Hitch Unveils Generative AI Integration with Immutable Miniverse NFTs

Hitch Interactive, a startup specializing in AI, robotics, fintech, and the metaverse, has integrated generative AI into Web3 technology through its Immutable Miniverse NFTs.

By incorporating large language model (LLM) technology into its blockchain framework, Hitch Interactive has launched AI in Immutable Miniverse (AIIM), representing a significant advancement in NFT utility and functionality.

The company introduced the Immutable Miniverse Format (IMF) on its Hitch1999 platform, which allows users to embed immutable information into programmable non-fungible tokens (NFTs). This IMF standard enables the encoding of various types of information, facilitating intelligent interactions between LLMs and users. The limited edition Yummy Hamo collection is the first to showcase this innovative generative AI functionality.

AIIM enhances viewer engagement within embedded NFTs. When a user explores a Yummy Hamo NFT on the Hitch1999 site, they can ask questions about the embedded information, initiating conversations with the LLM. Importantly, the LLM employed by Hitch Interactive is designed to ensure user privacy, as it does not record or share any personal information. Conversations are limited to the data contained within the NFT.

“AI technologies are evolving rapidly, with remarkable breakthroughs driven by modern GPT models. However, many existing GPT products are centralized, providing responses based on generalized knowledge,” stated Allen Yang, co-founder of Hitch Interactive. “AIIM serves as a counterbalance to these centralized AI services, combining the strengths of LLM technologies with the decentralized nature of Web3 applications.”

Hitch Interactive's AIIM service features several unique aspects compared to traditional GPT services, including immutability, individualization, and decentralization. Embedded information remains immutable and decentralized, fostering personalized interactions.

The company's approach ensures privacy, as conversations tied to embedded information do not rely on public GPT services, thus protecting user data.

Looking ahead, Hitch plans to introduce the Hitch Mint product, which will expand functionalities beyond the Yummy Hamo collection. Hitch Mint will empower users to embed personalized information into NFTs, enabling broader applications.

Hitch emphasizes its commitment to decentralization and privacy. Users will have the option to deploy a compact LLM service on their local machines, supporting secure and private AI conversations.

Crystal Tang, CEO of Hitch Interactive, underscored the innovative merging of LLMs and blockchain within the Yummy Hamo NFTs, promising enhanced future applications while safeguarding user privacy.

“LLMs and blockchain are two of the most exciting technologies available today,” Tang stated. “As the first NFT collection to harness both, Yummy Hamo NFT owners can leverage the Hitch1999 site for a multitude of future applications while ensuring their privacy is fully protected.”

The Hitch1999 platform offers a demo for users interested in exploring LLMs embedded in the IMF standard. To learn more about decentralized AI on Web3, visit Hitch1999. For a complete overview of Hitch Interactive’s offerings, check out their portfolio.
