Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Decentralized AI (DeAI) protocols are beginning to generate revenue through compute, data, and agent services. Multiple DeAI projects across categories, including fine-tuned models, DePIN infrastructure, portfolio management, and agent launchpads, are demonstrating product-market fit with users willing to pay for services, mirroring how centralized AI companies reach $30 million in revenue 5x faster than traditional SaaS. Despite AI being the most disruptive technology of the current era, AI tokens represent only 1.9% of the total altcoin market cap, suggesting significant undervaluation relative to their revenue-generating potential.
