 Right, so the agents would run on the client, or perhaps on a relay?

Already having a network makes this a step beyond what we have even with the GPTs marketplace. I’m imaging we’ll have a Zapier-like experience where I can choose to react to a certain event using a DVM function(s) and generate other events as a result. 

The network enables all of this. 

Very cool.

 Well… an agent would probably also be a DVM.

There would be simple DVMs that are like single actions. This is largely what we have now. Generate an image from this string or translate this note.

Soon we’ll have DVMs that use other DVMs before responding to the user. And this could go on and on if the task is complex enough.

I think agents will be standalone, outside of clients and relays because they’ll probably be doing lots of work. That’s the nice thing about DVMs, they let you have compute outside of clients and relays.
