The decentralized GPU network puts unused capacity to work for gaming, AI, smartphones and edge computing.
Decentralized cloud infrastructure provider Aethir has reported $36 million in revenue over the past year, which translated into 10% month-on-month growth. Demand for AI, cloud gaming and edge computing power is driving the growth of the decentralized graphics processing unit (GPU) network.
Aethir claims to be the world’s only enterprise-grade GPU-as-a-service decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN). It offers GPU computing services that are highly scalable and up to 60% less expensive than competitors such as Amazon Web Services by providing distributed infrastructure that harnesses existing GPUs with idle capacity.
Aethir uses tier 3 and tier 4 data centers, which are the top two tiers, to source its GPU capacity. Data centers of that type are expected to have an uptime of 99.982%, an Aethir spokesperson told Cointelegraph. Aethir co-founder and head of strategy Mark Rydon said in a statement:
