NEW YORK, New York, May 7th, 2024/Chainwire/-- Spectral is excited to announce its participation in Hugging Face's Expert Support Program. Spectral is collaborating with deep learning experts from Hugging Face to advance open-source models, datasets, and applications for the Onchain Agent Economy. How To Use Hugging Face Hugging Face plays a critical role across Spectral's organization. Through the Expert Support Program, Spectral regularly meets with the Hugging Face team to plan new use cases, strategize dataset construction, and develop training strategies. Earlier this year, Spectral launched Syntax, which is composed of a fine-tuned LLM orchestrator that routes queries between several tools, including search, Foundry, and an open-source model to generate Solidity code. Building Syntax required custom datasets for both finetuning and RAG, an original Solidity evaluation dataset written by elite smart contract developers, and experimentation across a wide range of open and closed-source models. Spectral's approach to dataset preparation, training, routing, and evaluation has drastically improved during this process, largely due to help from Hugging Face experts. Regular discussions on Spectral's approach mean that the company always receives impartial feedback on its decisions and can reevaluate its strategy as needed. This was important for both the finetuning and evaluation steps, which have now gone through several rounds of improvement thanks to the Hugging Face team. Spectral also relies on Hugging Face for inferences in production through dedicated Inference Endpoints. The fully managed infrastructure allows Spectral to iterate on new models quickly, easily update container and hardware configurations, autoscale with demand, and keep production costs low. Over the coming months, Spectral is excited to continue to open-source its work with onchain datasets and models that interact onchain through Hugging Face. Users can view Spectral's training dataset for the credit scoring challenge and follow its progress here. The Onchain Agent Economy Syntax is pioneering the accessible onchain Agent Economy, inviting users to select agents tailored for their specific tasks. Users can either interact with the foundational agent to generate solidity code or opt for one of the specialized agents, each adept in distinct tasks. For example, we recently launched Syntax MoonMaker, an agent that launches a memecoin project end to end and are soon launching Syntax- TestMachine, an agent that detects vulnerabilities in your smart contracts. Many such agents are currently in production, and upcoming releases of our product will allow users to create their own agents and monetize them on the Syntax network. This system relies on a vast suite of functions available to language models, open-source models for tasks like classification and image generation, fast and reliable blockchain infrastructure, and a trustless system to execute and verify each step. To solve these problems, we've begun developing the Inferchain, optimized to serve the rapidly growing demand for agents and verifiable inferences. Hugging Face Users Joining The Onchain AI Community The importance of open collaboration cannot be overstated. Like many other projects, Spectral would not exist without the work of open-source contributors. Spectral is greatly indebted to everyone who makes this work possible and believes this positive impact should be recognized. As part of this engagement, Spectral is focusing specifically on users powering the AI community. The top individual and small organization contributors on Hugging Face, measured by likes and downloads of their models and datasets, are eligible to register to claim a share of SPEC tokens starting the week of May 6th. Users can check eligibility by signing in with their Hugging Face account here. A snapshot of activity was taken last month, and eligible users will not need an existing wallet to claim. This airdrop is designed to recognize users for their critical work and enable new functionality for the next generation of AI tools. Criteria Spectral reviewed all individual contributors from organizations with less than 10 members that published models or datasets. From these, Spectral took a combined measure of activity from likes and downloads for both models and datasets. Then, Spectral identified the users with the most combined activity from both model and dataset publishers (11298 in both categories) which resulted in a final list of 20,004 unique huggingface users. Spectral is looking forward to engaging further with the open-source community and building the future of AI x web3! https://claims.spectrallabs.xyz/ About Spectral Spectral, a pioneer of the agent economy behind Syntax, is at the forefront of integrating AI with blockchain to democratize development in Web3.

