Decentralized GPU provider io.net has entered a strategic partnership with Zero1 Labs, a decentralized AI (DeAI) platform, to revolutionize the development of decentralized AI applications.
The partnership will leverage io.net’s robust GPU compute network to enhance Zero1 Labs’ AI training capabilities and bolster the creation of AI agents for its Keymaker marketplace, an open platform for DeAI developers.
Advancing decentralized AI ecosystems
Zero1 Labs, known for its inclusive Proof-of-Stake-based ecosystem, is pioneering DeAI with tools optimized for secure and privacy-preserving computation.
The partnership with io.net will allow Zero1 Labs to access demand-based, cost-effective GPU compute resources, enabling developers to efficiently build and deploy advanced AI applications.
At the heart of this collaboration lies Keymaker, Zero1 Labs’ flagship AI marketplace. The platform, featuring over 100 DeAI tools, empowers developers to create, discover, and optimize onchain AI applications.
By tapping into io.net’s high-performance GPU clusters, developers can accelerate training for autonomous AI agents capable of executing tasks such as enhancing trading strategies across multichain environments.
Collaboration highlights
Under the terms of the partnership, io.net and Zero1 Labs have committed to several key initiatives:
- Developer community initiatives: The two entities will foster innovation by hosting hackathons, bounty programs, and community-driven events. These activities aim to build a thriving developer community and enrich the DeAI ecosystem.
- Strategic partnerships: By combining resources, io.net, and Zero1 Labs will provide developers in the DeAI ecosystem with access to advanced AI expertise and cutting-edge GPU compute infrastructure.
Enhanced efficiency and lower costs
This partnership is expected to significantly reduce hardware and infrastructure costs for Zero1 Labs, allowing it to expand its DeAI developer base and increase the adoption of decentralized AI applications.
io.net’s IO Cloud platform will serve as the backbone for provisioning GPU clusters, ensuring Zero1 Labs can meet the growing demand for high-performance computing.
By reducing barriers to entry, the collaboration aims to drive innovation in decentralized AI and unlock new use cases for AI agents across blockchain ecosystems.
Leaders speak
Tausif Ahmed, VP of Business Development at io.net, emphasized the transformative potential of the partnership:
“Through this collaboration, we’re enabling the decentralized AI community to build, scale, and innovate like never before.”
Wyatt Benno, Co-Founder of Zero1 Labs, echoed this sentiment:
“Our partnership with io.net is a pivotal step in growing the DeAI ecosystem, bringing cutting-edge compute resources to developers worldwide.”
As decentralized AI continues to gain traction, the partnership between io.net and Zero1 Labs marks a significant milestone, promising to enhance the accessibility and scalability of DeAI applications.
