OpenMind Teams Up with NEAR: Becomes a Flagship Customer of AI Cloud, Embodied Intelligence Accesses Decentralized Computing Power NEAR Protocol just announced the first batch of flagship customers for its NEAR AI Cloud, and OpenMind @openmind_agi is prominently on the list. This is clearly a real-world application of Web3 AI infrastructure. ■ Flagship Integration According to the official announcement, OpenMind @openmind_agi has become a Live Customer of NEAR AI Cloud. Status: OpenMind stands alongside Brave (privacy browser) and Phala (TEE computing) as one of the three core applications supporting NEAR's AI ecosystem. ■ A Decentralized Closed Loop of Computing Power and Intelligence Why is this integration important? Because it addresses the core issues of DePIN: ✅ Decentralized Foundation: OpenMind @openmind_agi's robot operating system (OM1) no longer solely relies on AWS or Google Cloud but runs on NEAR's decentralized cloud. ✅ Data Sovereignty: The perception data and inference tasks of the robots are processed through NEAR's infrastructure, ensuring censorship resistance for the data. OpenMind is building the "brains" of robots, while NEAR provides the "cloud body" to house these brains. This is the most solid narrative combo in the AI x Crypto space.
