About Aethir

Aethir is revolutionizing the cloud infrastructure landscape by focusing on Decentralized Cloud Infrastructure (DCI) tailored for gaming and AI companies. Addressing a pressing issue in current cloud technology, Aethir offers an alternative that solves the cost and latency challenges associated with delivering heavy GPU computational loads. The existing cloud models primarily focus on storage, CPU, and low-level machine learning model (LLM) training requirements, neglecting the emerging needs of the Human-AI interaction layer. This layer combines AI inference with consumer-facing services, demanding real-time, low-latency interaction capabilities. Aethir’s DCI leverages decentralization to ensure low capital expenditure and high efficiency.

Unlike traditional cloud service providers, we operate as a mining network, eliminating the overhead costs of unused equipment. This positions us advantageously, especially as the global market faces imminent chipset shortages. Our network architecture also ensures global scalability, with costs significantly lower than traditional models. Our network’s design ensures increasing speed and decreasing costs as it scales. With a decentralized network, the probability of a user being close to a node — thus experiencing lower latency — increases as more nodes come online.

Consequently, Aethir offers an incredibly elegant ecosystem that becomes faster and cheaper as it expands. Built by a seasoned team with experience in scaling top cloud gaming infrastructure, Aethir is the indispensable infrastructure for delivering low-latency, high-computational loads. We are at the forefront of catering to the ever-evolving needs of the AI and Gaming, leading the way in the development and deployment of next-gen cloud solutions.
