## Quote — verbatim

> A few companies write models, like OpenAIs of the world, Anthropics of the world, but really there are 40 million developers that could essentially write models. Models are not a lot of code — 600 lines or a thousand lines... so decentralizing that intelligence to the people using blockchain is a phenomenal way.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Third pillar: model coordination — democratizing model authorship beyond a few labs.
