New York, USA, February 18th, 2025, io.net has announced a new partnership with Gaia , the decentralized AI agent network that lets users host, own, and interact with AI agents. This partnership will allow Gaia to leverage io.net’s global network of decentralized GPU clusters to facilitate smooth execution and create a seamless AI agent inferencing experience. Gaia AI will utilize io.net’s GPUs to increase the performance of AI agents and reduce the time required to process AI models for real-time use, giving users access to the most cutting-edge and sophisticated AI models with greater precision. Strategic Benefits of Partnership "We are excited to power Gaia’s AI agent ecosystem with our decentralized GPU network and to make AI inferencing on Gaia more efficient and secure through our partnership," said Tausif Ahmed, Chief BD Officer at io.net. Gaia's CEO, Matt Wright, added, "This collaboration with io.net supercharges our agentic network, giving our agents the computational firepower they need to handle complex tasks in real-time. Decentralized AI needs scalable, secure infrastructure, and io.net’s GPU network is crucial to making that a reality." This partnership is backed by a commitment to data privacy. io.net ensures that all AI processes on its network protect data privacy. Both platforms also see significant potential for increased collaboration in the future. Efforts will go towards providing AI services securely through a decentralized platform, developing AI solutions for edge computing where quick response times are essential, and participating in research to expand the capabilities of AI and decentralized technologies. To solidify its commitment to this initiative, io.net is sponsoring Gaia's Autonomous Hackathon by providing computing power to the winners to help them further develop their projects. About io.net io.net is a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) that deploys and manages on-demand, decentralized GPU clusters from geo-distributed sources. Its network consists of thousands of GPUs specifically architected for low latency, compute-intensive use cases like AI/ML ops and cloud gaming. io.net is designed to democratize access to GPU compute capacity while reducing costs, expediting lead times, and expanding options for engineers and businesses. Access compute capacity for a fraction of the cost or become a capacity supplier at io.net.

Using blockchain technology, it ensures that each AI node operates autonomously while participating in a larger, interconnected AI ecosystem. Users can run AI models like Qwen2 0.5B Instruct on their nodes, empowered by the ability to customize them with personal or business data to create unique AI services. Gaia’s AI network promotes data sovereignty and privacy, creating a marketplace where AI capabilities can be shared or monetized. Users only need to install the Gaia node software and initialize it with a model configuration before they are able to join or create domains for broader AI interaction.
