[Announcement] AI Network Partners collaborates with AWS to provide Blockchain-based GPU Resources for AI Startups
AI Network, in collaboration with AWS, is expanding the AI Ecosystem and is recruiting AI startups for ‘GPU Accelerator’ Program with Support for up to 8 H100 Units
AI Network has collaborated with AWS (Amazon Web Services) to boost AI development in the startup ecosystem. The partnership is recruiting AI startups for their GPU Accelerator Program.
- AWS x AI Network is providing 8 Nvidia H100 GPUs to one successful startup or open source developer for a total of two months
- One AI startup/company/development team will be chosen from the applicants. The successful applicant must be working on something in the realm of AI development.
- Applications are open until the 25th March 2024. Click here to apply.
- The general public can support the selected AI development team through purchasing Runo NFT. NFT holders will earn passive income and even participate in building the AI ecosystem together.
AI Network is opening up a new starting point to solve the GPU problem in AI development through blockchain technology. On the 11th March, AI Network announced the launch of the 2024 AI Network GPU Accelerator Program in collaboration with AWS. The partnership plans to recruit open-source developers and startups to benefit from this program.
AI Network is recruiting resource providers who want to contribute to AI startups in need of GPU resources, and anyone can become a resource provider & earn passive income in return through Runo NFT.
Initially, startups or open-source developers lacking GPU resources will receive support for some of the necessary resources through this program. The supported GPU is the NVIDIA H100. The H100 is a state-of-the-art GPU system based on the Hopper architecture released last October, capable of accelerating exascale tasks by connecting up to 256 units. It plays a role in processing large language models (LLM) with token counts in the billions using a dedicated transformer engine.
The provided GPU resources are supported jointly by AWS and AI Network. With the goal of building a decentralized AI ecosystem, AI Network allows the general public to contribute the idle GPU resources of their personal devices through the purchase of Runo NFT, while rewarding NFT holders with daily rewards.
AI Network records Runo transactions on the blockchain, then aggregates the contributed GPU resources and supplies them to developers. Various projects such as TuNIB, VIIM, and GoodGang Labs have received GPU resources for their AI projects in this way. Resource providers who purchase GPUs through Runo NFT receive $AIN tokens as compensation and can also expect additional benefits based on the growth of the projects they support.
Particularly noteworthy is the characteristic of the DAO, where AI Network ecosystem members assess and vote on projects for resource provision. This sets the groundwork for creating an AI ecosystem managed collectively by the community, preventing the monopoly of AI models by specific entities or corporations.
Furthermore, startups selected for this program will not only receive free GPU resources but will also enjoy access to technical seminars provided by AWS, as well as programs for exchange, idea sharing and feedback within the AI community. Resource providers who offer GPUs through Runo NFT can contribute to the development of the AI Network ecosystem and the wider AI ecosystem in general, while benefiting from the incentives offered by each project.
The successful applicant selected for this program will be announced on AI Network’s official Twitter account on March 27th. Runo NFTs will be sequentially issued and be made available for sale to the public after the selection of the successful AI startup.
Startups or open-source developers interested in participating can apply through this link.
AI Network is a decentralized AI development ecosystem based on blockchain technology. Within its ecosystem, resource providers can earn $AIN tokens for their GPUs, developers can gain access to GPUs for open source AI programs, and creators can transform their AI creations into AINFTs. The ultimate goal of AI Network is to bring AI to Web3, where everyone can easily develop and utilize artificial intelligence.
