Decentralized Compute Platform Io.net Expands Infrastructure with Aethir GPUs to Advance AI Computing
New York, USA, May 14th, 2024, Chainwire
io.net, a leading provider of decentralized computing technology, has announced a significant expansion of its GPU infrastructure in partnership with Aethir, a leading enterprise-grade AI-focused GPU-as-a-service provider, marking a pivotal moment in its ongoing efforts to enhance blockchain and AI compute capabilities.
In the first phase of the rollout, io.net has integrated over 300 NVIDIA H100 GPUs from Aethir onto its fast-growing network. In partnership, Aethir and IO will be deploying a total of 1,000 H100 GPUs before the end of May, tripling all available H100s combined from competitors in Web3, such as Akash, and significantly boosting computational power for its users.
Among the most powerful on the market today, NVIDIA H100 GPUs are designed to manage intensive tasks such as AI training and large-scale computational simulations with enhanced efficiency and speed. This development not only strengthens io.net’s service offerings but also cements its position in the highly competitive landscape of decentralized computing networks.
“This expansion represents an important leap forward for io.net as we continue to advance the field of decentralized computing,” said Ahmad Shadid, CEO of io.net.
“The additional GPU capacity will enable our growing user base – which includes a considerable number of machine learning engineers – to tackle more complex and demanding computational tasks, aligning with our commitment to continuous innovation and unrivaled UX.”
The expansion follows the recent news of io.net’s partnership with cloud computing infrastructure platform Aethir. The pair joined forces in April and boast a collective 640,000 GPUs, with the goal of democratizing and decentralizing AI infrastructure while making supercomputing power more economically viable and locally accessible.
“The ever-evolving field of AI demands ever-increasing raw GPU power to fuel its groundbreaking advancements,” said Aethir CEO Daniel Wang. “With Aethir’s supply of NVIDIA H100s, we empower AI and machine learning enterprises to launch and operate groundbreaking AI platforms. With our GPUs and IO’s innovative clustering solution, this collaboration unleashes a GPU cloud computing powerhouse. This isn’t just about powering today’s AI products; it’s about enabling developers and enterprises to efficiently scale and launch the AI solutions of tomorrow.”
This particular strategic alliance combines io.net’s extensive decentralized computing infrastructure with Aethir’s advanced GPU resources, including over 4,000 state-of-the-art NVIDIA H100 GPUs.
Looking ahead, io.net remains committed to continuous growth and technological progress in the evolving decentralized computing space. The company is dedicated to ensuring its state-of-the-art network remains responsive to the evolving needs of its clients, many of whom are seeking access to scalable distributed clusters at lower costs than those offered by comparable centralized services.
By integrating a fresh supply of H100 GPUs with io.net’s infrastructure, Aethir is showcasing its dedication to decentralized GPU cloud computing as the go-to solution for AI and machine learning enterprises. The rapidly growing AI industry is on an exponential growth path, and Aethir’s expanding decentralized cloud computing infrastructure has the necessary resources to empower AI development and creativity on a global scale.
