Introducing Ritual (sovereign execution layer for AI)

Ritual has come out of stealth with a plan to build an open, modular, sovereign execution layer for AI that lets anyone create, distribute and improve models without permission. The post says current AI infrastructure lacks guarantees of computational integrity, privacy and censorship-resistance, and is hosted by a few centralized corporations. Its first product, Infernet, lets smart contracts access AI models for inference, and Ritual announced a $25m Series A led by Archetype.
