Distilled AI

Distilled AI is an AI agent infrastructure project that appeared in 2024, running inside the Oraichain ecosystem and focused on placing model inference and agent execution into verifiable execution environments. The core technical combination is knowledge distillation and trusted execution environments: distillation transfers capability from a large model into smaller specialized ones to cut inference cost, while the trusted execution environment provides hardware-level isolation so model weights and user input are not readable from outside at runtime, paired with on-chain records to form checkable invocation attestations.

On the product side it includes MESH, an agent collaboration framework, and Agents.land as a deployment entry point; agents can be composed and invoked for tasks such as market assessment and portfolio adjustment, a combination usually labeled DeFAI. It is categorized as infrastructure at the intersection of AI agents and privacy-preserving computation, addressing the lack of verifiability in agent execution, with trusted execution offering an alternative path that does not rely on zero-knowledge proofs.