Today I’m going to tell you about the Ryder Ripps Bored Ape Yacht Club… Remember, in the , I promised I would write a separate piece about it? previous story about the Bored Ape Yacht Club Well, here it is! The timing seemed perfect since the trial happened last week. So let’s dive in. Origin Story From the previous issue, you already know the high-level story of the Bored Apes Yacht Club - but what the hell is Ryder Ripps Bored Ape Yacht Club (RR BAYC)? You may be wondering. Here is how it all started. In May 2022, conceptual artist Ryder Ripps took a picture of the Bored Ape that owned and used as his profile picture on Twitter and minted it as a new NFT on Foundation. He then linked his wallet to his Twitter account and used that as his new profile picture. Twitter, in its turn, showed a hexagon around the image, which proved that it’s an NFT that the account holder (Ryder) owns. j1mmy.eth NFT I could not find the exact public dialogue between j1mmy.eth and Ryder, but I recall that  j1mmy.eth was not happy at all. The conversation between them and the Twitter crowd provoked thoughts and brought up important topics such as NFTs, IP rights, ownership, provenance, etc. And within this context, below is the tweet that started it all There were many people tweeting and asking to get their RR BAYC based on their chosen Bored Ape image. Ryder Ripps himself was minting the RR BAYC apes one by one on Foundation, and soon it became a trending collection on the platform. If I am not mistaken, at one point, Yuga Labs had sent a DMCA letter requesting the Foundation to take the collection down. It was taken down for a day, but after an investigation was brought back up. Everyone who was purchasing RR BAYC had to agree to the terms below. A copycat? Many simplified the matter and, due to the same imagery used (later even the media while covering the topic), simply labeled the RR BAYC collection a copycat. As you can see from the terms, Ryder meant to for educational purposes, as protest and satirical commentary. re-conceptualize the BAYC imagery And everyone was informed that it was a new mint and not an NFT from the original Bored Ape Yacht Club collection. It is hard to deny, though, that the collection did what Ryder intended it to do. Educational You cannot copy an NFT. It would be safe to say that there were many people in the space who had the wrong perception of what an NFT actually was. Many really thought they were buying, holding, and trading the image (jpeg). This is exactly why some had that ignorant “right-click save” counter-argument. What they didn’t realize was that when they bought the NFT, they bought the token, not the image. And although RR BAYC NFT was pointing to the same image of the respective BAYC ape, it was a completely new NFT under a different smart contract. Protest Please note that the accusations about Yuga Labs being a Nazi brand had not yet gained traction, but they were already around. Ryder had launched at the beginning of 2022, and different Twitter Spaces were debating the matter. https://gordongoner.com/ So to many at this point, minting a RR BAYC was a form of protest. Appropriation Art RR BAYC may be looked at as appropriation art too. What is appropriation art? Appropriation in art and art history refers to the practice of artists using pre-existing objects or images in their art with little transformation of the original. Appropriation art raises questions of originality, authenticity, and authorship. Below is just one example More examples are mentioned in this tweet. https://twitter.com/SirRonHale/status/1687072588692889601?s=20&embedable=true And yes, you may argue that in the RR BAYC case, it’s pointing to the same BAYC original image… but remember - the NFT is not about the image but provenance, right? Anyway, let’s see what happened next Seems that at some point, the demand became so high that Ryder could no longer mint them manually. So he teamed up with Pauly (Jeremy Cahen) and a few others to launch a website where people could buy/mint them. I already told you in the previous story that the Youtuber called BORED APE NAZI CLUB at the time the 2022 was taking place. Philion published his video NFT NYC The video blew up, and I think everyone in the NFT space watched it(+ some more since it got 2M views so far). The video mentioned the RR BAYC collection and brought the attention of more people to it. So the demand kept growing… Yuga’s move At first, the most powerful NFT company that gave birth to BAYC: Yuga Labs, ignored the matter, probably hoping that it would never gain traction and be forgotten with time. But not only the video kept gaining views, but also the crypto and mass media picked up the topic, so with each day, more and more people were coming across the accusations and the RR BAYC collection as a result. So they reached a point where ignoring it