为何我们构建了一个 P2P 推理网络,而不是另一个 AI API 包装器

📄 中文摘要

随着每月新出现的“统一 AI API”,开发者们面临着依赖少数几家提供商的困境。传统的 API 包装器在便利性上存在局限,一旦主要提供商出现故障或调整价格,用户的服务也会受到影响。为了避免这种锁定效应,开发团队决定构建一个去中心化的解决方案——Antseed,一个 P2P AI 服务网络。该网络类似于 TCP/IP 协议,旨在提供稳定且不可关闭的 AI 推理服务。用户通过本地守护进程作为代理,参与到这一网络中,从而实现更高的自主性和灵活性。

Title: Why we built a P2P inference network instead of another AI API wrapper

With the emergence of new 'unified AI APIs' every month, developers face the challenge of relying on a handful of providers. Traditional API wrappers have limitations in convenience, as outages or price hikes from major providers can disrupt services. To avoid this lock-in effect, the development team decided to create a decentralized solution—Antseed, a P2P AI services network. This network functions similarly to the TCP/IP protocol, aiming to provide stable and unshuttable AI inference services. Users run a local daemon acting as a proxy, participating in the network for greater autonomy and flexibility.
