NEAR AI Hub x elizaOS: free inference, multichain plugins and TEEs for agents
Quote159 words
Argues NEAR AI Hub could be central to the next agent wave, listing NEAR and multichain plugins for elizaOS, TEE integrations, a Nillion tie-in for private agents and free inference for builders.
Key claims
Eliza builders get free inference via NEAR AI Hub
Multichain plugin covers Bitcoin, Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Chain and Avalanche
When the next wave of agentic innovation hits, the hype around Eliza (the leading framework) will return.
And the NEAR AI Hub (+ NEAR as a base layer for onchain agents) will be at the center of the action.
With @near_ai devs can build @elizaOS agents with:
- NEAR Plugin for onchain actions on @NEARProtocol (trade on @rhea_finance, send & receive assets on $NEAR, etc.)
- NEAR Multichain Plugin that allows cross-chain interactions across all major chains (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Chain, Avalanche, etc.)
- TEE integrations (to train & run AI models), and partnership with @nillion (integrated with @NEARProtocol) to empower fully private AI agents that can work with sensitive,high-value data.
- Free inference (big cost factor removed, lowering barriers of entry for builders) provided to Hub builders by NEAR AI.
- Much more (@near_ai is also developing a highly performant open-source AI model (S1), provides an abundance of learning resources, etc.)
Check it out & DYOR. 馃憞
QUOTING @near_ai
1/ @NEARProtocol 馃 @elizaOS Thanks to @robertyan0, Eliza devs now get FREE inference via NEAR AI Hub + agents that handle transfers, swaps & tracking across NEAR, Bitcoin, Cosmos & EVM chains. Your agents no longer have to care which blockchains they're interacting with
