The shift to cloud infrastructure has become a massive trend for the internet. But moving generative AI and gaming applications to the cloud can strain computing resources.
That’s why Singapore-based Aethir is focusing on decentralization — of the sort made possible through blockchain and peer-to-peer networking — as a way to speed up games and AI.
One of the ways it does this is to take graphics processing units (GPUs), which are in short supply, from across a whole decentralized network of infrastructure companies and then more fully utilize them to accelerate computing tasks at hand. The company aims to save 60% on costs.
Today, Aethir is also announcing that it is participating in Nvidia’s Inception program, which has helped support thousands of AI startups over the years. Mark Rydon, CEO of Aethir, said the company wants to blaze trails in Decentralized Cloud Infrastructure (DCI) for gaming and AI. By joining the Inception program, Aethir can propel its mission of revolutionizing the gaming and AI industries.

The company’s primary goal is to bring joy to gamers and facilitate swift, secure, and cost-effective interactions with artificial intelligence from anywhere in the world. Their flagship product, Aethir Atmosphere, introduces a groundbreaking concept — a GPU-as-a-Service ecosystem for infrastructure providers while simultaneously democratizing a new Web3 cloud for enterprises.
This innovation aims to offer the experiences of the future to users today, Rydon said. With the support of Nvidia’s accelerator, Aethir will have a platform to connect with venture capitalists and increase its visibility through exclusive events, potentially attracting additional investment and partnerships.
“Joining Nvidia Inception is an important part of our company’s evolution. Nvidia’s unrivaled expertise in GPU technology and deep learning will be an invaluable asset as we continue to innovate and push boundaries in the cloud gaming and AI verticals,” said Kyle Okamoto, CTO of Aethir, in a statement. “This collaboration not only accelerates our technological trajectory but also firmly positions us within an elite network of forward-thinkers and industry leaders. We’re geared up for a future where Aethir and the other members of Inception can set new industry benchmarks together.”
Addressing a pressing issue in current cloud technology, Aethir offers an infrastructure alternative that solves the cost and
Skull and Bones’ release window was confirmed yet again from an official, if somewhat uncertain source.
Despite the 1,000 explorable planets and seemingly endless side quests, Starfield’s universe can sometimes be extremely narrow. I mean that literally. The corridors in several space stations and ships are normally wide enough to fit only one person, which obviously leads to issues when you have fellow friendos following you. And now players have one simple request to crew mates: move out the dang way.

But alas, there are all kinds of unique gifts you can get for someone of the geekier persuasion.
