Early Access to Sahara AI Studio Now Open: An Integrated Platform Redefining AI Development
Feb 11, 2025
February 11, 2025 - Today, Sahara AI proudly launches the Early Access Program for Sahara AI Studio, marking the start of the second phase of our testnet. This program provides exclusive early access to an all-in-one platform designed to transform the AI development lifecycle—from data acquisition to model development and deployment—into a streamlined, integrated experience.
AI development has traditionally been fragmented, requiring developers to manage multiple tools and platforms, leading to inefficiencies and high costs. Sahara AI Studio solves these challenges by integrating the entire AI lifecycle into one platform. From finding the right model or dataset to creating and deploying RAG and non-RAG pipelines, developers can now seamlessly build, experiment, and launch AI systems in one easy-to-use platform.
The Early Access Program ensures that developers worldwide, whether focused on large-scale enterprise AI or specialized projects, benefit from a streamlined, developer-first experience. By participating, developers will contribute to optimizing the platform for practical, real-world applications, making AI development faster and more effective. Participants will earn rewards for their early feedback and contributions to the platform.
End-to-End AI Development: Streamlined and Scalable
Sahara AI Studio integrates powerful tools and services that simplify every aspect of AI development and deployment:
Data Hub: Discover, Manage, and Leverage AI-Ready Datasets
Access high-quality, domain-specific, open-source and proprietary datasets through an integrated marketplace. Developers can download, import, or label datasets, making it easier to train and fine-tune models or deploy RAG pipelines. Secure uploads and seamless workflow integration enhance the experience.
Model Hub: Discover, Customize and Scale AI Workflows with Ease
Discover ready-to-use open-source and proprietary models, RAG pipelines, and customizable workflows. Developers can deploy models quickly while maintaining privacy and security through Sahara Vaults.
Compute Hub: Flexible, Scalable Compute Resources for AI Innovation
Access scalable and secure computing resources tailored to diverse AI workloads. Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) capabilities ensure data privacy, while integration with top compute providers offer flexibility for developers.
Vaults: Secure Storage for AI Assets
Securely store, organize, and manage datasets, models, and other assets in an encrypted central repository. Vaults offer scalability, reproducibility, and user control over AI resources.
From Ideation to Production in a Few Short Steps
Sahara AI Studio provides a seamless path to building, deploying, and optimizing AI applications. Developers can seamlessly move through the entire AI lifecycle, from initial setup to deployment and performance monitoring all in a single platform:
Authenticate and Set Up Vaults: Users sign in using the authentication method of their choice, including their email address or on-chain wallet, and create personalized Vaults to securely store and manage their AI assets like datasets and models.
Import, Label, and Manage Datasets: Through the Data Hub, developers can purchase or upload datasets, label them using the Data Services Platform (if necessary), and store them efficiently for future use in their Vault.
Build and Deploy Models: Developers can select proprietary or open-source models and create RAG or non-RAG pipelines directly in the Model Hub. Once configured, deployments can be customized and executed seamlessly through the scalable Compute Hub.
Run Inference and Monitor Performance: Deployed models can be tested and optimized through API endpoints, with performance metrics tracked and analyzed within the platform to support continuous improvement.
This integration reduces friction between development stages, helping developers iterate quickly and deploy reliable AI systems.
Early Access Starts Now — Create your own DeFi Agent!
As part of our phased approach to onboarding, developers can join Season 1 of the Early Access Program. This first season focuses on building DeFi AI Information Agents using RAG pipelines and system prompts to solve real-world challenges in decentralized finance, including:
Handling complex DeFi data queries, such as yield tracking and cross-chain risk assessments.
Optimizing on-chain investment strategies by analyzing multi-protocol liquidity data.
Monitoring market conditions and on-chain events to deliver real-time insights.
Estimating gas costs and bridge fees dynamically across multiple chains.
Season 1 offers developers early access to the platform, with new challenges and features introduced in subsequent seasons. Each season will focus on specific AI use cases to gather targeted feedback and improve the platform.
Program benefits for early access participants include:
Compute Credits: Start with $100 in credits (with up to $300 available for top contributors).
Sahara Points: Earn Sahara Points by completing tasks and providing feedback.
Direct Platform Influence: Developers will have the opportunity to help refine key features of the platform.
In Season 1, developers will work closely with the Sahara AI team, sharing feedback on platform performance while preparing their datasets and models for future monetization opportunities.
