Nuklai, a company building smart data ecosystems, has announced a new partnership with io.net, a decentralized GPU aggregator network. This collaboration aims to address the current challenges of data access and computational resources for AI and machine learning (ML) tasks.

Breaking Down Data Silos and Expanding Choices

Nuklai’s mission is to break down data silos and create a marketplace where valuable data can be easily accessed and utilized. Reliable compute power is crucial for this ecosystem, allowing users to analyze data and generate insights. The partnership with io.net provides Nuklai users with a wider variety of choices for their GPU needs.

io.net: The Airbnb for GPU Clusters

io.net offers a decentralized cloud computing network that allows users to access powerful GPU clusters at a fraction of the cost of traditional options. Often referred to as the “Airbnb for GPU clusters,” io.net aims to create a network with one million GPUs.

Solving the GPU Scarcity Problem

The current global shortage of GPUs hinders the progress of many AI startups. Large companies like Meta and Google can afford expensive hardware, but smaller players struggle to compete. io.net tackles this issue by tapping into underutilized resources like idle GPUs in homes and data centers. Their research suggests that data centers only utilize 18% of their GPU capacity, highlighting a significant opportunity.

Harnessing Underutilized Resources and Building Powerful Networks

io.net has already onboarded over 24,000 GPUs and boasts a waitlist of 200,000 more. Unlike traditional GPU aggregators, io.net leverages clustering services to combine even less powerful hardware into high-performance computing networks. This approach provides Nuklai users with decentralized, cost-efficient, and customizable access to GPU power.

Benefits for Both Sides

The partnership benefits both Nuklai and io.net. Nuklai can expand its capabilities for training large language models (LLMs) within its smart data economy. io.net gains access to Nuklai’s data infrastructure, which can be used to create private data networks and monetize data. Nuklai’s data enthusiasts can further enhance io.net’s data with valuable metadata, making it even more useful for AI and LLM applications.

Looking Ahead: Collaboration and Growth

This partnership opens doors for co-marketing efforts to promote joint services and expand both ecosystems. Nuklai and io.net also plan to develop case studies showcasing the benefits for professional clients. The future holds promise for further collaboration and innovation as this partnership unfolds.

About io.net

io.net deploys and manages on-demand, decentralized GPU clusters in the IO Network. IO Network is a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) of geo-distributed GPUs from multiple sources. Hundreds of thousands of GPUs are accessible today in IO Network, and this Internet of GPUs is specifically architected for low latency, high processing demand use cases like AI/ML ops and cloud gaming. io.net democratizes access to GPU compute capacity while reducing costs, expediting lead times, and expanding choice for engineers and businesses.
