Akeru.ai is an API platform that offers transparent, safe, and highly available AI capabilities. We strive to maintain a welcoming and inclusive community.

Akeru.ai solves the critical problem of giving developers access to open-source and transparent AI resources. Unlike other platforms, Akeru.ai stands out with its decentralized, open-source nature hosted on an edge network, promising superior UI and UX in the long term.

The Akeru API, currently under development, aims for full compatibility with OpenAI's assistant API. It introduces a range of features designed to enrich applications across platforms:

• Retrieval: Retrieve information or files to enhance response accuracy.
• Function Calling: Perform specific tasks by calling external functions or APIs.
• Conversation Management: Organize interactions into threads for streamlined conversations.
• Custom Instructions: Tailor system functionality with user-defined instructions.
• Data Input Optimization: Ensure data quality for efficient and accurate responses.
• User Privacy: Robust protocols to protect user data and ensure compliance with data protection laws.
• Testing and Iteration: Continuously improve performance through real-world testing and feedback.
• Comprehensive Documentation: Detailed guides and documentation to help users maximize their use of the platform.

• Full Conversations: Engage in detailed, dynamic dialogues.
• Document Processing and Image Generation: Expand the capabilities of your applications.
• Function Calls for LLMs: Integrate advanced AI features into your services.

The Akeru API is ideal for creating AI agents and enhancing web and mobile applications with advanced AI capabilities. (Rate limits and costs are TBD).

• Dynamic Model Popularity Rewards: Miners offering popular models earn more.
• Performance-Based Selection: Validators prioritize high-performing, available miners.

Utilizing a loosely formed hexagonal architecture, the Akeru API integrates with technologies like Bun for backend operations, Redis for data management, and Elysia for web frameworks, ensuring a robust, scalable solution.

While self-hosting options for validators and miners will require specific guidelines, general hosting on platforms like Vercel and through Docker will be supported with comprehensive guides.

Details on how to engage with Akeru.ai as a validator or miner are in development, with full guides forthcoming.
