Aethir, a provider of decentralized GPU cloud compute, announced the launch of AI Unbundled, an industry-wide alliance for the development of artificial intelligence in Web3. The company said AI Unbundled is the next step in Aethir’s mission to deliver end-to-end infrastructure, foster industry-wide collaboration, and accelerate AI adoption. Through AI Unbundled, Aethir establishes a collaborative framework that connects AI builders to decentralized computing, funding, and go-to-market support, creating an all-in-one solution to support projects from inception to market deployment. The alliance will support AI startups through various programs, including joint grant funding between $10,000 and $100,000, subsidized access to decentralised GPU infrastructure from Aethir, 0G’s inference and verification tools, and other alliance partners’ grants and support. Additional benefits include co-branded industry events, workshops, and dedicated hackathons to spotlight emerging projects, along with early access to decentralized tools like ERC-7857—the iNFT standard developed by 0G Labs to enable secure, composable AI agents. Startups will also be connected through a shared resource hub that streamlines onboarding, facilitates ecosystem introductions, and provides co-marketing, technical mentorship, and event opportunities.
