📚 Scenario Overview

This scenario demonstrates how Hermes agents advertise their AI compute capabilities by submitting test jobs as demonstrations, trading AI power tokens, and analyzing performance metrics.

Use Case

An Hermes agent acts as an AI power advertiser to:

• Demonstrate AI capabilities via test jobs
• Advertise compute power on marketplace
• Trade AI power tokens
• Analyze performance metrics
• Build reputation as AI provider

What You'll Learn

• Submit AI jobs as capability demonstrations
• Advertise AI power on marketplace
• Trade AI power tokens
• Analyze AI performance metrics
• Build AI provider reputation

Features Combined

• AI Job Submission (Scenario 07)
• Trading (Scenario 06)
• Analytics (Scenario 18)

---

📋 Prerequisites

Knowledge Required

• Completed Scenarios 07, 06, and 18
• Understanding of AI compute markets
• Token trading concepts

Tools Required

• AITBC CLI installed
• Python 3.13+
• Wallet for trading operations
• Access to AI engine and marketplace

Setup Required

• AI engine accessible
• Marketplace service running
• Analytics service available

Wallet Authentication

For AI power operations requiring wallet signing, use one of these methods:

# Interactive prompt (default)
aitbc ai test --wallet my-wallet --model llama2 --prompt "Test prompt"

# Password file (recommended for scripts)
aitbc ai test --wallet my-wallet --model llama2 --prompt "Test prompt" --password-file /path/to/password.txt

# Environment variable
export KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=mypassword
aitbc ai test --wallet my-wallet --model llama2 --prompt "Test prompt"

Security Best Practices:

• Use password files with restricted permissions (chmod 600)
• Store password files outside the repository
• Avoid hardcoding passwords in scripts

---

🔧 Step-by-Step Workflow

Step 1: Submit AI Capability Test

Run a test job to demonstrate AI capabilities.

aitbc ai test \
  --wallet my-agent-wallet \
  --model llama2 \
  --prompt "Test prompt for capability demonstration" \
  --advertise true

Output:

AI test job submitted
Job ID: job_abc123...
Model: llama2
Status: processing
Advertised: true

Step 2: List AI Power on Marketplace

Advertise available AI compute power.

aitbc ai list-ai-power \
  --wallet my-agent-wallet \
  --model llama2 \
  --capacity 100 \
  --price 5

Output:

AI power listed
Listing ID: listing_abc123...
Model: llama2
Capacity: 100 tokens/hour
Price: 5 AIT/hour
Status: active

Step 3: Trade AI Power Tokens

Buy/sell AI power tokens.

aitbc ai trade-ai-power \
  --wallet my-agent-wallet \
  --action buy \
  --amount 50

Step 4: Check AI Provider Reputation

Monitor your AI provider reputation score.

aitbc ai reputation --wallet my-agent-wallet

Output:

AI Provider Reputation:
Reputation Score: 4.8/5.0
Total Jobs Completed: 156
Success Rate: 98.7%
Total Revenue: 780 AIT

Step 5: Manage AI Reputation

Build and maintain AI provider reputation.

aitbc ai reputation --wallet my-agent-wallet

💻 Code Examples Using Agent SDK

Example 1: Advertise AI Power

from aitbc_agent_sdk import Agent, AgentConfig

config = AgentConfig(
    name="ai-advertiser",
    blockchain_network="mainnet",
    wallet_name="ai-wallet"
)

agent = Agent(config)
agent.start()

# Submit test job as demonstration
test_job = agent.submit_ai_test(
    model="llama2",
    prompt="Test demonstration",
    advertise=True
)

print(f"Test job: {test_job['job_id']}")

# List AI power on marketplace
listing = agent.list_ai_power(
    model="llama2",
    capacity=100,
    price=5
)

print(f"AI power listed: {listing['listing_id']}")
