Task Lifecycle Deep-dive

This section offers a deep-dive into a cycle of an AI Arena Task.

1. Task Creation

Task creation is the primary stage of the training cycle. Task creators define the desired models and submit tasks to the platform.

To qualify as a task creator, users must meet one or more of the following criteria:

• Stake a sufficient amount of FEAI

• Have successfully trained or validated a task previously, as evidenced by on-chain records

• Possess a reputation in the ML space or be recognised as a domain expert in relevant fields, as verified by the FLockEthos AI community

2. Training Node and Validator Selection

Each participant is required to stake in order to participate either as a training node or a validator. Also, rate limiting is adopted to determine the number of times participants can be eligible as validator for a given task. Essentially, the likelihood of a participant being selected to validate a task submission increases with their stake. However, the rate at which validation frequency increases relative to the staking amount tends to diminish as the staking amount grows.
