PIN AI, a pioneering AI infrastructure company, announces $10 million in pre-seed funding to develop the world’s first open-source Personal Intelligence Network (PIN). A16z CSX, Hack VC, and notable investors, including Blockchain Builders Fund (Stanford Blockchain Accelerator), Illia Polosukhin (Transformer paper author; Founder, NEAR Protocol), Anagram/Lily Liu (President, SOL Foundation), Symbolic Capital (Co-Founder, Polygon), Evan Cheng (CEO, Mysten Labs/SUI), dcbuilder (Worldcoin Foundation), Foresight Ventures (parent company of the Block), Nomad Capital, Tim Shi (Co-Founder, Cresta), Ben Fisch (CEO, Espresso), Scott Moore (Co-Founder, Gitcoin), Alumni Ventures, and Dispersion Capital, have backed the project.

PIN AI 是一家領先的人工智慧基礎設施公司，宣布獲得 1000 萬美元的種子前資金，用於開發世界上第一個開源個人智慧網路 (PIN)。 A16z CSX、Hack VC 和著名投資者，包括Blockchain Builders Fund（史丹佛區塊鏈加速器）、Illia Polosukhin（Transformer 論文作者；NEAR Protocol 創辦人）、Anagram/Lily Liu（SOL 基金會主席）、Symbolic Capital（聯合聯合創辦人） 、Polygon）、Evan Cheng（Mysten Labs/SUI 執行長）、dcbuilder（世界幣基金會）、Foresight Ventures（The Block 母公司）、Nomad Capital、Tim Shi（Cresta 聯合創辦人）、Ben Fisch （Espresso 執行長） ）、Scott Moore（Gitcoin 聯合創始人）、Alumni Ventures 和 Dispersion Capital 都支持了這個計畫。

Offering an open-source, web3-enabled alternative to Apple Intelligence, PIN AI’s platform turns smartphones into privacy-focused AI personal assistants. By redirecting profits from users’ data and attention, it empowers users to regain control and monetize their data. The platform leverages personal, contextual data and cryptography, deploying cutting-edge AI models on-device to handle tasks across apps—like shopping, ordering food, wealth management, and interacting with centralized exchanges, DeFi, and prediction markets.

PIN AI 的平台提供了 Apple Intelligence 的開源、支援 web3 的替代方案，將智慧型手機變成注重隱私的 AI 個人助理。透過重新定向用戶數據和注意力的利潤，它使用戶能夠重新獲得控制權並將其數據貨幣化。該平台利用個人情境資料和密碼學，在裝置上部署尖端的人工智慧模型來處理跨應用程式的任務，例如購物、訂餐、財富管理以及與中心化交易所、DeFi 和預測市場互動。

This AI-driven assistant ensures robust privacy and user-controlled data management, disrupting ultra-profitable models of web2 giants, including Apple’s 30% app revenue cut (over $100 billion) and Google’s mobile ads and Android store revenue cuts.

這款由人工智慧驅動的助理可確保強大的隱私和用戶控制的資料管理，顛覆web2 巨頭的超盈利模式，包括蘋果30% 的應用程式收入削減（超過1000 億美元）以及谷歌的行動廣告和Android 商店收入削減。

Davide Crapis, Co-Founder leading Protocol Research, said, “We’re building a movement towards an open-source future where personal AI assistants can work on PIN AI’s platform like smart contracts on Ethereum.” He added, “PIN AI will take back the $100b+ profit from tech giants and return it to users, allowing them to control and monetize their data. Our platform offers access to a wider range of AI agents, developed by the open-source community, capable of handling tasks across popular apps.”

領導 Protocol Research 的聯合創始人 Davide Crapis 表示：“我們正在發起一場面向開源未來的運動，個人人工智慧助理可以在 PIN AI 平台上工作，就像以太坊上的智能合約一樣。”他補充說：「PIN AI 將從科技巨頭那裡收回 1000 億美元以上的利潤，並將其返還給用戶，讓他們能夠控制自己的數據並將其貨幣化。我們的平台提供了對更廣泛的人工智慧代理的訪問，這些代理由開源社區開發，能夠跨流行的應用程式處理任務。

PIN AI’s mission is to foster innovation for personal AI agents by offering access to personal, contextual data that reflects individual users’ needs and preferences. Unlike closed ecosystems like Apple, PIN AI’s open platform connects privacy-protected user data via a Layer-2 blockchain. This enables more flexibility in AI application development without the constraints of traditional, closed systems.

