Proof of Training (PoT): Harnessing Crypto Mining Power for Distributed AI Training
share
In the midst of the emerging trend of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) with crypto mining, we identify three major challenges that create a gap between these two fields. To bridge this gap, we introduce the proof-of-training (PoT) protocol, an approach that combines the strengths of both AI and blockchain technology. The PoT protocol utilizes the practical Byzantine fault tolerance (PBFT) consensus mechanism to synchronize global states. To evaluate the performance of the protocol design, we present an implementation of a decentralized training network (DTN) that adopts the PoT protocol. Our results indicate that the protocol exhibits considerable potential in terms of task throughput, system robustness, and network security.
