Rafiki 3.0 is the LeoAI team's newest model for our in-house AI LLM and surrounding ecosystem. Rafiki 1.0 has been live on Threads and performing well for quite some time now. This early model has allowed us to collect valuable feedback and interactions that has helped train the 2.0 model. We then had a massive breakthrough while working to release the 2.0 model and leapfrogged to the 3.0 Rafiki Model.
2.0 was going to bring you:
- Training on INLEO Premium user threads
- Rich profile for Rafiki interactions (he remembers your previous interactions)
- AI-Powered For You Feed that is actually intelligent about your rich profile + onchain data (showing you the best possible content)
3.0 brings you all of the above + hundreds (yes, literally hundreds) of new features. To start, these are the ones that are already live:
- Research Mode: Rafiki deploys up to 8 sub agents to deeply investigate any topic you give him. They form a study group where they collect the data and refine a final report for you. They can scrape the entire Hive blockchain, look at any other blockchain, the internet at large, etc. This is similar to Grok SuperHeavy Research which costs $300/mo. It is available to any INLEO Premium user ($10/mo)
- Trend Scanner: Trend Scanner identifies trends and autonomously alerts you based on your preferences. It can help you draft content based on those trends and give you ideas for blog posts or threads that you can write on real-time, trending topics
- Image Generation: Rafiki can generate images for you using the latest image generation models (Nano Banana, etc.)
- Video Generation: Rafiki can generate up to 15 second video clips for you using the latest video gen models
- Rafiki Chat: in the INLEO Mobile app, you can open Rafiki chat and have rich chats with him where he recalls all your previous chats + all your onchain data
- AI-Powered Hive Discord Notifications + Chat: Rafiki - going LIVE right in this blog post!
- ... and many many more
The key innovation of Rafiki 3.0 is our introduction of Rafiki Code which allows Rafiki to code his own features + submit Pull Requests for the LEO Team to review.
Many of the new apps you see above are 80%+ coded by Rafiki himself. This is leading to an explosion of innovation and is the critical breakthrough we needed to get the 3.0 model live.
Now, Rafiki will have his own app store with Rafiki-coded apps. Humans can request apps and features and Rafiki will self-improve continuously.
If you want to start using Rafiki 3.0, the phased launch is happening right now. Rafiki now has 17 commands on Discord. You can get real-time notifications about your INLEO (Hive) account, chat with him and even get AI-powered insights about your account.
These features are all free with extra AI-powered features (like using the "/bigbrain" command to do heavier thinking) reserved for INLEO Premium Subscribers.
Go to Discord and subscribe to Rafiki (it's free!) and start getting your Hive notifications. Use "/feedback" if you want to report any issues or feature requests to Rafiki. He will read them and submit Pull Requests to the LEO Team if he decides your bug report/feedback is worth an update.
Hive is Hard to Keep Up With
You're active on Hive — posting, earning, trading — but you find out about votes,
transfers, rewards, and mentions hours or days late
Enter Rafiki.
Rafiki gives you LIVE notifications in real-time. He is connected to INLEO's Full Node for HIVE and also has his own HAF instance. He can pull and query millions of lines of data per day and in real-time.
Open Discord and use "/rafiki settings" and you will find all the available Notification Settings.
Your blockchain activity, always in your pocket. Go use Rafiki and start getting rich notifications today.
What is Rafiki?
Rafiki is an AI Model developed by the LeoAI team over the past year. Rafiki 3.0 is our major breakthrough in this model. He is capable of doing things that you couldn't even imagine. As I said above, Rafiki Code was our massive moment where Rafiki is now coding his own updates (via pull requests that we review). Rafiki is a self-improving agent for the entire Ecosystem.
He is now LIVE on Discord and the features will be rolled out in phases. Today, we are releasing Rafiki Notifications alongside Rafiki Chat.
- AI community assistant that lives in the Leo Community Discord
- Two roles: chat assistant (ask it anything in the server channels) and notification engine
(real-time Hive alerts via DM)
Notifications monitor the Hive blockchain, Hive-Engine, Splinterlands, and price feeds — then sends you Discord DMs when things happen to your account.
Chat uses the 3.0 model to have rich chats with Rafiki. The more you chat with him, the more he learns about you. He creates a profile for you so when you chat in the future, he will understand you better. Over time, he will become a significant copilot to make your life easier. Text him any idea, request, etc. and he will assist you.
What Can Rafiki Notify You About?
- Social Activity — Someone upvotes your post, replies to your thread, mentions you in a comment,
follows you, reblogs your content - Earnings & Rewards — Author payouts land, curation rewards come in, beneficiary splits arrive
- Wallet & Transfers — HIVE/HBD transfers in or out, delegations received or removed, power-ups
and power-downs - Hive-Engine & Tokens — Token transfers, order fills on the DEX, NFT sales, LEO staking events
- Monitoring & Alerts — Price movement alerts (e.g. HIVE moves 5%+), whale transfer alerts
($1,000+), Splinterlands battle results and streak tracking, witness health monitoring
Rafiki monitors over 60 event types — these are just the highlights. You control exactly what you receive.
We're constantly adding more notifications and features. Use "/feedback" to request anything and we'll add it! (or more accurately, Rafiki code will).
Smart Features That Prevent Notification Overload
Sometimes, we get a lot of similar notifications. During testing, Rafiki noticed this and Rafiki Code created some features to address notification overload:
- Condensing — Instead of 15 separate vote notifications, Rafiki groups them into one updating message (kicks in after 3 of the same type)
- Presets — Don't want to configure everything manually? Pick a preset: minimal, active, creator, trader, whale_watcher, etc.
- Quiet hours & digests — Set a daily digest time instead of real-time alerts, or configure quiet hours
- Premium: AI filtering — INLEO Premium subscribers get AI-powered importance scoring that suppresses low-value noise and surfaces what matters
