Aethir, GAIB, and GMI Cloud integrate H200 GPUs into decentralized computing platforms

Decentralized cloud infrastructure Aethir announced today it has teamed up with GAIB and GMI Cloud to integrate H200 Tensor Core GPUs into their decentralized computing platforms.

Aethir said the partnership aims to make GPU resources more accessible and cost-effective on a global scale. The move also marked the first deployment of these high-performance units in the web3 environment.

Discussing the partnership, Daniel Wang, CEO of Aethir, said Aethir’s integration with GAIB and GMI Cloud makes it easier for developers and businesses to harness the power of AI, regardless of their location or resources.

“By leveraging our vast network, we’re empowering the next generation of Al developers with the tools they need to efficiently build, train, and deploy powerful models,” Wang noted.

GAIB introduces a new financial model where users can invest in GPU-backed assets, earning rewards and yields, as noted in the announcement.

“GAIB is solving the challenges of investing in illiquid compute assets and high barriers to entry by building an economic layer that turns GPUs into liquid, tradeable yield-bearing assets,” said Kony, CEO of GAIB. “This approach unlocks new investment opportunities, enhances market efficiency, and accelerates the growth of the Al economy.”

Meanwhile, GMI Cloud’s expertise in cloud infrastructure will optimize the integration of H200 GPUs, ensuring peak performance.

“Our mission is to empower humanity’s Al ambitions 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 Al era. By joining forces with two powerful industry players, GMI Cloud is transforming how developers and data scientists utilize NVIDIA GPUs, driving Al innovation for the benefit of all.”

Through the collaboration, the entities are looking to enhance the computational capabilities available to enterprises and developers, particularly for AI and machine learning applications. The H200 GPUs, built on the Hopper architecture, offer improvements in memory, bandwidth, and efficiency over previous models, Aethir stated.

The announcement follows Aethir’s launch of Aethir Catalyst earlier this month. Through the program, Aethir is dedicated to investing $100 million in startups focused on AI and gaming.

The initiative will distribute grants and subsidies to over 100 projects, helping them access high-performance GPU resources essential for their growth and innovation.