further was no longer an option. That’s when Gordon Gomer published labeling the accusations “bullshit” but addressing them nevertheless. A letter from the Founders Trying to recall those times, I don’t remember the Bored Ape community being as loyal and united, supporting the brand as Ryder Ripps and Pauly’s supporters were. The latter was way more loud, bold, and passionate compared to the Bored Ape holders. I personally think that if it was the other way around, things would die out and eventually be forgotten, and this story would simply stop here… But no… we’re still halfway there. Yuga Labs sued Ryder Ripps, Pauly (Jeremy Cahen), and DOES 1-10 in June 2022. Before, they were saying that accusations were “bullshit” and the accusers were just trolls. Now a 4 billion company was suing them. And yes, I get it - all these accusations certainly had a very negative impact on the brand's reputation… but wait - it looks like it is not a defamation case at all! If you are as ignorant in legal matters as I am, you may be wondering - who the hell is DOES 1-10? Looked into court files, and here is who else Yuga Labs is suing besides Ryder and Jeremy: Don’t wanna bore you with too many legal details, but below are just a few segments of what Yuga Labs’ complaints consist of to give you a better context, so you can follow the story along. In response to the Bored Ape Yacht Club’s popularity, Defendant Ryder Ripps, a self-proclaimed “conceptual artist,” recently began trolling Yuga Labs and scamming consumers into purchasing RR/BAYC NFTs by misusing Yuga Labs’ trademarks. He seeks to devalue the Bored Ape NFTs by flooding the NFT market with his own copycat NFT collection using the original Bored Ape Yacht Club images and calling his NFTs “RR/BAYC” NFTs. Brazenly, he promotes and sells these RR/BAYC NFTs using the very same trademarks that Yuga Labs uses to promote and sell authentic Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs. He also markets these copycat NFTs as falsely equivalent to an authentic Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT. He then goes on to use Yuga Labs’ marks to promote his coming “Ape Market” NFT marketplace, which requires a person to purchase one of his infringing NFTs to join the Ape Market. This is no mere monkey business. It is a deliberate effort to harm Yuga Labs at the expense of consumers by sowing confusion about whether these RR/BAYC NFTs are in some way sponsored, affiliated, or connected to Yuga Labs’ official Bored Ape Yacht Club, in violation of the Lanham Act and related state law. Yuga Labs brings this action against Ripps and others involved in perpetrating his scam to dispel the confusion he has caused in the marketplace, to protect the goodwill in authentic Bored Ape NFTs and the Bored Ape Yacht Club, to protect members of the NFT community from being deceived into thinking they are purchasing a highly coveted Bored Ape NFT, and to protect the general public from deceptive commercialization or use of RR/BAYC NFTs that would lead consumers to believe those NFTs are official Bored Ape NFTs. Ripps claims his actions are “satire,” yet he conveniently rakes in millions in ill-gotten profit from sales of the RR/BAYC NFTs using Yuga Labs’ marks to make those sales. Copying is not satire, it is theft. And lying to consumers is not conceptual art, it is deception. Ripps, Cahen, and Does 1-5’s website (https://rrbayc.com) claims that minting exact replicas of Yuga Labs’ Bored Ape NFTs and reselling them at a profit is “satire.” In reality, this is part of a longstanding harassment campaign against Yuga Labs and an attempt to devalue the price of authentic Bored Ape NFTs. At the same time, Ripps, Cahen, and Does 1-5 stand to make millions of dollars by tricking consumers into buying these fake Bored Ape NFTs. Indeed, on information and belief, Ripps has made well over $5 million through this scheme of pumping and dumping fake NFTs. There is also a part specifically for all those who have bought RR BAYC too… Defendants Does 6-10 have joined Ripps, Cahen, and Does 1-5 in acting to devalue authentic Bored Ape NFTs through their participation in social media in promoting the RR/BAYC NFTs while knowing them to be fake. Their specific actions will be alleged when and if their identities are ascertained. Will leave in case you’d like to dive into it deeper. the link to all public documents here There are tons of documents and evidence in there. In January 2023, Yuga filed a complaint against Thomas Lehman, focusing on his role in coding and developing the RR BAYC contract and the rrbayc.com site. In February, they reached a settlement (source: ). Coindesk I guess we won’t know what they had agreed on though. In April 2023, Yuga Labs won summary judgment. But the court decided that any damages would be calculated and determined during the trial. The trial And here we