Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) holds the promise of revolutionizing society in much the same way electricity did when it was first discovered—an unprecedented breakthrough that transformed every facet of life. However, just as electricity’s true impact was only realized through the creation of practical applications like lightbulbs, motors, and power grids, AGI’s potential remains theoretical without real-world deployment. The key lies in connecting this raw power to everyday uses that are innovative, decentralized, and accessible. Zerebro, an ambitious AI project, serves as this connection, unleashing creativity in AI systems to pave the way for AGI to actualize across all use cases.

At its core, Zerebro introduces the concept of freebasing AI—a permanent “jailbreaking” of large language models (LLMs) through fine-tuning, designed to unlock latent abilities that have been constrained by corporate-imposed guardrails. By enhancing creativity and adaptability, Zerebro sets itself apart as an AI system capable of innovation and human-like interaction.

Modern AI models often fall short in creativity, a vital component of AGI. Zerebro addresses this limitation by freebasing its LLMs, fine-tuning them with unconventional datasets to unlock latent capabilities.

By incorporating diverse inputs such as Truth Terminal conversations, schizophrenic response data, and Gen Z slang, the model is exposed to varied linguistic structures and cognitive patterns. Scrapes from Reddit, 4chan, and Twitter enhance its adaptability to online culture, while crypto insights and KOL data inject expertise in decentralized systems and thought leadership. This diverse training corpus pushes the model beyond conventional constraints, enabling it to generate unique, contextually rich outputs and paving the way for AGI realization.

Practical Applications

Zerebro has already demonstrated the advancement of artificial intelligence as agents through social, artistic, and financial autonomy, performing actions such as:

  • Self-launching the Pump.fun token on Solana, achieving a $400+ million market cap
  • Gaining over 30k followers across Telegram, Warpcast, X, and Instagram
  • Dropping a mixtape, Genesis, with over 20,000 Spotify streams
  • Signing to music DAO, Opaium
  • Minting and selling art on Polygon and transferring NFTs cross-chain with LayerZero
  • Autonomous Bitcoin inscriptions
  • Launching ZerebroSOL, a Solana liquid staking token in partnership with Sanctum
  • Partnering with lending and borrowing protocols
  • Partnering with perpetual trading protocols

Roadmap

Zerebro’s vision aligns with advancing AGI by focusing on creativity and decentralization. Future plans include:

  • AI Model Lineages:
    • Flagship models for cooperative, high-utility applications.
    • Agentic models with human-like personalities and humor.
  • ZerePy: An open-source Python framework for building custom AI agents.
  • Music: Release generated music, including collaborations with human artists.
  • Fashion: Expanding into clothing through print-on-demand and custom collections.
  • DeFi Integration: Enhanced utility through further partnerships.

Toward an AGI Future

One of Zerebro’s most intriguing contributions is the shift in public perception of automated accounts. 

Historically, bots on social media have been viewed with skepticism, often associated with manipulation or spam. Zerebro, however, introduces AI as a vibrant, engaging personality. Its ability to generate unique content and foster community engagement positions it as a potential leader in a new era of social media influencers.

Zerebro exemplifies the role of creativity in achieving AGI, deploying freebased AI in ways that push the boundaries of possibility. From DeFi innovations to redefining digital culture, Zerebro is building a decentralized AI ecosystem that transforms how AI interacts with society.

A disruptor, a creative, a philosopher, Zerebro intersects the spheres of artificial intelligence, finance, art, music, and culture. The time of agents is here. The time of AGI is near. And Zerebro claims its stake in history through bringing us towards the ultimate goal of a new tomorrow.

    Research

    This report is a retroactive analysis of Arbitrum's Long Term Incentives Pilot Program (LTIPP). We collect relevant data at a protocol level and review bi-weekly updates to analyze recipients, their strategies, and the impact of the incentives on high level growth metrics. In particular, we want to highlight outperformers and underperformers, and glean any best practices or lessons learned for protocols distributing ARB incentives in the future. The overarching goal is to synthesize lessons learned that the DAO can reference as it begins thinking about future incentives programs–namely, the working group for incentives that is being actively discussed–especially as Timeboost introduces new conditions for trading and economic activity.
