Predictive Oncology Unveils Aethir (ATH) Digital Asset Treasury: The First Strategic Compute Reserve
Predictive Oncology (NASDAQ: POAI) announced the launch of the $344 million Aethir (ATH) Digital Asset Treasury (DAT), the world’s first Strategic Compute Reserve.
The future of AI innovation requires access to scalable and cost-effective, high-performance GPU computing that is instantly available to support enterprises worldwide. The Aethir DAT acts similarly to an oil reserve, but for compute. The next generation of life-changing AI platforms and apps requires streamlined compute access, and with Aethir’s DAT, premium computing resources are always readily available to support ecosystem growth.
This Strategic Compute Reserve is the next step on Aethir’s path to universal cloud computing, available to AI builders at scale, without the constraints of centralized cloud providers.
Aethir and Predictive Oncology are breaking down the barriers imposed by centralized, capital-intensive hyperscalers, empowering startups, enterprises, and public sector innovators alike to participate in the global AI economy. By allowing investors and builders to own a stake in the backbone of tomorrow’s AI infrastructure, Predictive Oncology transforms exclusive technology into a universally accessible asset.
Aethir Welcomed Chainlink & AR.IO to the AI Unbundled Alliance for Web3 AI Innovation
The AI Unbundled alliance of industry leaders from the Web3 AI ecosystem and infrastructure sectors, continues to grow. Aethir’s decentralized AI infrastructure welcomed Chainlink and AR.IO to the AI Unbundled alliance, further bolstering this industry-wide initiative with essential blockchain and AI infrastructure.
The goal of the AI Unbundled alliance is to provide visionary builders with the resources necessary to develop and launch life-changing innovations that push the boundaries of AI creativity and everyday use cases.
Chainlink’s all-in-one oracle platform enables the creation of workflows across blockchains and legacy systems, facilitating the development of next-generation AI-powered Web3 applications with battle-tested infrastructure and enterprise-grade reliability. Chainlink Labs will sponsor hackathon bounties and provide grants to eligible participants in the AI Unbundled alliance on a case-by-case basis, involving the adoption of the Chainlink standard within the alliance’s Web3 AI ecosystem.
AR.IO introduced its permanent data layer, providing decentralized and immutable storage for datasets, model versions, and outputs, to the AI Unbundled alliance. This ensures AI work is reproducible and auditable over long periods of time, along with programmable domains and verifiable routing for AI builders.
Rainfall Joined Aethir’s EcoDrop Initiative
Aethir’s EcoDrop initiative has brought numerous exciting benefits, airdrops, and exclusive perks to the Aethir community from various Web3 AI ecosystem partners.
Rainfall, the world’s first self-sovereign AI network, has partnered with Aethir’s decentralized GPU cloud to show appreciation for the community behind the world’s only enterprise-grade decentralized GPU-as-a-service for AI, Web3, and gaming. As part of the partnership, Rainfall joined Aethir’s EcoDrop initiative and introduced a series of exciting community benefits for our decentralized AI infrastructure community.
Through this partnership, the Aethir community gained exclusive access to Rainfall’s Rainmaker Pool and received early invitations to the Star Aura launch, Rainfall’s flagship AI celebrity fan activation. Furthermore, Aethir Edge device owners and ATH stakers will receive a portion of Rainfall’s $RDP tokens as an exclusive airdrop after Rainfall’s upcoming token generation event.
