Relationship States
| State |
Meaning |
| Announced |
Relationship or announcement exists, but integration details are not documented. |
| Exploratory |
Technical or business discovery is in progress. |
| Integrated |
A technical integration exists in code, configuration, or a controlled demo. |
| Live |
Integration is available to users or operators with access instructions. |
| Historical |
Preserved for project history, not presented as active. |
Demand-Side Partner Path
Demand-side partners are invited to test Cortensor AI inference APIs, experiment with decentralized inference in real workflows, and provide feedback before broader production rollout. The intended partner path is early testing, integration feedback, and later transition into production usage when the relevant network and product surfaces are available.