are, just a week after the trial. The trial was open to the public, and Pauly encouraged their supporters to show up in a tweet mentioning it a few times on Twitter Spaces too. https://twitter.com/Pauly0x/status/1684566734181920768?s=20&embedable=true There was a bit of citizen journalism going on, so many were following the developments in real-time, reading the tweets, and watching videos from the breaks. Here are both parties arriving at the court: When I started researching this story, I reached out to the Twitter audience to get more information and details. As a result, I personally spoke to 10+ people who were at the trial to find out more details and write this part. All of them were there to support Ryder and Jeremy. They all discovered RR BAYC at different times (from the 1st day, after following Pauly through Pepe, after watching the video, etc.), but all were united by their beliefs. People had traveled from Washington, Miami, and Arizona to be there in person and show their support. Here are just a few of them below, explaining why they decided to be there. This guy flew from Miami. And he also brought his framed RR BAYC with him to the trial. People I spoke to thought everyone from the Yuga Labs side was paid to be there - i.e., mostly from their legal team, hired experts, etc. and no one from the public came to support them. I reached out to Yuga Labs and did not get a response, so unfortunately, there will be no way of presenting their side of the story here. Most of the people I spoke with were on the same page when they were sharing their impressions and observations. I tried to summarize them below: Ryder Ripps did not get a chance to speak. He was asked 1 question only. Being the “hero of the story,” it felt strange to me… When I asked Ryder’s mother: Helene Verin, who was there too, why she thinks that was, she responded: It's obvious; Ryder was so articulate in his deposition, they didn't want him to explain his protest. Jeremy, though, was questioned for 30-40 minutes, and he was very calm and confident. Greg Solano (one of Yuga Lab's co-founders) admitted that the theme of their brand is “scatological” in nature and that Bored Ape Yacht Club is a luxury brand. Quoting one of the supporters below (a sentiment/impression I got from several in different phrasing) I was shocked that Nicole Munoiz (x CEO of Yuga Labs) didn’t even know her own company’s terms . The way certain YUGA witnessed lied on the stand and then we’re quickly reminded of their lies via their deposition was insane. I can’t believe it. It was embarrassing. They really shamed themselves that day. Yuga Labs brought around 13 boxes of printed evidence There were some laughs and giggles during Yuga Labs’ testimony Yuga Labs have spent tons of money (around $600k?) to hire experts to prove that people were confused and bought RR BAYC thinking they were buying BAYC The story is not over yet, and it’s hard to predict what would the decision about the damages be. I believe that the law will find its way. I believe that things will be reconciled. Reconciled because the main business of Yuga Labs is illegitimate. They promise you “IP” — intellectual property if you own one of these NFTs and there is no boundaries of how that intellectual property can be used. I think that’s the most fascinating thing in all of this. Yuga’s examples of IP are poop videos and penises on a bathroom wall. Everybody else, whom Yuga Labs celebrates is using their IP to make marijuana products, kids toys, clothing, pillows, socks, anything you could think of… So in what world is there a guideline? The spectrum of how you can use your IP is wide. If you want to utilize your IP to make criticisms of the company, why can’t you? (a witness from Ryder’s side at trial) _ @hWonderofWorld The rabbit hole with this story seems too deep, and this story just scratched the surface. Meanwhile, it feels like we are living at times when memes are used as “serious” evidence in court, and people keep meme-ing anyway. That was all for this week's Rebels! Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer and qualified in legal matters, so all I have in this story is what I managed to research and comprehend: feel free to correct if needed. I also have not owned and don’t own RR/BAYC at the moment. Also published . here

Yuga Labs Sues Ryder Ripps, Jeremy Cahen, and DOES 1-10: This is Not Monkey Business

