A dedicated 15% of the total token supply is set aside for rewarding contributors and funding AI projects. You also have governance rights for all of our future development plans.

    If AIxBlock is open-source, how do you ensure security and privacy for enterprises?

    Enterprise users have access to a private version of AIxBlock that runs on their own infrastructure. Unlike the open-source version, the enterprise edition includes dedicated security enhancements, private hosting, and priority support to ensure compliance with corporate privacy policies.

    Will my enterprise version be affected by community-driven updates?

    No. Enterprise deployments remain fully private and separate from the open-source development branch, ensuring stability, security, and customization without unexpected changes.

    Can enterprises request custom features or integrations?

    Yes. Our enterprise edition includes dedicated support, priority feature development, and custom integrations to fit business needs. You don’t have to rely solely on the open-source roadmap—your version can be customized to align with your security and operational requirements.

    Are there any hidden fees or charges?

    Absolutely not! We even don't auto renew your subscription package. 

    How does the platform ensure the privacy and security of my data?

    AIxBlock prioritizes security and privacy. We offer you the option to run this platform on your own infrastructure with full privacy and security control. Your data and model will never leave your infrastructure.

    What types of pre-trained models does AIxBlock support for API inference?

    AIxBlock supports almost all types of foundation models across computer vision, ASR, and LLMs, covering a variety of use cases.

    Can I call API endpoints for both open-source and proprietary foundation models on AIxBlock?

    Yes, AIxBlock supports both open-source and proprietary foundation models. For proprietary models, contact us for additional support. Open-source models from hubs like Roboflow or Hugging Face can be easily integrated by providing some basic information.

    Which pre-trained models are currently available on the AIxBlock decentralized marketplace for inference endpoints?

    AIxBlock’s decentralized marketplace offers a wide range of popular pre-trained models, including:

    • Computer Vision: YOLO, SAM, DinoV2, Detectron
    • ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition): MMS from Meta, SeamlessM4T from Meta (ASR with translation for 110+ languages)
    • LLMs (Large Language Models): Bloom, Llama, Qwen2, Mistral

    The list is updated continuously with newest versions of each model.

    What types of compute resources does AIxBlock provide for running inference tasks?

    AIxBlock allows you to use your own compute resources or rent from our decentralized compute marketplace, which offers an on-demand pricing model for flexibility and cost efficiency.

    Are the models on the marketplace free or paid, and how are they priced?

    Models brought by AIxBlock are free to use. We brought almost all popular foundation models from Meta, Mistral, Alibaba, Huggingface, etc. For models provided by sellers, pricing depends on the model and is typically based on a rate per hour. Please check individual listings for details.

    What are the pricing plans for using pre-trained models and compute resources on AIxBlock?

    AIxBlock's model marketplace has two cost components: models and compute resources.

    • Using a free model with your own compute is completely free.
    • Using a paid model with your own compute requires paying the model seller directly at the listed marketplace price.
    • Using a free model with rented compute involves paying the compute cost that you will pay compute providers directly as listed on the marketplace.

    How do I become a compute supplier?
