密歇根州立大学采用 Theta EdgeCloud 进行人工智能研究

Theta Labs, a pioneer in decentralized cloud infrastructure for AI, media, and entertainment, today announced that Michigan State University (MSU) will join University of Oregon (UO) as the second US academia customer to adopt Theta EdgeCloud for AI research. MSU’s Secure and Intelligent Things (SEIT) Lab, led by Associate Professor Qiben Yan, will leverage Theta’s advanced decentralized GPU infrastructure to drive innovation in AI, cybersecurity, and distributed systems.

人工智能、媒体和娱乐去中心化云基础设施领域的先驱 Theta Labs 今天宣布，密歇根州立大学 (MSU) 将与俄勒冈大学 (UO) 一起，成为第二家采用 Theta EdgeCloud 进行人工智能研究的美国学术界客户。由 Qiben Yan 副教授领导的密歇根州立大学安全与智能物 (SEIT) 实验室将利用 Theta 先进的去中心化 GPU 基础设施来推动人工智能、网络安全和分布式系统的创新。

MSU is a major Tier 1 research institution, adding a new dimension to Theta Labs’ academic collaborations in the US. As Theta expands its US cloud-based GPU infrastructure with locations in California, Texas and the Midwest, the company will also release the Beta of its fully hybrid cloud-edge computing platform in June 2025, which will incorporate an edge network of over 30,000 edge nodes operated by community members globally. The US and North America account for nearly one-third of these nodes, providing significant synergy to US-based customers.

密歇根州立大学是主要的一级研究机构，为 Theta Labs 在美国的学术合作增添了新的维度。随着 Theta 在加利福尼亚州、德克萨斯州和中西部地区扩展其基于云的 GPU 基础设施，该公司还将于 2025 年 6 月发布其完全混合云边缘计算平台的 Beta 版，该平台将包含超过 30,000 个边缘网络由全球社区成员运营的节点。美国和北美占这些节点的近三分之一，为美国客户提供了显着的协同效应。

Professor Qiben Yan is the director of MSU’s Secure and Intelligent Things (SEIT) Lab, which specializes in IoT security, AI privacy, blockchain resilience, and cybersecurity. His lab conducts cutting-edge research on safeguarding connected devices, systems, and networks from advanced cyber threats, and his work has been featured in top conferences (USENIX Security, ACM CCS, IEEE TIFS) and projects that have earned prestigious funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF).

Qiben Yan 教授是密歇根州立大学安全与智能物联网 (SEIT) 实验室的主任，该实验室专门研究物联网安全、人工智能隐私、区块链弹性和网络安全。他的实验室在保护互联设备、系统和网络免受高级网络威胁方面开展前沿研究，他的工作已在顶级会议（USENIX Security、ACM CCS、IEEE TIFS）和项目中得到专题报道，这些项目获得了美国国家科学院的著名资助科学基金会（NSF）。

The SEIT Lab focuses on developing secure, intelligent systems for IoT and AI applications, with an emphasis on distributed systems, federated learning, and blockchain-powered platforms. Some of their recent achievements include an NSF-funded project on adversarially robust AI for speech recognition and groundbreaking research on secure transaction frameworks for smart contracts. Prof. Yan's leadership has positioned the SEIT Lab as a hub for innovative solutions in cybersecurity and decentralized computing.

SEIT 实验室专注于为物联网和人工智能应用开发安全、智能的系统，重点关注分布式系统、联邦学习和区块链驱动的平台。他们最近的一些成就包括美国国家科学基金会资助的一个关于用于语音识别的对抗性强大人工智能的项目，以及关于智能合约安全交易框架的突破性研究。在严教授的领导下，SEIT 实验室成为网络安全和去中心化计算创新解决方案的中心。
