AI and blockchain are the golden children of emerging technology. The marriage of these worlds would mean hyper-growth of collective innovation—however, rarely have they been able to converge in a meaningful way to make this a reality.
Bitcoin proved decentralization could work at scale, and ChatGPT showed us how AI can shape our future—but combining these principles has seemed an insurmountable challenge, until Hyperbolic.
Hyperbolic has created an open-access AI ecosystem that works in perfect synergy. Our Decentralized Operating System (Hyper-dOS) transforms the AI compute landscape by coordinating idle GPUs from data centers, mining farms, and personal machines into a powerful network, allowing us to serve this accessible compute to developers on our GPU Marketplace.
Run on this decentralized network, our AI Inference Service delivers the latest open-source models within days of release. Offering the gold-standard of AI verification with our novel Proof of Sampling protocol (PoSP), we foster trust in our decentralized infrastructure, giving global brands the confidence they need to innovate.
Breaking the Silos of Web2 and Web3
While many have made attempts to launch decentralized AI projects, none have been successful at delivering true value. Unlike crypto-first competitors who struggle to gain traction beyond the blockchain bubble, Hyperbolic has built its foundation on also serving the real-world needs of Web2 companies and developers. With over 100,000+ developers in Web2 actively using our platform, we've demonstrated that decentralized infrastructure can deliver the performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness that mainstream applications demand.
Hyperbolic is already processing over two billion tokens daily for major brands with our decentralized infrastructure. This is a proven solution that's earned the trust of industry giants like Quora, Hugging Face, and OpenRouter, alongside prestigious academic institutions including Cornell, UC Berkeley, NYU, and Stanford.
Having gained the trust of Web2 developers and researchers, we have a unique advantage in the Web3 ecosystem. Our team offers a distinctive dual expertise with deep understanding of both traditional AI infrastructure and decentralized blockchain technology. Our founders and developers come from both the Web3 and Web2 spaces—allowing us to create solutions that truly bridge both worlds. While other projects in the Web3 space struggle with basic issues like performance and reliability, our AI specialists have been able to deliver an inference service that already matches or exceeds the capabilities of centralized providers. Our GPU Marketplace also isn't just a concept—it's actively helping companies slash their AI infrastructure costs by up to 75% while maintaining enterprise-grade quality.
Rather than starting from scratch with blockchain technology and working backward toward practical applications, we've proven our technology in the demanding world of production AI applications. By already serving high-stakes use cases for established brands, we have the infrastructure and verification mechanisms necessary to make decentralized AI actually practical at scale.
Fostering Trust to Bridge Promise and Practice
The missing piece that dissuades Web2 developers from utilizing other decentralized AI projects is trust. Enterprises need absolute confidence that results generated by third-party nodes are reliable and secure, and the traditional Web3 mechanisms for verification have proven impractical for AI. zkML and consensus mechanisms are too time-intensive and computationally expensive to be practical for the immediacy expected for AI outputs. Users can’t wait days for a consensus mechanism to run to receive their results, and zkML explodes the cost benefits of decentralized AI with its large validation proofs.
Hyperbolic has solved the fundamental challenge of validating decentralized AI systems with our groundbreaking PoSP, developed in collaboration with researchers from UC Berkeley and Columbia University.
PoSP makes decentralized AI practical for enterprise use while maintaining the highest standards of reliability by leveraging game theory through imposing a Nash Equilibrium for third-party nodes delivering AI inference. By creating a system where acting honestly is the most profitable strategy, we guarantee that AI outputs are unmanipulated and come from the promised models. The efficiency of this breakthrough enables us to run all models at BF16 precision—superior to competitors' FP8—ensuring that democratization doesn't come at the cost of quality.
Real Solutions, Not Just Hype
While many projects in the decentralized AI space remain theoretical, Hyperbolic is delivering tangible and trusted results today. Our decentralized infrastructure processes 43 tokens per second for language models and generates 17 images per minute for text-to-image models, matching or exceeding the performance of centralized solutions.
With our tangible reliability and performance, we are successfully unifying the entire decentralized AI development experience, from training and fine-tuning to inference, all while maintaining enterprise-grade privacy and security. Through doing so, the convergence of AI and blockchain technologies is no longer a distant vision, Hyperbolic has made it a reality by creating an ecosystem where innovation can flourish without compromise. We're not just another project riding the hype wave—we're the only company successfully bridging the gap between mainstream adoption and decentralization with products that actually work.
As AI becomes increasingly central to business operations, the limitations of centralized infrastructure will become more apparent, making our decentralized approach not just an alternative, but a necessity. Our growing network of partners from both Web2 and Web3 demonstrates that decentralized AI isn't just possible—it's the future of scalable AI across industries.
