- Decentralization and open-source principles are essential for AI development
- Real-time data access is critical for LLM functionality
- Current data creation exceeds 3 petabytes daily
- Masa's infrastructure has processed over 1 billion data records
Masa is building decentralized data infrastructure to support this vision of open AI systems. The platform aims to provide real-time data access for AI agents and applications.
