_**[Fetch.ai](http://Fetch.ai)**__**[ Inc.](https://fetch.ai/)**__, a founding member of the Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) Alliance, has introduced ASI-1 Mini, the first Web3-native large language model (LLM). Designed for agentic workflows, this model allows users to generate revenue through_ _[Fetch.ai](http://Fetch.ai)__’s infrastructure, transforming AI interactions into monetizable opportunities._

**[ASI-1 Mini](https://asi1.ai/)** matches the performance of leading LLMs while reducing hardware costs. With built-in Web3 integration, it offers secure, autonomous AI interactions. Over time, it will connect to AgentVerse, [Fetch.ai](http://Fetch.ai)’s agent marketplace, enabling users to deploy autonomous agents that complete real-world tasks through simple language commands.

> **From booking reservations to executing complex operations, ASI-1 Mini brings AI-driven automation to everyday life.**

Developers can create and monetize micro-agents within AgentVerse, fostering an open-source ecosystem where customized AI solutions thrive. This model operates through $FET-powered **[ASI wallet](https://fetch.ai/docs/guides/fetch-network/asi-wallet/mobile-wallet/get-started)** integration, making AI development more accessible and profitable for the Web3 community.

## Unlocking a Decentralized AI Economy

ASI-1 Mini is part of the ASI: initiative, which aims to democratize AI ownership. With the upcoming Cortex model group, **[Fetch.ai](http://Fetch.ai)** and the ASI Alliance are creating a framework where users can invest in, train, and own AI models—potentially unlocking multi-billion-dollar valuations.

Humayun Sheikh, CEO of [Fetch.ai](http://Fetch.ai) and Chairman of the ASI Alliance, stated:

> **“ASI-1 Mini is the first major product from the ASI Alliance’s innovation stack, marking the beginning of the ASI:\<Train/> rollout and a new era of community-owned AI. This launch sets the foundation for a decentralized ecosystem where the Web3 community can invest,train, and directly benefit from cutting-edge AI models.”**

He added, "ASI-1 Mini is just the start—over the coming days, we will be rolling out advanced agentic tool-calling, expanded multi-modal capabilities, and deeper Web3 integrations. With these enhancements, ASI-1 Mini will drive agentic automation while ensuring that AI’s value creation remains in the hands of those who fuel its growth."

## Key Features

- **High Efficiency:** Runs on just two GPUs, achieving 8x greater hardware efficiency than other LLMs.
- **Expanded Context Window:** Soon supports up to 10 million tokens for large-scale data processing.
- **Transparent AI:** Multi-step reasoning enhances explainability, addressing black-box concerns.
- **Agentic Workflows (Coming Soon):** Automates complex tasks with minimal human intervention.

ASI-1 Mini is available now, with additional agentic tool-calling features and Web3 wallet integration rolling out soon. As Rollups-as-a-Service (RaaS) and Web3-native AI models gain traction, [Fetch.ai](http://Fetch.ai)’s innovation positions it at the forefront of the agentic economy.