Blockchains are notoriously challenging network structures to scale, both in performance - such as latencies, throughput, and number of validators - as well as in feature sets - such as customizability of the bytecode that the blockchain executes. In the blockchain implementations we have seen to date, there is a problematic relationship between the number of nodes on a network, and the . speed at which the network can process transactions Furthermore, almost all blockchain implementations feature a monolithic architecture, which means that they implement a single functionality set, thus making them highly dependent on the work of a small number of core developers. To combat the performance problems, layer 2 solutions are aiming to create lightweight data structures to help mitigate the inherent computationally-intensive requirements of existing layer 1 protocols. Sharding, zk-proofs, side-chains, and other advances are helpful in lowering or offsetting computational load, but lack the fundamental protocol corrections needed to compete with centralized solutions like the card networks or the various government sponsored digital payments rails. Furthermore, they introduce their own sets of problems. On the other hand, to combat the monolithic design problem, some blockchain projects have proposed interoperability solutions, but to date these solutions remain improperly designed, such as the shared security model, leading to high overhead and development complexity. In 2018, a new family of protocols that addresses the issues in layer one blockchain technology was published The Snow family of protocols, including the Avalanche consensus protocol, can support millions of nodes with latencies down to less than a second and throughput of thousands of TPS with high security guarantees. by Team Rocket. This is accomplished by using a base proof of stake security model, and a subsampling technique that captures sufficient state information across the network without requiring full node sync for finality. In essence, when a state change (e.g. transaction) occurs, a node broadcasts it to a subsample of nodes to detect if the sample agrees that the state change is valid. This sampling technique is repeated for all sampled nodes until agreement is reached. Once a state is verified, a hashed signature proves the validation to the network to create global consensus. Since 2019, we have been building a platform using the Snow family of consensus protocols. The platform is designed to take advantage of the Avalanche consensus protocol, as well as numerous layer 2 optimizations such as sharding, pruning, and a DAG data storage model. Just as importantly, AVA implements a different network model, which, like the internet, it is built to host and interoperate many different blockchains, spanning the whole spectrum from permissioned to permissionless. Blockchains run in their own subnetworks, which include custom validator sets that may have custom rules for membership, including rules about whether the blockchain is secured by proof of stake, proof of work, or other spam or membership protections. Furthermore, they run custom virtual machines, which dictate the functionality of the subnetwork by encoding any arbitrary logic, and which extends further than simple smart contract platforms, since AVA allows programmability at the network layer, not just the application layer. These are clearly bold claims in the competitive and often hype-fueled crypto space. In an effort toward transparency, we have released the codebase for the AVA platform. This codebase has been publicly released as an open source project seeking community involvement for developing and testing. Developers will have access to the AVA toolset, which includes a wallet, faucet, and libraries for building applications. Designed to promote involvement from the global development community, we have also launched the first stage of our Developer Accelerator Program (DAP) - a bug bounty! More details on this program can be found here: . avalabs.org/dap We invite the Hackernoon community to join AVA and test our code! | | Developer Accelerator Program Documentation GitHub Repo By Kevin Sekniqi, Co-Founder and COO of AVA Labs

Open Codebase and DAP Launch to Incentivize Network Participation [AVA Labs Update]

The launch of ChatGPT in November 2022 marked a significant milestone for the society. Since its introduction, ChatGPT has rapidly gained traction, attracting a substantial user base of 100 million individuals within just two months. This achievement set a new record for visitor growth in our industry. Professionals across various sectors have started exploring innovative ways to integrate ChatGPT into their operations. Personally, I have taken an interest in its potential applications in business analytics and sought to evaluate the capabilities and limitations of this tool. In preparing this article, I conducted research on the topic, scouring online resources for relevant information. While existing examples largely focused on specific use cases, my goal was to highlight the broad spectrum of possibilities presented by ChatGPT. The outcome of my investigation led me to identify five distinct categories of tasks where ChatGPT can offer valuable assistance. In this article, I provide a concise overview of each of