SONM, developer of a global decentralised fog computing platform, is starting a joint project with Dbrain, a blockchain platform for collectively building AI apps. The aim of the venture is to examine the possibility of transferring Dbrain’s technical infrastructure from the Amazon Web Services cloud to SONM’s supercomputer.

"Our decentralized global fog computing platform is able to carry out a large number of tasks of all kinds. The processing of data essential for the study of neural networks is one of these tasks. Collaboration with Dbrain is an excellent way of demonstrating the possibilities of our project,” said Alexei Antonov, co-founder of SONM.

Thanks to SONM, Dbrain’s system for training neural networks benefits from greater computing power, enabling far quicker data processing.

"The joint project with SONM creates new opportunities for Dbrain. Our platform links businesses, crowdworkers and data scientists, enabling them to transform raw data into real-world AI solutions. SONM’s capacity allows us to work with a large number of users, providing efficient tools to all parties," said Dbrain’s CTO Alexei Hahunov.

"Neural network training requires the analysis of around 100,000 to a million different types of data. SONM’s resources will help us speed up the processing of information and boost the general productivity of our study,” he said.

Blockchain technology continues to grow rapidly, and many startups can now consolidate by creating hybrid projects with a wide range of opportunities for clients.
