ZkAGI (Zero-Knowledge Artificial General Intelligence) is a framework designed to advance decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) by promoting privacy-preserving AI technologies. Its primary objective is to incentivize GPU providers, model trainers, AI developers, and data owners to participate in a secure ecosystem. ZkAGI achieves this through the integration of federated learning and zero-knowledge proofs, ensuring that AI model inference and data remain private.

### Key features of ZkAGI include:

* Privacy-preserving AI using cryptographic techniques for zero-leakage model inference.
* Decentralized AI model training and inference using GPU networks across a global scale.
* Zero-Knowledge Machine Learning (ZKML) for verifiable AI execution without revealing sensitive data.
* Utilization of Transformer-based Large Language Models (LLMs) for accurate natural language processing.<br>
