Proprietary became a dirty word because AI ownership has been solely defined in the bounds of profit-maximizing entities with archaic incentive structures. We live in a world where blockchains are already allowing people to own their data and to freely move their data between applications but why does intelligence remain siloed in walled gardens of large corporates instead of scaling on networks?

We can do better and we stand on the shoulders of AI pioneers such as Yann LeCun and Francois Chollet who are on our side.

As stakes get higher with AI advancements, we are at a crossroads -

Accept a future where AI models from closed source labs become the norm or humans become shareholders in the sovereign AGI we all help create. The choice is ours.

Liberating intelligence

Reppo network enables model developers to become true owners of their IP - owning, governing, and monetizing their intelligence and the products their models and agents power. With Reppo, builders earn ownership in the models they contribute to and the value flows back to them as well as to the users wh0se data, hardware, and infra they borrowed, to transform these ingredients to address problems that matter to them, often collaborating with peers who share their values and worldview. We believe AI systems should be built using distributed governance.

Reppo enables a builder-owned network combining a global state that we call ModelRivet, and local states which we call Reppo Pods. Each pod is owned by its members rather than a centralized entity and has principles of sovereignty embedded in the technical design.

Reppo’s global state allows infra-builders to contribute data, compute, proof generation etc. in a permisionless manner. There is no partnerships team that an infra provider needs to talk to. Simply stake to access the Reppo Demand Engine.

Path to sovereign AGI

Reppo’s local states i.e. the Reppo Pods harness the power of the global state to build domain and intent specific inference engines to address user-needs, while actively contributing to global governance. Pods come together to form “clusters” around common goals such as addressing climate change, progressing BCI, advancing AI security and other areas where AI/ML is actively transforming workflows.

Reppo is not just challenging the empire state of mind to create AI, but also proposing a new kind of economy where machine intelligence actively benefits from human intelligence and vice versa. We don’t believe we are ready now, or will ever be, to hand over the keys to our destiny to AI systems being built by a handful of people.

Reppo exists to offer pathways where many cultures, ideas, approaches, and opinions can be actively represented in AI systems, by giving those who don’t always voice their concerns, but to whom ownership and liberation still matter.

Who builds your AI matters.
