A project called Hyperspace claimed to be the first distributed AGI system, utilizing 660 agents to conduct 27,000 experiments. However, its most significant discovery, which it highlighted as proof of its system's efficacy, was the Kaiming initialization method. This method has been a standard in deep learning libraries since 2015 and was published eleven years ago. While the underlying infrastructure, including gradient compression and peer-to-peer networking, is technically impressive, the project is described as a parallel random search engine with strong branding rather than true AGI.
