DeepSeek’s Bold AI Claims Raise Questions, Agent A.I. and Its AGNT Presale Bring a Fresh Take

For over a year, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the blockchain and cryptocurrency sectors has been accelerating. According to The Business Research Company, the blockchain AI market is projected to grow from $0.57 billion in 2024 to $0.7 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 23.2%. 

This surge in AI-driven innovation has been fueled by key industry players making bold moves. A Chinese startup, DeepSeek, established itself through disruptive price-conscious AI modeling such as the R1 that brought widespread adoption from Chinese technology corporations. At the same time, OpenAI, under Samuel Altman, continues its worldwide expansion by forming cooperative agreements such as those with Kakao in South Korea while establishing a $3 billion-per-year venture called SB OpenAI Japan with SoftBank. 

However, DeepSeek shook up the AI agents market, not just by proving that building AI models doesn’t require tens of millions but also by making investors reevaluate their AI crypto bets. The initial excitement quickly turned to skepticism as DeepSeek’s efficiency claims started to feel like overpromises, and Sam Altman’s vision of making AI agents part of daily experiences came under fire. Critics pointed out that while ChatGPT is promising, it’s far from perfect, making his bigger, bolder claims feel premature.

Because of all this, the AI agent crypto market took a hit at the end of January, but that doesn’t mean it won’t recover. It just means the world is waiting for real solutions, and the demand for AI-driven innovation is stronger than ever.

Recognizing both the potential and the hype-driven chaos of the AI agent market, Agent A.I. launched its AGNT presale a couple of days ago – part satire, part serious play. While it pokes fun at the frenzy, the project isn’t just another meme-fueled cash grab. Behind the humour is a real plan to shape the future of AI agents with actual utility.

Speaking to Coinpedia, the Agent A.I. team explained:

AI is evolving fast, but so is the nonsense surrounding it. Everyone’s either overpromising or panic-dumping. We figured – why not have some fun with it while actually building something that lasts?

Agent. A.I. – The Big Picture

Agent A.I. aims to achieve real-world, applicable AI agent development through its ecosystem, along with the AGNT token at the center of it, rather than relying on speculation and too-good-to-be-true guarantees. 

The project presents itself as the first-ever Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) system, engineered to tackle complex problems with unmatched efficiency, processing trillions of parameters in milliseconds and competing with even the most advanced cloud platforms.

Agent A.I. adopts a strategic method with satirical elements by fusing intelligence with humor to establish a powerful AI-driven system that surpasses typical AI trend-following initiatives.

Also, Agent A.I. has a clear plan for their way forward, which includes:

• Recruitment & training: token launch, ecosystem setup, and partnerships,
• The expansion of mission activities: staking functions and creating applications for real-world situations,
• Global reach: widespread adoption and AI-driven solutions.

AGNT Presale & Tokenomics

With a history of launching high-cap tokens now worth over $100 million, the Agent A.I. team brings both credibility and expertise to the AGNT presale. The presale follows a structured 28-stage model, with prices gradually increasing before public listing. 

Currently, in stage 2, AGNT is priced at $0.003703, with over almost $99,000 raised in less than a week. 

With the price rising with each phase, getting in early is the smartest move for investors, with plenty of room for growth before the TGE. The listing price is set at $1, which will reflect an over 27,000% increase from stage 2. 

Out of the $5 billion total supply:

• 20% is allocated for presale,
• 25% for staking and rewards,
• 10% for liquidity and exchange listings,
• 5% for community incentives and airdrops.

AGNT is compatible on multiple chains, including Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, Solana, Tron, and more, and can be purchased with cryptocurrencies such as ETH, BNB, POL, SOL, as well as with stablecoins – USTD and USDC. For convenience and for those who prefer fiat, Agent A.I. also allows purchasing AGNT tokens with USD.

AGNT will become available on tier-1 exchanges after the presale finishes, providing increased market accessibility for investors. Agent A.I. expects to establish enduring effects within the AI agent market through their planned staking program, AI-powered tools, new partnerships, and market growth expansion effort.

The AI field generates numerous groundbreaking announcements, yet investors and stakeholders need to exercise critical analysis when assessing these developments. Agent A.I.’s emphasis on useful applications and sustainable expansion functions as an antidote to industry speculation while shaping upcoming AI agent developments.
