OpenVector
Bitcoin exemplifies sovereign money by operating on a decentralised network of nodes, granting users true ownership of their assets without reliance on centralised intermediaries. Similarly, achieving sovereignty in AI requires eliminating centralised points of control. Current AI agents, hosted through API providers or within Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), lack this sovereignty. The TEE manufacturer or host retains ultimate control, with the ability to terminate operations at any time. To create truly sovereign and autonomous AI agents, it is essential to build a decentralised network of nodes that ensures independence from external influence, including that of the operator. We introduce OpenVector, a decentralised computing network designed to bring the principles of sovereignty and decentralisation to AI. OpenVector enables Large Lan- guage Model (LLM) computations to occur entirely within an encrypted domain using a novel cryptographic primitive called CoFHE (Collaborative Fully Homomorphic Encryption). This ensures fast and secure computation while decentralising the decryption key, addressing the twin challenges of data privacy and centralisation. This comprehensive guide is designed for anyone who wants to explore how OpenVector works and learn about building sovereign AI system using the network.
