Recap Cysic AMA 03.09.2026
Q1: Is reserved for Cysic AI provider status and DogeBox multipliers actually locked on-chain?
A1: Yes, reserved is locked on-chain on the Cysic chain. You can un-reserve anytime; tokens return in about 7 days. It is a deposit, with punishment if you fail to deliver.
Q2: Does Proof-of-Compute count AI inference the same as ZK proofs?
A2: A unified method for ZK proof generation and AI token generation is planned. Parameters are not fixed and will stay dynamic based on compute on Cysic Network. Goal: not unfair to ZK provers, while attracting Cysic AI providers.
Q3: Who are the first customers routing inference through Cysic AI?
A3: CyOps users. Current model is CHEN1-27b; more models are coming. A new CyOps version is coming soon with a smaller install package and more features.
Q4: If many DogeBox devices join, will rewards compress like Bitcoin mining?
A4: Only if there is no external demand. Cysic is an open network: ZK demand already comes from projects such as Skor and Elio; Cysic AI and internal products are meant to consume compute too. Details on exact reward floors not shared.
Q5: How do Cysic AI, InfraBench and Venus interact? Can InfraBench steer routing?
A5: Venus is the ZK track and is separate from AI. Venus 0.3 is expected later this week or early next week. InfraBench finds the most profitable model for your hardware; that model can be used in Cysic AI. Auto-switch by demand is planned.
Q6: DogeBox1 Batch 2 timeline, and do reservations change Batch 2 priority like Cube NFTs did for Batch 1?
A6: Batch 2 is already live on OpenForge. Batch 1 and Batch 2 buyers automatically get a 1.1x multiplier. More reserved NFTs or multiply the factors; top cube tier was cited as 1.1x × 1.4 for higher daily rewards.
Q7: If a model provider changes API terms or pricing, what is the fallback?
A7: Cysic AI cannot run closed-source models such as GPT or Claude; only open-source models with available weights. Each model can have multiple providers, so price/API changes are handled by competition on cheaper tokens.
Other highlights:
Started a few minutes early; about 22 listeners; no extra live questions after the Discord set.
Leo shipped 20+ commits the same day.
Investors gifted a robot dog (SciDog 2); photos coming. Not the DogeBox device.
InfraBench GUI like MSI Afterburner was requested; team called it a good idea and will consider a worry-less version of the current CLI.
CyRunners demos were mentioned.
Next AMA in two weeks.
