Filecoin and Aethir’s Game-Changing Partnership

• Filecoin partners with Aethir to address GPU scarcity, boosting AI and Web3 infrastructure.
• Aethir integration offers Filecoin improved GPU power, enhancing data processing and decentralized storage capabilities.

Filecoin has taken a huge step in improving its AI and Web3 infrastructure by collaborating with Aethir, a firm known for its decentralized GPU cloud computing capabilities.

This collaboration was officially announced via a tweet by Filecoin, which stated that the Filecoin Foundation has partnered with Aethir to address GPU scarcity and improve the entire infrastructure for AI and Web3 applications.

Aethir’s decentralized GPU leasing services will now be incorporated into Filecoin’s storage network, providing more computing power and storage solutions to address the growing demand for dependable and scalable infrastructure in fields such as artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Big things are happening! @FilFoundation is teaming up with @AethirCloud 💚

With advanced GPU leasing and @LighthouseWeb3 integration, Aethir will help power the #Filecoin Network by securely storing AI and node data.

Filecoin and Aethir’s GPU Integration Enhances AI Data Processing 

This collaboration is timely, as there is an increasing demand for efficient processing and data analysis in AI-driven initiatives. Aethir has over 43,000 GPUs, including Nvidia H100s, that will now be available to Filecoin storage providers, greatly improving their ability to handle and analyze data.

The connection with Lighthouse, a Filecoin-based platform, will also provide eternal storage and data transparency, giving consumers a more reliable and efficient storage solution.

This collaboration, which was officially announced at the FIL Singapore event, intends to address the mounting issues caused by GPU shortages while also paving the path for a more decentralized and balanced infrastructure for AI and Web3 apps.

In addition to this collaboration, Filecoin has shown off its amazing storage capacities in other ways. According to a CNF report, Filecoin currently holds more than 15 exbibytes (EiB) of data, including a significant 500 terabytes (TB) of US government data.

The Democracy Library uploaded a stunning 1 petabyte (PB) of data to Filecoin, demonstrating the network’s ability to manage vast volumes of data securely and effectively.

Furthermore, the Filecoin Virtual Machine (FVM) continues to play an important role in bolstering the Filecoin ecosystem. As we previously noted, FVM supports decentralized financing (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and decentralized applications (dApps), which expands Filecoin’s decentralized storage capabilities.

This innovation enables the Filecoin network to expand its reach and utility beyond data storage, making it a more versatile platform for a wide range of blockchain-based applications.

Meanwhile, as of writing, Filecoin’s native token, FIL, is trading at about $3.76, down 1.28% over the last 24 hours. Despite the current decline, the token has increased by 9.34% over the last week, demonstrating a strong market trend.
