Since the beginning of Hyperbolic, we have been committed to making high-performance AI accessible and affordable. Our vision is to create an open and accessible AI ecosystem—an “AI rainforest”—of the people, by the people, and for the people, where AI infrastructure, services, and models are collectively grown and governed to benefit all.
Emboldened by this vision, we have emerged as a crucial AI inference and infrastructure provider, bridging the gap between Web2 and Web3 AI. We have achieved this through offering the first and only verified decentralized AI inference service—leveraging underutilized compute from our global network of suppliers and passing the savings onto our users.
In the Web2 world, we support a diverse range of organizations from tech giants to prestigious academic institutions. Because we provide the only practical, verifiable decentralized inference service on the market, we are also the go-to solution for AI builders in Web3.
Our platform's versatility and reliability have attracted partners across multiple sectors, each leveraging our capabilities in unique and innovative ways. Hyperbolic supports some of the most influential names in AI and Blockchain, including:
Hugging Face
Stanford
Cornell
UC Berkeley
NYU
Quora
OpenRouter
Black Forest Labs
Nous Research
Virtuals Protocol
Myshell
Tech Platforms and Web2 AI Companies
At the forefront of AI development, we enable the builders in our community to seamlessly deploy their AI apps to Hugging Face’s AI app building framework, Gradio, directly from our dashboard. Through this partnership, we have made AI inference more accessible and efficient for developers looking to have a global reach. Further, Poe By Quora, OpenRouter and Myshell have integrated our AI inference service with their platforms, giving their users access to our vast library of open-source AI models and cost-efficient inference optimized for performance.
Research and Academic Excellence
Hyperbolic’s story starts in the halls of academic institutions with researchers struggling to stretch their grant money to access the compute they need to truly advance the field of AI. Cornell University Professor Alexander Rush, UC Berkeley's research teams including Prof. Raluca Ada Popa, and Stanford University's AI research group all rely on our decentralized GPU network to run AI inference and to train the next generation of AI models.
At NYU, renowned AI researcher and Turing Award winner Yann LeCun’s research group also utilized our infrastructure to conduct groundbreaking Multimodal LLMs research, demonstrating our platform's capability to support even the most advanced computational needs.
In collaboration with UC Berkeley and Columbia University, Hyperbolic also developed the Proof of Sampling (PoSP) protocol – the gold standard for verification, outperforming zkML and opML in cost and efficiency.
Model Hosting Revenue-Sharing Partnerships
At Hyperbolic, we're committed to creating an ecosystem that benefits everyone. We provide model builders with a platform to host their LLMs using our inference service, connecting them to our community of 40,000 developers using our inference APIs.
We have joined forces with Black Forest Labs and Nous Research to facilitate accessible, affordable, and high-performance AI inference for their proprietary open-source models. With Black Forest Labs, we have implemented our AI inference revenue-sharing model for their flux.1 models, as well as revenue sharing with Nous Research’s Hermes 3.
Collaborative Partnerships
Our collaborative approach extends to partnerships with the leading pioneers in decentralized AI.
LMSYS has found particular success leveraging our computing platform to power their Chatbot Arena, running their sophisticated FastChat and SGLang applications to serve state-of-the-art open vision-language models. Our work with LMSYS showcases the power of our AI inference services to support these specialized models.
Our partnership with Virtuals is unlocking new opportunities for developers within the Web3 space through access to Hyperbolic’s AI models to enable immediate and high-quality inference to power AI agents. Our custom model hosting ensures seamless scalability and unwavering reliability, and by working closely with Virtuals to fine-tune their AI agents, we deliver smarter, more efficient outputs that cater to evolving demands.
Our partnership with EigenLayer deepens the foundational trust, verification, and transactional security of decentralized AI infrastructures. By integrating Hyperbolic’s Proof of Sampling protocol with EigenLayer’s restaking protocol, we are establishing reliable cross-chain validation of AI agent operations while enabling dynamic reputation-sharing frameworks. This collaboration clears the way for the development of a secure crypto payments platform, combining automated billing, escrow mechanisms, and usage-based pricing.
As an AI company bridging Web2 and Web3, we are proud of our partnership with NEAR, as it represents a significant advancement in decentralized AI infrastructure. Through this collaboration, we are providing scalable AI inference for NEAR AI users, routing requests from the community to our decentralized GPU network.
This collective effort across Virtuals, EigenLayer, and NEAR especially demonstrates our commitment to building trustworthy, decentralized AI systems that can serve the next generation of decentralized AI applications with seamless and reliable inference.
The Future of AI Is Collaborative
We are extremely proud of the partnerships we’ve fostered with the leaders at the forefront of AI. They illustrate the pivotal role Hyperbolic plays in advancing verifiable decentralized AI inference and infrastructure across various sectors. From supporting cutting-edge research to enabling commercial applications, our platform continues to drive innovation in AI.
The diversity and prestige of our user base reflects not just our technical capabilities, but also our ability to adapt and provide specialized solutions for different use cases. As the AI landscape continues to evolve, Hyperbolic stands ready to support the next wave of innovations and breakthroughs in AI as we lift up our ever-expanding community of AI builders within our living, breathing ecosystem.
