On April 9, 2024, at the WEB3 Carnival in Hong Kong, the AGI Open Source Alliance ( https://aosa.io ) was officially announced, marking an important milestone in the global artificial intelligence field. AOSA, jointly initiated by Hashkey Group and WSDN, aims to promote the application and development of open source ideas in the field of general artificial intelligence (AGI) and build a win-win ecosystem.
The lighting ceremony of the "AGI Open Source Alliance" was launched, and the guests included HashKey Capital CEO Deng Chao, Hong Kong Cyberport CEO Zheng Songyan, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Legislative Council Member (Technology and Innovation) Qiu Dagen, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Legislative Council Member (Election Committee) Wu Jiezhuang, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Chief Vice-President Guo Yike, CSDN Group Founder and President Jiang Tao, HashKey Tokenisation General Manager Liu Jia, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Legislative Council Member (Election Committee) Shang Hailong, and WSDN President Lu Jian.
Knowledge sharing, collaboration and innovation
The establishment of AOSA responds to the growing global demand for AGI technology and the desire for open innovation. The alliance will use the regulatory framework provided by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) to introduce Web3 incentive mechanisms to the global open source industry, provide financial support for AGI entrepreneurs, and promote the healthy development of AGI technology.
AOSA's vision is to encourage knowledge sharing, cooperation and innovation through open source culture, and to provide an open environment to promote the development of AGI. At the founding ceremony, Jiang Tao, founder of CSDN Group, delivered a speech entitled "AGI Application Chain Evolution from Technical Facilities to Application Layer". In his speech, Jiang Tao detailed the birth of the AGI era and proposed that the emergence of AGI has brought about changes in software from computing paradigm, development paradigm, to interaction paradigm.
"In the past, developers used technology stacks to develop, but in the future, they will use natural language interaction to guide AI to develop," said Jiang Tao. "Therefore, now is the golden age for developers."
Behind the transformation of the AGI application layer is the demand for computing power, which is the original intention of the establishment of AOSA.
AGI’s evolution from technical facilities to application layers
AOSA's mission is to continue to promote the industrial development of open source and open AGI technology and build a cooperative and mutually beneficial ecosystem. The alliance's goal is to strengthen communication and cooperation in the field of AGI, and ultimately promote the healthy development of general artificial intelligence technology and talents by sharing the latest technologies and achievements and discussing future development trends.
The establishment of AOSA also marks the evolution of AGI technology from infrastructure to application layer. As AGI technology continues to mature, its application prospects in various industries are broad. AOSA will support research related to AGI technology, formulate industry standards, organize technical summits and forums, support the education of startups and outstanding young talents, establish an "industry-university-research-application" ecosystem for open source AGI technology in the digital economy, and participate in international and domestic exchanges and cooperation.
Then, Jiang Tao, founder of CSDN Group, emphasized: WEB3, as the representative of the next generation of the Internet, emphasizes decentralization, openness and user sovereignty. Under this concept, the emergence of AGI Open Network is timely. It integrates idle computing resources around the world to provide an efficient and low-cost computing solution for various applications in the WEB3 ecosystem. The core of this network is that it can transform the originally underutilized computing power into valuable services, thereby supporting a wider range of AGI application development and deployment.
Its AGI Open Network can provide stable and scalable backend support for these DApps through its distributed computing power API network, allowing developers to focus on application innovation and optimization without worrying about the constraints of underlying computing power.
Secondly, AGI Open Network provides new possibilities for smart contracts and blockchain services in WEB3. The execution of smart contracts and the maintenance of blockchain networks require a lot of computing resources. Through AGI Open Network, these resources can be allocated and utilized more efficiently, thereby improving the performance and reliability of the entire network.
In summary, AOSA will also promote the development of AGI Open Network, a distributed computing solution designed to make full use of decentralized idle computing resources, such as mining machines, game consoles, and idle computing power of campus institutions. By launching a distributed computing API network, the alliance hopes to make resource consumption valuable, reduce AI computing costs, simplify AI application development, and bring more innovation.
The official establishment of the AGI Open Source Alliance in Hong Kong marks that the implementation of the AI ecosystem in Hong Kong is about to enter a new era. With the joint efforts of alliance members, the application of AGI technology will be more extensive and the speed of innovation will be accelerated.
