Aethir Launches AI Unbundled, a Decentralized AI Infrastructure Alliance

Beyond Aethir and Injective partnership, the company brings a whole new Web3 AI alliance: Aethir launches AI Unbundled, together 0G Labs, Biconomy

Aether, a blockchain startup focused on building an open-source decentralized GPU infrastructure, has announced a new alliance with several Web3 startups to develop Web3 AI.

The startup announced the partnership with 0G Labs, Biconomy, ChainGPT, GEODNET, IoTeX, Oasis Protocol, FLock.io, OORT, DeAgent AI, Polyhedra, iExec, and AlphaNeural AI to launch AI Unbundled.

Together, they aim to overcome the boundaries of Web3 to create a decentralized AI infrastructure. Aethir acts as the main initiator, organizer, and coordinator of the alliance, and provides the core distributed GPU infrastructure.

Meanwhile, the partners will contribute their best technical scaling and go-to-market support for projects, and grant initiatives.

“We are excited to be joining forces with Aethir and other leading startups in the Web3 space to launch AI Unbundled,” said Sebastien Evrard, CEO of iExec.

“At iExec, we are committed to advancing the development of decentralized AI products and services. We believe that AI should be accessible to everyone, everywhere. This alliance will help us to achieve that goal by removing the key barriers to entry, such as fragmented infrastructure and limited access to high-performance computing resources.”

Details on AI UnbundledIt’s worth noting that just today, we reviewed how most top performers and upcoming ICOs are related to the convergence of blockchain and AI in one way or another.

And now we’re seeing full-fledged alliances forming around this concept. Of course, this isn’t the first — the more widely known Artificial Superintelligence Alliance includes Fetch.ai, which recently developed its own LLMs. However, they are not the only ones aiming to move AI development and infrastructure into Web3 — to make it decentralized, efficient, and accessible.

AI Unbundled, the alliance launched by Aethir, while not identical in its goals and methods to the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance, shares a similar focus and presents significant potential.

All participants aim to remove key barriers hindering the development of decentralized AI products — including fragmented infrastructure and limited access to high-performance computing resources. Ultimately, their goal is to create scalable development conditions by offering technical solutions, financial incentives for developers, and acceleration to market through industry-wide consolidation.
