Aethir launches an “AI Unbundled” alliance to advance Web3 AI development
Key takeout
AI Un Unbundled is a new alliance led by AETHIR, which will promote AI development for Web3 by bringing together various partners.
The initiative will provide AI startups with opportunities to collaborate through fundraising, access to decentralized resources and co-branded events.
A pioneer in the decentralized cloud infrastructure of AI and gaming, Aethir is launching AI Unbundled, a new industry alliance aimed at driving artificial intelligence innovation within the Web3 ecosystem. The team shared it in Monday’s announcement.
AI Unbundled provides a co-framework that connects AI builders with decentralized computing resources, funding, and to-market support.
Through this initiative, AI builders can seamlessly leverage high-performance, cost-effective infrastructure that is critical to training and deployment of advanced models.
“AI is entering a new phase, and the team building at the edge of this movement needs more than access to calculations. It needs access to a full ecosystem,” said Daniel Wang, CEO of Aethir.
“The lack of AI bundled supports projects that drive positive impact and innovation by providing builders with open, scalable and configurable infrastructure,” Wang added.
The initiative will connect major distributed infrastructure providers, blockchain networks, and investment companies, including 0G Lab, Buyconomy, Polyhedra, Oasis Protocol Foundation, Chaingpt, IOTEX, IEXEC, Geodnet, Flock.io, Alpha Neural AI, Deagent AI, Deagent AI, and OERT.
Alliance provides AI startups with joint grants ranging from $10,000 to $100,000, providing access to grants to decentralized GPU infrastructure and access to 0G inference and verification tools.
The program includes co-branded industry events, workshops, and dedicated hackathons, as well as early access to distributed tools such as ERC-7857, an INFT standard for protecting AI agents. Startups will also receive access to shared resource hubs for ecosystem implementation, collaborative marketing, and technical mentorship.
“0G Lab is a decentralized OS for AI. It expands the unparalleled scale and modularity of real-time on-chain intelligence. Participating in AI amplifies our commitment to promoting the builders shaping the future of decentralized AI.”
AI developers and early stage startups working in AI and Web3 are invited to apply to join the AI bundle. The alliance is open to both emerging and established teams looking to build using decentralized technology.
Aethir currently operates a distributed network of over 425,000 enterprise-grade GPUs distributed across 95 countries, making it one of the world’s largest platforms for GPU-A-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As-As
To accelerate the adoption of decentralized GPU cloud infrastructure, the company will establish partnerships with leading organizations in the blockchain, AI and cloud computing sectors, fostering innovation across the AI and gaming sectors, creating a sustainable, comprehensive, high-performance computing ecosystem.
Notable partners include Eigenlayer, Solana, Avalanche Foundation, Plume, Filecoin Foundation, and Near Foundation.
