According to Telegram founder Pavel Durov, the decentralized confidential computing network Cocoon has already launched, which will result in expanded functionality for Telegram itself.
As Durov reported in his post, «the first AI requests from users are already being processed by Cocoon with 100% confidentiality,» and GPU owners are already earning TON cryptocurrency.
«Centralized providers like Amazon and Microsoft act as expensive middlemen, driving up prices and reducing privacy. Cocoon solves both the economic and privacy problems associated with legacy AI computing providers,» Durov advertised his new product.
The Telegram founder announced scaling: in his words, over the next few weeks they will attract more GPUs and generate more developer demand for Cocoon.
«Telegram users can expect new AI-related features built on 100% privacy,» Durov made another promise.
Telegram founder Pavel Durov first announced the launch of a new decentralized network, Cocoon (Confidential Compute Open Network), which will use AI and the TON blockchain, in October of this year.
At the time, it was reported that the network would be supported by GPU miners, who would receive rewards in Toncoin (TON), and Telegram would provide the project with «demand and hype.»
It was also announced that software developers will gain access to inexpensive AI tools, while ordinary users will be able to use artificial intelligence anonymously.
Durov previously responded to an investigation by journalists who claim that Telegram uses infrastructure controlled by the FSB.