PIN AI 的使命是透過提供反映個人用戶需求和偏好的個人情境資料來促進個人人工智慧代理的創新。與蘋果等封閉生態系統不同，PIN AI 的開放平台透過第 2 層區塊鏈連接受隱私保護的用戶資料。這使得人工智慧應用程式開發更加靈活，不受傳統封閉系統的限制。

Bill Sun, Co-Founder and Chief Scientist, said, “On-device multi-modality models will revolutionize daily life. We are building a personal index for each user to create an on-device model that evolves via distributed training on the user’s phone. Soon, users won’t need to open multiple apps to complete tasks. The personal AI assistant will understand preferences and manage tasks efficiently.” PIN AI's assistant will connect users with apps and services bidding on its blockchain protocol to fulfill tasks like shopping or crypto activities.

聯合創始人兼首席科學家 Bill Sun 表示：「設備上的多模態模型將徹底改變日常生活。我們正在為每個用戶建立一個個人索引，以建立一個裝置上模型，該模型透過用戶手機上的分散式訓練來發展。很快，用戶將不需要打開多個應用程式來完成任務。個人人工智慧助理將了解偏好並有效地管理任務。 PIN AI 的助理將把用戶與在其區塊鏈協議上競價的應用程式和服務連接起來，以完成購物或加密活動等任務。

PIN AI shifts data monetization from big tech to users, allowing secure monetization of personal data. Users receive token incentives through data onboarding and intent fulfillment, only providing necessary data with matched Personal AI Agents, while maintaining control of their information.

PIN AI 將資料貨幣化從大型科技公司轉移到用戶身上，從而實現個人資料的安全貨幣化。用戶透過數據登入和意圖實現獲得代幣激勵，僅向匹配的個人人工智慧代理提供必要的數據，同時保持對其資訊的控制。

At launch, PIN AI partners with Worldcoin and is developing a front-end product similar to Siri, expanding its reach and enhancing user experience.

PIN AI 推出後，與 Worldcoin 合作，正在開發類似 Siri 的前端產品，擴大其覆蓋範圍並增強用戶體驗。

Leading the team are co-founders Davide Crapis and Ben Wu. Crapis, formerly of Ethereum Core Research, leads Protocol Research. Ben Wu, heading Strategy, is an MIT graduate, Y Combinator alum, and serial entrepreneur. The technical leadership includes Bill Sun, a Stanford AI/Math PhD and early Google Brain researcher, as Chief AI Scientist, and Regan Peng, a CMU graduate and former lead at Didi Fintech and Yahoo Data Infra, as Founding Head of Engineering.

領導團隊的是共同創辦人 Davide Crapis 和 Ben Wu。 Crapis 曾任職於以太坊核心研究中心，負責協議研究。策略主管 Ben Wu 是麻省理工學院畢業生、Y Combinator 校友和連續創業家。技術領導層包括擔任首席人工智慧科學家的史丹佛大學人工智慧/數學博士、早期谷歌大腦研究員Bill Sun，以及擔任工程創始主管的Regan Peng（卡內基美隆大學畢業生、滴滴金融科技和雅虎數據基礎設施前負責人）。

PIN AI collaborates with a16z crypto research, Flashbots, Espresso Systems, and academics from Stanford, Columbia, and NYU. Ben Wu emphasized the importance of an open platform, saying, “The open internet has made large language models possible. We need to build an open platform for users on their trusted device, allowing access to their various data, making their Personal AI possible.” Unlike Apple Intelligence, PIN AI’s system can run on low-spec smartphones by dynamically shifting between edge AI (on-device) and server AI to optimize performance, ensuring wide accessibility.

PIN AI 與 a16z 加密研究、Flashbots、Espresso Systems 以及史丹佛大學、哥倫比亞大學和紐約大學的學者合作。吳本強調了開放平台的重要性，他說：「開放的網路使大型語言模式成為可能。我們需要為用戶在受信任的設備上建立一個開放平台，允許訪問他們的各種數據，使他們的個人人工智慧成為可能。與 Apple Intelligence 不同，PIN AI 的系統可以在低規格智慧型手機上運行，透過在邊緣 AI（裝置上）和伺服器 AI 之間動態切換來優化效能，確保廣泛的可訪問性。
