AI Crypto Market: Current State

The market has seen a cooling off this week. The hype surrounding AI in the crypto sphere has dropped to its lowest point this year. The total market capitalization of AI tokens has decreased by 2% to $21.5 billion, and the robotics sector has declined by 9% to $1.05 billion. With the official launch of the Monad mainnet, market attention has shifted towards zero-knowledge proofs and EVM.

CodecFlow: "Operators" Replacing Scripts

CodecFlow is an execution layer for AI agents and robots. Its core adopts the "Optr" (Operators) model, enabling developers to apply the same set of automated logic to desktop computers or robotic arms without rewriting code. Operators work by continuously monitoring the screen or a robot's camera, analyzing the information seen, and executing the next action. This process repeats. Each operator runs on an independent microcomputer, streaming video to the AI system and receiving instructions for actions such as clicks, keystrokes, or robotic arm movements. Training an operator involves demonstrating the task flow. The system can learn from just one or two manual operations. Once an operator masters a skill, it can be published for others to use.

Notable Funding Events

  • Numerai completes a $30 million Series C funding round at a $500 million valuation to expand its AI-driven hedge fund.
  • AlphaTON Capital receives an $82.5 million investment to build GPU infrastructure for its Cocoon AI project (related to TON).
  • ZENi completes a $1.5 million seed round to build a smart data layer for AI agents.

Conclusion

The AI crypto market is witnessing exciting developments, with new technologies like zero-knowledge proofs and EVM gaining prominence. It remains to be seen how these developments will impact the market in the long run, but it is clear that AI will continue to play a significant role in the future of cryptocurrency.
