Aethir announces partnership with GAIB and GMI Cloud
Aethir, a decentralized cloud infrastructure provider, has partnered with GAIB, an AI computing economic layer, and GMI Cloud, a cloud service provider focused on AI and AGI, to integrate the most advanced H200 Tensor Core GPU into its decentralized computing ecosystem. This marks the first production use of the H200 GPU in the Web3 space, providing high-performance computing technology for enterprises and developers.
The H200 Tensor Core GPU is the latest high-performance graphics processing unit (GPU) designed to accelerate AI and machine learning workloads. The H200 is built on the innovative Hopper architecture, which offers significant improvements in memory capacity, bandwidth and computing efficiency compared to its predecessor, the H100. These enhancements make the H200 ideal for enterprises and developers working on complex deep learning and generative AI applications. Additionally, the collaboration will make GPU resources more accessible and cost-effective globally.
Through this move, Aethir, GAIB, and GMI Cloud will provide enterprise customers with the powerful computing power needed to handle demanding GPU tasks, including large language model (LLM) training and AI inference. This integration provides enterprises with a new decentralized way to access the latest GPU technology, thereby accelerating the development of large-scale AI applications.
GAIB introduces a new type of yield asset backed by real AI cash flows. GMI Cloud stakes physical H200 GPUs on the GAIB network, which are then staked on Aethir, making these computing resources available to anyone who needs them. In the future, GAIB will tokenize and on-chain these GPUs and their earnings. This will enable users to directly invest, trade, and own GPUs as assets. By purchasing GPU NFTs, users can receive rewards and earnings generated by the underlying GPUs that support Web2 and Web3 AI needs.
As an important partner in this collaboration, GMI Cloud also plays a vital role in optimizing the integration of H200 GPUs into decentralized networks, leveraging its expertise and technical resources in cloud technology. GMI's extensive experience in cloud infrastructure ensures that the potential of H200 GPUs can be realized, driving innovation in AI development and increasing accessibility for developers around the world.
“Our mission is to empower humanity’s ambitions in AI with an efficient, on-demand GPU cloud,” said Alex Yeh, founder and CEO of GMI Cloud. “We’re not just building a cloud, we’re creating the backbone of the AI era. By joining forces with two powerful industry players, GMI Cloud is changing the way developers and data scientists use NVIDIA GPUs, driving AI innovation for the benefit of everyone.”
“With this integration, we are delivering enterprise-grade decentralized GPU computing on a global scale,” said Daniel Wang, CEO of Aethir. “By leveraging our vast network, we are giving the next generation of AI developers the tools they need to efficiently build, train, and deploy powerful models.”
“GAIB is addressing the challenges of investing in illiquid computing assets and high barriers to entry by building an economic layer that transforms GPUs into liquid, tradable, yield-earning assets,” said Kony, CEO of GAIB. “This approach unlocks new investment opportunities, improves market efficiency, and accelerates the growth of the AI economy.”
