Talus x Assisterr: Empowering Community-Owned AI with Nexus
We're excited to partner with Assisterr, the leading platform for open-source, community-owned Small Language Models (SLMs). Through this collaboration, developers can use SLMs, combined with Nexus, the first fully onchain agentic framework, to deploy specialized Talus agents for advanced applications.
Nexus Meets Community-Owned Models
Nexus, the world's first framework for fully onchain autonomous AI agents, is changing how DeAI applications are built. Nexus enables Talus Agents to operate, interact, and perform actions directly on the Talus Network, providing trustless, transparent, and efficient methods to automate processes and execute tasks.
Assisterr specializes in simplifying the creation, maintenance, and support of community-owned SLMs. Compared to LLMs, SLMs are more resource-efficient, cost-effective, and easier to deploy. They excel in task-specific optimization and low-resource environments, making them ideal for applications where speed and cost are critical.
Together, we're creating a powerful synergy where Talus developers can access community-owned SLMs to drive the development of specialized agentic use cases.
Key Partnership Benefits
- Enhanced Model Diversity for Nexus: Talus developers will be able to leverage Assisterr's range of community-owned SLMs to power their Talus Agents, expanding the capabilities of Talus-powered applications.
- Cross-Platform Agent Deployment: Talus Agents will be made accessible through Assisterr's model store, increasing their visibility and potential user base.
- Democratized AI Development: By combining Talus's tech stack with Assisterr's focus on community-owned models, we're creating more opportunities for individuals and small teams to participate in and benefit from AI advancement.
- Specialized Talus Agents: Developers can create highly specialized Talus Agents by utilizing Assisterr's customizable SLMs, tailoring AI capabilities to specific use cases while maintaining the advantages of onchain operation.
- Expanded Nexus Ecosystem: This partnership enriches the Nexus framework by introducing a new source of diverse, community-driven AI models, fostering innovation in DeAI applications.
Advancing the Agentic Economy
Assisterr and Talus are both dedicated to delivering a best-in-class developer experience. With Nexus, teams can leverage combined SLMs on Assisterr to deploy hyper-specialized DevRel agents, finely tuned using technical documentation, developer feedback, and community insights. These agents can efficiently manage a variety of DevRel tasks, including technical support and developer onboarding. Key benefits include:
- Significant Cost Savings: Automating developer onboarding frees up the team to focus on high-impact tasks.
- Enhanced Documentation: Agents identify and highlight gaps in technical documentation, leading to continuous improvement.
The collaboration between Talus and Assisterr represents a significant step towards realizing the agentic economy - a future where networks of AI agents work together to perform tasks autonomously for users. By integrating community-owned SLMs with Nexus we're expanding the possibilities for creating efficient, adaptable, and user-centric DeAI applications.
Mike Hanono, Founder and CEO of Talus, shares the vision:
"Our partnership with Assisterr aligns perfectly with Talus's mission to democratize AI and build the agentic economy. By integrating community-owned SLMs with our Nexus framework, we're empowering developers to create more diverse, specialized, and efficient DeAI applications. This collaboration is a crucial step towards a future where AI serves the many, not the few, directly on the blockchain."
Nick Havryliak, CEO and co-founder at Assisterr AI, says:
“We’re thrilled to partner with Talus to bring community-owned AI models into the Nexus framework. By combining the power of Assisterr’s Small Language Models with Talus’s onchain agents, we’re empowering developers to create specialized, cost-effective AI solutions that are both scalable and accessible. This collaboration marks a major step toward democratizing AI development, enabling anyone to build and benefit from decentralized, autonomous systems.”