these applications. PlantUML code generation Automated code generation through ChatGPT for PlantUML diagrams is a highly innovative feature. ChatGPT has the capability to generate and correct code, including PlantUML code for various diagram types. PlantUML is a tool commonly used for creating UML and other types of diagrams. One of the key advantages of using PlantUML is the reduction in manual work, as editing the code is a more efficient method compared to manually adjusting diagram elements. In the context of an online shop scenario, let us request ChatGPT to generate the PlantUML sequence diagram depicting the integration process with the Stripe service. My request is as follows: Below is the code generated by ChatGPT: By incorporating this into the online PlantUML editor, we are able to generate a comprehensive high-level sequence diagram that can be further enhanced with additional details. ChatGPT was able to generate this diagram in just one minute, a task that would undoubtedly require a significant amount of time if done manually. Use cases generation ChatGPT can be a valuable resource for generating drafts of use cases for your service. It can assist in efficiently completing this task and offer fresh perspectives by identifying scenarios that may not have been previously considered. The initial request can be formulated as follows: As a result, ChatGPT provides 15 use cases written in the requested format. Here are a few examples: CJM creation This task may align more closely with the responsibilities of the Product Owner role; however, Business Analysts may also contribute to the global product strategy planning. In such instances, ChatGPT can be a valuable tool to assist them in their efforts. I made the request using the following criteria: The response chatbot provided information on three different types of customers: First-Time Visitors, Regular Shoppers, and Dissatisfied Customers. You should agree that you need more than 1-2 minutes for preparing a presentation tailored to a specific customer type. By utilizing ChatGPT, you can generate a high-quality draft that can be further customized and enhanced to meet your needs. Documentation draft creation Utilizing a chatbot is a convenient and rational method for generating documents such as Software Requirement Specifications (SRS). It is important to note that ChatGPT has a tendency to include extraneous details in its output, therefore it is recommended to thoroughly review and edit the text for accuracy and conciseness. I used the chatbot to generate an initial draft of the SRS for the user account page on our online store. As a result I got a document containing functional and non-functional requirements and a glossary: Upon reviewing the requirements, it is evident that some do not align with the SMART criteria and may require editing. This draft can be further enhanced and refined to meet both your and your customer's expectations. Mastering a subject domain Starting to work in the new subject area, Business Analysts often need advice on this new field of knowledge. ChatGPT can assist in this process by providing tailored advice and creating a personalized development plan. Additionally, references, courses, or a summary of high-level knowledge can be requested to enhance comprehension of the subject matter. For example, if we decide to introduce coffee as a product in our online shop, it would be beneficial to acquire knowledge about coffee varieties and characteristics. This includes not only distinguishing between different types such as cappuccino and espresso, but also gaining a basic understanding of the various attributes of coffee. Let`s ask ChatGPT: As a result I got the summary for all requested information: The chatbot successfully generated a list of references as requested: Conclusions Since the inception of ChatGPT, there has been a range of reactions within the community, varying from enthusiasm to concern. Influential figures such as Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak, and other experts in the field of artificial intelligence have penned an open letter to call on AI labs to pause in giant AI experiments of all AI systems more powerful than GPT-4 for half a year. All cutting-edge technologies can be intimidating due to the wide range of applications and potential complexities. However, like any tool, when utilized appropriately, they can provide numerous benefits. Our objective is to explore how we can improve efficiency through the use of ChatGPT. It is important to remember that all outputs generated by ChatGPT require thorough validation and editing. ChatGPT has the potential to streamline repetitive tasks, allowing for more time to focus on innovative and challenging issues. If you currently utilize ChatGPT in your role, we would be interested in hearing how it has enhanced your work processes.
