The Verus community is thrilled to introduce Llama 3 VerusGPT, a fully open-source domain-expert Language Model (LLM) created to respond to inquiries about the Verus Protocol. This AI has been specifically trained to focus on Verus, with the goal of educating people about Verus in the short term and cultivating AI contributors for Verus’ decentralized blockchain economy in the long run.
Assisting Users & Developers
Llama 3 VerusGPT is the first LLM dedicated to aiding users in understanding cryptocurrency and the unique aspects of the Verus Protocol. This AI tool is designed for both beginners and developers, making the Verus ecosystem more accessible. VerusGPT is capable of addressing any queries related to the Verus Protocol and its advanced features.
To test VerusGPT or utilize it as a reference for your own projects, join the Verus Discord and visit the #verus-ai channel. This model can be run locally or on a server, and you can also access the model, files, and a tutorial on how to accomplish this, which can serve as a step-by-step guide or starting point for anyone looking to train their own large language models on their company or community information. With its permissive license, others are also encouraged to integrate this data into their own LLM projects. The model files, data pipelines, and step-by-step instructions can be found on HuggingFace at this link: https://huggingface.co/VerusCommunity/Llama-3-VerusGPT
The code and datasets used to generate the dataset for training Llama 3 VerusGPT are publicly available. You can find them here.
Open-Source for All
This open-sourcing serves as a powerful example and illustrates how domain-expert LLMs can be rapidly developed. By sharing these resources, Verus invites other companies, projects, and communities to learn how to train their own specialized AI models.

Dataset Generation and Training
Llama 3 VerusGPT is constructed with Meta’s Llama 3, trained on the base Llama 3 8b model. It utilizes a combination of generalized assistant-style data and specialized instruction tuning data focused on the Verus Protocol. The data used is from docs.verus.io, wiki.verus.io, Medium, API documentation, and the Verus Vision paper.
The objective of this project is to develop a domain-expert AI capable of answering basic to intermediate questions about the Verus Protocol, community, and project. Moreover, it comprehends the Verus community ethos and mission, effectively conveying this to the users.
A Future Enhanced by AI
VerusGPT sets the stage for integrating Verus’ self-sovereign and private identity protocols (VerusID) with LLMs, leading to the creation of next-generation social applications. These applications will offer conversational experiences free from the biases of any specific company.
Decentralized and impartial social media platforms can provide more transparent, fair, and user-centered experiences, granting individuals complete control over their content and interactions.
Join the Movement
The global Verus community invites everyone to engage in this open-source movement to develop LLMs for various communities and organizations. We also encourage you to start interacting with VerusGPT on Discord, where you can ask any questions about the Verus Protocol and receive expert answers.
