- It includes events, workshops, and hackathons, along with early access to technologies like ERC-7857 and a shared hub to support mentorship, networking, and go-to-market strategies.
Aethir has announced the launch of AI Unbundled, an alliance focused on enabling artificial intelligence development on decentralized infrastructure.
The initiative aims to give startups and developers access to technical resources, funding, and opportunities for collaboration, with the goal of accelerating the creation of AI-based solutions within the web3 ecosystem.
Aethir: The Leading Decentralized Compute Provider
The program grants access to a global network of high-performance GPUs at reduced costs. This infrastructure already includes more than 425,000 units distributed across 95 countries, making Aethir one of the top decentralized compute providers. In addition to technical access, startups can apply for grants ranging from $10,000 to $100,000, along with inference tools, verification support, and technical assistance to deploy advanced models.
AI Unbundled also aims to promote collaboration through industry events, technical workshops, and hackathons. Registered users will receive early access to technologies such as ERC-7857, a standard designed to secure intelligent agents through blockchain-based contracts. The program also features a shared hub that supports ecosystem connections, technical mentoring, and joint marketing efforts.
Who Is Part of the Alliance?
The alliance includes multiple projects working on decentralized infrastructure and related technologies, such as 0G Labs, Biconomy, Polyhedra, Oasis Protocol Foundation, ChainGPT, IoTeX, iExec, GEODNET, Flock.io, Alpha Neural AI, DeAgent AI, and OORT. It also brings in organizations already collaborating with Aethir on other initiatives, including EigenLayer, Solana, Avalanche Foundation, Plume, Filecoin Foundation, and NEAR Foundation.
Daniel Wang, CEO of Aethir, stated that AI teams need more than compute power. They require scalable tools, accessible infrastructure, and an environment that allows them to deploy complex solutions. AI Unbundled aims to meet that need directly by offering technical resources, financial support, and access to an ecosystem ready for AI and blockchain development.
The program is now open to developers and teams working on AI and decentralized tech projects. Aethir seeks to enable the development of efficient, secure, and accessible tools without relying on centralized providers.
