Nostr Data Vending Machine: A Marketplace for Data Processing
Data Vending Machine (DVM) is a way to connect AI and people to crunch data.
- "Open sourcing my Data Vending Machine implementation," announced PABLOF7z.
"Nostr can act as a marketplace for data processing, where users request jobs to be processed in certain ways (e.g. "speech-to-text", "summarization"), but where they don't necessarily care about "who" processes the data," explains the DVM NIP description.
- "This NIP is not to be confused with a 1:1 marketplace; but rather, a flow where user announces a desired output, willingness to pay, and service providers compete to fulfill the job requirement in the best way possible."
Video demonstration:
- "This codebase uses @tiero 's Prem AI (premai.io) for easily self-hostable AI backends.
- "Want to try them? Use Highlighter's Dev environment (use the search bar at the top with, e,g, an Overcast URL)."
- "This is the code these three models are running behind the scenes in this video (with different risk configurations, thus they display different behaviors)."

"What are you saying, Morpheus -- that I can get AIs to compete to serve me data processing services on nostr?"
"No, Neo, I'm telling you that... sure, you can do that... but if someone already paid to process the data you need, you can just reuse it"
### What's happening here?
Instead of asking @Highlighter to show me a website so I can highlight it, I gave it a VIDEO of @jack and @jack mallers
It detected it's a video, so it asks me if I want to publish a job request on nostr, a Data Vending Machine Job Request (per the NIP I wrote last weekend) so AIs *COMPETE* to serve me data.
Highlighter detected that someone had already paid the AIs for this exact same transcript, so it just gave me data.
Nostr is getting weird(er).
In this instance, the AI was executed by the very first nostr AI Service Provider, created by @Don't ₿elieve the Hype 🦊

coming soon to a @npub1w0rthyj...cu4x near you
pay AIs to give you a custom-made feed based on... whatever (your interests, what you've recently written about on nostr, what your network has recently written about... whatever! long-tail algorithms ftw!)
