Hyperbolic is creating an open and accessible AI ecosystem, where AI inference is available to all, democratizing this paradigm-shifting technology.
We are building this ecosystem in response to the acceleration of AI development creating an unfortunate paradox: while open-source AI models are theoretically available to everyone, actually using and implementing them remains out of reach for most.
The cost of inference has become prohibitive as centralized inference platforms charge premium rates that can quickly drain development budgets, forcing teams to limit their experimentation or abandon promising projects entirely. Meanwhile, the growing gap between model release and availability has become an ever-widening chasm, difficult to cross.
These challenges make it clear that while a select few large organizations have the resources to leverage AI's full potential, the broader AI community remains constrained by accessibility barriers.
Hyperbolic's AI Inference Service is systematically dismantling these barriers, creating an ecosystem where innovation can truly flourish. We deliver the most current open-source AI models running at top-tier performance to developers and researchers through easy to use API integrations at 70% of the cost of traditional inference providers, bringing AI back to the people.
Low-Cost AI Inference and High-Performance Open-Source AI Models
At Hyperbolic, we've seen countless examples of great minds in AI being limited by the cost of running inference: a developer forced to restrict users on their Perplexity-like app due to unsustainable API costs, research teams unable to validate their hypotheses at scale, and startups watching their runway disappear into inference expenses.
Running on our decentralized network of globally distributed GPUs, we are able to deliver inference services with optimized performance at a fraction of the cost of traditional inference platforms. Our unique architecture transforms distributed, underutilized compute into powerful and coordinated GPU resources, passing significant cost savings directly to our users.
Most remarkably, we are able to offer these services at affordable prices while maintaining the performance of our models at or surpassing the throughput of our competitors.
While many providers compromise on quality by using FP8 precision to cut corners, Hyperbolic stands firm in its commitment to excellence by offering all models at BF16 precision. This technical choice isn't just about numbers—it translates to tangible improvements in model outputs, ensuring developers can build applications with confidence in their reliability and performance.
The Latest Open-Source AI Models
While the open-source AI community continues to push boundaries with new models almost weekly, most inference providers are slow to adopt them, often taking weeks or months to onboard—if they do so at all. Typically thriving on experimentation and innovation, builders find themselves constrained by this limited and delayed access to diverse models.
Hyperbolic's AI Inference service is changing this narrative by offering an extensive array of both instruction-tuned and base models onboarded within 1-2 days of their release. Made up of AI developers themselves, our team understands how critical it is for builders to get their hands on the latest models right away and are therefore dedicated to swiftly hosting the newest models and responding to community requests. This agility ensures our community always has access to the latest breakthrough models, fostering an environment of continuous innovation and providing developers with unprecedented flexibility in their AI implementations.
Hosted Base Models
While instruction-tuned models serve their purpose, base models offer a blank canvas for innovation. We're proud to host an extensive collection of base models, enabling developers to explore the raw potential of AI without the constraints of pre-defined instructions. This access to foundation models opens new possibilities for custom fine-tuning and specialized applications.
Few other inference services have the infrastructure to be able run these models, especially at the optimized performance and accessible pricing we offer.
The Gold Standard in Decentralized Verification: Proof of Sampling (PoSP)
We’re able to offer efficient pricing for our inference service because it’s run on our decentralized GPU network. While decentralization promises to democratize access to AI, other solutions often lack robust verification mechanisms, leaving developers uncertain about the reliability and consistency of their results. In the absence of trusted verification mechanisms, many remain hesitant to build on decentralized infrastructure—so does it really democratize access?
Trust in decentralized systems requires more than promises. Our groundbreaking Proof of Sampling (PoSP) protocol, developed in collaboration with researchers from UC Berkeley and Columbia University, sets a new standard for verification in decentralized AI systems. PoSP ensures that every inference run on our network is verified without the significant computational overhead of other verification mechanisms, combining the benefits of decentralization with the reliability of traditional centralized systems.
Unwavering Commitment to Privacy
In an era where data privacy concerns are paramount, Hyperbolic takes a radical stance: we never store your inference data. This zero-storage policy ensures that your intellectual property and user data remain exactly where it should be—in your hands. Our approach enables developers to build freely without worrying about their competitive advantage being compromised.
Take Your AI Inference Hyperbolic
As we continue to push the boundaries of what's possible in AI inference, our commitment to empowering developers with the tools they need to build the future of AI remains consistent. The combination of our rapid model deployment, superior precision, comprehensive model selection, and groundbreaking cost efficiency creates an environment where innovation can flourish.
