The first 100 creators of the Decentralized Intelligence Economy
Hip-hop legend Anthony “AZ” Cruz has joined Professional Language Models, Inc. as a founding partner and part-owner of PLMMarket.com — launching a nationwide search for the first 100 experts, artists, and visionaries who will reclaim creator IP in the AI era.
AZ joins PLMMarket.com as founding partner
Professional Language Models, Inc. announced a strategic partnership with legendary hip-hop artist AZ, who has officially joined the company as a founding partner and part-owner of PLMMarket.com.
The announcement, broadcast to AZ’s 1.4 million social media followers, launches a nationwide search for 100 experts and visionaries to become founding architects of the Decentralized Intelligence Economy.
“My PLM: living, queryable digital asset, built from my knowledge, my words, my truth, with no scraping, no hallucinations.” — Anthony “AZ” Cruz
Reclaiming ownership
AZ drew on his 30-year legacy in hip-hop — including foundational work on Illmatic, Doe or Die, and The Firm — to frame the current AI landscape as an exploitation of creators.
“Artificial intelligence have been feeding off our thoughts, our stories, our lyrics, our legacy, paying nothing. They call it progress, I call it theft. It’s time for a fix,” AZ declared.
His message to creators was direct: “Your expertise trained AI for free for a decade. That ends today.”
Who should apply?
PLMMarket is recruiting experts, artists, professionals, educators, operators, builders, and visionaries who want their knowledge to become a living, monetizable asset — not free training data.

For selected experts, the PLM Network transforms expertise into an active, revenue-generating system. Powered by a dedicated Windows Server environment and local reasoning capabilities of the Tier 2 Sqwibbl agent, the network can provide contextual answers, process micro-transactions for proprietary insights, and help qualify leads.
“Intelligence is like a tree,” said Philip Bridgeman, Co-Founder and Chief Innovation Officer at PLM, Inc. “Human expertise, captured as PLMs, is the root system. AZ’s partnership helps us rapidly expand that root system.”
