# Reward Distribution Algorithm: AIPoS

The artificial intelligence within the protocol evaluates each miner based on four criteria:

**Useful work**

How many teraflops are actually spent on AI tasks.

**Stake**

The number of $VDS coins locked (as a guarantee of integrity).

**Uptime**

Operational stability (if a node frequently goes offline, its rating drops).

**Accuracy**

How closely the node’s results match the control checks.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://vadeus-network.gitbook.io/vadeus-network-docs/documentation/the-mechanics-of-ai-mining/reward-distribution-algorithm-aipos.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
