Build the Decentralized AI Future Together
AETRON is open to partners across every layer - from hardware manufacturers and educational institutions to government bodies. Different tracks fit different mandates.
The AI compute market
History Repeats: The Next Hardware Gold Rush
From 2016 to 2021 NVIDIA stock rose more than thirtyfold: crypto mining created a sudden demand for GPUs. RTX 3090 cards sold at three times their list price. Mining farms bought cards by the thousand. Manufacturers could not keep up with orders.
Now AI is creating demand on an order of magnitude larger. Compute for training and inference dwarfs anything crypto mining ever asked for. The difference: this demand is backed by real AI applications and long-horizon load.
The AI compute boom is already under way. A partnership with AETRON gives a share in an infrastructure market on the scale of $1.2T.
AI is hitting compute scarcity and monopoly control. AETRON shifts the picture through a distributed network: AI compute becomes available and affordable.
Hardware Partnerships
Integrate your compute infrastructure into AETRON's decentralized AI network
GPU Manufacturers
Connect your GPUs to AETRON's decentralized compute layer
Market Opportunity · The peak of the H100 shortage is behind us: a card costs $25–33 thousand and lead times have fallen from a year to 6–14 weeks. The question has shifted from where to get capacity to what to run on the capacity already bought. A partnership with AETRON gives that hardware steady utilization without depending on a single customer.
- Direct integration into global AI compute marketplace
- Guaranteed utilization through network demand
- Revenue sharing from compute operations
- Early access to emerging AI workloads
- Joint go-to-market strategy and marketing support
NPU Chip Manufacturers
Partner with specialized neural processing unit manufacturers for optimized AI inference
Market Opportunity · As AI moves to edge devices, NPU makers can plug into AETRON's distributed inference network. The NPU market is estimated at $29B by 2030.
