Aethir wants the decentralized cloud to speed up gaming and AI
The shift to cloud infrastructure has become a massive trend for the internet. But moving generative AI and gaming applications to the cloud can strain computing resources.
That’s why Singapore-based Aethir is focusing on decentralization — of the sort made possible through blockchain and peer-to-peer networking — as a way to speed up games and AI.
One of the ways it does this is to take graphics processing units (GPUs), which are in short supply, from across a whole decentralized network of infrastructure companies and then more fully utilize them to accelerate computing tasks at hand. The company aims to save 60% on costs.
Today, Aethir is also announcing that it is participating in Nvidia’s Inception program, which has helped support thousands of AI startups over the years. Mark Rydon, CEO of Aethir, said the company wants to blaze trails in Decentralized Cloud Infrastructure (DCI) for gaming and AI. By joining the Inception program, Aethir can propel its mission of revolutionizing the gaming and AI industries.
