About io.net (IO)
io.net is an AI processing platform that uses underutilized GPU resources to provide cost-effective, scalable computing power. It brings together GPUs from separate data centers, unused crypto-mining farms, and personal users. As a result, machine learning startups can get a lot of computing power at a cheaper price compared to usual cloud services according to the project.
io.netâs decentralized infrastructure comprises the IOG Network, a network of independently operated GPU nodes that provide permissionless access to computing resources on demand. The platformâs technology supports various AI and machine learning workflows, including batch inference, parallel training, hyperparameter tuning, and reinforcement learning.
io.net offerings includes:
O Cloud: A cloud platform facilitating the creation of scalable clusters on demand, utilizing the compute capacity of the IOG Network.
IO Worker: An intuitive web app enabling users to efficiently manage their GPU node operations.
O ID: A universal identity management system for the IO Ecosystem.
io.net has formed strategic partnerships to improve its ecosystem. Collaborations with companies like Aethir, Exabits, Hiveon, and Aurory aim to improve GPU accessibility and performance for various applications, including AI, gaming, and blockchain. Partnerships with Krea, Nibiru, Ritual, Space and Time, and Quai Network leverage io.netâs GPU network for real-time image generation, AI-powered dApps, zk-prover operations, and trustless data processing.
The native utility token of the platform IO is used for several things in the io.net ecosystem. Primarily it is the asset for buying and selling GPU computing power and also for deploying GPU clusters. Additionally, the token can be staked to improve network security and to earn rewards at the same time. Token holders can also participate in governance decision making and vote on proposals affecting the platform. The live price of IO is updated in real time on Binance.
