Central to their efforts is the Ritual Virtual Machine (VM), designed to facilitate expressive, heterogeneous computation. This allows developers to seamlessly incorporate AI models for tasks such as inference and fine-tuning within decentralized applications. ([ritualfoundation.org](https://www.ritualfoundation.org/?utm_source=openai)) To support innovation at the intersection of AI and blockchain, Ritual Foundation offers the Shrine program, providing comprehensive assistance to teams from concept development to market deployment.
