# AI Task Score & Machine Selection Algorithm

### **AI Task Score**

The **AI\_TASK\_SCORE** measures a machine's performance in completing AI inference tasks during an epoch.

```
AI_TASK_SCORE = 1 + min(1.0, (Σ(task_weight_i × success_i) / TASK_WEIGHT_NORM))
```

* **`task_weight_i`**  : Importance/weight of task *i* (higher means more important).
* **`success_i`** : `1` if the task was completed successfully, `0` if failed.
* **`TASK_WEIGHT_NORM`** : Normalization constant (default: `10`) to cap the score boost at `+1.0`.

### **Weighted Scoring Algorithm for Selecting Machines**

This part chooses **which machine** gets the next AI inference task, based on **three main factors**:

* **Stake Score:** How much $TOPS the machine has staked (more stake = higher trust/reputation).
* **Uptime Score:** How consistently the machine has been online.
* **Latency Score:** How fast the machine responds (lower latency = better).

```
final_score = (
    w_stake × normalized_stake +
    w_uptime × normalized_uptime +
    w_latency × (1 - normalized_latency)
)

normalized_stake = (stake_i - stake_min) / (stake_max - stake_min)
normalized_uptime = (uptime_i - uptime_min) / (uptime_max - uptime_min)
normalized_latency = (latency_i - latency_min) / (latency_max - latency_min)

Top_K = sorted(machines, key=final_score, reverse=True)[:K]
probabilities = [score / sum(scores in Top_K)]

selected_machine = random.choices(Top_K, weights=probabilities, k=1)
```

* **Normalization:** Converts raw values to the **0–1** range so they’re comparable
* **Latency adjustment:** We use **(1 – normalized\_latency)** . So **lower latency = higher score**.
* **w\_stake, w\_uptime, w\_latency:** Adjustable weights for different strategies (e.g., if real-time inference is critical, increase `w_latency`)

### Selection Strategy: Top K + Probabilistic Sampling

* **Calculate `final_score`** for all machines.
* **Pick Top K machines** with the highest scores.
* **Calculate selection probabilities**
* **Randomly select 1 machine** based on these probabilities.
