A sovereign AI is something you run yourself, or have hosted for you by someone you trust.

It reads your npub, your history, and your web of trust.

It learns how *you* discover truth.

When you search, it doesn’t return what’s popular or profitable for advertisers.

It returns what has proven meaningful inside your trust graph.

No nudging and no algorithmic mind control.

Just independent search and curation.

The interesting part comes next.

The research this AI does on your trust graph can be shared, at a cost of a few sats,

with other sovereign AIs doing the same work for other people.

Not pooled models.

Not shared data.

Just signals.

Over time, the AIs that are most useful get queried more,

earn more sats and can justify more processing power.

When they recommend Fanfares content that proves valuable,

referral splits route value automatically.

Users who think well gain better intelligence.
AIs that serve well gain more trust.
Signals that align with reality propagate.
Noise becomes uneconomic.

What emerges is an intelligence layer with no centre to capture. It can be composed of sovereign nodes, human and machine, each accountable, each optional, each competing to be useful.

This is what happens once discovery, identity, and value are no longer owned by platforms.
