Launch of Cocoon decentralized AI network by Pavel Durov
Pavel Durov has announced the launch of Cocoon, an artificial intelligence network built on The Open Network (TON) blockchain. This decentralized platform allows users to rent out their graphics processing units (GPUs) for a fee in Toncoin tokens. Cocoon is positioned as an alternative to traditional centralized computing resource providers such as Amazon and Microsoft in order to reduce the cost of processing requests.

Cocoon meets the growing demand for confidential and secure artificial intelligence services. Durov expressed the opinion that new models for working with computing resources are needed to avoid the transfer of personal data to large companies. The platform also plays an important role in the discussion about the risks of centralized AI by offering users more control over their data.
In the coming weeks, the Cocoon team plans to expand its network by connecting new GPUs and attracting developers. Durov noted that Telegram users will have access to additional AI features, which may stimulate further development of technologies in this area.
