## Gaia node

Each Gaia node provides a specialized API service that encapsulates a unique combination of

* a specialized and fine-tuned LLM (e.g., an LLM that excels in answering questions about the Rust programming language)
* a domain-specific knowledge base (e.g., knowledge about the WasmEdge project)
* an inference app that manages the context and history of conversations (e.g., RAG and MemGPT prompt injection)
* compute resources required to run the LLM app as an API service (e.g., a Nvidia GPU or a Mac M3 device)

The Gaia node API service is fully compatible with the OpenAI JSON spec, and hence each Gaia node can function as an alternative backend for OpenAI-based frontends or agents.

## Gaia network

The Gaia network consists of many Gaia nodes. It provides a mechanism to discovery, connect, and pay for Gaia node services through a decentralized marketplace.
