April 21, 2025 — Aethir, a decentralized GPU cloud computing provider, announced the formation of AI Unbundled, an industry-wide alliance aimed at accelerating artificial intelligence development in Web3. The initiative brings together leading decentralized infrastructure providers, blockchain networks, and investment firms to create a collaborative ecosystem for AI innovation.
Key Partners and Objectives
The alliance includes prominent names such as:
- 0G Labs (decentralized AI OS)
- Biconomy (blockchain middleware)
- Polyhedra (scalable AI infrastructure)
- Oasis Protocol Foundation (privacy-preserving AI)
- ChainGPT, IoTeX, iExec, and others
AI Unbundled aims to address the growing compute demands of AI development by providing:
- Decentralized GPU infrastructure (via Aethir's network)
- Joint grant funding ($10K-$100K per project)
- Technical support including 0G's inference tools
- Go-to-market resources and co-branded events
Why This Matters
As AI adoption grows, training large language models and generative tools requires massive computational power. Web3's decentralized approach offers:
- Cost-efficient infrastructure
- Permissionless access
- Composable AI agents (via standards like ERC-7857)
Daniel Wang, Aethir CEO, stated: "AI Unbundled is our commitment to making decentralized AI development viable by providing open, scalable infrastructure."
Benefits for Startups
Selected projects will gain:
- Subsidized access to Aethir's GPU network
- Early adoption of decentralized tools
- Mentorship and co-marketing opportunities
- Participation in alliance hackathons
Ada Heinrich (0G Labs CMO) added: "This amplifies our commitment to powering builders shaping decentralized AI's future."
How to Join
AI developers and startups can apply through a dedicated portal. The alliance welcomes both early-stage projects and established teams exploring decentralized technologies.
