The Albany Gazette - Kava AI Launches the World's Largest Decentralized DeepSeek Model - Finally Making Web3 Effortless

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / February 20, 2025 / February 20th, 2025 -In a move set to further rattle Big Tech's stranglehold on AI, Kava today announced a significant upgrade for Kava AI, now integrating the most powerful and fully decentralized implementation of DeepSeek ever released-and it promises to make crypto as intuitive as clicking "send." Conceived to liberate users from the maze of confusing wallets, endless bridging tools, and potential data leaks, Kava AI harnesses the pinnacle of open-source intelligence to transform Web3 interactions into a straightforward chat. For the first time, anyone-from the crypto-savvy investor to the absolute beginner-can type a simple request and watch as advanced AI seamlessly navigates complex transactions across multiple blockchains.

"We've spent years building the rails for cross-chain finance, but it's meaningless if people can't use it without a manual in one hand and a thousand tabs open," said Scott Stuart, Co-Founder of Kava. "Kava AI changes the game. Instead of wrestling with a half-dozen apps, you just say what you want-'Move my tokens to another chain,' or 'Help me swap for a stablecoin'-and the AI handles the nitty-gritty behind the scenes. No friction, no confusion, and no worrying about foreign data centers combing through your personal info."

This ambitious initiative blends unstoppable AI with unstoppable finance. DeepSeek, already championed for its raw power and open-source ethos, has never before been deployed at such an immense scale under the banner of DeAI (Decentralized AI). Because Kava AI is deployed on U.S.-based infrastructure, it guarantees tight data protections while feeding every user prompt through a community-governed blockchain. Forget black-box servers tucked overseas; Kava ensures your data belongs to you, living on a transparent ledger that embraces the original tenets of crypto: trustless, permissionless, and complete user control.

The implications of Kava AI's new DeepSeek integration stretch far beyond simple convenience. Analysts at Bloomberg Intelligence project $1.3 trillion in global AI spending by 2032, while decentralized finance has already accumulated tens of billions in locked value. With this release, Kava positions itself as the vanguard of an emerging era: one where blockchains aren't just for expert coders and "crypto degens," but for everyone-wielding advanced AI that speaks and listens like a helpful guide. Gone are the days of memorizing complicated wallet addresses or Googling "how to cross-chain swap." Kava AI condenses those labyrinthine processes into a single prompt, unlocking the potential of Web3 for millions of curious newcomers who have hesitated at the fringes.

At the heart of Kava AI lies a three-pronged architecture that unifies cutting-edge intelligence with seamless on-chain execution. At the top are AI dApps & Agents, turning casual prompts-"Swap my coins" or "Deploy my NFT"-into precise blockchain instructions. These agents derive their brainpower from deModels, open-source large language models collaboratively refined by a global network of contributors. Completing the stack is dePIN, a decentralized infrastructure grid that supplies the compute muscle needed to handle large-scale AI requests with resilience and censorship resistance. By weaving these layers together, Kava AI sets the stage for a new standard of frictionless blockchain automation-proving that advanced AI can flourish in an open, community-governed environment rather than behind centralized silos.

"Yes, Kava AI tackles everyday crypto headaches, but there's a bigger principle at play which is shared ownership and open innovation," said Scott Stuart, Co-Founder at Kava. "Instead of relying on any one corporation's agenda, we're inviting the entire community to help shape how AI evolves. By opening up the training, auditing, and iteration of large language models, we're working toward a future where user interests, not pure profit motives, define the next generation of decentralized intelligence."

Looking ahead, Kava sees this new milestone for Kava AI as just the starting point for a 2025 roadmap designed to push deAI far beyond its current limits. In Q1, the team has already released a deAI Lightpaper, charting how distributed HPC and "frontier-scale" training can elevate DeepSeek to new heights-without sacrificing openness or user sovereignty. They also deployed Oros, an Agent Layer platform that lets users execute even more complex cross-chain moves using just everyday language. By embracing specialized fine-tuned models and HPC-based infrastructure, Kava intends to prove that fully decentralized AI can match (and even surpass) centralized alternatives in power, performance, and reach-all while providing a user centered experience.
