some of you are gonna ignore Bagel Labs because the name might sound unserious
but what they’re building might be one of the most important unlocks for open-source AI
it’s not just about models it’s about how people get paid for improving them
let’s talk about it 🧵
1/ @bagelopenai is a crypto-powered layer for monetizing open-source AI
train a model, fine-tune one, or drop useful data → you get paid on autopilot
no middlemen no “thanks for your GitHub PR” and nothing else
2/ open-source AI devs usually get farmed for free
Bagel is saying:
“what if we could track every contribution and reward people fairly?”
that’s where their infra kicks in
3/ they call it The Bakery (i know, lol -but listen)
it’s a privacy-preserving compute layer that:
– lets anyone fine-tune models – protects your weights + data – uses ZK proofs (ZKLoRA) to show who did what – distributes rewards fairly
4/ ZKLoRA: the real unlock
LoRA fine-tunes models efficiently Bagel added zero-knowledge proofs so you can prove you contributed - without exposing the model
Although the process is complicated, the outcome is straightforward:
train → prove → earn
5/ real contributors → paid free riders → blocked models → better, faster
It’s open-source with verifiable value flow baked in
6/ and the team isn’t random
founder used to lead ML at Alexa they’ve dropped papers, open-sourced code, and released a model that’s outperforming most LLMs out right now
they’re not waiting on hype just quietly building
7/ and yes they’re building on @0G_labs
Bagel taps into 0G’s storage + zk stack to power the Bakery
it’s not a flashy collab it’s just where infra like this makes sense
8/ Bagel is bringing back collaborative AI without turning devs into free labor
if you care about: – AI x crypto – infra that rewards real work – models that pay back
you might wanna watch the oven
9/ thread’s done.
bookmark it. quote it. ignore it and remember it later.
i’m just here pointing at the real ones who are building quietly, but properly.
