AI Has Hit Its Limits — but it's access, not algorithms
Connect the world's distributed intelligence
We are building the open infrastructure that connects independently governed data and models into more powerful AI - while honoring the intentions, restrictions, and value of every asset.
What is the limit of AI?
The internet's data is running out. Data access is collapsing behind paywalls, legal constraints, or shifting policies. Alongside it, a vast majority of valuable information — medical, financial, scientific, cultural — remains distributed, siloed, and likewise, out of reach for AI systems to access.
Missing bit: Attribution-based control
In today's AI workflows, contributions flow in — but intent doesn't.
There's no built-in way for data or model owners to say: "This is what my asset is for. This is how it should (or shouldn't) be used." and for users to ask: "Who contributed to this result, and do I trust them?".
Attribution-based control is the missing, shared mechanism.
Without this, we see familiar failures: biased results, misinformation, misuse — not because AI is inherently harmful, but because it lacks the ability to coordinate intent across distributed actors. This, however, is a solvable problem.
AI as a singular information channel
AI as a communication device
One modular stack: Network-Sourced AI
infinite ways to build equitable AI
The NSAI Protocol facilitates attribution-based control and supports a live network of data owners, model owners and an open gateway to those who seek insights.
Federated RAG
Search and combine knowedlge from multiple data owners, under their terms.
Model Ensembling & MoE
Combine insights from multiple models, under their terms.
Fully Distributed
Unified Access
Each owner can expose either a chat and/or a search endpoints, following OpenAPI spec.
Interoperable
Reachable from anywhere through HTTP or syftRPC, with data and models serveable from any local machine, cloud, third-party service or storage.
Achieve New Goals Together
When distributed knowledge can be safely connected through attribution-based control, AI becomes more than just a tool, it becomes a platform for collective progress in science, society, and beyond.
