Yupp, known as Ber Sarai Labs Inc., has launched with $33 million seed funding led by a16z crypto to develop an AI model evaluation platform with crypto incentives.
The platform offers users multiple AI responses to prompts, enabling diverse opinions and consensus building among AI models.
Yupp integrates over 500 models, including OpenAI's ChatGPT, Anthropic PBC's Claude, Google LLC's Gemini, and various open-source models.
The goal is to gather real human feedback to enhance AI models, facilitating better customization and community-based model improvement.
Users can provide feedback on AI responses to tailor future interactions and earn Yupp credits, exchangeable for other cryptocurrencies.
Yupp introduces a beta version of its AI leaderboard, the VIBE leaderboard, to rank AI models based on performance and user feedback.
a16z crypto believes crypto technology enhances transparency and ownership in AI assessment, fostering reliable evaluations based on large-scale input.
Notable investors in Yupp's funding round include Jeff Dean, Biz Stone, Evan Sharp, Kunal Shah, and Coinbase Ventures.
Blockchain technology is leveraged to offer rewards, ensure data provenance, and maintain an immutable record of AI evaluations on Yupp.
