The Distilled Foundation is a non-profit organization committed to developing a distributed system for knowledge and intelligence distillation. Central to our mission is the belief that everyone should have access to personalized, highly capable AI, distilled from securely stored personal data, and tailored to individual needs, cultures, and traditions, with the eventual goal of empowering their self-development journey.

We aim to create a thriving ecosystem that fosters the production of democratized AI models and data products. Guided by experience, the Distilled Foundation is advancing an Open AGI economy by leveraging the immense potential of well-funded foundational models, translating them into accessible and efficient alternatives. Our long-standing dedication to innovation at the intersection of AI and blockchain drives us to build a collaborative economy, ensuring that our vision of accessible, personalized and private intelligence becomes a reality for a diverse global community.

Impact

Private intelligence, as envisioned by the Distilled Foundation, offers a powerful tool for preserving and promoting the diversity of human experience. By creating AI models that are tailored to individual needs, we ensure that the rich nature of global cultures is not only respected but also actively integrated into the future of AI. For communities whose languages and expressions are at risk of extinction, or whose traditions might be marginalized by mainstream AI solutions, our approach provides a lifeline — ensuring that their voices are heard, their stories are told, and their ways of life are preserved.

Private intelligence also opens up new avenues for individuals with deep expertise in specific fields to contribute their high-quality knowledge to the broader development of AI. This allows for a significantly more specialized AI landscape, where the insights and data stored in the minds of experts can be distilled into AI models that reflect and preserve their valuable contributions. By enabling these experts to share their knowledge in a secure and personalized way, we not only enhance the overall quality of AI but also ensure that the intelligence we create is as diverse and refined as the individuals who contribute to it.
