AGI & OpenCog Hyperon
SingularityNET is regularly seeking proposals for specific challenges designed to promote and speed up ground-breaking work in decentralized beneficial and benevolent Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) research and development via our OpenCog Hyperon architecture.
Completed RFP'sWho we are:
SingularityNET is a founding member of the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance, the largest open-sourced, independent entity in AI research and development. The alliance, consisting of SingularityNET, Fetch, Ocean Protocol, and CUDOS, aims to accelerate the advancement of decentralized AGI and, ultimately, Artificial Superintelligence (ASI).
The Hyperon Architecture and the MeTTa Language
Hyperon is the new version of the OpenCog AGI framework, aimed at leveraging recent advances in hardware design and processes, software, algorithms, foundational mathematics, computer science principles, neuroscience, cognitive science, deep learning and deep neural networks, and many other relevant disciplines to dramatically improve computation speed and scalability. As part of our OpenCog redesign, we have created a new language for cognitive computations that we call MeTTa. MeTTa is a core component of OpenCog Hyperon, functioning essentially as “the language of thought”. MeTTa’s unique capabilities include dynamic self-modification, runtime justifications for processes, neural-symbolic reasoning, and probabilistic logical reasoning, all of which are crucial for building AGI systems that can evolve into ASI. One can view MeTTa as a language to not only develop AGI algorithms, but also to connect together, synthesize, and compose AGI, AI, and ML algorithms. In this sense, MeTTa is to decentralized AGI algorithms as Python is to classical ML and DNN ones.What we need:
We have designed a highly specific roadmap of tasks we believe wi lead to AGI and ASI. We have identified certain of these tasks that you could help complete, get paid for while doing so, and be a part of the history of AGI/ASI development.
About our RFPS:
Our current round of RFPs is specifically targeted to help us further develop the Hyperon architecture. It is quite diverse and spans the entire technical stack from low-level hardware designs to high-level SOTA AI algorithms.
Through these RFPs we are:
- Seeking to grow our community and adoption of the MeTTa programming language
- Sponsoring learning and exploration of potentially relevant research topics complementary and timely to our own internal work
- Developing an Inclusive approach to fresh development perspectives across modalities and global cultures
- Enlisting the world’s top talent to participate in shaping the course of AGI/ASI
- Inviting developers to collaborate up close with SingularityNET’s top researchers at the edge of discovery and produce open source code that accelerates research within the international community of AI developers
- Questions regarding any technical content of the current RFPs, or requests for additional information or resources,aritifica can be addressed Hyperon_RFPs@singularitynet.io

Community RFPS
Our goal is to empower the community to identify and prioritize what is most important and urgent to develop. This approach aligns with the idea of increasing value by separating the stages of ideation, RFP development, and RFP execution. We focus first on identifying the most critical objectives before determining who is best suited to bring these plans to life. Unlike the single-party approach of Deep Funding Rounds, the RFP process enables broader collaboration, engaging diverse contributors throughout the project lifecycle.
Details
The complete tooling for the ‘RFP Creation Process’ is not yet fully available online. This is partly due to the challenge of defining priorities across a comprehensive pipeline of desired features. However, this is also intentional. By working ‘offline’ and adopting a pragmatic, iterative approach, we can better understand what works, identify areas requiring more attention, and reduce the risk of over-engineering. The first stage in this process, the ideation phase, is currently under development. Subsequent steps -such as outlining an RFP and selecting the best team to define it in detail- will remain in early stages until we gain more experience with the process and a clearer understanding of the volume and type of ideas we can expect. Our first community-driven project dates back to 2023. Though it took time to materialize into a formal RFP (Deep Funding Knowledge Graph), The ensuing project is now nearing completion. We look forward to seeing many more community-led initiatives emerge, bringing innovative and urgent projects -across a wide variety of topics and application domains- to the Decentralized AI platform.

Deep Funding
These RFPs are developed by members of the Deep Funding Circle to strengthen and expand the program through innovative tools and initiatives. Examples include RFPs for our Reputation Platform, tools for Voting and ID management, the creation of Community Hubs, and other forward-looking projects.
Details
Deep Funding is a dynamic, community-driven program designed to grow and evolve with the contributions of its members. Our organization comprises a globally diverse network of passionate part-time contributors who collaborate under equal conditions, regardless of location, experience, or expertise. Innovation lies at the heart of Deep Funding. As part of our experimental approach, we periodically issue RFPs to develop or enhance tools and initiatives critical to the program. These may include creating new solutions, refining existing ones, or addressing specific needs that go beyond the core responsibilities of the circles. RFPs are particularly valuable when specialized expertise, dedicated full-time resources, or support within a defined timeframe is required. They also allow us to further decentralize our efforts, empowering the community to take a more active role in shaping the future of Deep Funding
