We’re pleased to announce that Hanyang University’s Electromagnetics & Intelligent Design Lab (EIDL) has joined as the latest EdgeCloud AI customer. This further establishes EdgeCloud as the most widely adopted decentralized platform for advanced AI research powered by a hybrid cloud edge GPU architecture.

This collaboration strengthens Theta’s presence in the East Asia academia sector along with KAIST, Seoul National University, Yonsei University, Korea University, and seven other institutions in South Korea, as well as the University of Oregon in the United States. In addition, Theta’s corporate clients include The AI Lab, a renowned e-learning platform, Jamcoding, a leading coding education platform, and Liner, a global innovator in generative AI-powered search solutions. Notably, in March 2024, venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) ranked Liner fourth among generative AI services, following OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

“Our collaboration with Theta Labs provides the computational power to significantly accelerate our AI research in photonic and semiconductor technologies,” said Professor Haejun Chung, Director of EIDL. “With Theta EdgeCloud’s high-performance hybrid GPU infrastructure, we can execute large-scale simulations and AI-driven optimizations at unmatched speed and scale. This partnership empowers us to push the boundaries of innovation in photonics, AR/VR optics, and next-generation semiconductor devices.”
