The funds from the grants program will be utilized to bolster and broaden our decentralized science initiative at GainForest. This endeavor will encompass the acquisition of drones and wildlife cameras, as well as supplying digital infrastructure and training for local communities. For more information about our program, please visit https://gainforest.app/science.

Furthermore, the financial assistance will be channeled into developing GainForest GPU compute nodes, which will be integrated as shared data and AI commons on the Bacalhau platform. These compute nodes will play a crucial role in hosting and running open large language models like LLaMA, as well as remote sensing computer vision models. By establishing a robust test bed for AI development and experimentation, our goal is to cultivate innovation and advance state-of-the-art technology in the field, building an open and transparent planetary computer for ReFi.
