusive, building trust through active participation and collective contribution.
How Centralized AI (CeAI) Works
Let us first examine the current centralized AI workflow. Companies like OpenAI and Google operate in a highly centralized manner, using their own data centers and executing opaque processes within their AI solutions. Users lack visibility into how each stage of AI development is carried out and what data is used to train and fine-tune these models.
How Decentralized AI (DeAI) Works
In contrast, OORT leverages blockchain technology to redefine each stage, as illustrated below.
Data Collection
Users can easily contribute data via personal devices such as laptops and smartphones through the OORT platform and receive rewards in return.
Data Preprocessing
Using OORT Compute, data preprocessing occurs directly on users’ devices—such as smartphones and PCs—ensuring data privacy. The processed data is then uploaded to the decentralized cloud, and the hash of the uploaded data is stored on the blockchain to ensure traceability and tamper resistance.
Model Design
OORT allows and encourages community members and institutions to co-design open-source AI models, enhancing innovation and accessibility.
Model Training and Fine-Tuning
Thanks to decentralized servers, OORT Compute offers cost-effective model training and fine-tuning.
Model Deployment
AI models are deployed directly on personal devices such as smartphones and PCs, enabling offline usage and safeguarding user data privacy. This allows users to access AI tools anytime, anywhere, using the resources of their own devices.
OORT’s approach to building a decentralized AI ecosystem stands out due to its transparency and reliability. Unlike isolated, siloed systems, OORT is built on a community-driven process—created by everyone, for everyone. This approach invites individuals not just to observe, but to actively contribute to AI advancement, ensuring it can be understood and shaped by diverse voices.
OORT Products
OORT offers three flagship products:
Integrating global storage servers from Seagate, Tencent Cloud, and others, OORT Storage provides a decentralized object storage solution with performance comparable to Amazon AWS S3, reducing costs by up to 60%.
OORT Compute
By aggregating user devices—including smartphones, tablets, and PCs—OORT Compute delivers AI data collection and preprocessing services, ensuring data privacy while significantly lowering costs. OORT Compute will launch in 2024!
OORT AI provides comprehensive, trustworthy AI solutions for enterprises and individuals, deployable directly on user devices.
Additionally, OORT’s decentralized cloud infrastructure consists of two core components: OORT Edge and Olympus Protocol.
OORT Edge is OORT’s edge node specifically customized for AI data computation and storage. By purchasing the edge node device—Deimos—individuals can easily become contributing nodes within the OORT network.
Olympus Protocol is OORT’s self-developed, open-source Layer-1 blockchain. Its technical details and performance theoretical proofs are available in the Yellow Paper. Olympus connects devices worldwide that join the OORT network—including public clouds, private clouds, smartphones, computers, and more. Its patented Proof-of-Honesty (PoH) consensus algorithm (link) ensures all nodes honestly complete assigned tasks and optimizes resource allocation across the network in a decentralized manner.

OORT’s Positioning in the AI + DePin Landscape
Within the competitive landscape of AI + DePin, OORT stands out from a unique perspective. Some projects focus solely on AI data, such as Filecoin; others on AI model training, like Gensyn; and some on model algorithms, such as Bittensor.
While OORT can deliver AI data storage services similar to Filecoin and model training capabilities akin to Gensyn, our key advantage lies in our strong emphasis on the real-world deployment and application of edge AI. By connecting devices with limited computing power—such as smartphones, tablets, and PCs—into the network, OORT enables transparent data collection, preprocessing, and model deployment while preserving user privacy. This dedicated focus on edge AI establishes a solid foundation for realizing a trustworthy future with AI.
