#opg $OPG Had a small realization today that I probably should of caught earlier honestly.
Been following OpenGradient for a few weeks now and I noticed I kept describing it to people as an "AI crypto project" whenever it came up in conversation. Just defaulting to that label because it was the easiest shorthand.
Said it again today and someone pushed back on me. Asked what that actually means because every third project right now calls itself an AI crypto project
Couldn't give a clean answer in the moment which bothered me more than it probably should have.
Went back and thought about it properly. OpenGradient isnt really an AI project that uses crypto. Its closer to a verification network that happens to use AI inference as its first major application. The $OPG token exists to coordinate the people running that verification layer, not to monetize an AI chatbot
That distinction sounds small but it completely changes what you're actually evaluating when you look at this project.
You're not asking "is this AI good enough to compete." You're asking "does the world need a trustless verification layer for computation" which is a much more interesting question with a much clearer answer.
Took someone challenging my lazy shorthand to actually think it through properly. Grateful for that push back today.
