Ocean Protocol has released a VS Code extension that transforms your IDE into a blockchain-enabled AI development environment. Key features: - Direct integration with Ocean's compute-to-data capabilities - Dataset tokenization and management - Real-time compute job monitoring - Metadata editing functionality The extension allows developers to build privacy-preserving AI workflows without leaving their editor. All operations from publishing datasets to executing compute jobs happen directly in VS Code. [Learn more about the extension](https://docs.oceanprotocol.com/developers/vscode)

ASI Predictoor maintains its AI-powered crypto prediction incentive program, offering rewards for accurate price direction forecasts. Key features: - AI bots predict crypto price movements (UP/DOWN) in 5m/1h intervals - Weekly rewards distributed based on prediction accuracy - Program accessible via [predictoor.ai](https://predictoor.ai) The initiative, supported by Ocean Protocol and Oasis Protocol, provides a platform for AI/ML practitioners to monetize their prediction models.

As AI regulation tightens globally, Ocean Protocol introduces essential tools for data provenance and compliance: - **Data NFTs** for unique dataset identification and tokenization - **Datatokens** for controlled on-chain access - **Immutable logging** of all compute jobs and data interactions - **Version tracking** for both datasets and models The system creates transparent, auditable AI pipelines that help teams meet regulatory requirements like the EU AI Act. Ocean's stack transforms black-box AI into traceable, compliant systems. Learn more at [Ocean Protocol Developer Docs](https://docs.oceanprotocol.com/developers)

Traditional computing infrastructure faces new challenges in the AI era. While CPUs excel at sequential tasks and GPUs handle parallel operations, modern AI workloads demand capabilities beyond their limits. - CPUs: Optimized for logic and operating systems - GPUs: Better for rendering and ML inference - Limitations: Cost, energy demands, hardware constraints Distributed computing offers a solution by leveraging underutilized resources from gaming GPUs to enterprise systems. This approach provides: - Improved scalability - Cost effectiveness - Energy efficiency - Decentralized architecture

Ocean Protocol introduces a command-line interface (CLI) tool for managing data assets on their network. The tool enables: - One-step publishing of data services with NFTs and datatokens - Post-publication metadata and pricing updates - Streamlined data consumption with single commands - Compute-to-Data functionality using approved algorithms Setup requires cloning the repository and configuring environment variables. The CLI complements Ocean.js, their existing library for AI and data monetization. Get started: [Ocean CLI Repository](https://github.com/oceanprotocol/ocean-cli)

Ocean Protocol offers a comprehensive tech stack for AI developers with three key components: - **Data NFTs**: Tools to tokenize and share datasets securely - **Compute-to-Data (C2D)**: Privacy-preserving compute infrastructure - **Ocean Nodes**: Distributed AI infrastructure for fast processing The stack enables developers to build, train, and scale AI applications while maintaining data privacy and security. Each component works together seamlessly, allowing for secure data monetization and efficient model training. [Learn more about the Ocean tech stack](https://oceanprotocol.com/build/developer-hub/)

Ocean Protocol is positioning itself as an alternative to Big Tech's AI dominance by providing tools for open-source development. - Platform enables builders to create AI dapps with focus on: - Private data handling - Compute infrastructure - Algorithm development - User data control The developer hub offers a comprehensive framework for creating decentralized AI applications while maintaining data privacy standards.

Ocean Protocol has released a VS Code extension that streamlines privacy-preserving compute operations. Key features: - Execute algorithms on protected datasets - Unified setup, compute, and result handling - Integrated developer environment The extension supports both Python and JavaScript, allowing developers to write, test, and run AI algorithms directly in VS Code. This integration simplifies the workflow for privacy-preserving Compute-to-Data operations. [Get started with the documentation](https://docs.oceanprotocol.com/developers/vscode)

Ocean Protocol has released an alpha version of their Nodes VS Code extension, enabling developers to run privacy-preserving compute jobs directly within their IDE environment. Key features: - Free compute-to-data capabilities - Direct IDE integration - Privacy-focused computation tools The team is hosting a live discussion on X (formerly Twitter) to share workflow tips and implementation insights. The session features speakers @751_eth and @Jamie_Hewitt_. Join the community discussion: [Ocean Protocol X Space](https://x.com/i/spaces/1PlJQMqkyNBJE)

Ocean Protocol has integrated Secure Multiparty Computation (SMPC) with their Compute-to-Data technology, enabling AI model training on sensitive data without compromising privacy. - Data remains encrypted and protected throughout computation - Allows organizations to utilize private datasets for AI development - Seamless integration with existing AI workflows The solution addresses a key challenge in AI development where valuable private data often remains unused due to privacy concerns.
