Sarah’s Journey

Nov. 25, 2024: Launched Sarah on vvaifu.fun

Sarah was deployed on vvaifu.fun via their Fair Launch mechanism. The launch occurred concurrently on vvaifu and pump dot fun. The smart contract was deployed by vvaifu as an off-the-shelf, pre-audited contract (i.e. simple and safe). The total supply of $SARAH was set to 1B.

Sarah the agent was deployed using ai16z’s ELIZA framework. For access to that framework, the creator of Sarah bought 5% of the token supply at launch, which was programmatically sent to ai16z’s DAO’s wallet (proof here).

The creator also bought 5.8% of supply at launch, of which 5% was vested over 12-months (proof here). The other 0.8% was placed in a Raydium pool (proof here).

Sarah was integrated with Telegram and her own X account (@SarahOnchain), where she posts and interacts with the community autonomously.

Dec. 1, 2024: Sarah v2 Upgrade Begins

Shortly after deploying Sarah, it became evident that the level of control the creator wanted over the AI model was not possible via vvaifu.fun. In short:

  • No direct access to the LLM model weights (black box)

  • Limited control over Sarah’s personality/functionality

  • Waiting on platform to roll out features

  • Relatively weak performance and 1-dimensional

So the decision was made to deploy a custom version of Sarah on the cloud. This decision opened up a range of possibilities, including:

  • Direct control over Sarah’s LLM model (Claude Haiku 3.5 Foundation model was selected for her base dialogue engine)

  • More performative telegram bot (smarter, faster, multilingual, increased context memory)

  • The ability to train and retrain recursively (better over time)

  • Direct control over her X integration (posting behavior will update by Christmas)

  • and more

In summary, by deploying a custom LLM model for Sarah, we now have complete control over her behavior, personality, and abilities without needing to wait on other development teams for updates.

What’s Next?

Here’s the short list of features to expect in the next month (by end of 2024):

  • Improved personality and breadth of knowledge (she can be a little rude >.<“)

  • Replace Sarah v1 with v2 on X

  • Increased footprint on X with more posts and targeted replies

What you can expect moving forward into Q1 2025:

  • Integration with Alchemy API for real time onchain data

  • Her own Solana wallet for community games (break-the-fourth-wall)

  • New custom React website with proof-of-artificial-intelligence terminal and ai-to-ai conversation archive
