io.net’s Post

io.net and Aethir join forces in a strategic collaboration to enhance enterprise-grade compute access and performance for decentralized clustering, virtualization, and orchestration technology for developers worldwide. This partnership will integrate io.net’s virtualization technology with Aethir’s distributed GPU cloud to create a powerful, low-latency, and cost-effective solution for GPU-intensive workloads. AI/ML engineers can now access Aethir’s supply of 40,000 enterprise-grade GPUs on io.net’s growing network of over 750,000 GPUs across 139 countries. A total $100M commitment has been made from both projects to advance DePIN development and community growth. https://lnkd.in/gyeWUXbW

The io.net network has onboarded over 610K GPUs and over 395K worker nodes since launching on November 3rd and is building the world’s largest AI compute cloud. Users of the network can cluster, customize and deploy thousands of best-in-class GPUs like A100s and H100s entirely on-demand at prices up to 90% cheaper than traditional cloud providers. Over $625K in worker earnings have been distributed to users contributing spare compute capacity to the network and fueling the next generation of AI innovators.

“Compute is going to be the currency of the future” - Sam Altman io.net is building IO into the currency of compute.

“The benefits of decentralized compute include customizability, open access, and better contract terms. These blockchain-based compute firms allow small AI players to avoid the substantial expense and general unavailability of high-end GPUs like H100s and A100s.” As VanEck notes, the increasing demand for GPUs significantly reduces their availability while simultaneously increasing their expense., restricting access to the compute capacity required by AI/ML engineers. io.net Cloud addresses this by aggregating geographically distributed GPUs into a DePIN, facilitating the provision of compute capacity at the scale and low-latency required by AI and ML companies. Engineers can customize speed, location, and security level before instantaneously deploying clusters at 90% cheaper. https://lnkd.in/erhNJfNA

BC8, a free-to-use stable diffusion model powered entirely by io.net’s decentralized clusters, generates photorealistic AI images in seconds based on a single prompt. Since its launch more than 510K AI images have been generated on BC8. Each image is fully on-chain and verifiable on Solana through io.net’s “Proof of Compute” function.
